#10HMN - "Twiggy" [BALLOONS KILL BABIES]: "Insane in the brain & the story of Ted"
Who better to have at my 10th birthday than one of my oldest pals – Twiggy Carter from the band Balloons Kill Babies [QLD] in the funniest episode yet – hands down!! I met Twiggy when he was about 15. He roadied for my band Enlightened By Darkness and was always a huge supporter of ours. Then he created this band, and Jesus tap-dancing Christ are they good. Progressive, atmospheric metal/rock perfection.
We start the show off with a double header: TWO clips of online insanity. A lady eats pottery & cigarette butts PLUS a dude who hoards butt plugs. How can you lose with quality programming like this? BKB have released a bunch of cool music and it was great to sit down and find out about the process behind the music. We definitely spoke about the band, but Twiggy & I have a tendency for tangential retardation: so this one went everywhere!
There's some questionable impressions. There's some terrible comments. “Cvnty Questions” gets the show rockin' and the BKB track “Illuzia” at the end of the episode. Twiggy and I both know a gentleman who we'll call “Ted”. Ted is an associate of ours who is a gold mine of ridiculous stories: we delve into a bunch of our favourites. Too hot for TV!
If you want a sick drinking game – take a shot every time you hear “Balloons Kills Babies: they're an instrumental band [no singer]” in the podcast. It became a running theme & you will get drunk. ENJOY!
