It begins: "I tried to speak from the Havana of the mind and found myself an impossible refugee in the anachronistic wastelands of Passaic New Jersey, a place in a book where I have not been physically either. But that is precisely the matter because despite all of one's efforts it seems that one always writes this from where one is not, a place in the almost more than maybe, at a distance a glass thick from the here and definitely one duration in anticipation of the now. For convenience, let's pretend this is proper English. And yet, later on I might need to say what time it is in our program. By the way, did I forget to say good evening, dear listeners?"

More revelations about the surveillance carried out by the US government show that authorities have used information gathered through tools for monitoring national security threats in order to bring criminal charges against US citizens. Documents obtained by Reuters say agents with the Drug Enforcement Agency’s Special Operations Division were ordered to hide where that information came from when they used it to arrest people on drug charges and try them in court. As lawmakers and activists demand more information about this and other ways the government monitors people domestically and internationally, the Pentagon will begin an audit this week to determine whether it keeps too much data classified. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports.

Stingers are short, interstitial sound files, in this case assembled in an hour-long collage.

Weekly international radio and media news show.

Dan Seward and the "Battlefield Earth" program transmits live from Wave Farm in Acra, NY.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "On- and offline, women across the globe regularly contend with sexism, misogyny and threats of violence. Bomb threats made via Twitter to a number of female journalists and historian Mary Beard prompted a protest over the weekend. Some boycotted the social media site, others used the hashtag #twittersilence, to pressure Twitter executives to deal with the issue. Another high profile target was this year’s women’s Wimbledon champion, Marion Bartoli. The French tennis star, only the 6th female to win the tournament without dropping a set, faced a barrage of sexist, even violent vitriol on twitter. And countless other women, from teens to technology experts to activists experience hostility, sexism and ignorance on the web. But over the past year women have been using social media to fight back. FSRN’s Cinnamon Nippard has more from Berlin."

Dan Seward may stick around Wave Farm after his "Battlefield Earth" program for a little radio stew.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "In the sentencing phase of the court martial for Army Private Bradley Manning, the military judge has granted two motions filed by Manning’s lawyer, which brings the maximum possible sentence down from 136 years to 90 years. The judge denied several other motions to combine charges, which could have further reduced the number of years Manning could spend in prison. He was convicted of multiple offenses last month in connection with leaking military and government documents to Wikileaks. As the hearing continues today, legal experts and advocates are preparing to appeal what is likely to be a lengthy sentence, arguing that Manning’s constitutional rights were violated, and the government has failed to prove the leaked material damaged the US. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."

From "Free Speech Radio News": "New details have emerged showing government surveillance of US citizens and foreign nationals to be even broader than previously known. According to anonymous intelligence officials who spoke to the New York Times, the government is searching most of the e-mail and text communications both entering and leaving the US. That includes not only monitoring those who talk to suspicious persons abroad, but also those who talk about them. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports."

Pitchfork says… “There’s been no shortage of endearingly sloppy, blues-inflected garage rock in recent years, but Brattleboro, Vt.’s Happy Jawbone Family Band uses the template to create its own mythical world. Since 2009, the band has remained blissfully off-grid, recording hundreds of songs over several tapes and full-lengths for similarly homegrown labels like Spooky Town Artifacts, Feeding Tube, and Night People, which makes their next release feel like a move into the spotlight: it’s being recorded with Jarvis Taverniere of Woods, and is set for release on Mexican Summer later this year. For context, the label is prepping for the forthcoming LP with this retrospective compilation, which might seem premature if the songs weren’t so strong.”

From Free Speech Radio News: "For more than a decade, incarcerated people and their families have petitioned the Federal Communication Commission to regulate the soaring cost of prison phone rates, which can be as high as a dollar a minute. They say the exclusive contracts states make with telecommunications companies put too heavy a burden on low-income families that can’t afford to visit a loved one in person. Today, following a two to one vote to lower and cap the phone rates, the chair of the FCC declared: “Their wait is finally over.” In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports."

