Today we have something lost, something gained, and something re-imagined. 

At the Shea Theater this weekend, a kaiju classic is getting a sonic overhaul as Cinemastorm presents an extra special screening of Noriaki Yuasa’s “Gamera vs. Guiron,” accompanied by a live soundtrack by local composer Galen Huckins and live foley by Jonathan Greber of Skywalker Sound. We talk with each of them, as well as the cast, musicians, and other performers involved in the production.  

A pair familiar to the 617 will soon find a place within the 413 as Boston Public Radio begins airing here on NEPM. We chat with hosts Jim Braude and Margery Eagan about what the eastern shores can bring to the west, and see what they know about the 4 counties of western Massachusetts. 

And many of us were shocked by the death of singer-songwriter/playwright/activist Jill Sobule earlier this month in a house fire. A series of tribute shows in the dates and locations she would have performed on her latest tour have been planned by her friends and colleagues coming together to fill those bills themselves. The first of these happens Saturday, May 31st at the Iron Horse in Northampton. For Live Music Friday we hear some of Jill’s songs and discuss her legacy with the host of the 413’s contribution to Jillith Fair: Erin McKeown.
