En Música de Contrabando revista diaria de música en Onda Regional de Murcia (vamos de 23,05 a 01,00h). Sole Giménez publicó el segundo volumen de Mujeres de música, un proyecto de colaboración con diferentes artistas y cantantes - Además, canta por primera vez con su hija, Alba - que busca fomentar el reconocimiento de las mujeres como autoras y compositoras. Lo presentará en el cierre del Festival Murcia Tres Culturas , y hablamos con ella.Adiós a Ouka Leele, la fotógrafa que coloreó La Movida. A finales de los setenta iluminó portadas de la revista Star y en los ochenta también dejó huella en la música como autora de algunas de las portadas más interesantes de la época, como la que hizo para el debut homónimo de Ilegales en 1982; Passion, de Peor Imposible (1985); Rebuznos de amor (1983), de Los Burros, Tiempo de amor (1983), de Danza Invisible o Bajas Pasiones, de Bajas Pasiones (1985).INTERROGACIÓN AMOR tienen algo indescriptible. Hechizante. Cada una de las canciones que hemos ido descubriendo del nuevo álbum que nos llega abunda unos parámetros musicales diferentes, pero todas esconden algo oscuro, misterioso, que hace de su escucha un desafío tremendamente atractivo. "una manera perfecta de morir" es el nuevo Single adelanto de su próximo Álbum “cómo un ángel podría romper mi corazón” .Temas como Un My Head, Dangerous o Hung Up han conseguido crear unas expectativas tremendas de cara al lanzamiento de Reeling, su primer álbum. Mysterines, liderados por Lia Metcalfe y provenientes de la ciudad rockera de Liverpool están más que preparados para el asalto. Suede regresarán el 16 de septiembre con un nuevo álbum titulado Autofiction (BMG). Y como adelanto han lanzado el single “She still leads me on”. "Me gustaría gustarte" es el primer single de Lusillón, de un disco que llegará a finales de 2022. Lo suyo es el puro pop mayúsculo que aglutina y actualiza décadas de dulzura, elegancia y estribillos irresistibles. Imagina una versión millenial de Jeanette, Julieta Venegas o Astrud Gilberto. En "Tan Claro" , Ana Cano evoluciona poco a poco hacia un pop electrónico que bien podría ser pinchado en cualquier sala indie de baile. Los Estanques y Anni B Sweet presentan “CABALLITOS DE MAR” Último adelanto del nuevo disco del grupo que han creado. El productor y artista criado en Brooklyn, Carlos Truly (del supergrupo indie Ava Luna) comparte su tercer y último sencillo "Vessel". Tv Priest suben la intensidad en "it was beautiful", nuevo adelanto de eurfórico post-punk de My other people, Shearwater estrena "laguna seca", misterioso adelanto de orquestado rock de cámara de The great awakening. Para celebrar el 20º aniversario de su exitoso debut, The Libertines reeditan en 7 "su single "what a waster/i get along" además del ep en vivo What a waster live from the ica. El segundo adelanto, ,‘VESTIR DE MUJER' , de Dr Explosion, es un tema reivindicativo sobre la libertad de identidad. Nightlands (proyecto en solitario de dave hartley de the war on drugs) estrena "no kiss for the lonely", medio tiempo con bajo sintetizado y etéreos coros de Moonshine. bbno$ (baby no money) aumenta la intensa sensación veraniega con "piccolo", nuevo single de vibrante hip hop. Burning está de vuelta con “Algo está ardiendo”. Si en “solo pasiones…” Rebe ya nos dejó absolutamente hipnotizados, confirmando su cualidad como pionera y rara avis del pop erótico espacial, ahora nos despierta con un golpe directo al corazón: “Marisol”. Valdivia vuelve a la primera línea del pop underground con un nuevo EP, de nuevo completamente automedicado, y titulado 'La Cruz' y que sirve como continuación de 'Cero'. Antes del lanzamiento de su nuevo álbum If I Never Know You Like This Again..., SOAK comparte un último sencillo del disco. “Swear Jar” trata sobre la depresión y la ruptura de una relación. León Benavente estarán el 3 de junio en Las Noches del Malecón.

Felicia Douglass - "Continuation," a 2021 self-released single. Felicia Douglass's voice is all around us: not only is she a solo artist, she's also a member of Ava Luna, Gemma, and Dirty Projectors; and she has lent her gorgeous vocals to Lushlife, BAILE, Toro y Moi, Helado Negro, and others. "There was a point a few years ago where I was like, 'Okay, I feel like I'm in too many bands,'" the Brooklyn-based artist jokingly toldGARAGE last year. Thanks to her home studio set-up, Douglass has been able to continue working remotely. ("Casio keyboards are good clutter," she quips.) Today's Song of the Day is one of those at-home creations, released last October.

