Soundtrack, library, television and other raunchy swaggering with Jonny Trunk
This week’s podcast (and the first for ages, sorry about that) is from April 2012 when the gorgeous Carry On thespian legend Fenella Fielding brought her rich, velvety tones to the studio and Jonny almost to his knees with excitement. After some initial trouble mic-ing the dear lady, we moved onto a playlist of some of her greatest moments, including a big bad mouse, an incredibly rare and incredibly sensual, erotic, aerobic workout flexidisc and lots of giggling. There was also a touch of hysteria generated by the competition, which must rank as one of the most demented OST phone-ins ever. Left us all panting…
Panel Borders: Scott Snyder / Jock – The Black Mirror
In the first of a series of shows about comic book creators who collaborate together, Alex Fitch talks to writer Scott Snyder and artist Jock about their 2010 / 2011 collaboration on Detective Comics, collected as the graphic novel Batman: The Black Mirror. Although Snyder’s current run on Batman is also winning critical acclaim, his first story showed his great affinity with the Dark Knight right from the start; The Black Mirror, also featured back-up tales illustrated by Francesco Francavella, which combine with the ‘features’ by Jock to tell a memorable tale of Jim Gordon’s estranged son James Junior returning home with murderous intent, while a former Robin, Dick Grayson, is protecting Gotham City as the Caped Crusader .(Recorded at Kapow! comics convention, London 2012)

Electric Sheep podcast: Modern Hauntings
Alex Fitch talks to a pair of directors who made their first films on very low budgets and deal with subjects of hauntings that are to do as much with memory as anything supernatural. Eduardo Sánchez discusses his debut film The Blair Witch Project and his latest movie, Lovely Molly, which follows a young woman’s mental breakdown while being tormented by the ghosts of her past. Also, in an interview recorded at SCI-FI-LONDON, Shawn Holmes talks about his micro-budget feature Memory Lane which sees an Afghanistan veteran cheating death repeatedly to revisit his memories of a dead girlfriend and solve the riddle of her death.

The Jameel Prize is awarded to artist Rachid Koraïchi. We discuss the history and aims of the Jameel prize with one of its curators Salma Tuqan, and the winning work with Koraïchi himself (via a translator).
Sufi-born Koraïchi is influenced by an interest in life’s signs – real and imaginary, and his work contains glyphs and ciphers drawn from other cultures, mainly Arabic calligraphic scripts. Koraïchi’s sculptures and installations explore a wide range of media such as ceramics, textiles, various metals and paint on silk, paper and canvas. His winning works were large cloth hangings, hung around the Jameel Gallery inside the V&A museum, where this interview took place.

Auto-destruction in Art and Art in destruction: Ed Baxter remembers Art in Ruins and his own contemporary installations incorporating human hair gathered from barbers’ shops and a vast mound of used tea bags. “The cosiness of the war-years’ subway… of the mattress… of the priesthole… of the flophouse… of the bamboo cage. Of the public house. In the mausoleum of kitsch that shelters you from the storming sky hangs a photo of the now bearded Prince and the now blond Minister of Defence, his hair blowing like industrial scum in the Goose Green breeze, subliminally announcing the recovery of equilibrium.” Extract from ‘Filth’ by Ed Baxter 1985.

Hello GoodBye presents The Telescopes and Brockley Guitar Circle performing live in session on Resonance FM this afternoon.
Emerging from the same psychedelic guitar scene of the early 1990s that yielded Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine, The Telescopes have always deen dedicated to the physical force of music played at high volume. Their early records showed their deft ability as songwriters, albeit shrouded in noise and feedback. In recent years they have also employed an abstract route, releasing albums of tape noise and their most recent single which is an almost ambient cover of Nick Drake’s Black Eyed Dog.
The Brockley Guitar Circle are a 7 piece guitar group playing largely improvised, generative music. They are influenced by Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Glenn Branca among others and aim to make music that is interesting, at times challenging and that sounds nice.
