Panel Borders: The art of Brendan McCarthy

Edited broadcast 05/11/09 as an episode of Strip! on Resonance 104.4 FM

Excerpts from pages 45 and 51 of the 1988 2000AD annual by Brendan McCarthy

Starting ‘British Mavericks’ month on the show – a series of conversations with illustrators whose work is surprisingly avant-garde for mainstream comics – we have an interview with pop art surrealist Brendan McCarthy. Appropriately for Guy Fawkes’ Night, Brendan’s work is the comic strip equivalent of fireworks, mixing lurid colours with hallucinogenic rendering that he has managed to smuggle into British periodicals such as 2000AD and Crisis and more recently has led to work in the field of film and animation design, working on TV series such as Reboot and the new film Mad Max 4: Fury Road. Today’s interview was conducted by author and librarian Pedro Galvao in front of an audience of Graphic Novel fans at Minet libraryin Camberwell as part of the Lambeth Readers and Writers Festival during the summer. (The episode was recorded and edited by Alex Fitch)

As part of Black History Month, Swiss Cottage Library Gallery presents an exhibition of comics by black creators and of African-American characters in comics. The collection coheres around black representations through the imagery and language of the comic book medium: representation as markers of both historical and contemporary struggles. The theme is developed through archival works from the 1930’s to the present-day and culminates with a display of the singular comic art of Patrice and John Aggs, Paul Peart-Smith, Woodrow Phoenix and Lance Tooks.

09 October – 06 November 2009

Reality Check: Time travelling Hobbits and other Cryptic paradoxes

Alex Fitch, director Chris Bouchard plus some of The Hunt for Gollum cast and crew

In a pair of Q and As recorded in front of a live cinema audience at this year’s Sci-Fi London Film Festival, Alex Fitch talks to the directors of two new low budget films: The Hunt for Gollum and Cryptic. Joining Alex and director Chris Bouchard on stage, members of the cast and crew of The Hunt for Gollum talk about making an extended short film that stands up to the quality of the official Lord of the Rings movies, in an adaptation of material by J.R.R. Tolkein that was a labour of love for all involved, even when recreating Middle Earth in Epping Forest on limited resources. Alex also talks to producer / co-director Danny Kuchuck about his film Cryptic which mixes teen therapy with tropes of murder mysteries, revenge thrillers and time paradoxes to create an intriguing Sci-Fi drama .

Hooting Yard: Dobson’s Card Index

webmaster@resonancefm.com (Resonance FM) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:28:11 -0800

The astonishing thing about the “little placards” displayed by Father Sogol, the Professor of Mountaineering in Daumal’s novel, is how similar they are to the immense card index maintained by Dobson, upon which he relied when writing his out of print pamphlets. Dobson would have approved, too, the Professor’s method of displaying the cards – at least, sometimes. One of the pamphleteer’s more irritating characteristics was his inability to settle on the keeping of his cards. At times, like Sogol, he pinned them up on every available surface. Then a frenzy would take him and he would tear them all down and shove them into one of his innumerable cardboard boxes. Marigold Chew reports that Dobson spent hours upon hours arranging the cards when they were in their boxes, ordering and reordering them according to various abstruse cataloguing systems. No sooner was he done than he would once again tip them out of their boxes and pin them up on walls and screens and pinboards and what have you. And of course, all the time he was adding new cards to the collection.

This episode was recorded on the 16th April 2009. A complete transcript of this episode can be found on Frank Key’s Hooting Yard website. Accompanying Hooting Yard On The Air, the three publications Gravitas, Punctilio, Rectitude & Pippy Bags, Unspeakable Desolation Pouring Down From The Stars and Befuddled By Cormorants are available for purchase.

Dr Adam Rutherford - Professional Geek

webmaster@resonancefm.com (Resonance FM) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:20:20 -0700

Adam Rutherford is a professional geek. He holds a PhD in genetics, is an editor at the science journal Nature, and presents radio and television programs, including Cell for BBC4: a series covering four billion years of evolution and 300 years of biology, intrigue, betrayal and rather more sperm than is absolutely necessary. Writing for the Guardian's blog Comment is Free, his grouchy response to atheists being universally labelled as "intellectual cowards" briefly held the record for the most comments ever.

