The Lunchbox Interview: Tim Rayne on Raynemaker Productions

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-TimRayneFilms require vision, which is not in the eyes.

A surprise second guest for this Thursday: Tim Rayne is a local film-maker whose company, Raynemaker Productions, has recently been awarded a substantial TeleFilm grant. Tim is also a former Station Manager at CHSR!

He stops in to catch me up on the work he has been doing in film, as well as the great opportunities he’s got coming up on the horizon.

To end off the interview, I played the track No, Please from Motherhood‘s recent release, Baby Teeth.

The Lunchbox Interview: Hushi on the Cultural Expressions Festival

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-2016CulturalExpressionsFestivalThe world is your community; the community, your world.

For the past 8 years, Fredericton has been enthusiastically celebrated the multitudes of international cultures that have become integrated into the fabric of our community. The Cultural Expressions Festival is the peak of that celebration. This weekend, dozens of performances from over 20 parts of the world will fill the stage in Officer’s Square, and food from all four corners of the world will tempt your tastebuds.

My guest today is Hushi, one of the organizers behind this year’s Festival. He joins me to talk about the things you’ll be able to see, taste and do there, the preparation that goes into this year’s festival, and a bit about this year’s highlighted cultures of Iran.

The 8th Annual Cultural Expressions Festival runs June 23-24 in Officer’s Square.

To end the interview, I played a multicultural bonanza of a track: from the band Reykavictim who come from the Czech Republic, from an album partially written in France and recorded in Shanghai, a Chinese track called Dao Shi Hou from the album Xiao Di Fang.

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

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.
