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." Levison said he was barred from discussing the events over the past six weeks that led to his decision. Soon after, another secure email provider called Silent Circle also announced it was shutting down."

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."

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").
