Today I’m joined by singer-songwriter Tia Gostelow, on the eve of her new album release, to wax rhapsodic about the 2013 debut LP by friend of the show Melody Pool, ‘The Hurting Scene’. We unpack Melody’s wielding of emotional restraint to create tension, her unaffected skill as a vocalist, her literate lyrics, the emotional impact of songs like ‘Henry’, Tia’s history covering Melody’s songs and how she inspired her songwriting, why Tia makes me feel like an old man and I dig into the archives to revisit a classic conversation with Melody herself about the recording of the album.

Heavy metal band ZombieKing drops their latest EP, Dead to Life, via Pavement Entertainment. The EP was recorded and mixed at Hammer Forged Records in Corpus Christi, Texas, and mastered at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden by Jens Bogren. Produced by Robert Beltran, this EP is packed with unique music which takes influence from both traditional and contemporary heavy metal/rock. Vocalist Juan Manuel says, "Dead to Life can best be described as an addict finally hitting rock bottom. During the writing process, ZombieKing had to overcome multiple personnel changes, lost loved ones and family members to suicide/drugs/disease, and all while facing our own personal demons. Dead to Life captures our thoughts and emotions from the past few years, and uses them to spread a message of Hope, Faith, Perseverance, and Redemption." Dead to Life marks a major turning point for ZombieKing. Manuel says,"Much like the addict's realization, for the band, this is our new beginning. This is our 'only way to go is up' moment. This EP is ZombieKing bringing the dead to life." In addition to the new EP, ZombieKing premieres the music video for the single "Dead at the Scene." Ideas for the song dates back several years. Manuel explains, "In 2016, lead guitarist Eddie Salinas brought his bag of riffs to practice and showed the band what he felt would become part of the ZombieKing debut album." Loss propelled the band forward. Manuel adds, "It wasn't until the summer of 2017–following the deaths of rock legends Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington–that the band would return to those ideas and form what would eventually become the lead single from Dead to Life. Drawing inspiration from our fallen heroes, we then aspired to write about the tough and very personal topic of depression, and how it is possible to overcome." Manuel says, "The music video for 'Dead at the Scene' demonstrates the struggles that someone dealing with loss, depression, addiction, or anxieties may face on a daily basis." Hailing from Robstown, Texas, ZombieKing formed back in 2013. They have shared the stage with many established acts, including As Lions, Alien Ant Farm, Hawthorne Heights, and Powerman5000. The lineup consists of Juan Manuel (Vocalist), Eddie Salinas (Lead/Rhythm Guitar), Andrew Garza (Bass Guitar), and Cosme Williams (Drums).
Andy reflects on his time making ‘Briarpatch’ after the season finale aired this week (1:06).

We talk about that electric scene in the penultimate episode of ‘Better Call Saul’ (28:00) and give some immediate reactions to the first episode of ‘Mrs. America’ (38:33). Finally, Chris and Andy are joined by some of the cast from ‘Briarpatch’ (50:59). Hosts: Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald Guests: Rosario Dawson and Jay Ferguson