Feminist Hotdog is back! In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking to writer Jessica Hoppe about her experience as a first-generation Latina woman with Indigenous roots navigating the recovery landscape. Jessica is using her storytelling skills—and what she learned from getting and staying sober during the Trump era, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent uprisings in defense of Black lives—to talk about why recovery communities must acknowledge and address racism in healing spaces. Whether recovery is part of your life or not, you won’t want to miss out on Jessica's wisdom or her inspiring story! (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

For the third and final episode in the Feminism and Sobriety series, I spoke with Jocellyn Harvey, author of Recovering the Home. Jocellyn’s sobriety story led her to a place where she felt the need to recover not only her body and her mind, but also her living space. She developed a four-part framework for women who want to clear their homes of the energy created by their drinking and replace it with a safe, nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed without alcohol. Jocellyn is inspiring for many reasons, but one of the biggest things I took away from our conversation was how committed she is to resisting perfectionism and giving herself grace. Listen and learn about how she overcome not only her problem drinking, but also the endless cycle of feeling like we’re never doing enough.

CW: sexual assault There is a tremendous amount of tension in the conversation about alcohol and sexual assault; Nina Sarhan is here to help us name it AND address it. As someone who claims both the labels alcoholic and rape survivor, Nina is using her voice to help banish the shame and stigma so many people associate with addiction and sexual trauma through her online platform @thesobrfeminist.

We are kicking off 2020 with a guest I have wanted to interview forever: Holly Whitaker, founder of Tempest Sobriety School and author of the fabulous new book Quit Like a Woman. If you’ve ever questioned your relationship with drinking or you're thinking about making a change for 2020, this episode is a MUST LISTEN. Today's topic is particularly personal. This is the first in a three-episode series about feminism and sobriety that I wanted to do, in part, to create some space to talk about my own recovery and to come out as a sober person and what that means as a feminist. (Have questions? Let’s talk!) Holly dropped so many mind bombs in this interview, it was almost impossible to edit. We talked about her story, why she tried and then left AA, and the origins of Tempest. We also dug into why our recovery culture needs a feminist overhaul and what it really means to “quit like a woman.” (Music by Ava Luna, Loyalty Freak Music, Katrina Stone, Rew, Space Doves, Borrtex, and Josh Leake.)

California Congressman Ro Khanna took on a Democratic incumbent in a 2016 primary because he said Democrats needed to fight harder for economic and social and racial justice, for peace and a new approach to foreign policy, for bold responses to the climate crisis and for a new economy that harnessed technological progress for human needs. It was a bold agenda, and voters embraced it, sending Khanna to Congress with a mandate to shake things up. He has done so with a passion. Aligning with veteran members such as California Congresswoman Barbara Lee, he brought fresh energy to the fight to thwart militarism and advance diplomatic solutions to global conflicts. With Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, he led a successful move to get the Congress to signal its opposition to US support for Saudi Arabia’s assault on Yemen. Khanna also joined Sanders in high-profile efforts to get Amazon, Walmart and other corporations to pay living wages. Khanna has challenged monopolies, urged tech corporations to invest in rural America and authored a groundbreaking Internet Bill of Rights. He frequently takes on President Trump, but vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus also objects when Democrats compromise on principles. We spoke to him on Next Left about many of these fights, and about the influence that his Indian grandfather’s anti-colonial activism had on his politics.

This week’s podcast takes us to Virginia, where we talk to Lee Carter, Marine Corps veteran, Democratic Socialist, Lyft driver, and member of the Virginia House of Delegates. When Carter was elected in 2017, as part of a Democratic wave that transformed the legislature and Virginia politics, he celebrated by leading his supporters in a rousing rendition of the labor anthem “Solidarity Forever.” That was just one of many signals that Carter planned to shake things up in Richmond. And so he has! We talk with this rabble-rousing legislator about tangling with the Democratic establishment and reactionary Republicans, about his fight to upend Virginia’s anti-union “Right-to-Work” law and power up organized labor in the south, about how he has made himself one of the most transparent political figures in the country, and about the genius of Billy Bragg’s version of "The Internationale." “So comrades, come rally... for this is the time and place!” SHOW NOTES Since Trump’s Victory, Democratic Socialists of America Has Become a Budding Political Force (https://www.thenation.com/article/in-the-year-since-trumps-victory-democratic-socialists-of-america-has-become-a-budding-political-force/) , The Nation, Anna Heyward The 7,282-Seat Strategy (https://www.thenation.com/article/the-7383-seat-strategy/) , The Nation, Joan Walsh Lee Carter’s Campaign for Labor Rights in Virginia Is Important for All Working Americans (https://www.thenation.com/article/lee-carter-right-to-work-virginia/) , The Nation, John Nichols The Racist Roots of Right to Work (https://www.afscme.org/now/the-racist-roots-of-right-to-work) , AFSCME Now A Virginia politician’s novel approach to personal scandal: Tell all before opponents do (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/a-politicians-novel-approach-to-personal-scandal-tell-all-before-opponents-do/2018/10/19/c8ed7ea8-cd65-11e8-a3e6-44daa3d35ede_story.html?utm_term=.757ebb69d9ad) , Washington Post, Paul Schwartzman GOP delegate Miller’s mailer compares Democratic opponent to Stalin, communists (https://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/government-politics/gop-delegate-miller-s-mailer-compares-democratic-opponent-to-stalin/article_cb0773a0-9b96-51de-9a2d-42a9b479deba.html) , Richmond Times-Dispatch, Patrick Wilson Carter Singing Solidarity Forever on His Election Night (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dupH0onYBKA) , from YouTube The Internationale (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTVOz-RnUAw) , Billy Bragg This episode of Next Left was produced and edited by Sophia Steinert-Evoy.

