Panel Borders: The Last Ride of the Western Heroes

Panel Borders: The Last Ride of the Western Heroes

Continuing our month of shows about genre in comics, Alex Fitch talks to creators of small press and mainstream cowboy comics. Alex talks to veteran comics writer John Ostrander about his classic serialised graphic novel The Kents featuring the history of Superman’s great grandparents in 19th century Kansas and their encounters with the Luthers of the time, which is being re-released in three ‘100 page giants’ this winter. Alex and John also talk about Blaze of Glory: The Last Ride of the Western Heroes, Grimjack and his unrealized Doctor Who audio western.
Also in an interview recorded at this year’s Bristol Small Press Expo, Tim Keable and Andrew Cheverton talk about their ongoing comic West, which has recently included horror tropes and guest artists plus their future plans for the title and its graphic novel collections.

Hello GoodBye Show 5 November 2011: No Cars and Renu

Today on Hello GoodBye we open our doors to Renu and No Cars.

Multi-instrumentalist, percussionist, songwriter & composer Renu recently self-released her debut LP ‘Love from London’ to critical acclaim. The album was recorded over a two year period in London, Paris, Warsaw & Toronto and features a host of collaborators, including Seb Rochford (Polar Bear / Acoustic Ladyland) and Anna Tabbush (Tabbush English Folk Family.) The influence of Gainsbourg, Drake & Morricone can all be heard in the cinematic scope of Renu’s music, all swept along with the atmospheric combination of viola and theramin.

No Cars are an all-girl Japanese trio who first met and formed in London. They have declared themselves the new ‘Queens of Cute‘ and perform delightful Bubblegum-Pop ditties about bananas, octopuses and Sellotape.

OST 25.06.11 – Dominic Glynn

In this slightly shortened OST Show today we have special guest Dominic Glynn, not just any old TV and film music composer but a contemporary talent who has indeed created stunning music for Dr Who. Be prepared to spend much of Saturday’s show quivering behind the sofa.

OST is a weekly programme is dedicated to film music, TV music, library music and related recordings, and is hosted by Jonny Trunk. Each week The OST Show welcomes a guest (a collector, composer, director, artist) or specialises in a specific film music genre or composer. Expect lively chat, competitions and anything from avant garde Morricone to Rock Hudson singing.

OST 09.11.2011 – KPM Jazz Special

Film, library and television music with Jonny Trunk. Today the OST has an unexpected airing of all three exceptionally rare Clark-Boland Big Band LPs made for KPM. The internationally famous poll winning band included the cream of European and American musicians, but quite why and how they made three LPs for the London based library label is anyones guess. So, Jazz Convention I, II and III, possibly the rarest set of all British library LPs get a full hearing today. Hurrah!

Panel Borders: Hemlock and Skullkickers – Gendering Fantasy

Panel Borders: Hemlock and Skullkickers – Gendering Fantasy

Starting a month of shows about genre in comic books, Alex Fitch talks to the writers of two very different fantasy comics which show the wide range of approaches to the genre. At a signing in Orbital Comics, recorded in February, Alex talks to Jim Zubkavich about his popular Image Comics title Skullkickers, his web strip Makeshift Miracle and his work on Udon Studios’ Street Fighter comic, then in an interview recorded at last weekend’s MCM Expo, Joceline Fenton discusses her small press comic Hemlock. Both creators discuss the appearance of their comics online, the importance of well designed packaging for the collected editions and their other projects.

Art Monthly 14th October 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this programme  writer Laura McLean-Ferris and writer,musician and curator  Morgan Quaintance discuss Laura’s feature from the October issue 351 of Art Monthly.

Dissolution– on the internet, sculpture and the body in pieces. A new generation of artists is tackling an age-old modernist subject with a post-internet mindset, asking not what we might fear from future bodily dissolution but how we should celebrate its existing effects.

‘Dissolution has been heralded, positively and negatively, incessantly over history. Over the past few years, however, a skewed sense of pace has developed: did we miss it actually happening?’

They also discuss Morgan’s review of Digital and Other Virtualities: Renegotiating the Image a book edited by Griselda Pollock and Anthony Bryant which finds virtual reality reinvigorated by new texts. ‘Cyberspace, the once maddeningly ubiquitous neologism coined in William Gibson’s 1984 novel Neuromancer, has, since its heyday in the early 1990s, been relegated to the bargin bin of passé cultural terminology, along with its sibling virtual reality.’

The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.

Hello GoodBye Show 29 October 2011: Upset the Rhythm and Eternal Tapestry

Today we focus our attention on the record label Upset the Rhythm, with featured live sessions from Way Through & Vice Cooler.

Upset the Rhythm began to promote live concerts in London in 2004 and has consequently helped to transform a once a sterile and uninspiring music scene, into the thriving and truly innovative platform that we are able to behold today. UtR has since metamorphosed into an equally seminal record label and continues to lend its unwavering support to a massive groundswell of like minded and groundbreaking international artists.

Plus, a live set and interview with Eternal Tapestry (recorded this week at Corsica Studios in Elephant & Castle)

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Eternal Tapestry make music which is loosely structured, densely layered and spontaneously composed. Massively prolific, they have released two LPs on Thrill Jockey this year alone, Beyond the 4th Door and Night Gallery, a collaboration with Sun Araw, which was improvised for a radio session at this year’s South By South West festival. And that’s not to mention two self-released tour cassettes.
