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

We managed to somehow return for another week, so on that same note, somehow enjoy this episode with somehow collected episodes. That’s three “somehow”s, not including the one I just used. I don’t know how I just ramble, but rambling is what I do. Now if you don’t mind, I need to run away. Keep counting.

Is it the 13th? Huh.

The Lunchbox 2020-11-13: Believe In The Music

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Today:

  • I spoke with Nadia Francavilla and Emily Kennedy about this weekend’s Music UNB Contemporary Music Festival. Join the festival in person or online on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
  • Because today is World Kindness Day, I brought forward an interview from 2014 with Tim Fox who was then working with the Fredericton Community Foundation to promote Random Acts of Kindness Day. Seems like something we all need to participate in, perhaps at least once a week, if not more often.
  • And we have more Positive Songs For Pandemics with a song presented this summer: FM Berlin‘s Packing Your Bags For Nowhere.
  • And because they are celebrating the release of their new EP “Poetry In Motion” tonight at The Charlotte Street Arts Centre, I’ve included a couple of songs from Villages: On The Horizon and Poetry In Motion.

The Lunchbox 2020-11-05: Transformative Performance

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • Redheads, rejoice! It’s Love Your Red Hair Day.
  • “Remember, remember, the 5th of November.” Infamous words about a turbulent time, sometimes referred to as Gunpowder Day or Guy Fawkes Day.
  • “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Or, as one of my former managers put it: “You have to have a plan; only then can you deviate from it!” It’s not easy to wrangle cats, to hats off for Project Management Day.

Feature presentation:

  • The Silver Wave Film Festival starts tonight with a gala presentation of Bone Cage. Back in 2018, I spoke with Len Falkenstein, Alex Pannier and Devin Rockwell who were performing in Theatre UNB’s stage version of the original play.
  • And in 2017, I spoke with one of 2020’s Faces of Mental Illness (as decided by Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH)), author Keith Lyons about his book Oh No, It’s Thursday!
  • Lainie B brought another Positive Song For Pandemics, this time bringing out a classic: Elvis Costello‘s (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding.

Events:

  • As mentioned before the Silver Wave Film Festival starts tonight, and many of the streamed movies are going to be free for folks from the Maritimes.
  • The TNB Fall Festival of New Plays continues this week with two performances. First up, join them tonight at 7:30pm for a reading of new work by Jena McLean called An Ocean of Evergreens. On Sunday afternoon at 2pm, tune in for Wood Buffalo by “the grand poobah of theatre” Len Falkenstein.
  • Maggie’s Farm Revival are playing this evening at 5:30pm at Dolan’s Pub.
  • Visit The Charlotte Street Arts Centre tonight at 7:30pm for Playing With Fire, part of the Symphony New Brunswick Virtuoso Series. Tickets are available at the door for $26 for adults, $10 for students or free for children. For more information, visit: symphonynb.com, email symphony@nbnet.nb.ca, or call 634-8379.

No news today due to technical problems.

The Lunchbox 2020-11-03: Tell A Story

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • It was Sandwich Day, Candy Day and Jellyfish Day, but I don’t suggest you combine those together directly…
  • You bet your bottom dollar, it’s Cliche Day. This is the only day where they cannot be objected to, so make the most of it.
  • Today was Japanese Culture Day, a day to celebrate their contributions to music, art, literature, philosophy and more!
  • And, of course, it’s United States Election Day. Wish our neighbours well; it’s been a trying time, and this might signal a positive change.

Feature presentation:

  • I released an audio drama that I produced on Friday (What Was It?), but that meant that I wasn’t able to repeat my celebration of the day interview with Jack Ward of Mutual Audio Network and The Sonic Society from 2014. So, here it is!
  • And coming up on November 27 at The Charlotte Street Arts Centre will be the album release for Sleepy Driver Presents Northeastern Chorus. I spoke to Peter Hicks about this project earlier this year. I also included a couple of tracks from the album: Bar Nuts and Sauvignon Blanc and The Last Chord.

Upcoming Events:

  • It’s the last chance to catch Dinner and a Show: “Let’s Fall In Love”, a production of Spearhead Theatre Company at 5:30pm in Maxwell’s at The Crowne Plaza-Lord Beaverbrook. It’s a bubble table of 4 people. with a 4-course meal and a play featuring Jacob Martin and Kelly McAllister as two friends who met on a dating app just before the pandemic hit. Get your tickets quick on EventBrite.
  • Unfortunately, the final performance of the other Dinner and a Show: “Know Brunswick?” has been cancelled for this Wednesday night.

News updates:

  • New Brunswick Public Health reported no new cases of COVID-19 yesterday afternoon.
  • Matthew Vincent Raymond insists he didn’t stage evidence about his delusions at his trial yesterday.
  • A ribbon-cutting was held in St. Stephen this weekend to celebrate the first two-kilometres of the Coastal Link Trail Project.
  • RCMP is turning to the public for help locating two missing 15-year-olds from Miramichi.
  • The already-postponed Jeux de l’Acadie Finals could end up being pushed back another year.
  • Ottawa is spending another $204-million to help First Nations deal with the pandemic.
  • And after months of campaigning, American voters will learn who will be president for the next four years.

The Lunchbox 2020-11-02: Start By Looking Back

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • It was Broadcast Traffic Professionals Day, which is not about people who talk about pile-ups on the Transcanada, but rather about the people who help ads to flow through a radio or television station. Maybe less sexy, because it’s unlikely they are going to use a helicopter, but just as important!
  • I didn’t know anything about Dynamic Harmlessness Day, but as I understand the idea, it is to recognize the harms we each individually cause in the universe, and figure out how we can systematically lower each of them. It was started by a vegan, so you can imagine their first suggestion.
  • Around the world, there are things happening that are important for people to know about, and it’s journalists who walk on the edge of that, often putting themselves in harm’s way. They are sometimes even targets of violence or other crimes. That is something we should not tolerate, and the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists is recognized by the United Nations to support this idea.
  • On November 2 of 1783, new settlers in the St. Anne’s Point area (now Fredericton) experienced their first snowfall and freezing temperatures. They camped in small tents without floors and had no provisions for the upcoming winter.

Feature presentation:

  • Because of the historical nature of the day, I decided to bring forth two of my chats with local historians. I spoke to Stephanie Pettigrew on her research into Witchcraft in NB, and Leah Grandy about her work in Uncovering Loyalist Stories.
  • And because I wanted some music to lift things up, I turned to the unstoppable voice of Ben Caplan for Down to the River.

News update:

  • New Brunswick Public Health reported one new case of COVID-19 yesterday afternoon.
  • The Department of Education signed an agreement with the Atlantic Canada Aerospace and Defence Association for the 2020-21 school year.
  • A national civil liberties group has filed legal notice in a suit against New Brunswick and its lack of access to abortions.
  • RCMP say a 40-year-old Pigeon Hill man is facing a number of charges after an incident in the community on Wednesday.
  • A new survey shows universities in Atlantic Canada have seen declines in enrolment due to uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The stone cenotaph in Barker’s Point on Fredericton’s northside was refurbished this year thanks to Veterans Affairs Canada.
  • And the province says municipal transit services will receive almost $1.6 million in funding for relief related to COVID-19.
