    <description>Being raised in a strict fundamentalist Christian group in the 1980s can cause some very predictable problems. Depression can be a Christian teenager's most constant companion despite church promises to the contrary. Dark humour, and even darker music, can help. This podcast is centered around the songs I wrote to deal back then, and what happened when I then picked away at recording workable versions of them for decades.

(For parents divorcing, family vehicles needing repair, and church splits.) Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons Second Edition, and The New King James Revised Standard Amplified Message Version. Geoff literally causes a division before age 20. Church communities as great buckets for hiding candles under. Does this song sound like the theme to TV's The Facts of Life?</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>In this antepenultimate episode: "Canada Bill" Jones and why he played a poker game he knew was crooked. Have you ever attended a church that openly preached that their group was the only right one, or at least the rightest one by far in the area?  (Or did they just live like this was the case?) In Brethren circles, non-membership has its privileges. Sports and poker metaphors. Teaching people they can't simply go to another church intensifies the fighting over everything in the group you've made the only game in town. How many drummers does one man need? A lot of painstaking technical trickery, trying to make a blast from the past blast rather than crash. Closing in prayer as a way of forestalling an open discussion.</itunes:subtitle>

Kristian Krap so crappy you can't decide whether you're too Christian or too cool to own it. Heathen spatulas. Should there be Christian Archie comics? What would a Christian version of The Archies band play like, Sugar, Sugar? Growing up with that sacred/secular line. A discussion of two paintings, on an audio-only podcast. Are The Carpenters too wholesome to comfortably sit on the shelf next to Neil Young and Tom Waits? A juvenile British sense of humour about sex and the body. Obscenity?

  <itunes:subtitle>Reaching some conclusions about worship. Realizing that, given how different various people's preferences are as to worship styles, and how opinionated they are as to what they like, I had no idea what God might or might not like.  If worship is for his benefit rather than our own, then surely everything's not equally good? (He didn't much like Cain's bloodless, vegan sacrifice, did he?) Can worship be so much about us and our tribe and providing a curated emotional experience that we've left God out of his own party almost entirely?</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>A song presenting the unpopular idea that perhaps, all too often, church attendance is more about making much of Christians rather than  much of God. Working on mixing a drum kit without it blasting the whole mix full of low midrange mud. All the different musical approaches to a single religious song. Should the worship team try to outdo Lady Gaga? The vegan, bloodless sacrifice of Cain. The idea that there are basic moods trying to be achieved in modern evangelical churches: feelbad or feelgood services.  Happy clappy, or smells 'n bells. That some services are about quiet, inner, meditative silence, and ones that are about jubilant, group exhuberation.  And that people argue over how much their church services succeed or fail at helping them feel the way they want to be helped to feel.</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>The Wikkid Podcast adds more cowbell and gets friendzoned this week.  That is to say, it explores that experience of having grown very close with someone, a romantic relationship seeming to you to be starting out well, and suddenly being told you should be "just friends" instead.  And then, instead of that meaning "sod off and leave me alone," it means you're around to provide the usual shoulder to cry on, the sounding board to sound on, and on and on.  But you go along, right, because maybe she'll change her mind?   Caryl says they never reverse this decision. Susan weighs in. Evan asks why, if men are famously bad at picking up on (female) hints, do women then communicate with men primarily in hints? Siri recommends against Emily blocking her ex who wants to be "just friends."</itunes:subtitle>
