Strap in for a time capsule adventure, as Ted Ansani of Material Issue takes us back, on an episode thick with nostalgia. He recounts tales of how a couple of Columbia College Chicago music enthusiasts, and drummer Mike Zelenko, turned into a band that left an indelible mark on the power-pop landscape. We talk beginnings, the transition from drumsticks to bass strings, and the twists with Mercury Records. Ted's memories are a rare tour pass to the early '90s, offering an insider perspective on creating hits that outlasted their era.Reminisce and groove with us as we explore the quirks behind the making of anthems like "Valerie Loves Me" and "Diane," tracks that continue to resonate with fans across the globe. Ted's reflections on the documentary "Out of Time: The Material Issue Story" provide an unexpected depth, while we also celebrate the joy of fans shouting back the lyrics to "Very First Lie" at shows, a testament to Material Issue's enduring connection with their audience.Yet, the episode takes a poignant turn as we reflect on the band's struggle to navigate the grunge-dominated waters of the '90s music scene and the tragic loss of frontman Jim Ellison. The conversation highlights the resilience of Material Issue and the bittersweet moments that punctuated their journey. Through the highs of hearing their song "Renee Remains the Same" on the radio, to the lows of the industry's fickle nature, we honor the legacy of a band that, against all odds, captured the hearts of power-pop aficionados and left behind melodies that still echo in the hearts of listeners. Join us for a heartfelt tribute to Material Issue, a band that rocked hard and left us with a soundtrack for the ages.
Do you believe in Columbus style pizza? Jim Ellison, author of Columbus Pizza: A Slice of History and founder of the city's first pizza tour sure does!

Noel catches up with Ted Ansani, the bassist of the power pop group, Material Issue. The Chicago band formed in the mid 80's and had many songs featuring women's names in the title. like "Diane," "Valerie Love Me," and "Kim The Waitress," In 1996. the band's lead singer, Jim Ellison, committed suicide. In 2011, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their International Pop Overthrow album, the two surviving members, Ted and drummer Mike Zelenko, reformed the band under the name Material Reissue. The band is back in the spotlight now thanks to the new documentary, Out of Time: The Material Issue Story.
It's not like Material Issue is the most obscure or overlooked band in the history of Chicago music, but no matter how many power pop music fests get named after them (like the long running International Pop Overthrow festival — which takes its name from their classic debut album), they will always land towards the top of the list of the city's most underrated bands. And now there's a new documentary —“Out Of Time: The Material Issue Story”— that seeks to rectify that injustice. We talked to drummer Mike Zelenko about the love the band's been getting at the recent sold out Q&As for the movie, as well as his experiences recording in Scott's hometown at the Shoes studio, going to high school with Mike O'Connell, opening the Replacements' final show, Michael Chapman, tuna subs, fucking Enuff Z'nuff, the aftermath of Jim Ellison's suicide, and Ted Ansani's legendary pompadour.
Welcome back to the Rock 'n Roll Ghost Podcast. On this week's episode, the Ghost speaks with filmmaker Balin Schneider about his film (his first), Out of Time: The Material Issue Story, about the Chicago power-pop band Material Issue's career. Schneider, who is in his 20s, discusses how he “discovered” Material Issue and what led him to focus on the band for a short documentary for a film school project and how that snowballed into a feature length film. The Ghost and Schneider also focus on the emotional aspects of the film, particularly friends and family members' interviews concerning the suicide of the band's founder, lead singer, guitarist and lyricist Jim Ellison. Out of Time: The Material Issue Story is currently on a tour across America (check the link below for a list of cities and dates) and will makes it debut on video and streaming services later in 2023.