After the Weekly Presidential Radio Address and Republican Response, ar report from "Democracy Now!" on the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act. Plus Dan Seward on the Hudson Music Festival, local news, weather, and more. From "Democracy Now!": "Many cable companies refuse to list the titles of shows that air on public access television stations in their on-screen guides. Now media activists are pushing for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to intervene. In 2010, President Obama signed into law the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA), which aims to make modern digital media platforms fully accessible to people who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or with low vision. The CVAA will be implemented largely through rules drafted and enforced by the FCC, a regulatory body that is widely criticized as being too close to the industries it is supposed to regulate. Today we look at how the FCC is implementing two sections of the CVAA. Sections 204 and 205 of the law specify that video service and equipment providers make it easier for users to turn on closed captioning, and also require that on-screen channel guides be presented in a way that allows for the text on the screen to be audio interpreted, so that people who are blind or have low vision, can hear the program descriptions. For years now, established cable companies, along with new video service providers like AT&T and Verizon, have been downgrading the capacity of PEG TV channels, including the elimination of detailed, on-screen program descriptions from these noncommercial, community media institutions, effectively marginalizing the channels and the content they provide. We speak with Mitsuko Herrera, a member of the Federal Communications Commission’s Consumer Advisory Committee."

From Wikipedia: "George Duke (January 12, 1946 – August 5, 2013) was an American musician, known as a keyboard pioneer, composer, singer and producer in both jazz and popular mainstream musical genres. He had worked with numerous acclaimed artists as arranger, music director, writer and co-writer, record producer and professor of music. He first made a name for himself with the album The Jean-Luc Ponty Experience with the George Duke Trio. He was known primarily for thirty-odd solo albums as well as for his collaborations with other musicians, particularly Frank Zappa."

Arnold Dreyblatt, "Nodal Excitation" recorded live at Issue Project Room Sept. 2012. Arnold Dreyblatt’s notes on this solo work for his amplified "excited strings" acoustic bass: In the spring of 1979, I was approached to perform at a downtown performance festival in New York. I had been developing a repertoire of isolated percussive and bowed attacks, and these evolved into a continuous rhythmic technique in which I could excite chords of overtones above the fundamental. The performance considers the location and influence of the acoustic Nodal Regions as identified on #12 and #11 unwound music wire stretched on an acoustic double bass body (40.5" speaking length). The integrity of a fundamental vibration is maintained for both strings at all times; all movement of pitch occurs in the overtone structure. A shorter speaking length is never created through "stopping" or "fretting" techniques. Rather, harmonic, partial vibrations are calculated, coaxed, and are occasionally isolated at the nodes of the string. Arnold Dreyblatt (born in New York City, 1953) is a composer, performer and visual artist. He studied music with Pauline Oliveros, La Monte Young, and Alvin Lucier and has been based in Berlin, Germany since 1984. Among the second generation of New York minimal composers, Dreyblatt developed a unique approach to composition and music performance. As he began his music in the late 1970's in New York, he invented a set of new and original instruments, performance techniques, and system of tuning and in addition has formed and led numerous ensembles under the title The Orchestra of Excited Strings. In 2007, he was elected to the German Academy of Art (Akademie der Künste, Berlin). He is currently Professor for Media Art at the Muthesius Academy of Art and Design in Kiel. Dreyblatt has been composing music for his own and other ensembles for over thirty years. Often characterized as the most rock-oriented of American minimalists, Dreyblatt has cultivated a strong underground fan base for his transcendental and ecstatic music with his Orchestra of Excited Strings. Dreyblatt's music has been released on such leading avante-garde labels as: Table of the Elements, Tzadik, Hat Art and Cantaloupe and his music has been performed by Jim O'Rourke, Kevin Drumm, David Grubbs, Jason Kahn, Bang On A Can All-Stars, Pellegrini Quartet, Crash Ensemble and countless others.

discussion on psychotronic weapons, stalking and mind control with returning guest Dr. John Hall, author of the book A New Breed: Satellite Terrorism in America. Dr. Hall is an anethesiologist and will be coming out with new book soon titled Guinea Pigs: Technology of Control. The book details the non-consensual experimentation ongoing in the United States and abroad using electromagnetic technology designed to control the human organism. We've covered in depth similar topics on this show with guests such as Amy Worthington, Don Croft, and Dr. Konstantin Korotkov. These guests have pointed out the vulnerability of microwave radiation on the human body, for example, Amy Worthington pointed out that 24 hours of cell phone use = 1600 chest X-rays, wireless radiation opens blood/brain barrier, easy access for barium and aluminum, the Russian government has warned pregnant mothers not to use cell phones, Dr. Korotkov mentioned that in Russia its forbidden to have school, farms, buildings under high intensity electrical wires. Our guest Dr. Hall also explains the adverse physiological effects from electromagnetic beam targeting and that there is a constant breach in the private domain of human consciousness from wireless technology. Hosted by Geoff Brady.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "Internet titan Google says G-mail and Google Apps users have no reasonable expectation of privacy. This argument comes within a motion to dismiss lawsuits brought against it by users alleging privacy violations. The company says users consent in the Terms of Service to automated scanning of email in exchange for use of Gmail. The 39-page legal argument by the company's attorneys also states federal law allows providers to "lawfully receive and access electronic communications involving their users." Google argues it is also protected against the legal arguments of non-users who communicate with Gmail users because "Under federal law, the consent of a single party to a communication is complete defense to any liability and so the consent of the Gmail user alone is sufficient to bar a claim." Two plaintiffs argue they were pressured into accepting Gmail's terms in order to receive official email associated with their university, which had contracted services via Google Apps. According to Google, Gmail has over 400 million users worldwide.

