Published in 1901, The First Men in the Moon is one of the earliest science-fiction novels in the English language. An impecunious businessman, Bedford, retreats to the Kent coast where he meets the archetypal absent-minded scientist, Dr Cavor, who is on the point of producing a gravity-defying material. His experiments prove successful, making possible one of man’s oldest dreams: a journey to the moon. The two men embark on this fantastic voyage – Bedford motivated by the prospect of wealth, and Cavor by the thirst for knowledge. However, when they arrive, they find a world of freezing nights and sweltering days, and signs of a threatening alien presence, from which they may never escape.

The novel invites obvious comparisons with its predecessor, Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon, though Wells’s approach markedly differs from that of his French counterpart, with Wells being more concerned by the adventure on the moon, even at the expense of scientific plausibility.

H.G. Wells – The First Men in the Moon (sample)

Coming to you from multiple dimensions, it's 4D MAN (Yeaworth 1959)! From the creative team behind 1958's THE BLOB, the film stars Robert Lansing, Lee Meriwether and James Congdon.

But will this just be another case of sci fi masquerading as horror?

Episode 286 - Cat on a Horror Tin Roof

Vocals from a story by HG Wells under a classical track with steady percussion.

The Garden

Well, it's been a while. The kids and the job and the yada yada. I gave myself a challenge to get something out by Halloween. I drew a a card from Eno's Oblique Strategy deck and it told me to indulge my worst tendencies. So kitschy and overproduced it is. I present Lady Gaga and Freddie Mercury starring in a Halloween radio play of David Bowie's Space Oddity.

Peace in the middle east and love,
Adam

Invasion

De pronto estalló el pánico en Nueva Jersey. A la gente le temblaban las piernas, y gritaba. Mujeres se desmayaban, y hombres se echaban a las calle esa noche, según dice el New York Times. Las líneas de teléfono estaban colapsadas, y a las dos horas la Cruz Roja y la Guardia Nacional se movilizaba en muchas zonas del este de Estados Unidos. Todo esto ocurrió el 30 de octubre de 1938, a causa de una emisión por radio que hizo Orson Welles en un teatro de Nueva York, dando la impresión que los marcianos estaban invadiendo en la Tierra. 

Bajo la forma y lenguaje de un informativo, los actores de la CBS, convertidos en locutores de noticias, anunciaron la llegada de una avalancha de platillos volantes, con conexiones a hipotéticas unidades móviles que narraban el aterrizaje de las naves y describían a aquellos temibles extraterrestres. Se calcula que casi dos millones de oyentes creyeron que la invasión era cierta,  El texto dramatizado por Howard Koch estaba basado en la novela clásica de ciencia-ficción, La guerra de los mundos (1898) de H. G. Wells (1866-1946).

En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del programa de Welles y el libro de Wells, leído por Eugenio Barona. Oímos algunas reacciones a la emisión de Welles, así como diálogos de escenas de las películas sobre el libro de Byron Haskin en 1953 y Steven Spielberg en 2005. La música es de la banda sonora original de John Williams para el film de Spielberg y las composiciones inspiradas en esta obra de Jack Hallam y Jeff Wayne. La narración es de José de Segovia y el sonido de Daniel Panduro.

Hi welcome to my music journey 🥳
New songs on the 4th of every month!

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.
