Panel Borders: Unnamable horrors in genre comics by Brubaker, Abnett and Lanning

Concluding our series of shows about H.P. Lovecraft, Alex Fitch talks to three creators who have recently penned comics inspired by his monsters and scenarios. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning talk about adding a Lovecraftian twist to Marvel Superheroes in their titles Realm of Kings and The Thanos Imperative, which feature alternative versions of Captain Marvel and the Avengers possessed by the ‘Many-angled Ones’. Also Ed Brubaker discusses Fatale, his latest collaboration with artist Sean Phillips, following Sleeper, Criminal and Incognito, which mixes noir storytelling with occult ceremonies and tentacle faced Nazis.

Hello GoodBye Show 10 December 2011: The Oscillation and Simeone

We have The Oscillation plus Simeone performing live in session on Resonance FM this afternoon.

The Oscillation began as the solo project of Demian Castellanos, a synth-led outfit which released its debut album ‘Out of Phase’ in 2008. Forming a live line-up, The Oscialltion have toured the world to great acclaim, accompanied by a pschedelic lightshow from collaborator Mr Hand. From the tightly crafted songmanship of Sandstorm to the full-on trip of Telepathic Birdman, 2011?s ‘Veils’, sees Castellanos taking a more rock driven direction, with prominent guitars and driving rhythms, reminiscent of Can and the darker side of The Cure and The Banshees.

Lee Simeone is a multi-instrumentalist who composes atmospheric synth-pop. His self produced debut album, ‘The Dream Weaver’ was recorded at The Mad Professor’s complex in Surrey back in 2009 and was released on Kevin Mooney (Adam & the Ants) and Gary Asquith’s (Renegade Soundwave) ‘Le Coq Musique’ label (a track from the album was included in an exhibition at the Tate Modern in London.) Simeone’s new album ‘An Introduction To Simeone’ sees him being hailed by Rough Trade as ‘a wunderkind multi-instrumentalist’.

OST 12.11.2011 – Adrian Corker

Soundtracks, library and television music hosted by Jonny Trunk. Special guest today is Adrian Corker, musician and film music composer. He has collaborated with, amongst others, Peter Greenaway and Michael Nyman, and has written and composed for over 15 films. His latest work is the soundtrack to acclaimed documentary Way OF The Morris, a soundtrack that is released in November. And in the usual combination of sublime and ridiculous, there’s cheap laughs to be had in another classic competition – Films and chocolate.
We do have fun on this show, don’t we? Don’t we, though?

Panel Borders – Alan Moore: The Horrors at Red Hook

Panel Borders episode 250 – Alan Moore: The Horrors at Red Hook

Continuing our month of shows about H.P. Lovecraft, Alex Fitch talks to Alan Moore about his final graphic novel that isn’t part of the continuing League of Extraordinary Gentlemen narrative – Neonomicon – which has just been published, along with its prequel The Courtyard, as a graphic novel by Avatar Press. Both comics follow on from Lovecraft’s tale ‘The Horror at Red Hook’ and Alan discusses why he chose that story in particular to explore further, plus the origins of The Courtyard in an abandoned short story collection called ‘Yuggoth Cultures’, and examples of Lovecraftian imagery in his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen saga.
