My award-winning film “The Atomic Bowl” started streaming on PBS.org and PBS apps last week and via Vimeo (you can easily watch it via links here), plus it is airing over many PBS stations. In addition, my previous film, “Atomic Cover-up,” is receiving free PBS showing here in its “short” (28 minutes) version. You can still subscribe to this newsletter for FREE. And there is now a companion e-book for “The Atomic Bowl” with the same title, more here or order.
Before we get to the fun stuff—music and cartoons—you might want to check out my “other” Substack today, on nuclear and related issues (been around ever since the “Oppenheimer” film two years ago), and today’s post on the unfathomable “Miss Atom Bomb” beauty pageant judged by U.S. Marines shortly after the A-bomb killed 75,000 or more there. You can subscribe to that newsletter for FREE, as well.
Okay we have not one but three brand new tunes from forthcoming albums today. First, Chrissie Hynde has a duets lp coming, here with Rufus Wainwright on “Always on My Mind.”
Next, Robert Plant joined by Saving Grace with a haunting update on “Gospel Plough.”
Finally, Neko Case visits “Winchester Mansion of Sound.” She’s also on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast this week, I think she has a memoir coming out, too.
From Tunes to Toons
I used to love Mike Lukovich cartoons in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution over 30 years ago! (He must have been teenager when he drew then) I really look forward to Cartoon Friday, with multiple cartoons to look at
Real pleasure. Thanks.
