Two episodes of "Radio, Radio" from Ubuweb. First, Jane Draycott & Elizabeth James have been collaborating on radio poetry projects for several years. Their work has been heard on the BBC and on stations and networks around the world. Draycott's latest collection Tideway (Two Rivers Press) is a collaboration with artist Peter Hay. A sound montage made during the writing of the book features in the Summer 2002 issue of Boomerang UK. James's poetry has been published by Vennel Press, Form Books and Writers Forum (the latest being Recognition, 1999). Her other collaborative projects include: Neither the One Nor the Other with Frances Presley and 'Two Renga' with Peter Manson. Then, John Oswald's 1989 CD Plunderphonics spawned a new category of music which samples not just pop songs, but their cultural contexts as well. Since then Oswald has refined his "electroquoting" on the CDs Greyfolded, Electrax, Discosphere, Plexure and the recently released Plunderphonics box set. In his Radio Radio program he talks about the legal machinations that have surrounded his work and plays a range of examples.