Tillerson: Trump's overseas trip signals 'America returning to the scene'
Theatre company 'Make a Scene' alongside the La Mama Learning Company are currently presenting their interpretation of Carlo Goldoni's masterpiece 'The Servant of Two Master's. It is showing at Australia La mama theatre in Carlton until July 31st. The cast includes Christian Bagin, Sharon Davis, Roby Favretto, Irene del Pilar, Freya Pragt, Lelda Kapsis and Darcy Kent. Many actors play both a primary and a secondary or extra character, and the lightning quick costume changes became just as fun as the play itself, as I tried to keep track of everybody, the frequent use of masks as props making this an even greater and more interesting challenge. Goldoni's 18th century play has been translated and directed by Rosa Campagnaro, who has studied in depth the nuances of commedia dell'arte, or the Italian tradition of comedic improvisation. While 'The Servant of Two Masters' is not necessarily part of commedia dell'arte canon, given that it is scripted in depth, in her version Rosa has encouraged her actors into acts of improvisation which in my opinion gel wonderfully with the feeling of the play and add exponentially to the wild silliness of the whole affair. For example, the night I attended (the 17th of June), Brighella the innkeeper began to recite a menu to the audience, but got his mains mixed up with his entree. Truffaldino the servant, who was sharing the stage, leapt in using his outrageously coy Italian accent, 'come on man, you're a professional. You can't even get this right? Let's start the scene again'. After a quick argument in character, Brighella walked off stage left and reappeared, completely composed, and the scene continued, this time getting the dishes in the correct order. I can't stress the fact that everyone is in their own roles perform excellently, and throughout the play every character made me laugh out loud with wordplay, physical slapstick comedy, hugely exaggerated ego's, excellently crafted accents and the obvious chemistry the exhibit in their on stage relationships with each other. For me, the pinnacle of the comedy in the play was Campagnaro's plotting and the actors execution of the famous dining scene, in which Truffaldino is simultaneously serving his two masters unbeknownst to the masters themselves. The direction was ambitiously high, demanding perfect timing, high energy and on the momentum of the scene. That is, if one performer drops the ball, the whole thing loses all its power, but, the quicker, louder and riskier the scene is, the more hilarious it can be. It was perfectly executed. The audience did not stop laughing for the full five minutes of the scene. While every performer in this play did a brilliant job, the star of the show was Christian Bagen as Trufaldino , the eccentric, rude, hilarious and endearing Servant. Bagen presented his character as he is meant to be, and stole the spotlight with perfect comedic timing, improvisation, maturity and charm. It is a light hearted, entertaining play as a whole. However Campagnaro has emphasised themes of sexuality and feminism in her version of the play, themes that are partially addressed in the original given a large part of the plot being devoted to a woman, dressed as a man, searching for her lost lover incognito, and the gender-based power she comes to control in her camouflage The themes have been drawn out gradually over the course of the play, and they include women's sexual libertarianism, the ridiculousness of gender stereotypes, and the sad cruelty of these stereotypes being enforced. Furthermore, the fact that so many of the antiquated social codes designed to oppress women are present in Goldoni's 18th Century play live on in our modern society is another well deserved and well calculated jab. So, Campagnaro's 'The Servant of Two Masters' champions the women and condemns the fact that their qualities and capabilities, their power, is negated by a social code that when broken by the women in the play, seems bizarre that it had ever existed. And yet, none of these characters are white-washed. Both the men and women of the play have very real, repulsive human flaws, which somehow makes them that much more sympathetic. And indeed, this play opens a discourse on feminism that is based largely in laughter - in the ridiculous, the silly, which can so often help us examine and access serious matters with an open mind. Once again, The Servant of Two Masters is running until the 31st of July, so not much time left. Head to lamama.com.au for more info and booking details. Written by Jim Thomas

'Behind the Scene' es una instalación en la que el artista presentará simulacros de vallas publicitarias en las que, a través de halógenos, se verán mensajes e imágenes formados por letras corpóreas, cuya interpretación se verá afectada por diversos agentes atmosféricos, accionados a través de un hardwarelibre denominado Arduino. Licenciado en Bellas Artes por la Universidad de Sevilla (1999), en la actualidad realiza el doctorado en el departamento de Escultura e Historia de las Artes Plásticas de esa misma universidad.
'Behind the Scene', proyecto ganador de la beca DKV Seguros-Álvarez Margaride en su tercera convocatoria. Se trata de una instalación en la que el artista presentará simulacros de vallas publicitarias en las que, a través de halógenos, se verán mensajes e imágenes formados por letras corpóreas, cuya interpretación se verá afectada por diversos agentes atmosféricos, accionados a través de un hardwarelibre denominado Arduino. La posibilidad de que estos mensajes se mezclen entre sí aleatoriamente, se oculten, o coincidan, pondrá de manifiesto la desconexión que se produce entre la idea primigenia del emisor con el entendimiento final del receptor.
'Behind the Scene', the winner project of the Production Grant DKV Seguros-Álvarez Margaride in its third edition. It is an installation where the artist will present simulations of advertising banners that, using halogen lights, will display messages and images made with bodily letters, whose interpretation will be affected by atmospheric agents, activated by means of a free hardware called Arduino. The possibility that these messages are mixed randomly, concealed, or match each other, will show the lack of connection between the original idea of the sender with the final message understood by the receiver.
