Wavelength – Destruction in Art part 9

Destruction in Art continued. Deconstructed theme tune composed by DJ Numpty followed by music by William Basinski from the 4CD series “disintegration loops”. Readings from The Destruction of Art by Dario Gamboni referring to incidents of civil disobedience, guerilla tactics and open warfare by the Women’s Social and Political Union between 1903 and 1914, followed by selected texts from 4 Dada Suicides (Atlas Press 2005). The reading fades briefly towards the end due to a technical glitch which might be a happy accident.

OST 24.03.2012 – ITC, The Saint and Cars Special with Andrews Roberts

Jonny Trunk is joined by Andrews “Aspergers” Roberts, one of the great factual dustbins in the UK. Andrews is incredible, and knows dangerous amounts about vintage TV and film. Here he chooses to hang out and talk about ITC, The Saint and cars a lot. An awful lot. Completely brilliant, but you may find your brain starting to seep out of your ears well before the end…

OST 14.04.2012 – Fenella Fielding, Darling…

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

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)
