QI’RA’S PLAN TO TAKE DOWN THE EMPIRE IS IN FULL-SWING! In this episode of SWCIC, Mike embarks on the first full volume of Crimson Reign; centring around Qi’ra & Crimson Dawn as they try to topple the galactic empire by causing unrelenting chaos! In this episode Mike will take you through the story, as well as the four coinciding comics (Star Wars, Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra & Bounty Hunters), providing you with plenty of trivia, facts & knowledge along the way. These issues show many things, including Darth Vader & Beilert Valance searching for Crimson Dawn spies within the imperial ranks, Aphra facing off against an old rival for some ancient tech, Luke meeting Elzar Mann (from The High Republic) and Qi’ra preparing her many Crimson Dawn agents for what’s to come…

This story is set after Empire Strikes Back & after the War Of The Bounty Hunters event, but before Return Of The Jedi and the reading order is CR1>DV19>BH19>DA17>SW20.

Mandatory Music and CD: Foo Fighters One by One (2002) Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

One by One Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

One by One is the most accomplished album Foo Fighters have made, which isn't necessarily the same as the best. Picking up the clean, focused sound and attitude of There Is Nothing Left to Lose, One by One is gleaming hard rock: it may have a shiny production, but hits hard in its rhythm and its impeccably distorted guitars. Dave Grohl's songs often express (or at least suggest) tortured emotions in their lyrics, but the album doesn't hit at a gut-level; it's too polished for that. It's not a bad thing, since the band is damn good and the production is more focused than any of the Foos' previous albums. The problem is, Grohl's songwriting has slipped slightly. It's still sturdy and melodic, yet not as immediate or memorable. Nothing is as majestic as "Learn To Fly," haunting as "Everlong," gut-crunching as "Monkey Wrench," or even as boneheadedly irresistible as their contribution to the Orange County soundtrack, "The One". Instead, it all fits together and sounds good as a piece, without offering individual moments to savor. Not the worst tradeoff, of course, but it's hard not to wish that the songs stuck in your head the way they used to, even if the album is still enjoyable as a whole.

Please follow the show on Twitter. If you want to email the show we can be reached at MandatoryMusicAndCD@gmail.com.

If it is the best album you've ever heard, it goes to Paradise City

If it is really good, but not perfect, it spends time with Dr. Feelgood

If it is solid, but not perfect, it goes to the Crossroads

If it is mostly crap with a hidden gem or two, it goes to Skid Row

If it is the worst album ever, it goes directly to Hotel California for all eternity where you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Femme on Film is a place to talk about films made for women, about women, by women… just awesome lady folk (and those who identify as awesome lady folk) content that has often been unfairly maligned, misunderstood by critics, and are often way ahead of their time and need a revisit. Ria and a guest discuss all of this and much more!