This week we're in Chicago, city of big dreams and big politics. Historically, Chicago was a machine town. Democratic bosses prevented reformers and radicals from getting anywhere near power, but that's changing fast. This year, Chicago elected a city council that is ready to push the boundaries of status quo politics, how far? 10% of the new council members are Democratic Socialists. We'll talk today with one of them, Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, who just beat an incumbent city council member whose family has held the same seat for the better part of 50 years. We talked to her just 45 minutes after the incumbent conceded.

From the grass roots to the ballot box, we are witnessing an explosion of progressive political energy. New candidates are running for offices high and low—and they’re winning. In Next Left, a new podcast from The Nation hosted by National Affairs correspondent John Nichols, these insurgent politicians let us into their lives, tell us their stories, and explain how they plan to change our country for the better. We want to understand how the people who are forging the next left got turned on to politics, and what they plan to do now that they have been entrusted by voters to upend the status quo. Our first guest is Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. We spoke in her Capitol Hill office, where visitors are greeted by an image of Shirley Chisholm, who 50 years ago was the first African-American woman elected to Congress. Omar is, herself, a woman of many firsts—the first Somali-American and the first naturalized citizen to serve in Congress, and one of the first two Muslim women to serve in the House. She is also the first member of Congress to wear a hijab. We are delighted that she is the first guest on Next Left. SHOW NOTES [Reps.

We looked at the city's number of measles cases last week on episode 21, and new numbers this week show that the outbreak continues to grow. Within the city, there have now been 498 total confirmed cases, and increase of 32 over last week, and in data from the CDC, the nationwide total is now at 839. A new school has been ordered closed this week for failure to follow the city health commissioner's public health emergency plan introduced last month. On May 13th, the city ordered the Yeshiva of Central Queens closed for failing to "exclude unvaccinated students for 21 days following a known exposure at the school." This is the 9th school closed by the city, and all others have since been allowed to reopen after modifying their practices to comply with the emergency plan. This outbreak is the worst the United States has seen since 1994, when the yearly total was 928 cases nationwide. In response to the ongoing outbreak of measles, the city has partnered with local (hut 'zu lah) Hatzolah emergency medical groups and the Maimonides Medical Center to make the measles vaccine available to the community, regardless of medical insurance or ability to pay. Various times and locations are available on a poster provided by the city that you can view online, or you can call 311 for more information or stop by the Hatzolah offices Boro Park, Williamsburg, or Flatbush. Within the city, Orthodox Jewish communities are hardest hit due to a combination of unvaccinated individuals and travelers returning from Israel, where there has been an outbreak of measles since last year. In the city health department data, Williamsburg has the highest total number of cases, at 379, and has added 20 new cases just in the previous week. The city has also carried through with restrictions outlined in an official health department declaration from last month, closing multiple schools and citing 98 individuals for failing to show proof of vaccination or to obtain a new vaccination. Measles is a highly contagious disease that is spread through the air as sick individuals cough or sneeze. The measles vaccination is included in MMR shots, standing for measles, mumps, and rubella, that contain a specially-weakened form of the virus that trains the body's immune system on how to defend against that virus in the future. For information on where to obtain a measles vaccination, call 311 or view information from the Department of Health at nyc.gov/doh. 100 years ago on May 16, 1919 — Members of the "Russellites" religious sect living in Brooklyn receive reduced sentences after being charged with distributing anti-war materials. 135 years ago on May 17, 1884 — P.T. Barnum leads a parade of 21 elephants across the Brooklyn Bridge, which had opened just one year earlier Wegmans supermarket comes to the Brooklyn Navy Yard on 7am on October 27th, when the 74,000 sqft store opens where Admiral's Row once stood. An update to last week's deadly Harlem fire at the Frederick E. Samuel Apartments that claimed the lives of four children and two adults in the early-morning hours of May 8th. FDNY fire investigators determined the cause to have been an open flame on the stove, and that Andrea Pollidore had a habit of disabling the smoke detector while she cooked because it would begin to alarm so easily. A source told NBC4 that the stove was found in the "on" position, so it seems to have been left burning at some point that day and eventually fire spread late in the night, when smoke overtook the apartment before the family inside could escape. Killed in the fire were 4 y/o Elijah, 6 y/o Brooklyn, 8 y/o Andre, 11 y/o Nakyra, their mother Andrea Pollidore, and family friend 32 y/o Mac Abdularauph, who was previously reported as a step-son. A GoFundMe page has been set up by a family member to cover the funeral costs and has received over $40,000 in just six days. 80 years ago on May 17, 1939 — The first televised sporting event takes place at Columbia University 57 years ago on May 19, 1962 — Marilyn Monroe performs "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" as part of John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden Mayor de Blasio held an announcement at Trump Tower on May 13th: In what was either a shortsighted location choice or an attempt to draw attention to a possible presidential run, de Blasio faced a cacophonous scene for his New York City Green New Deal press conference, with Trump Tower turning up the music in their lobby speakers and about a dozen protesters taking endless rides on the escalators behind the podium while carrying "Trump 2020" and "Worst Mayor Ever" signs. The city's Green New Deal plan would fine large buildings like Trump Tower for the pollution they emit, and buildings account for 70% of carbon emissions within the city. 73 years ago on May 20, 1946 — A twin-engine military plane crashes into 40 Wall Street, killing all on board A Great Big City has been running a 24-hour newsfeed since 2010, but the AGBC News podcast is just getting started, and we need your support.

