The Lunchbox 2014-11-24

LunchBox-DAY-1-MONDAYThis is the first of a new experiment: podcasting the Lunchbox every day!

We cover a lot of events and play some great music on The Lunchbox, but I know that not everyone can experience it live each day.

To fix that, I’m going to start podcasting the show every day for a while. Let me know if this is appreciated, or if you want me to go back to the previous policy of podcasting interviews only.

Music today:

The Crazy Train Episode #XIX

CTlogoA1

Fantastic show! We had on our good friend Tyson Davidson former growler for Fredericton’s ‘Anesthesia’. Tyson brought in some of his favorite indie Metal acts from Canada to play.

In the second hour we had a few requests, some new Slipknot, Smashing Pumpkins, Arch Enemy, Slayer and much more!

Thanx again to Tyson for coming in and making it a great show! Expect lots more from local guests to sit in on the show. I’ll have them bring in some of their favorite up and coming Canadian Indie Metal acts!

I’ll try to get the ‘Play List’ up ASAP!

 

Peace, until next week! Keep it Metal – Oh and because I can 🙂 Don’t forget to come out THIS Friday to the Oromocto Legion on Restigouche rd to catch the VERY first Wasteland Zombies show in 20 years!! They’ll be joined by Fredericton powerhouse ‘Moment of Inertia’ and Oromocto destroyer’s ‘Fallen Pawns’! Show starts at 10PM and admission is only $5.! It’s a way out of town, but it’ll be worth it, I promise!

The Lunchbox Interview: Ian Goff & Dylan Sealy of Next Folding Theatre Company for “10, 9, 8, etc., etc”

LunchBox-NFTC1098etcetcTraditional theatre follows a process (I imagine) something like this:

  • Playwright writes a play.
  • Director gets play, casts play.
  • Actors perform play.

But what if you took that process and compressed it to:

  • People get together, write the script, act in the script and direct each other.

That the process behind the Creative Collaboration series from The Next Folding Theatre Company. They take a group of people, throw them together, and tell them to create.

And they do!

The latest work is called “10, 9, 8, etc, etc”. I was joined by two of the writer/actor/directors of the six-person team, Ian Goff (who calls himself mostly an actor) and Dylan Sealy (who calls himself more of a prose writer). We talked about the process of exploration and creation that made this show as well as a bit about the general idea of the show (it’s hard to describe).

“10, 9, 8, etc., etc.” runs from November 22nd through 24th at The Wilser’s Room in the Capital Complex in Fredericton. The show starts at 7pm, and you are encouraged to support the show additionally by supporting their sponsor, Picaroons.

Brother Octopus return with Sea Of Champions

Brother Octopus "Sea Of Champions"
Brother Octopus “Sea Of Champions”

Brother Octopus – Sea Of Champions

Brother Octopus and his Lady Friend are back with their third album “Sea Of Champions”. What’s unique about this album (well, everything is unique about this album), but all thirteen songs were recorded in thirteen different recording studios in his hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. Keeping it completely local even all the mixing, mastering, artwork – everything was done in Edmonton.

 

With songs about Bigfoot’s existence, “who would win” scenarios, and robot love you would almost expect a novelty type album. But the music throughout is catchy and smart and I was hooked from the very beginning of the first track with its tongue in cheek reenactment of radio interviews with your stereotypical DJ.

See them soon?

With no East Coast tour dates in the near future your best bet is just to purchase their album here. You’ll thank me later.

The Lunchbox Interview: Julian Christie on Games Day at the Library

LunchBox-GamesDayGames are fun.

That’s really the point: to enjoy your time, with friends, while playing at something. Of course, they can be much more than that: they can be educational; they can be challenging; they can be inspirational; they can be expressive; they can be…

Well, they can be a whole lot of cool things.

This Saturday is the annual Games Day at the Library, hosted at the Fredericton Public Library downtown on York Street. Julian Christie, a lifetime gamer, helps organize this day and regular games days at his own library in McAdam. He joined me today to talk games, fun and getting the whole family out to learn games they can play together.

The Lunchbox Interview: Misha Milchenko on Trans Day of Remembrance

LunchBox-TDORHuman beings are complicated. This is true in so many ways, but one of the ways that the world is coming to understand more and more is in the area of sexual identity. The binary concept of “male” and “female” has been inadequate to describe the full range of identities, not least of which because it combines internal, external, emotional, cultural and societal descriptions into a simple dichotomy.

My guest today is Misha Milchenko, past organizer of the Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), which occurs every November 20. It is an opportunity to recognize and remember victims of violence, oppression and anger around the world who were targeted because they identify themselves as transgender. It’s also an opportunity to challenge the language we use and the attitudes we hold, to become more inclusive and understanding. We discussed the unique issues, support and language of transgender identities, attempting to inform, instruct and correct the world.

Join them in front of Fredericton City Hall — or indeed, in many places across the world — as they hold a vigil and read the names of the victims. Bring your candle, wear something purple to show your support, and join in the remembering at 6pm on November 20.

The Lunchbox Interview: Sarah Beth Shiplet of Music On The Hill

LunchBox-SoundtrackToASilentFilmMovies have soundtracks.

It’s something we often take for granted these days, but as a soundtrack collector, I’m still immediately aware of the dramatic effect a good soundtrack can have — and the detrimental distraction a missing or bad soundtrack can create.

But once upon a time, moving pictures and music were just getting to know each other. Come experience what that might have been like on Wednesday evening at the latest Music on the Hill event, Live Soundtrack to a Silent Movie, as a group of musicians perform with the celebrated silent film, “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans”. That’s happening at Memorial Hall on November 19, at 7:30pm.

My guest today was the administrator of Music on the Hill, Sarah Beth Shiplet. We talked about the formation of this event, the challenges of performing music timed to a movie, and the experience of movies and music combined.

The Lunchbox Interview: Toni DaRussio, Filmmaker

LunchBox-ToniDaRussioThe world of films is the land of make believe.

At 20+ frames per second, we are shown the illusion of motion, tied to the accomplice of sound, and then transplanted into a story, sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for several hours.

Done well, and with the other willing accomplice — our own minds — the real world is replaced for a while, and we are treated to visions of other places, with stories that are not our own.

My guest today is like that: an illusion of reality, a story not my own, a suspension of disbelief, with reality as his message.

Toni DaRussio is a filmmaker. Of that, I am certain. The rest is..

Well, perhaps it is left to the imagination.

We talked about the making of his production company, (Dreamboat Pictures), his latest film (Mayhem Beach), featured at the Silver Wave Film Festival, and his vision of what making movies could be.
