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.

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?"

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.