News mash-up show with host Paul Fischer. With a possible government shutdown just weeks away, more spending slashes from the sequester, and another debt default threat not that far down the road...Ted Cruz and Company are pushing to eliminate Obamacare funding from the budget...a move that will only deepen the rift and prevent any compromise. And then, there's the sideshow over the Hillary movies...and the GOP... and did someone say Mitch McConnell? From Pacifica Radio.

From "Democracy Now!": "Lavabit, an encrypted email service believed to have been used by National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, has abruptly shut down. The move came amidst a legal fight that appeared to involve U.S. government attempts to win access to customer information. In a Democracy Now! broadcast exclusive, we are joined by Lavabit owner Ladar Levison and his lawyer, Jesse Binnall. "Unfortunately, I can’t talk about it. I would like to, believe me," Levison says. "I think if the American public knew what our government was doing, they wouldn’t be allowed to do it anymore." In a message to his customers last week, Levison said: "I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people, or walk away from nearly 10 years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit."

From "Free Speech Radio News": "Officials in the UK and Brazil are demanding answers after British police detained journalist Glen Greenwald's partner at Heathrow Airport yesterday, under the provision of an anti-terrorism law. David Miranda was traveling from Germany back home to Brazil after meeting with Greenwald's colleague, Laura Poitras. Greenwald and Poitras are most recently known for coverage of massive US and UK spying after intelligence contractor Edward Snowden provided them with thousands of secret documents from the National Security Agency. After numerous questions on the topic were lobbed at U.S. Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest today, he acknowledged that U.S. authorities were aware of the UK plan to stop Miranda. “There was a heads up that was provided by the British government. So again, this is something we had an indication was likely to occur. But it's not something that we requested, and it's something that was done specifically by the British law enforcement officials there.” Schedule 7 of the UK's Terrorism Act grants police broad powers to search and detain individuals for no more than nine hours. All of Miranda's electronics were confiscated and he was released, after eight hours and 55 minutes.

"Jolene," from Dolly Parton, kicks off a list of slowed-down songs, such as The White Stripes' "Hello Operator."

On Aug. 21, 2013, the Nixon Library at the National Archives just released the last 340 hours of the infamous White House tapes recorded by then-President Richard Nixon, whose estate lost a three-year court battle to have the them destroyed. The new tapes’ 2,905 conversations aren’t yet transcribed. Here's a taste.

"Radio Net" (described below), and other compositions.

Works from Pierre Boulez, Pierre Henry, Pierre Schaeffer, and other Pierres.

Dziga Vertov's (1896-1954) "Enthusiasm! The Dombass Symphony (1930)." Original soundtrack excerpts, recorded in 1929-30, 26'30". Written and directed (composed): Dziga Vertov; Sound: P. Shtro; Sound-Recording Station: Timartsev, Chibisov, Khariyonov & Molchanov; Recorded: Shorin System; Additional Music: Donbassa March by Timofeyev; Produced: Ukrainfilm Kiev Film Studio, 1930.Extracts taken from the DVD Entuziazm (Sinfonia Donbassa), Osterreichisches Filmmuseum 2005 via Ubuweb. "Enthusiasm! The Dombass Symphony" (1930) is possibly Dziga Vertov's most revolutionary achievement: a symphony of abstract industrial noise for which a specially designed giant mobile recording system was constructed (it weighed over a ton) in order to capture the din of mines, furnaces and factories. For Vertov, the introduction of sound film didn't mean talkies, but the opportunity to collage, montage and splice together constructions of pure environmental noise. Denis Arkadievitch Kaufman (b. Bialyskov, Poland 1986 - d. Moscow 1954) adopted the name Dziga Vertov as an adolescent; a futurist pseudonym loosely translated as "spinning top". He studied piano, violin and psychoneurology, at the same time writing poetry and recording natural sounds with a phonograph for his Laboratory of Hearing (1916). By 1918, he had begun to work w ith cinema and - with his future wife Elisaveta Svilova - created the group Kinoks [Kino-Eye]. Concentrating on documentary films, they championed "what the eye doesn't see" . Between 1925 and 1929, he developed the idea of Radio-Pravda [Radio-Truth] and Radio-Ear (from "I hear").

