The Lunchbox Interview: Bard In The Barracks Presents: “The Adventures of Pericles”

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-BardInTheBarracks2016Who doesn’t like a good adventure in the woods?

For 11 years, the Bard in the Barracks has brought Shakespeare to an outdoor location, thrilling audiences with classic drama, comedy and action! This year, they are staging one of the Bard’s later plays, The Adventures of Pericles. I admit, I’m not as familiar with it, but fortunately I’m joined by dramaturge Len Falkenstein and two of the actors of the company, Alexa Higgins and Jean-Michel Cliche. They demonstrate one of the revelatory scenes from later in the play, and we all talk about what it’s like staging a play than spans decades in the great outdoors.

Music today:

  • Hoping to invoke the drama of a Shakespearean play, I chose to lead with Cowpuncher‘s Kiss Kiss Kill, from their album Hustle.
  • And reflecting the majesty of nature and the transition from light to shadow of theatre, we heard Shade by Elephant Skeletons, from their latest album, The Traveler Part 1.

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
On today’s episode, we brag about how some of us didn’t get to see Bloody Diamonds in Ontario, as well as sharing a bunch of cool tracks of albums not out yet (Pack AD, Balconies) and wicked tracks of albums that just released (Stitched Up Heart, Lacuna Coil). Also, music that I just generally love and will always play (especially you, Tsunami Bomb) and I honestly don’t need to keep typing because you’re probably predicting everything else I’m writing here. Okay, he likes music and he likes this song and he likes that song, something something Beneath the Grid, request show, we get it.

Also, be sure to throw out some requests for next week’s show! Seriously I do like requests and I will read them and will probably play at least one of them. I do exist on Twitter and Facebook as well, and if you’re the kind of person who has to drive home at 5 PM, you can live-message me while it’s going and we’ll have a grand ol’ time. You’ll laugh, I’ll laugh, the music will laugh, that’ll be creepy, you know the drill. RAMBLE TIME IS OVER.

Playlist:

THE BALCONIES – War
The Pack AD – Fair Enough
Kilmore – Weight of the World
Kitchen Witch – Slip Stream
Doubleshot: Tsunami Bomb – 5150 / The Invasion From Within
Lionsault – Living With The Devil
Bloody Diamonds – Toxic
Beneath the Grid Music – Skies Collide – I Had Wings Once
Shades of Sorrow – Soul Hyperdrive
Stitched Up Heart – It’s So Easy
Lacuna Coil – Breakdown
That Handsome Devil – Atom Shell

The Lunchbox Interview: Juliane Nowe (Oneness) [FULL EPISODE]

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-2016-OnenessSometimes, it’s good to stop doing everything for a while and focus on nothing at all – nothing but your breathing, and a speaker…

My guest today is Juliane Nowe, yoga instructor and organizer of the upcoming event called Oneness. 12 speakers will come together to tell 10-minute stories of their life and thoughts on being a balanced person. We talked about the event, Juliane’s path toward yoga, and finding balance.

Music today:

  • From the new Walrus EP Goodbye Something, we have what I presume to be an ode to being outside in the weather: Wearing It.
  • I find that admittance and even the embrace of one’s own ignorance is a good place to start to truly learn things. The Strumbella‘s may agree, as they admit We Don’t Know on their recent album, Hope.
  • And, in the spirit of getting dressed appropriately for stripping down your life, I welcome TWRP‘s opus, The No Pants Dance.

RFYL Episode: TalkToMyselfEP22

Posted on by Posted in Run For Your Life!

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
As the title suggests, I spent an unhealthy amount of time talking to myself on today’s episode while shamelessly promoting a whole bunch of bands (since that’s.. pretty much the whole point of the show) and blasting great music into your ear-holes. I also discuss weird things happening to the show in relation to the actual town I’m in, talk about other things, and probably some stuff beyond that.

I was also weirdly caffeinated until about the midway point, which is where I drop off the sanity bus and start blathering. It’s good that this is a music show, because spoken word? Nobody wants to hear me do that.

Oh hey, playlist time:

Kilmore – Peace of Mind
Kitchen Witch – Third Eye
Bloody Diamonds – Toxic / Sugar and Spice
Screech Bats – ET
Diemonds – Wild At Heart
Beneath the Grid Music – Dear Stalker – Since When Were We Enemies
Double Experience – Impasse
Rockyard – Grindhouse
Gygax – Chain Lightning
Matchless – King’s Ransom
Tsunami Bomb – Marionette
Brody Dalle – Don’t Mess With Me
