Hip Tip: BBC radio-on-demand

To be a deejay in the U.S., you seemingly need to be a loud, blabbering moron who shills for advertisers and dutifully plays the same lame tunes on the play list day in and day out, knowing nothing, really, about music.

In Britain, on the other hand, you've got to be bright. You've got to be witty. You've got to know music, all sorts, intimately. And you've got to be a tastemaker.

Really, it's true. And if you wanna get a real sense of how badly Britain is kicking our butts in the deejay stakes, check out the BBC's superb radio-on-demand service.

Doesn't cost a thing. All you need is a reasonably fast Web connection and time to listen. The service allows you to selectively listen to any number of shows from across the Beeb's many different radio stations.

Sadly, the great John Peel--possibly the best deejay to ever sit behind a mic--is gone, but several talented folks are following in his traditional. Each has a unique style and plays his or her own blend of tunes. The common thread is a deep love of music, open ears and willingness to take chances playing music that isn't necessarily well-known or popular.

A few recommendations:

Andy Kershaw - A Peel comrade whose show emphasizes African and Arabic pop along with roots-oriented modern and vintage rock, blues, soul and country.

Mark Lamaar - who hosts a weekly, three-hour marathon blend of old-and-new rock, pop, gospel, reggae and deep soul and an alternative 60s show featuring stuff you'll never hear on a lame, U.S. oldies station: Loads of tasty soul, garage and psych tracks you've never, ever heard before but want to go out and buy immediately.

Late Junction - a nightly show that defines free-form. You'll hear pretty much anything: Classical chamber music followed by avant garde electronic pieces followed by 30s jazz and who knows what's next. Most of it's in a mellow mode, so it's good for listening to while working or drifting off to sleep (or both of the above).

Stuart Maconie - His Freak Zone is a must for those of us with eclectic record collections. Mostly he plays rock and pop, but also sometimes jazz, funk, what have you. The show also regularly explores niche areas such as French girl pop, exotica, early electronica, whatever.

Jazz File and Jazz Legends - Two shows provide info, and play music of, various jazz folks we all should know about.

Jazz on 3 - Which presents fresh jazz tracks and live performances.

I also regularly check out the on-demand site's roundup of music documentaries, comedy and entertainment shows. Lots of good stuff here, including "Doctor Who" radio dramas, "Goon Show" reruns and much, much more.

Give it a listen. I'm sure you'll find your own favorites.

Is a film based on DC Comics' Doom Patrol in the works? Variety says so.

...with Akiva Goldsman producing the bigscreen adaptation through his Warners-based Weed Road Pictures.
Studio has hired Adam Turner to pen the screenplay.

"These are some of the most original, offbeat comicbook characters we have ever come across, and Adam Turner's unique sensibility makes him a perfect fit for the material," Goldsman told Daily Variety.


-------------------------------

In other supermovie news:

Marvel Comics plans a new Hulk movie directed by Louis Leterrier, creator of "The Transporter" sci fi films. Sound like it'll be sort of a "do-over" with a new cast and take on the Green Goliath. Good idea, considering how horrid the first one was.

And "Hellboy" director Guillermo Del Toro is slated to do a film based on DC's Deadman. This is a natural as far as superhero flicks go. A ghost who inhabits other's bodies--the concept is very unusual, cool and full of possibilities.

------------------------------

By the way, here's a recent interview with comics scribe Arnold Drake who, Hollywood studios should not forget, co-created both the Doom Patrol (with artist Bruno Premiani) and Deadman (with artist Carmine Infantino).

It's never too early to start making a stink: Let's see Arnold get an on-screen credit and some cash when these movies roll out.

The stolen-but-recovered "Let it Be"-era Beatles tapes recently in the news may find their way to official release soon, says Apple Records honcho Neil Aspinall.

"These tapes have huge commercial value. They've got over 80 hours or more of sound footage on them of The Beatles recording and chatting about everything. There's lots of very unknown stuff and music on there that they wouldn't have recorded in a normal session. For example, they covered over 200 songs on these tapes, songs of the day such as Bob Dylan," the Daily Mail quoted him, as saying.

All this, of course, would be very exciting if we hadn't already heard a lot of stuff years ago on bootleg and know the majority of it to be pretty much godawful.