From "Free Speech Radio News: "NSA leaker Edward Snowden is accusing the British government of intentionally releasing highly-sensitive information to a UK newspaper in order to bolster claims that Snowden’s work with the press is causing harm. The Independent published a story this morning disclosing the existence of a “secret internet-monitoring station in the Middle East.” The paper cites their source as Snowden’s leaked documents. But Snowden says he has never worked with The Independent. In the Guardian newspaper, Glenn Greenwald, the journalist Snowden has been working with, published Snowden’s response and a response of his own. Greenwald wrote the information published in The Independent is “the type of disclosure which journalists working directly with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have thus far avoided.”"

Breaking at least three international agreements that ban spying at the United Nations, the NSA also broke into the UN’s internal video meeting network and stationed undercover agent there cloaked as diplomats. And operatives are also disguised as diplomats in 80 embassies and consulates worldwide. Contrary to recent remarks by President Obama that U.S. spying is solely intended to combat terrorism, Der Speigel reports that intelligence agents are targeting information related to economic stability, trade policy, energy security and food products."

"Free Speech Radio News" reports: "Secret government documents leaked by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden and published by the Washington Post this week have shed light on which agencies get what share of a more than $50 billion annual budget that so far lacked public oversight. The documents show how much taxpayer money is given to tech companies for handing over private data about their users and that thousand of government employees work on circumventing encryption. Legal experts and transparency advocates say the government needs to release much more information so the public can have an informed debate on which programs deserve how much taxpayer money.

From Wikipedia: "Richard Dorian "Dickie" Goodman (April 19, 1934 – November 6, 1989) was an American music and record producer born in Brooklyn, New York. He is best known for inventing and using the technique of the "break-in", an early precursor to sampling, that used brief clips of popular records and songs to "answer" comedic questions posed by voice actors on his novelty records.... In June 1956 Goodman created his first record, "The Flying Saucer Parts 1 & II," which he co-wrote with his partner Bill Buchanan, and featured a four-minute rewriting of Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds radio show. This recording was the subject of a copyright infringement case against Goodman. The lawsuit was settled out of court. "The Flying Saucer" was officially released under the artist name "Buchanan and Goodman" and was Goodman's highest-charting single on Billboard, peaking at #3. Buchanan and Goodman followed up with four other records: "Buchanan and Goodman on Trial" (#80 in 1956), "Flying Saucer The 2nd" (#18 in 1957), "The Creature (From A Science Fiction Movie)" (as by Buchanan and Ancell) (#85 in 1957), and "Santa and the Satellite (Parts I & II)" (#32 in 1957)." The trial song was about the legal wrangling over their use of popular songs in other songs,

Radia Show 439: Yaris AM 153, 225 and 1611 by Cedric Stevens and Vidar Martens producing show for Radio Nova, in Oslo, Norway. "Radia" is an international network of radio stations interested in creative and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week, one station makes a show for all the rest, including Wave Farm's WGXC. This week: "What you hear is a field recording taken from the inside of a Toyota Yaris, driving through the city centre of Oslo in 2010. The radio is being changed between the different AM frequencies 153, 225 and 1611 at a high volume. Since AM frequencies is poorly supported in Norway, the Yaris pick up mainly electromagnetic signals from the surroundings like the tram, hospital or its own engine, instead of ordinary radio transmission from radio broadcasts. The Toyota Yaris works like a vehicle for translating nonperseptive surroundings to sound, as well as transporting passangers. This creates an exploratory AM soundscape of central Oslo."

Whether the subject is impeachment, Canadian citizenship or the role of carbon dioxide in climate change...some of the latest comments from members of Congress are so amazingly uninformed, you really need to hear them in their full versions and in context.

Sam Sebren, producer/creator of the NIRRH, recently asked a question to 36 people in NY's rural, Greene and Columbia counties: "Do you think capitalism is working? Why or why not? Or, if you would like to decline to answer, please state why." The anonymous assortment of friends, acquaintances, and strangers on the street were recorded on the spot, with no clue ahead as to what they were about to be asked. Workers, small business owners, retired people, and others of all ages from across the political, ethnic, and economic spectrum gave their spontaneous reply. None of their answers were edited (except in 2 cases to remove identifying info for anonymity and in one instance by request). All answers are heard here in the order they were recorded. There is no post-recording arrangement or grouping of viewpoints. Hear for yourself from a variety of everyday people - is there any consensus? As a line from the Gang of Four song, "Capital (It Fails Us Now)" says, "one day old and I'm living on credit." Few of us are economists, yet we are all born into a turbulent economic system we are expected to navigate as if it is completely natural. Through this random survey, Sebren attempts to find out how deeply "capitalism" is, or is not, on our minds. We will also hear about the Yes Men's prank on the Chamber of Commerce and some insights on daily consumer culture from comedian Tom Simmons, plus music from Pink Floyd and Suicide.

