Panel Borders: …for travel’s sake
In the last in a month of episodes of Panel Borders looking at depictions of travel in comic books and graphic novels, Alex Fitch talks to a pair of cartoonists whose small press and collected comics are all about travelling for the sake for it.
Oliver East discusses his Trains are… Mint trilogy of graphic novels, published by Blank Slate Books, which chronicle his walking along train lines from Manchester to Liverpool and across Germany, as well as his latest project Swear Down. Oliver has become part of the landscape itself, with the dissemination of his album covers for Elbow’s The Seldom Seen Kid and Build a Rocket Boys! on billboards, and Alex and Oliver discuss the marks that people leave on the environment such as these and the artist’s interest in graffiti.
Also, Alex talks to Kayla Marie Hillier about her web / self published comic Galavant which depicted her travels from Toronto to Manchester and back again, via South London, in the Winter of 2009 / 2010 and is available in a collected edition from the author.

The Opera Hour – series 2/episode 4
Opera singer Richard Scott explores opera through the prism of various themes – politics, power, greed, the abominable, magic, lust, comedy.
In this week’s show we talk to opera director Netia Jones about her upcoming productions of Where the Wild Things Are and Higglety Pipplety Pop, Knussen’s two fantasy operas, at the Barbican. And we’ll be hearing extraordinary excerpts from both the Knussen operas as well as highlights from some other childishly fantastical opera scores!

Hooting Yard: Art Squad.
Yes, sad to say there was a time when I was beset by anxiety dreams, in which I was poised, with a sharp pair of scissors, to cut out “guns” and its definition from a brand new dictionary, the pot of mucilage and a spatula beside the dictionary on the desk, and my hand trembled and I could not make the snip. I had this dream, or nightmare, over and over again for a number of years. In a more alarming variant, I dreamed that I managed to cut out the “guns” entry, but then mislaid it, or dropped it into a wastepaper bin, or it was consumed by flames and I had but a pile of ash, which I then painstakingly tried to paste, atom by atom, into the dictionary, with mucilage, and I would wake up shrieking.

Hello GoodBye – 20.10.12 – UMEZ, Kostoglotov, Bob Meyer & Joe Wilkes
Lots to squeeze into 90 minutes on The Hello GoodBye Show today!
Guests include: Kostoglotov, Umez, Bob Meyer & Joe Wilkes
Kostoglotov is the London based bedroom recording project of Daryl Worthington. He writes and records lo-fi, ambient and drone music using a combination of Dictaphone, 4-track and laptop.
2012 has seen a plethora of releases from Kostoglotov, including a split tape with Camberwell improvising no-wave electro punks Circuit Breaker on the Liminal Noise Tapes label, and a solo CDR entitled ‘Our Beautiful Decay’ on his own Neither Scene Nor Has Been label and several free download releases.
Most recently he released an EP entitled ‘East London 27.07 – 13.08’, this was built on field recordings taken from outside his house in East London during the 2012 London Olympics. In September the Eyes EP was released on the HLF/PIN netlabel.
Kostoglotov also organises and curates his own irregular nights of experimental pop, drone, punk and electronic music at Power Lunches, Dalston, entitled ‘Tell Me What To Do.’
Umez; A brand-new Japanese avant-garde band based in London. Their sound contains two completely opposite side of music genres, noise and pop. Although they’re two opposite music genres, their noise sound is purely heavy white noise meaning it matches perfectly with their pop sound reminding you the sorrow you feel in the end of the summer. Also, they’ve already supported a few influential artists such as Damo Suzuki (ex. Can) and Dee Dee (Dum Dum Girls) despite their short activity.
Also, The London Folk & Roots Festival organisers Bob Meyer and Joe Wilkes will also be dropping by the studio to discuss the event.
London Folk and Roots Festival will be on the 28th October 2012 at The Amersham Arms. 388 New Cross Road. SE14 6TY.

OST 20.10.2012 – BBC Records Special
Soundtracks, library and television music plus other assorted ephemera brought to you this week by Robin The Fog. Having just released ‘The Ghosts Of Bush’, a well-received LP of his recordings of the former World Service building Bush House and earning himself the title of ‘The BBC’s Resident Hauntologist’, it seemed only good and right to invite Mr. Fog to present a special edition of the programme looking at the BBC’s own in-house label and some of the weird and wonderful records they’ve put out over the years. Expect music for home movies, movement and mime, sound effects and even a few sailors, as well as a couple of extracts from the LP that some claim ‘may be the last piece of true radiophonics’. You’ll also discover the meaning of the phrase ‘taking down with birds’ and improve your German. Kinky…