Thirty-seven years ago this week, I put on a bulletproof vest and entered a white-supremacist compound to try to convince the group they were outmanned and outgunned and should surrender. As I have reflected on that moment as well as the racial tension and civil unrest that have roiled our nation over the past two years, I have thought about the lessons we learn from our history. The people I confronted on April 21, 1985, were members of the Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord, known as the CSA, and one of their missions was to take down the United States government. Members of the CSA had sent out teams to assassinate several government officials, including me. On April 21, 1985, I was the United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, appointed three years earlier by President Ronald Reagan. For two years, my office had monitored the CSA in cooperation with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Missouri, as well as the FBI and the ATF. As we developed our strategy to flush out the CSA, we were well aware that the white supremacists had stockpiled high-powered weapons and weren't afraid to shoot law enforcement officers. Just a year earlier, CSA member Richard Snell shot and killed a black Arkansas State Trooper who had stopped him for a traffic violation. His name was Louis Bryant, and he was a true hero. We anticipated fierce resistance, so we brought over 200 law enforcement officers to the small town of Elijah, Missouri, many of them disguised as anglers in town to fish. I joined several other agents on the negotiating team. We persuaded Jim Ellison, the CSA founder who had purchased the land for the compound, that his best hope was to surrender. After three days of negotiations, all the men laid down their weapons, and the standoff ended without gunfire or bloodshed. That day also marked the end of the CSA. But it wasn't the death of the dangerously misguided belief that one race is superior to another. On the anniversary of that tense standoff with the white supremacists of the CSA, I understand there remains much work to be done to close the gaps among Americans of different races, religions, and beliefs. Ultimately, I am hopeful. Throughout history, people have often expressed their disagreement with violent language, and sometimes it goes further into actual violence, so this is nothing new. But I am optimistic because in America we learn from the mistakes of the past. Nearly forty years ago, I joined a band of hundreds of good people who linked arms to confront those who believed violence and racial hatred were the answer to their anger. Sometimes I fear we are not moving fast enough toward an America that is truly equal. But we are making progress as long as we listen to each other and care about each other. There will be more times when we must stand shoulder to shoulder against hate just as those federal and state agents did nearly forty years ago in western Arkansas. But Americans' bedrock belief that all men are created equal echoes in our founding documents and rises from our hearts as we continually travel toward that more perfect union.
Columbus was crowned the pizza capital of the USA in the 1990's. We'll take a look at Columbus' pizza history and take a gastronomic tour with pizza tour founder and author Jim Ellison.
Representative Mike Mueller's older sister was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) at four years old. Growing up with a sister having CF gave Rep. Mueller a lot of compassion for people living life with a health challenge, and impacted his life of public service. The two have a strong bond of love and understanding. It's a heartfelt story about the fear about what CF does to his sister, his fears, pushing through it. Rep. Mueller also is the co-author of the resolution to make May, CF Awareness month (Rep. Jim Ellison is the other). Rep. Mueller is also the co-author, (along with Rep. Care Clemente and Rep.Jim Ellison) for the Rare Disease Advisory Council.For more information on The Bonnell Foundation find us at https://thebonnellfoundation.org/Vertex Pharma - the science of possibility. https://www.vrtx.comTo contact Rep.

Spring football is over, the NFL Draft is over and it's time for something different. On this Buckeye Talk episode, Doug Lesmerises discusses the history of Columbus pizza with expert and author Jim Ellison, who just wrote the book, 'Columbus Pizza: A Slice of History.' Doug and Jim talk about the origins of Columbus pizza; how distinct is it as a style; why pepperoni is such an important part of the Columbus pizza experience; why the value of crust makes triangle pizza better; and WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE FOUR CRUSTLESS SQUARE SLICES at the center of a square cut pizza and is there someone on earth that actually enjoys them?But there's no fighting here. Just learning. No football on this one, but Jim Ellison will make this worth your time as a history, food and Ohio podcast episode, so give it a shot.Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.

State Representative Jim Ellison is a long time friend to the Bonnell Foundation and it's founder, Laura Bonnell. Bonnell and Rep. Ellison met when she was a news reporter at WWJ and would call on Rep. Ellison for a comment, or she caught up with him on the road. Bonnell told Rep. Ellison about her Foundation, and the reason she started it was because her girls had the disease. Rep. Ellison (and his wife Jodie) were all in, right away. Each year Rep. Ellison introduces a resolution to make May CF Awareness month.For more information on The Bonnell Foundation find us at https://thebonnellfoundation.org/Vertex Pharma - the science of possibility. https://www.vrtx.comTo reach Rep.

Bhopal Stiffs strikes close to my heart. They were the first band Screeching Weasel played with in Chicago, outside of our suburban homes. We played at a 21 and over club that was called Batteries Not Included. There was barely an audience there to see either bands but when Bhopal Stiffs got on stage their energy, music and commitment blew me away. They are first on my top two punk shows that I have ever seen. Interviews with band members: Larry Damore Steve Saylors Vince Marine David Schleitwiler Assistant Editing by: Jason Brow CORRECTIONS: 1. Jim Ellison from Material Issue passed away in 1996. 2. In the podcast I play an Effigies song when referring to Iain Burgess. I played Body Bag, but Iain didn't engineer and produce till later records: Fly On The Wire and Ink. 3.

Material Issue is one of my very favorite bands. It was a very sad day in 1996 when lead singer Jim Ellison took his own life. Such a tragic event for his family and friends. It put an instant end to a band with a very bright future. Now, 20 years later, their infamous "International Pop Overthrow" album is being re-released and there will be a full-on concert this weekend! You can catch Material Re-Issue this Saturday, April 23rd at the Abbey Pub in Chicago. Original bassist/vocalist Ted Ansani talks about how the band got together, what it was like to lose Jim, future prospects, and even the joys of album cover art...
