RFYL Episode – MuteEP208

Posted on 2022-04-22 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

Did someone go mute? Did you silence your radio? Turn down your volume? I totally understand and still appreciate you coming here anyway.

As someone with a weakness for wireless headphones, I finally got a brand new set that don’t become untethered the moment I walk away from my desk (which makes you wonder why I was using the previous set at all) and needless to say I am now enjoying super loud music everywhere I go.

Why am I telling you this? Because that is how exciting my life is. Go buy some music and headphones.

Playlist:

Gimme Gimme – Dead Sara
A Little Love – Blood Red Shoes
Skin – Powder For Pigeons
Under The Sun – Shumaun
The Great Divide – Grand Electric
Night of the Black Goat – Ian Blurton
Interval – The Joy Formidable
Promess – Cellar Twins
Aspire – Claemus
Bored of the Lie – The Black Frame Spectacle
Walking Backwards – Blue Hour Ghosts
Return To Me – Unleash The Archers
Breakaway – Tsunami Bomb

RFYL Episode – Rift EP 207

Posted on 2022-04-15 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

I’m told that turkey is involved with this weekend in some fashion. I also remember stories from when I was younger about people getting gifts. I mostly remember chalky chocolate, some hollow and some not, and eating it for hours a day. I think that’s the only reason why I’m so well-adjusted.

Anyway, enjoy your weekend. Or don’t. I’m not your boss.

Posted on 2022-04-08 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

Hello April! We’ve managed to make it to a point where a playlist can continue to spin and we can keep everyone going through this Second Winter nonsense. We’re going to start off in a spacey place, get a little bit heavier as time goes on and end it with a bang. So turn it up loud and proceed to yell-talk over the music because this is as much socialization as we get in this day and age.

I’m done being creative now, enjoy the podcast.

Into The Blue – The Joy Formidable
Kick Out The Lights – Ian Blurton
Swimming Through Molasses – Tsunami Bomb
Black Sheep – Dorothy
The Wire – Kilmore

RFYL Episode – SomehowEP205

Posted on 2022-04-01 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

Now that we’re all suffering through second Winter, we can, at least, appreciate how bright it is when the snow is endlessly falling down. Though, now that I’ve written this I’m sure we’ll only have sunshine and/or endless rain instead.
Nobody came here for the weather report.

Today’s show is all about how I don’t take anything out of rotation, and instead randomly revisit some albums from around the time I started at CHSR, with no real rhyme or reason behind it. It’s just the magic of having an extensive library and constantly getting songs stuck in my head while I do whatever it is my day job is.

April Fool’s? Whatever.

Have a playlist:
Another Day – Powder For Pigeons
Conflict & Desire – Bella Clava
What Do You Want Me To Say – Napalmpom
You Talk Too Much – Damn Cargo
Over & Over – Reignwolf
Boss Fight – Careers In Science
Epilogue – Claemus
A.O.T.B.H. – The Creepshow
Turning Point – Sacrifice to Survive
Patient Zero – The Black Frame Spectacle

Posted on 2022-03-25 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

Yes, we’re back yet again with an episode to help get you through the tail end of a week. I often try to consider what I can possibly say at this point that is equal parts sarcastic as it is motivational, and I can only say that the one thing getting me through this week is randomly passing out after work. Not in a narcoleptic sense but more of a “I give up” sense.

Anyway, we’ve some solid entries in today’s show so let’s just get right to it, shall we?

Wild Fires – The JB Conspiracy
Pretty Little Broken Thing – The Standstills
Blood Blood Blood – The Creepshow

The Lunchbox Interview: Matt & Jason (Fortune of Wolves)

Posted on 2022-03-21 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Local playwright Ryan Griffith is well known for combing familiar, local culture and people with stories that are often bizarre, occult or just downright unsettling. My guests today are Matt Carter (co-producer) and Jason McIntyre (the voice of “Lowell”) from the audio drama production of Griffith’s massive play, Fortune of Wolves.

We talk about how this all came to be, how it’s still unfolding, and how Griffith has yet again brought both the familiar and the peculiar to life, this time with a cast of over 60.

Fortune of Wolves is produced by Big Noise Audio Collective, and is being released as a podcast weekly on Fridays. As of this post, there are 8 episodes released, with a half-dozen to remain. Find it on your podcast directly of choice, or find it on the Theatre NB website.

Listen and enjoy!

RFYL Episode – ProgressTreeEP203

Posted on 2022-03-18 by Matt Nightingale Posted in Run For Your Life!

It feels like it was four hundred thousand years ago that time jumped ahead, but that might just be due to the fact that the only thing keeping me going is too much caffeine and the need to pay rent. It’s a weird thing.

Anyway, we’re going to shake this progress tree at it’s roots by giving you tunes that speed you up, slow you down and make you think, then stop all that nonsense to speed things back up again. That’s just the kind of person I am. You’re welcome.

Thanks for listening.

Sometimes, we are forced into making choices and growing up — we realize that life is Tough!. I spoke with Emily Darling and Chris Rogers, two of the students involved in the upcoming Drama UNB production of Tough!. This production is a 4th-year thesis production for Emily, who worked alongside fellow student Joshua Burke to produce, direct and generally just make this play happen. Chris is one of three actors in this project.

Tough! runs from March 17 through March 19 at 7:30pm each night at Memorial Hall on campus.
