Penny Foxley returns to give Martin & Sam some more context and detail for the Black Rider play from 2004. The cacophony of the music (and the evolution of that music), Marianne Faithfull’s tailcoat, and the raw energy of early-2000s girlband pop all feature in today’s discussion... sometimes slightly tangentially?
Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include:
Gospel Train, The Black Rider, Tom Waits (1993)
Overload, One Touch, Sugababes (2000)
Gospel Train at 1h35m47s from The Black Rider: The Casting of the 12 Magic Bullets (filmed at the Weiner Festwochen, via YouTube), Wilson/Burroughs/Waits (1990)
… and the same for the timecode 1h38m26s featuring Waits's voice on recording?
Overload music video (dir. Phil Poynter, via YouTube), Sugababes (2000)
Why the same scream is used in Hollywood Films - history of the Wilhelm Scream (via YouTube), Movie Insider (2018)
