Panel Borders: Creating Constantine

Continuing our month of shows about the 25th anniversary of John Constantine: Hellblazer, Alex Fitch discusses the first appearances of the character with co-creator Steve Bissette. Alex and Steve discuss the artist’s tenure as penciller on the acclaimed horror comic Swamp Thing, drawing (the as yet unnamed) Constantine in the background of scenes before Alan Moore gave the character a voice, and Steve’s continuing fascination with the monster genre.

Hello GoodBye – 19.01.13 – Woman’s Hour, Lost Harbours + Joe Oldfield

The Hello GoodBye Show at noon today features live music from Woman’s Hour, a four piece band formed in 2011 whose stripped back music plays with dense sounds and dead space, held together by patient grooves and an upfront honest delivery. Their new 7? single To the End is released on Parlour Records on 11 March.

Plus Lost Harbours, a two-piece experimental folk duo from Southend on Sea, influenced by an eclectic array of sources from 60?s psych folk and modern composition to musique concrete and drone.

And Joe Oldfield, whose love of American and English folk and blues led him to pick up the guitar and start playing his own versions of traditional songs with some original material thrown in.

The Opera Hour: series 2/episode 13

Opera singer Richard Scott explores opera through the prism of various themes.

Today, since it’s the new year, he looks at resurrection and revitalisation, playing music by Handel, Bellini, Mahler and Beethoven in which heroes are discovered alive, lovers are tragically fooled by sleeping potions and even the greatest of composers learn the truth of their own mortality.

Free Lab Radio – Existence is Resistance

Longstanding underground DJ and jungle producer Persian’s collaborators include MC Mello, UK Apache and DJ Texsta. Producing vinyl since 1991, Persian has remained a dedicated jungle producer and as such is one of the last few proponents of this genre. But will jungle, and especially jungle on vinyl, come back? We spin Persian’s dedicated productions in the studio while mulling over this pertinent question, while playing a few cheeky games based on Persian’s many monikers and on wrongspeed vinyl settings… Follow Free Lab Radio’s blog or more regular posts on Facebook

Hooting Yard: The Breadcrumbs Man

On a stormy March day precisely one year after the historic picnic, the Viper Pit of Gaar was officially renamed the Bottomless Viper Pit of Gaar at a special pitside ceremony. The mayor, the beadle, the Grand Vizier, the honest burghers and a gaggle of peasant folk gathered for speeches, the cutting of ribbons, the flying of banners, the relentless pounding of drums, the parping of tootlers, and chanting, chanting, chanting, and other celebratory what have you, including the tossing into the Bottomless Viper Pit of several vipers, and a picnic, with sausages and beakers of invigorating tonic.