Hurricane Irene barreled down on the Catskills Aug. 27, 2011 only as a Tropical Storm, but still packed a wallop, With ground saturated from weeks of rain, as much as 20" of rain fell overnight and into Sunday, Aug. 28, and a flood nearly wiped the town of Prattsville off the map. Other floods came through Hunter, Windham, and other areas in Greene, Schoharie, Delaware, Ulster, and other counties in central New York. Only a few people died, but many faced death, and more faced enormous losses. A few days later, Tropical Storm Lee inflicted more damage.

WGXC will cover the second anniversary of the floods in a series of special reports, interviews, features, live events, and other programming. Tune in to WGXC for a recounting of what happened and what will happen next time. We will detail how the community recovered, and worked together in new ways.

Shows include:
"The Storm Breaks"
WGXC recounts its pre-storm interview with Greene County Emergency Services director John Farrell, and replay station recordings as the first rain fell Sat., Aug. 27, 2011, until WGXC lost power early Sun., Aug. 28, 2011.

"The Water Recedes"
Paul Smart drives around the area immediately after the storm, and one year later, with a report on the differences. WGXC will also replay other reports in the first days after the storm, including rumors that the Gilboa Dam was going to open, fake charity scams, and an quick network of individuals and groups banding together to help their neighbors. Dharma Dailey talks to the folks behind "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" that formed out of the storm's aftermath. We will interview many other local residents one year later.

"The Watershed Post"
Dharma Dailey interviews the folks behind the most important source of news during the storm's immediate aftermath, the blod "The Watershed Post." WGXC will also replay parts of their live radio show after the storm with Gov. Andrew Cuomo jumping in during the show.

"Between the Lines"
Ann Forbes Cooper talks with Professor Robert Titus, known as the "Catskill Geologist," and Carolyn Bennett, historian of the Zadock Pratt Museum in Prattsville and Larry Gambon, a photographer who shot extensive footage of the damage done by the Hurricane Irene, about Prattsville one year on.

"Prattsville Remembers Irene" Jess Puglisi and Lynn Sloneker talk with residents of Prattsville and Lexington about their experience during the flooding that resulted from Hurricane Irene that obliterated much of their town, along with observations about the first year of recovery. Prattsville, a town of seven-hundred situated at the junction of the Batavia Kill and the Schoharie Creek, was left in ruins after both bodies of water flooded with unanticipated speed and force. Residents interviewed include Beth and Donald Ballard, Michelle Petricini, Frank Hagan, David Murphy, Ronald Jones, Kaitlynn Cross, Melinda Sokoll, and Lynn Byrne.

The Art of Mudfest Two years later, Jess Puglisi talks with two Prattsville art centers helping the town recover.

Special Labor Day edition. "On Capitol Hill, elected officials have long supported big agricultural and industrial-scale farming that requires massive inputs of chemicals and fossil fuels. But can this system continue to feed the population of a warming planet? Just a few miles up the road from where lawmakers set far-reaching policy, some DC residents are organizing to create something different. FSRN’s Alice Ollstein takes us to a farm called Three Part Harmony, where we explore what urban, organic agriculture could do both for a community and the environment they live in, and how US policy could better support it. This documentary was produced by Alice Ollstein and edited by Shannon Young. Our technical producer at KPFA is Jeannine Etter. The original music in this documentary was performed by Owen Grooms, a young farmer in North Carolina."

J. Marvin Herndon is a geophysicist who came up with the radical theory about the Earth's core and its relationship to the Earth's magnetic field. The shield that protects our planet's animal and plant life from the sun's radiation. Dr. Herndon published the feature article in the wonderful Dot Connector magazine. The article is titled The Corruption of Science, and relays disturbing evidence of how the National Science Foundation and other institutional structures have created an oppressed environment for scientists effecting the free exchange of ideas. The article examines how to rid the scientific field in the United States of charlatans, science barbarians and create an environment how the truth can flourish and scientists can work freely without fear of retribution or denouncment for challenging ideas or failing to adopt the politically correct consensus-approved storyline.

