Jam Tomorrow – Episode 4 – April 20th 2010

Paul Richards, Katharine Hibbert, Joe Kassman-Tod and guests discuss politicians’ promises and the crucial
issues driving the 2010 election campaigns.
Today the subject is housing – and the lack thereof. With 4.5 million people on waiting lists for social housing, house prices now around 7.5 times average earnings and almost a million empty homes, something seems to have gone more than a
bit wrong. The Green Party’s Jenny Jones, Labour’s Jon Cruddas and Katy John from PricedOut, the campaign for affordable housing, tell us how they’d sort it out.

The Steve Parry Show: Totally Biased – April 13th 2010

In the second of his totally biased election specials Steve takes his Tory bashing up a gear as he welcomes barrister turned high church Tory comedian Andrew Watts. As Steve says, “Andrew is very funny but his political opinions are vile filth that must be stamped out”. Steve did not give Watts a right to reply. Listen to them lock horns tonight at 21:00. Writer David Tuck will be taking the role of referee and Ed Crasnick will be taking the role of neurotic jewish comedian live on the phone.

Also, even though totally biased is the name of an american leftie blog I think I might use it too. what do you think? do you think it is out of bounds? should I just plough on?

Hooting Yard: Erk Gah.

It is hard to think of an esoteric sect more hidden, more obscure, than the Erk Gah. We know virtually nothing of its membership, its ceremonies and rituals, its raiment and vestments, its perfumes, its symbols, its armaments cache, its hierarchy, its headgear, its idiosyncratic buttoning methods, its potions, its nostrums, its pomposity, its colour schemes, its texts, its insignia, its dietary stringencies, its bucket and spade seaside outings, or its ultimate purpose. Some have suggested that the Erk Gah does not even exist.

This episode was recorded on the 10th of September 2009. A complete transcript of this episode can be found on Frank Key’s Hooting Yard website. Accompanying Hooting Yard On The Air, the four publications We Were Puny, They Were Vapid, Gravitas, Punctilio, Rectitude & Pippy Bags, Unspeakable Desolation Pouring Down From The Stars and Befuddled By Cormorants are available for purchase.

April 16th 2010

A dissection of what the upcoming general election means for Human Rights in the UK.

With the persistent focus on ‘fairness’, ‘efficiency’ and ‘helicopters’, this show applies a different lens. We will look at what this election means for a very real issue – what will the upcoming election mean for Human Rights in the UK?

With the major parties pledging to either strengthen, retain and repeal British human rights protections, this is our chance to discuss the real difference between conflicting viewpoints.

Joining us in the studio we have legendary political activist, Peter Tatchell, and Anita Coles from civil liberties organisation, Liberty. We also have contributions from leading human rights academic Professor Conor Gearty of the LSE and Matrix Chambers, and Katie Ghose, Director of the British Institute of Human Rights.

Presented by K. Biswas and Rys Farthing

Pédilüv – Dzoin / Japinski par Simon Drouhin

Pédilüv vous propose  2 pièces de Simon Drouhin, artiste sonore aimant les chausses pieds,
qui vous enverrons dans le décor ou alors au Japon, au choix.

Dzoin 10min 23 sec
Pièce électro acoucore
mélange breakcore bit électro acoustique
Souhaitant trancher avec l’esthétique rigoureuse de l’électro acoustique, telle une trame plane et précise,
Dzoin renoue avec une idée de coupure et de son noisy plus violent, proche de la saleté.
Dzoin: l’aspect rebondissant et l’aspect biblique bien sur dzoin dzoin
Japinski ( fausse traduction en serbe du mot japon, en dédicace à Edina) 15 min
Pièce résultant d’un voyage au japon effectué septembre 2009
Se rapproche du paysage sonore, carte postale sonore inspirée du travail du compositeur Luc Ferrari,
tradition davantage acousmatique avec beaucoup d’information, des sons concrets, un appel à la mémoire.
Simon Drouhin
Artiste bourguignon
