Only 27 years after Ghostown, the Radiators from Space have finally gotten around to making their third studio album (they were sidetracked by little things, such as breaking up in 1981 and Philip Chevron spending most of the '80s and '90s in the Pogues), and it's good to report that some things haven't changed much over the years. 2006's Trouble Pilgrim inhabits a stylistic middle ground between the group's scrappy debut, TV Tube Heart, and the significantly more ambitious Ghostown. The tunes are smart and Chevron and his bandmates clearly aren't afraid of a good rant, but this is less scrappy old-school punk than tough but tuneful pop/rock with a straightforward guitar attack and a lack of needless frills. For this reunion, Chevron is joined by two of the group's original members, Pete Holidai and Steve Rapid, and a new rhythm section, bassist Jessie Booth and drummer Johnny Bonnie, and the songs on Trouble Pilgrim are equally informed by the heart and the head, dealing with the larger world as well as the most personal concerns. "The Concierge" is a bitter but literate screed against the war in Iraq, "Hinterland" takes a similar look at the battle between Israel and Palestine, and "Joe Strummer" is a rapid-fire homage to the late Clash frontman and his cultural legacy. But elsewhere, "Words" is a quiet meditation on heartbreak and lost faith, "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs" tells a moving story of childhood, and "Tell Me Why" is a gloriously hooky love song that ought to be a hit single. If Trouble Pilgrim doesn't sound quite like the way you might remember the Radiators from Space, it strikes an easy balance between their youthful ideals and their maturity in the 21st century, and this is music that's eloquent in its anger and compassionate without sentimentality -- not a bad formula for a bunch of aging punks, and it's good to have them back. ~ Mark Deming

| | Johnny Moped Cycledelic CD (1978) (Import) United Kingdom
Trouble Pilgrim
$11.79
In Jon Savage's definitive chronicle of British punk England's Dreaming, he describes Johnny Moped as "one of nature's loons," and seemingly every chronicle of his short career in music refers to the man's fabled eccentricity. So it's fitting that Cycledelic, the lone full-length album from Johnny Moped (which in the grand tradition of Alice Cooper was the name of both the band and its lead singer), is certainly one of the more curious albums to emerge from the first wave of U.K. punk. Moped was a clumsy singer even by the standards of early British punk, given to moaning and gurgling when he couldn't think ...

I am a worship pastor at Hope Foursquare Church in Snohomish, Washington. This is my first recording project, and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of many talented friends.The following has been copied from the CD liner notes:This has been an amazing journey and at times an overwhelming experience. I thought this would be a fun hobbyist project, but it was more like taking a college course on my days off. If I had realized the audacity of what I was about to take on with this project, I may never have begun. I did the whole thing by myself with no prior experience. (I do not recommend this.) The project took over four years because of the steep learning curve I faced through the whole process, and I seemed to run into trouble of some kind at every turn. (Software bugs, hardware conflicts, I'm a little slow, etc.) I re-recorded several parts more than once, and while many things are not perfect, there comes a point when you have to just move on. There are small glitches scattered throughout the album, but it wouldn't be a proper first project without them, right? My hope for this project is that you will be ministered to, and that it brings you into the presence of God.My first instrument was violin at six years old. I played until I was 13 or 14, but never really learned to read music. I somehow managed to pass auditions and play in the Everett Youth Symphony for two years before it became clear that I was in over my head. We got a piano when I was ten, and I learned the basic kid songs, plus a blues tune that I practiced avidly and can still ...