This triangle at the corner of 93rd and FDR Drive is nicely landscaped and surrounded by a low, decorative fence, and inside is a large stone monolith that reads "East River Drive Triborough Bridge Approach". This marker is from the 1930s when both the East River Drive (FDR Drive) and the Triborough Bridge (RFK Bridge) were built and is giving drivers some very advance notice that this road leads to the bridge on-ramp at 125th Street, much like the green overhead highway signs do today.

Ava Luna is a New York City-based group so eclectic, to simply call them "indie" or "pop" or "indie pop" would do a disservice to their blend of funk, punk and electronic music. I caught up with Julian Fader (drums), Felicia Douglass (vocals/synths) and Becca Kauffman (vocals/synths, a.k.a. Jennifer Vanilla) on release day for their latest full-length Moon 2 and chatted with them about wanting more out of touring, making the most of your band's hiatus and the allure of Times Square.

This week I got to dish with teacher, mother and lover of life Judy Kerner. We talk about Judy's unconventional path to parenthood, ruminate over Gillette's new toxic masculinity ad, and learn about three modern book lovers who are bringing back indie-stye Bookmobiles to communities that lack access to queer authors and writers of color. We also welcomed two new Hall of Famers who both work in the entertainment industry, including a young woman who started the Chinese #MeToo movement. (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

My guest, Madison Clark, is a scholar, a pop-culture princess, an activist and an expert on everything Michael Jackson. Madison stopped by on a visit from Southern California to talk about her latest experience as a clinic escort, clemency for Cyntoia Brown, AOC's dance moves and "Masculinity Monday." We also introduced each other to two trailblazing academics from history and welcomed them into the Hotdog Hall of Fame. (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.) Support this podcast
It almost doesn't feel right to have a chef of this caliber on a show with "hotdog" in the title, but lucky for us, Davena is a culinary populist. In this episode, we talk collard greens, vibrators, "micro-affirmations" and the assumptions we make about lady chefs. We also get to know a hard-core 19th-century feminist left behind by history for being "too radical." (Wait...that's a thing???) (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.) Support this podcast
It's the last episode of 2018 and the first Feminist Hotdog threeway! Dynamic duo Shannon and Leanne join me to reflect on the year, talk about their favorite feminist moments (shout out to Brandi Carlile and the Dixie Chicks), and launch their singing careers. We also hear about Shannon's surgical adventures and ponder the mystery of why doctors have such a hard time talking to patients about their vaginas.

In this episode, we learn about the world of artist and writer Christine Sloan Stoddard—a world inhabited by fictional quails, badly blown glass and sparkly clay vulvas among other oddities and delights.

What happens when you leave Feminist Hotdog all alone with no one to talk to? She starts talking to you!

On today's episode, I talk to Becca Kaufman, Julian Fader and Ethan Bassford of the Brooklyn-based band Ava Luna. While a lot of the music press has compared Ava Luna to the Dirty Projectors due to some superficial similarities, Ava Luna is very much their own band. Combining R&B, no wave, funk and more, they've released a number of EPs as well as two albums: Ice Level in 2012 and their latest Electric Balloon, which was just released in early March.Check out the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter!