From "Free Speech Radio news": "In the midst of increasing consolidation of big media, there’s a new chance for local communities to bring their voices to the air. This October, the Federal Communications Commission will begin accepting applications from around the country for local non-profits, schools, unions, First Nation tribes, religious groups and public safety organizations to own and operate their own low-powered radio stations. Media justice advocates say this unprecedented expansion of community radio will be a major step in addressing the consolidation of media and the lack of diversity in station ownership, and could give local artists and activists a place on the dial. In Washington, D.C., FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports."

From "Free Speech Radio News": "The US government regularly breaks through the encryption software that protects the e-mails, chats, cell phone calls, bank statements, medical records and web searches of Internet users in the US and around the world – and spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year to do so. That’s according to classified government documents leaked by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden and published this week by the New York Times, ProPublica and the Guardian. Tech experts and civil liberties advocates say the agencies are prioritizing their own surveillance powers over the security of US networks. In Washington, DC, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."

Radia Show 440: Hedging the Future by IG sterben for Radio Helsinki (Graz, AT). "Radia" is an international network of 23 radio stations interested in new and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week, one station organizes a show for all the others. This week: "In 2012 I – Max Höfler – bought some guns for an Austrian art association called Forum Stadtpark. The purchase of these guns established a situation that focuses on the most abstract entity we do have in our today society and that concerns us all: Money and all these financial issues that are considered as the basic structure of our society. To experience this abstract relation between us and the finance I transformed it into a concrete situation. To understand the situation which I wanted to establish with this purchase, you have to know three things: 1.) The Forum Stadtpark spent a lot of money for these rifles: 10.000€. 2.) These guns still work. That means that you can still use them and that they had been already used before. 3.) The value of these rifles will rise because they aren’t produced any longer and they are rare. So they are some kind of a financial investment for the Forum Stadtpark as well. After I bought these guns, I put them into a vitrine in the foyer of the Forum Stadtpark where they still are as an sort of permanent virulent inventory that questions how we can get out of this paradoxical situation. Now in 2013 three artist – Andreas Heller, Johannes Schrettle and me (Max Höfler) – want to transform this situation into a new form: into some sort of a performance called “IG Sterben”. This performance is subtitled as a musical. Andreas Heller will act as nature in a wheelchair, Johannes Schrettle as love in a jogging suit and me as immanent danger. Furthermore we will form a no band band called “IG Sterben”. Our first rehearsal will be directly at the performance. In this radia show you will get an insight of this transformational process and you will somehow get to know, what all these things may have in common." http://zukunftssicherung.weblog.mur.at/ http://forum.mur.at/

During her residency Contant will further develop a performance for radio based on research about transmission during The Weimar Republic. This research was compiled in her Master’s thesis, which received The Distinguished Thesis Award from The New School’s Media Studies Department in 2012. Over 90 pages of historical, technical, and theoretical writing addresses a lacuna in media scholarship about the importance of this radio epoch. However, in its academic form, Contant realizes that her research remains limited to a small, rather specific community. A public performance and archival documentation of her proposed performance, makes Contant’s research accessible to a wider public audience.

Advocates for low-power window are trying to get a second window to allow more non-profit groups to apply for stations. Experts say that is not likely.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "In Washington D.C. today, a federal appeals court heard a major challenge to the Federal Communications Commission’s three-year-old Open Internet Rule. The internet provider Verizon asked the court to toss out the rule entirely, saying it should have the right not only to charge websites for better and faster service, it should be able to block some content entirely. Both the FCC and public interest groups intervening in the case warned that this would encourage corporate censorship and favoritism, and stifle free speech and competition online. FSRN’s Alice Ollstein was in the courtroom Sept. 9. 2013 and brings us this report."

Get suited up and be sure you follow all the anti-contamination HazMat protocols, because tonight we're going to be wading up to our eyeballs in killer microorganisms! Hell, it might be a good idea to coat yourself in Bag Balm before sliding into your moonsuit. Because yes, it's a special crossover episode of "Bob's Slacktime Funhouse." Through the scurrilous magic of Recombinant Comedy™, I team up with the less-than-willing Doktors of the Lymph Node Institute in a race against a pandemic that's wiping out all life on earth...but wait--! Is it possible that Doc Ellis and Doktor Bugbladder are actually the source of the deadly virus? Or is it merely a coincidence that the Institute is full hundreds of psychotic, infected lab monkeys? And yes, there are NO musical numbers by Anthrax in it.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "In the latest revelations about US government spying, the NSA has the capacity to hack into smartphones, accessing vast amounts of data including call logs, contact lists, text messages and geolocation information. That’s according to Laura Poitras, who co-authored a report today in Der Spiegel based on NSA documents leaked by Edward Snowden. The NSA has developed specific teams to target certain companies or operating systems, such as Apple’s iPhone, according to the report. The documents, some of which Der Spiegel published, show examples of private photos and text messages that the US government accessed, such as an email sent by a Mexican government agency through a Blackberry encryption technology but intercepted by the NSA. For more, we’re joined by Barry Steinhardt, founder of Friends of Privacy USA. In a related update, Facebook, Google and Yahoo filed separate court motions today to allow them to reveal more details about the government’s surveillance program. The companies filed the motions in the government’s secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, asking the court to allow them to disclose information about the NSA’s requests for information. Currently, the tech companies are barred from revealing details about the requests."

