Revolution Come and GoneLou Miami & the KozmetixIn this episode, we uncover the story of a little-known but influential new wave artist from 1980’s Boston; a Jayne Mansfield-obsessed eccentric with a thick Boston accent, a frontman who combined the weird charm of Pee-Wee Herman with the punk attitude of the New York Dolls; an impresario who made himself the star of his own DIY variety shows. We are talking, of course, about the great Lou Miami. We speak with Toby Ingalls (Lou Miami and the Kozmetix), Thalia Zedek (Come, Live Skull), and Clint Conley (Mission of Burma).Hosted by Dylan Metrano & Gregory Mo...

Revolution Come and GoneBoston pt. 3: On the Radio and In the Clubs / Billy RuaneFor part three in our Boston series, we take a look at the scene in its pre-internet era, when radio played a key role in exposing bands to new listeners, fanzines and flyers were legitimate marketing tools, and musicians were lining up to play the shadiest bars in town. Promoter Billy Ruane was a larger than life figure in the Boston music community. He was instantly recognizable as the man in the suit jacket with a drink in hand, dancing with reckless abandon at the front of the stage. Despite his chaotic appearance, Ruane was an integral...

Revolution Come and GoneBoston pt. 2: The Rat, Ed’s Redeeming QualitiesIn this episode, we revisit the glory days of The Rat, Boston’s answer to CBGB’s; and remember an unlikely fixture of the club, Ed’s Redeeming Qualities- a ragtag folk group of artists who were a true punk band, even though they may not have looked like or sounded the part. We speak with Toby Ingalls (Lou Miami and the Kozmetix, Magic 12), Jon Bernhardt (WMBR DJ), Tanya Donnely (Throwing Muses, Belly), Clint Conley (Mission of Burma), Claudia Gonsen (Magnetic Fields), Dana Hatch (Cheater Slicks), Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500, Luna), Guy Capecelatro III (Bob and Guy), Kurt Davis...

In this first episode in our examination of the Boston underground, we talk with proto-punk pioneer Clint Conley about the early days of Mission of Burma; we discover the alluring power of Peter Dayton and La Peste; and we speak to garage revivalist Dana Hatch about his long-running trio Cheater Slicks.

Sadler's LecturesPhilip Dick, Ubik - Coldness, Exhaustion, and Death - Sadler's LecturesThis lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik
It focuses specifically on the experience of bone-chilling cold, exhaustion and fatigue, and eventual death of a particularly gruesome sort that several of the characters experience once they are in cold-pac and in half-life. At first, they think that it is being caused by Pat Conley, who even thinks that to be the case herself, but it is actually the effect of Jory, a young man in half life, who is "eating" the other half-lifers. The main character, Joe...

It focuses specifically on the ambush that Ray Hollis engineers, using Stanton Mick's company, based on the moon, as a potential new client for Runciter Associates. Glen Runciter, Joe Chip, and a team of 11 inertials (anti-psionic talents) fly to the location. They are asked not to take readings, which Joe Chip does anyways, discovering that Mick is actually a bomb in human disguise. It turns out that there is a conspiracy that had been laid for quite a while...

It focuses specifically on the team of eleven "inertials," that is anti-psionic talents assembled by Glen Runciter to go to the lunar location of businessman Stanton Mick's company, and do a job eliminating the effects of various psionic talents, likely employed by Ray Hollis. The team includes 4 anti-precogs, 4 anti-telepaths, 1 anti-animator, 1 anti-psychokineticist, and the as yet not entirely understood talent of Pat Conley. Runciter and tester Joe Chip accompany them.

It focuses specifically on one of the characters who is seemingly minor early on in the novel, but who turns out to be a character of major importance within the plot. Jory Miller is a young man in half-life who "eats" other people in half-life in the moratorium, consuming their life-force, leaving them at the mercy of the cold of half-life. He turns out to be the primary antagonist of the story, consuming the person previously thought to be...

It focuses specifically on one important character we meet early on in the work, Pat Conley, who has a seemingly new psionic talent, the ability to go back and change the past, which then alters the present, allowing her to nullify the talents of precogs in a different way. She is brought to Joe Chip's apartment for testing of her abilities, and uses her talent when he first submits a report advising not to hire her and then a...

It focuses specifically on one of the most central characters of the novel, Joe Chip, who we get introduced to in chapter 3 and who features in every chapter of the novel subsequent to that. We discuss in particular his role as a "tester" of psionic and anti-psionic talents and fields, his assuming leadership over the Runciter organization after the ambush that leaves Glen Runciter seemingly dead, his interactions with Patricia Conley, Glen Runciter, Jory Miller, and Ella Runciter, and...

J.R. Bookwalter has been around the world of low budget cinema for close to twenty years now. He made his first film, the Romero-influenced The Dead Next Door in 1988 with funding that partially came from EVIL DEAD director Sam Raimi. That film is still seen by many as the best film Bookwalter directed. Unfortunately for Bookwalter, The Dead Next Door would not hit shelves until after his second film did; Robot Ninja. With a title like that, how can you go wrong? According to Bookwalter, making that movie, and several others similar to it, fo...
