a clip from a talk show of a punk guy talking about religion? post rock

November 20, 2015 9:18 PM

I remember it was a talk show from the 90s, probably. And this guy, maybe famous, was talking/rambling about religion and the universe. I think I came across it because of a clip in a Godspeed You! Black Emperor song, or maybe A Silver Mt. Zion.

I realize this is incredibly vague.

Best answer: Are you thinking of the recording of Iggy Pop sampled at the beginning of Mogwai's "Punk Rock"?

Response by poster: Yes. I don't know why I thought it was about religion. Wow you guys are good.

Yes. I don't know why I thought it was about religion.

You may have mixed up your postrocks with Mogwai's Repelish up in there, that has guy talking about Satanic backmasking in Stairway to Heaven over the track.

Conflating it with The Dead Flag Blues perhaps?

Best answer: 1970s, not 90s: Iggy Pop meets Peter Gzowski (video with with Mogwai overlaid). He does mention "soul" near the beginning, which is why you're thinking religion.

The full 1977 interview is here.