Primary election results are recounted.

Oneohtrix Point Never—aka Daniel Lopatin—is a Brooklyn-based composer who creates electronic music that is often described as “cinematic” and “orchestral.” He's performing at EMPAC at RPI in Troy, NY, Sept. 12, 2013. While broad in range, Lopatin does not ignore the small stuff; his sound engineering crafts and controls every detail and effect. Pulling from a wide range of influences—synth sounds, television commercials, classical minimalism, and high-end audio production—Lopatin condenses the disparate sounds to form music that slopes forward with self-contained narratives.

Tune in to this week’s episode of Some Assembly Required (#169) to hear a track by Stone, along with eleven additional sound collages by Animals Within Animals, BRATmix, Daniel Steven Crafts, DJ Danger Mouse, Emergency Broadcast Network, Furious, Go Home Productions, Doug Kahn, Christian Marclay (with Otomo Yoshide), Negativland and Party Ben.

Peter and Mickey open the program with a discussion of the drumbeat for US airstrikes on Syria, and the false picture being portrayed in US media. Professor Assad abu Khalil says none of the warring factions have the support of the Syrian population, and the "rebels" are bankrolled by conservative Gulf monarchies. Later in the program, Peter and Mickey welcome Abby Martin, host of the RT Television program "Breaking the Set," for a conversation about getting past the US power structure's domination of media. From Pacifica Radio.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "The National Security Agency released hundreds of pages of formerly classified documents Tuesday in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The documents reveal more widespread monitoring, constitutional violations and acts of deception than previously known and add to a growing debate about the use of surveillance tools and security after 9/11. In Washington, DC, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."

The NSA is called again.

Interview with Eliane Radigue and Keith Fullerton Whitman from Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, and other works by the composer Keith Fullerton Whitman. Keith Fullerton Whitman (born May 29, 1973) is an American electronic musician who has recorded albums influenced by many genres, including ambient music, drill and bass, and krautrock. He records and performs using many aliases, of which the best-known is Hrvatski (the Croatian word for Croatian). His works under the Hrvatski moniker mainly fell under the 'drill and bass' subgenre of IDM, and were his main musical outlet in the mid-to-late 1990s. Other solo aliases include ASCIII and Anonymous. Keith was in many bands in the 1990s, including El-Ron, The Liver Sadness, Sheket/Trabant, The Finger Lakes and Gai/Jin. Keith Fullerton Whitman started recording using his own name in 2001, and most of his work recorded today is under that name. In 2006, he performed at North East Sticks Together. His brother, former MIT scientist Brian Alexander Whitman and co-founder of The Echo Nest, is also an electronic musician and sound artist under name Blitter.[1]

The composer, and sometimes-Sonic Youth member, is featured. Jim O'Rourke (born January 18, 1969) is an Irish-American musician and record producer. He was long associated with the Chicago experimental and improv scene. Around 2000 he relocated to New York before moving on to Tokyo, Japan where he currently resides.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "After years of public outcry from citizens, Pakistan’s government today announced it would raise the issue of drone strikes at the United Nations. The government has publicly condemned the strikes, but has allegedly given the okay in private to the US to launch drone attacks. From Islamabad, Malik Ayub Sumbal has more for FSRN. In a weekly briefing here in Islamabad, Foreign Office spokesperson Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry called the drone strikes a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and a violation of international law. The decision to fight drone attacks through the UN comes after a recommendation from a national political conference. Chaundhry said the Foreign Office has already initiated the process in consultation with their UN delegations in Geneva and New York. He denied there is an agreement with the US on the use of drones in Pakistan’s territory; however, the United States maintains the strikes are made with the full cooperation and support of civil and military establishments. Just last Friday, a US drone strike near the Afghan border killed several suspected militants, including a high-ranking member of a US-branded terrorist organization. Malik Ayub Sumbal, FSRN, Islamabad."

