We're talking about Fables and drop a few spoilers. Fables is a book we really like and we hope you'll pick it up. Then, we check out Astounding Wolf-Man. See if you should be reading it. We love Sergio Aragones, but do we love Bat Lash? We'll give you our thoughts. Then, in the speed round we talk about The Boys, New Warriors and more. And in our mailbag today, we talk about the dead superheroes that we think should be resurrected. Less

My friend Jon Vanderbrug and I stood on this bridge watching massive cranes load coal on one side of the river and huge dump trucks move loads of rock on the other. In the distance was an imposing railroad elevating bridge and the commuter-packed skyway. Suddenly behind us a bell began to ring and our bridge began to open to allow passage of a coal barge, driving the seagulls wild and sending us running for the bank. Less

For a conference on climate change and the Great Lakes, they took both industrial and environmental sounds from Calumet and other regions and “blended” them into a composition. The result is that we can “hear” the interaction of industry and nature, be reminded of how our actions affect nature (including air and climate) and through this awareness, take steps for positive change. Many of the sounds come from recordings Josh made during one day in March when I took him on a “sound tour” of Calumet. Being a rainy day, there wasn’t an enormous number of clear nature sounds, but you’ll be surprised at what we heard.” Less

Composed entirely of the sounds of an antique and misused record. This piece is an examination of the hiss underlying albums and a kind of exploration into why it is such a comforting sound to so many people. At different speeds and in different contexts, these background noises, which normally go unheard because of their ubiquity in the recording, take prominence in ‘Character’. As the tessitura and tempo of the music slow down, it is hoped that the listener will find something comforting in the humming narcosis- a retreat to the origin we all share. Less
