year, around Australia she'll be doing shows.
ArtieAUDIENCE
And Kim Wilde's going to be performing, I think, on the 17th of November, real name Kim Smith.
ArtieAUDIENCE
I'm not sure, I think I told you she changed her name many years ago.
ArtieAUDIENCE
From Wilde? Yes, it's the original name, Kim Smith.
Tony McManusHOST
Go on.
Tony McManusHOST
It's all right, you go.
Tony McManusHOST
I was just going to say, when you think about it, Kim Smith, lovely name, dull and boring compared to Kim Wilde.
Tony McManusHOST
Of course, it wouldn't suit her as an
Ryan OliverHOST
And I did the first time I saw it, even with less knowledge of the lore.
Ryan OliverHOST
And it's mostly baffling because I think it's done so well in strangers pray at night is the use of music, like the use of like, cambodia by kim wilde or like air supply making love uh nothing at all and strangers pray at night is like fucking awesome it is so good and the music choices and like the choices aren't bad but like where they choose to use them and in this tone annoyed the shit out of me like it is just so annoying like and oh god i think it was in the trailer too that they have what's up by four non-blondes in the movie and i'm just like come on guys like we can't we can't do this
Chris ThomasHOST
it's very much like newer horror movies have been using needle drops of ironic songs or doing like remixes of like well known songs I think of like five on it in like us like that kind of yes
Ryan OliverHOST

TiffanyGUEST

Brad WilliamsHOST
It's so funny, 'cause I forget who I was talking to about that.
Brad WilliamsHOST
Oh, it was, um, it was Ricky Wilde, uh, Kim Wilde's brother, and she's like, "Oh, you should have.
Brad WilliamsHOST

Michael McNutt
Bryan KlugerHOST
with sweet freedom.
speaker_1HOST
demonstrating how the band used expansive soundscapes and layers of syncopation, a deliberate displacement of musical accents, to create a powerful, emotionally engaging sound, tying their music directly to global political activism and African themes.
speaker_1HOST
Kim Wilde, Precision and New Wave The success of artists like Kim Wilde highlights the transition to a British pop sound dominated by sharp, synthesized rhythms and precise production.
speaker_1HOST
Tracks like Kids in America showcase the clean, often minimal, arrangements of the new wave era, which frequently employed the offbeat rhythms popularized by Jamaican ska and reggae, giving the music its characteristic forward drive.
speaker_1HOST
The Celtic heartbeat, the rhythmic soul.
Daniel StuckeyHOST
And this album is entirely covers of pop and rock songs.
Daniel StuckeyHOST
songs, songs from the bands or artists like Elton John, Donna Summer, Patti Smith, Kim Wilde, T-Rex, Creedence Clearwater Revival, slash Tina Turner, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Daniel StuckeyHOST
The band took those cover songs they were doing one track off for each of their original studio released albums and this time they decided to do a whole album full of it and i'm sure it's because if you look at streaming numbers on those previous albums for example kill hammer being one of them with the cover of crazy train war brigade even with a cover of sex bomb you tend to find that the highest stream track on those albums is the cover song it's sex bomb it is crazy train so the band obviously saw those metrics and they decided to do a whole album of it either that or they just had a passion for doing cover songs either because they thought it was fun interesting a new take One thing I will say is when you take a pop or rock song and you do a completely different 180 in terms of style cover of it.
Daniel StuckeyHOST
You had it a lot in the late 90s with punk rock covers of pop songs.
Daniel StuckeyHOST
They are all covers.
Daniel StuckeyHOST
Track one.
Daniel StuckeyHOST