Radia Show 441: Postcards from Italy by Gianmarco Del Re (for Radio Papesse, Firenze, IT) "Radia" is an international network of 23 station interested in new and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week, one station makes a show for all the others. This week: "Taking cue from Gianmarco Del Re’s column on Fluid Radio, which profiles the most interesting sound artists and musicians currently operating within the Italian electroacoustic scene, musicians Giulio Aldinucci and Attilio Novellino have launched the Postcard from Italy project. They invited the Aips collective artists to take parte in the project asking them to take field recordings in their own respective cities and areas, which were then redistributed amongst the group on an anonymous basis in order to be reworked and processed. The resulting sounds ended up being a multifaceted sonic snapshot of the Italian peninsula, articulated into an album to be released this September, a live event that took place in London July21st, 2013 at Café OTO and an installation at SoundFjord. This Radia Show was then produced by the original inspirator of the whole project, Gianmarco Del Re. He assembled fragments of the compositions included the Aips album, mixed them together with the original field recordings, excerpts from the installation sounds and recordings form the live shows of the Aips collective at CaféOTO and Power Lunches. The result is a 28minutes compendium of processed sketches from Italy.

Obama's speech to the nation on Syria on the eve of a nine-eleven anniversary...to Bill Clinton being Obama's "Secretary of Explaining Stuff" in his speech the other day on "Obamacare"...to evasive congressional hearings .. where it's hard to get a straight answer on whether the IRS only looked into tea party tax exemption requests..or whether it looked at progressive group requests for tax exemptions, as well.

Updates on the United States growing surveillance state. Collage of statements from Dir. National Intelligence James Clapper, including statements made in Congress. Plus, "Free Speech Radio News" reports about, "In Washington, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced a bill this week that would shield reporters in the event of an investigation. The measure follows a number of incidents criticized by press freedom advocates, including surveillance of journalists at the AP, prosecution of a Fox News reporter and threatening charges against a New York Times contributor if he doesn’t testify against a source. While the committee members approved the measure 13-to-5 on Thursday, they struggled to agree on who should count as a journalist and receive the law’s protections. California Democrat Dianne Feinstein pressed her colleagues to narrow the bill to only cover what she called “real reporters.” "Should this privilege apply to anyone? To a 17-year-old who drops out of high school, buys a website for 5 dollars and starts a blog? Or should it apply to journalists who have bona fide credentials?" Other lawmakers, including Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions thought no journalist who reveals any type of classified information should be protected. And Texas Republican John Cornyn suggested that the law only cover journalists who are US citizens. Both of those amendments were defeated. For more on the significance of the bill, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein spoke to Josh Stearns with Free Press."

Music, sounds, and interviews with artists and performers at the "Groundswell" show WGXC and the Olana State Historic Site are hosting at Olana on Sun., Sept. 22. Pauline Oliveros, Japanther, Bobby Previte, DJ Spooky, and bands with Greg Fox (Liturgy, others), are featured.

This live set by The Ashcan Orchestra was recorded by Issue Project Room in November 2012. Led by composer/performer Pat Spadine, the revolving Bushwick-based performance ensemble has been popping up in D.I.Y. style and art house venues throughout NYC and the eastern seaboard since 2007. Employing everything from children's hand bells, tape recorders, discarded televisions, homemade circuitry, light bulbs and mirrors, to more widely accepted noisemakers, Ashcan creates new music in forms more familiar than the instrumentation would lead the listener to believe. This process from humble and understandable beginnings to grander and more complex ends, has been a vehicle to both celebrate and emulate the physics that bind the known universe. This podcast was produced in collaboration with the radio station of the Clocktower Gallery, operating at artonair.org

"Radio, Radio" is a sixteen-part series of forty-five minute broadcasts which asks an honest question: Is there really a place on radio for experimentation? Twenty people immersed in radio, sound and performance offer, in their own ways, answers to this question through conversation and the presentation of their work. This episode: Jennifer and Kevin McCoy are Brooklyn-based artists who cycle, repeat and morph pop-culture tropes and images. Their series of microradio installations conflate gallery patrons with pirate radio listeners while ironically tweaking the language of novels like Frankenstein, Alice in Wonderland and the corporate-promo-speak of the web. In New York City their work has been exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, P.S.1, Postmasters Gallery, The New Museum and other venues.

Journalist Michael Paterniti discusses his latest book "The Telling Room," as well as issues about narrative and journalism itself with host Richard Wolinsky. From Pacifica Radio.
