S2 E03: Music Guide
Episode Three, Series Two
Lyrics Born – I Changed My Mind
Sid’s a geeky, middle class teenager so it’s only natural that he’d be into indie hip-hop. Lyrics Born follows in that whole indie hip-hop tradition where turntablism is deemed an art-form, crate-digging is an actual verb and people run scared of the developments in hip-hop since Wu-Tang’s first album. I feel it really grates after a while. However if you’re into checking out some more stuff Cage is my favourite; he was dissed on the first Eminem album and everything.
Sigur Ros – Takk
Dan Gethic: “I really wanted Sigur Ros in both Episodes 3 and 4. Although Sigur Ros is a fairly well established band now, I feel that there was no other band of choice for the moments used.”
Dan Gethic (one of the show’s editors) loves Sigur Ros more than anything in the world. If it were up to him Skins would be entirely soundtracked by Sigur Ros. Usually we are able to convince him otherwise, but here, finally, is an episode where it works. (Note: Dan claims he also likes reggae and acid house so what I wrote may not be entirely true).
Fat Segal – 85069896
Everyone’s favourite, Fat Segal, shows his versatility with an ambient composition recalling bands such as Stars of the Lid and Pan Sonic. We use this a lot throughout the episode. It’s pretty amazing what our Fat Segal is capable of and who knows he may write an indie pop song for us next…
The Hats – Skillers
The Hats are getting quite big on the Bristol music scene. So big in fact that they scored a support slot for the fantastic Crystal Castles. The Hats have started recording their second E.P. entitled ‘Big in Malta’ which you’ll be able to hear from March 22nd on their website.
Crystal Castles – Alice Practice
Crystal Castles are one of the best live bands around at the moment so it’s absolutely amazing to have them in the show. Their remix of The Klaxons’ ‘Atlantis to Interzone’ is brilliant live and this (their first single) is the stand out track on their forthcoming debut album. Check out the single on Trouble Records. (We’re trying to get an exclusive stream of the track as we speak, so watch this space…)
Sigur Ros – Untitled
Yet again Dan was able to use his favourite band. This is from before they signed to a major label and got really predictable.
Ryan Adams – Come Pick Me Up
If Wilco are the experimentalists within alt-country Ryan Adams would be considered the garage rocker. After the emotional turmoil of this rather amazing episode Sid refuses to let himself be down and he goes to get Cassie back to the sound of Adams’ upbeat, alt-country.

Episode Three Review
That was painful. Really really painful to watch, and completely unexpected.
And it was fantastic watching.
Despite my opinions in the past, Mike Bailey (Sid) was just brilliant, he can be so emotionless yet emotional at the same time.
I’m going to leave it here. I don’t think anymore really needs to be said.
If you haven’t watched it yet then catch it again NOW on E4+1, or at 10.35pm on Channel 4.

Episode Three: Sid [Spoiler alert]
Episode 3: Sid
Written by Bryan Elsley
Directed by Simon Massey
Sid hasn’t coped at all well with the fact that his best friend Tony is a shadow of the man he was. And his ‘girlfriend’ Cassie moving away to Scotland hasn’t helped either, particularly when he catches her looking like she’s having the time of her life with a pair of tartan-clad boys. So his mood is not improved much when his Grandad, a notorious Glaswegian hard bastard (Maurice Roëves) arrives, dying of cancer, to say his final goodbyes.
He has never liked his son and he likes his Grandson Sid even less. So his arrival makes Sid’s Dad’s (Peter Capaldi) life a misery too. Especially as he’s brought Sid’s Uncle Sandy (Michael Nardonne) and his two weird cousins along for good measure too.
Multiply all this by ten when Sid’s estranged Mum (Josie Lawrence) joins in to play happy families. So it’s Jenkins family meltdown. And when Sid comes down for breakfast he ends up making a discovery that nothing could have prepared him for. Sometimes life is just too sudden, just too cruel.
So Sid’s life crisis deepens into a chasm of despair, what he really needs now is his best mate, he needs Tony. Also guest starring Kevin Eldon and a performance from new band Crystal Castles.