Peter Cave - This Sentence Is False

webmaster@resonancefm.com (Resonance FM) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:20:02 -0700

Peter Cave is the author of Humanism: A Beginner's Guide, which BHA President Polly Toynbee described as "A book for our times", and of the best-selling Can a Robot Be Human? and What's Wrong with Eating People? - both books containing 33 puzzles about religious belief as well as about reasoning, logic, ethics and political themes. His most recent work is This Sentence Is False: an Introduction to Philosophical Paradoxes.

He is involved in the media, most recently scripting and presenting a series of philosophical paradoxes for BBC Radio 4, set in a paradoxical fairground, and a BBC Radio 4 programme celebrating John Stuart Mill. He has taken part in many public debates concerning God and religious belief.

Cave is the current chair of the Humanist Philosophers.

Peter studied philosophy at University College London and King's College Cambridge and has held lecturing posts in Khartoum and London; currently he is associate lecturer in philosophy for The Open University and City University, London, and has been invited to give lectures in various European universities.

One Life Left -- s05e11 -- #107 -- Superstar DJs

webmaster@resonancefm.com (Resonance FM) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:28:00 -0700

One Life Left -- s05e11 -- #107 -- Superstar DJs

Superstars? Has the whole three-time award-nominees thing finally got to Team OLL? Not really; the superstars in #107 are in a special interview segment and the DJ part is to do with OLL's even at Nottingham Game City...

What else? Lots else, including:

* Simon does a little bit of spot character assassination on our GMA competitors

* Ann doesn't know how piracy works

* Ste forgets to record the show, hence the late podcast

Talking of the podcast, those of you who aren't subscribed on iTunes or on our Libsyn RSS feed won't have heard Ann Life Left (or the BAFTA special we put our last week). You should sort that out immediately because it's brilliant.

As mentioned at the top news of One Night Left, OLL's amazing event at Nottingham GameCity has leaked (courtesy of a huge poster in Nottingham and observant OLL listener Beth). We talk about it on the show and there'll be more info here later but please, keep the evening of the 30th free. It's going to be amazing.

Music on #107: Hiroshi and MoxoM ft Smiletron.

See you next week, by which time, with any luck, we'll be three time award-disgracers. Follow that action on Twitter (onelifeleft / steishere / byronicman / scanters). Bye!

Team OLL

One Life Left -- x07 -- Ann Life Left #1

webmaster@resonancefm.com (Resonance FM) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:02:00 -0700

Two boys down and one girl left. But wait, isnât three the magic number? Thank goodness this isnât Europe âs only FM broadcasting maths radio show. Sadly this is a videogame radio show/podcast, and the boys with the knowledge are in America . So, for one week only, Ann Life Left invites two female friends on to talk games(ish).

We discover some girls really donât have the greatest gaming credentials.

We decide that doesnât matter.

We do the games industry a favour and solve the Top 10 Worst Things About Games.

Also, pretty much the best music ever played on OLL this week, all from 8bitcollective.com:

Womanizer â omgben

Halo â Pirates with Paper Hats

Hot N Cold â Play it Loud

Total Eclipse of the Heart â Chalices of the Past

Umbrella â electronicMESS

Very special show next week, then back the week after with a regular show. Whatâs regular? I donât think we know any more!

Ann + friends.

One Life Left -- s05e10 -- #106 -- Show Offs

webmaster@resonancefm.com (Resonance FM) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:22:00 -0700

We thought the show was off, you see. And then Ste put off his trip to the US by a week, Ann wasn't doing anything all that important, and, well, we're all show offs. So show on! Episode 106 contains the following unordered delights: ++ No Simon! Not that that's a treat, you understand, and we know you'll miss him terribly. But it's a major feature of this episode that's worth calling out for your attention. It's just Ann and Ste in the studio, no guests, no frills, plenty of rambling, several features and some music. Not as much music as we say at the start, but some nonetheless. ++ Those features include a brand new S.Minton track, Derek doing some minimal industrial economising this week, and the irrepressibly analytical Dr Avatar. No Taliah this week because Simon wanted to be around to 'explain'. Sinister. ++ A competition! I know! And the actual, genuine, honest-to-God One Life Left phone number which you can use to ACTUALLY, genuinely, honest-to-God phone us. So do that thing. Also news of next week's show which is going to be astonishing, a disaster or both. Music on #106: Something Happened When You Were Born by minusbaby and Olden Days by syphus. Do email us, add us on Twitter and most of all, tell your friends. There'll be special things going out for the next couple of weeks. We'll be back as a full team on the 12th October. See you then! Ste and Ann xx