Pop Culture Roundup July 19, 2006

Rembering Mickey Spillane, Datajunkie shares a batch of Mike Hammer radio shows.

------------------------

Comics artist/writer Frank Miller will direct a film based on cartoonist Will Eisner's famed strip, "The Spirit," Reuters reports.

Production is slated to begin in about a year. Miller already is working on a draft but must first finish "Sin City 2," said Deborah Del Prete, whose Odd Lot Entertainment banner will co-finance and produce "The Spirit."

Let's hope the result pays homage to Eisner's original version and isn't just another tired "dark" Frank Miller take on things.

------------------------

Two great tastes that go great together:



------------------------

Peter Hawkins, the actor who gave terrifying voice to Doctor Who's Daleks died July 8, the BBC's official Doctor Who site reports.

For most fans of Doctor Who he was, with David Graham, the voice of the original Daleks, working on every Dalek serial of the 1960s as well as the two big-screen Dalek movies.

------------------------

In other Doctor Who news, composer Murray Gold's sountrack music from the latest seasons of the show will be available on CD soon.

------------------------

Most unfortunate album title ever? (Sorry, no sharity link for the music, but the album is set for reissue soon).



-------------------------

USA Today's Pop Candy recommends some "comics for people who don't read comics."

Datajunkie shares a buncha cool Grey Morrow-illustrated sci fi book covers from the Perry Rhodan series.

Mickey Spillane, golden age comics writer and creator of the hardboiled Mike Hammer novels, died yesterday.

Entertainment Weekly provides a cover peek at Dark Horse Comics' new "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" title. Featuring scripts by Joss Whedon, the series picks up were the TV show left off.



---------------------------

The Independent has a piece about the new documentary "The U.S. vs. John Lennon," which details the Nixon Administration's effort to boot the ex-Beatle out of the country.

The Lennon movie, which opens in US cinemas in September, will embarrass the agencies which unsuccessfully tried to block his stay. Not only does it portray the full extent of the plotting against him, it also exposes the amateurish incompetence with which it was conducted. At one stage, secret FBI files compiled to demonstrate the threat he represented did not even record his correct address, despite the claim that he had been under "constant surveillance".

Hip tip: ZBS Media radio shows

Jack Flanders. Either you know the name and are a rabid fan of the guy's exploits or you've never heard of him before.

Same with Ruby. You know, the galactic gumshoe?

When it comes to the audio adventure shows produced by ZBS Media, there's no real middle ground. People either don't know about 'em or they love 'em.

And what's not to love?

I heard the first Flanders series, "The Fourth Tower of Inverness," on college radio back in 1976 when I was in fourth grade and instantly loved the wild storylines mixing suspense, comedy and philosophy, the great performances and the incredible sound effects.

Flanders is a young American guy visiting an old family estate in Scotland. The mansion has three towers, but Jack sees a fourth. He's warned not to investigate but, inevitably, does. From there it's wild and weird explorations up stairs, through doorways and secret passages and into strange new dimensions.

Listening at night, with my headphones on and eyes closed, the series was an incredibly rich entertainment experience.

Fortunately, the station kept playing Flanders adventures over the years and I was able to keep up with our intrepid hero and his expeditions to Morocco ("Moon over Morocco"), alternate dimensions ("The Adventures of Jack Flanders") and Brazil ("Dreams of Rio").

And I got to hear the earliest exploits of ZBS' other popular hero, the Ruby, in her various series blending sci-fi with satire.

All great stuff, all like nothing you've ever experienced before.

The adventures of Ruby, Jack and the various one-off shows and series produced by ZBS over the years are nearly all the product of the imagination of one "Meatball Fulton," otherwise known as writer/engineer Tom Lopez.

Fulton's scripts carry the influence of comics, movies, pulps, eastern philosophy and much, much more, but reside in their own universe. Much like Joss Whedon has created a Buffyverse or Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had a Marvel Universe, this is a Meatball-verse. Things in this world move, and work, very much in their own fascinating and goofy way.

If you enjoy the stuff discussed here regularly (comics, pulps, movies, music, old-time radio, etc.), you're sure to like Fulton's stories. You owe it yourself to check 'em out.

The ZBS Web site has audio samples and downloads, or you can order the different series on CDs. Amazon has 'em too.

I see that Meatball now has a podcast, too. I'll need to check it out.
