Podcast appearances and mentions of Deirdre Flint

Ladies and gentlemen, beautiful bois and grrls, I am INSANELY pleased to announce that THE FIRST NEW EPISODE OF ECLECTICA IS NOW OFFICIALLY ALIVE AND KICKING!!! ^_^In this first, brand new episode, the show is ALL about bellydance!  In fact, this show is dedicated to all the amazing dancers in my life, as well as every single amazing dancer out there; male or female, big or small, young, old, able-bodied or otherwise, who is moved and inspired by this incredible, empowering artform. ^_^  To every single one of you; you guys ROCK.  This is for you. ♥♥♥ ^_^-And in honor of that artform (which has basically, blessedly, eaten my brains ;)) I've structured this first show a little like a bellydance class- or a multi-faceted Middle Eastern Dance show. :D  So.. without further ado- here goes!  On with the show! ^_^ If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element (Click here to play in a new tab, or right click "Save As" to download the full show- for free!)Band Names = Links to each band's official web site- where available).Song Names = Links to where you can BUY each musician's work- LEGALLY.  :)Background music:  TsG TrIB - GsY MixDeirdre Flint - Introduction to BellydancingShanghai Restoration Project - Babylon of the OrientBeats Antique (featuring LYNX) - She's Looking for SomethingThe Glitch Mob - Drive it Like You Stole It (Mixtape Version)Solace - BounceBrothers Of The Baladi - Nebtidy M'nain El Hakiah(Where Do We Begin Our Story?)Michael Beach - La Casa De Malfouf (The Malfouf Rhythm)Arabesque - Rak's en NarSchmoolik & DeScribe - Modern Day Moses(The Stolen Casios Remix)Pentaphobe - I Cash RadiiDJ Tomasc - Romica StepDead Can Dance - The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove♥The first portion is stuff to get your ears intrigued, your blood pumping, and your body eager to MOVE. ^_^  The second portion is more directly inspired by Eastern and Middle Eastern music, (which some associate more with Cabaret-style bellydance).  And the last segment offers music with a more modern twist, but still touches of various types of Eastern influences.  (Think more Tribal & Fusion inspired work. :))  Each part of the show was designed to flow well from one section to another (so you may notice a little blending or overlap of styles at the edges of each segment at times).  But no matter what style or section of the show you're listening to, I hope it ALL makes you wanna dance- move, shimmy & strut- even if you've never taken a SINGLE bellydance class. ;D  (And if you like what you hear, srsly, go out and BUY this stuff from the musicians.  Every little bit helps to support new and interesting music to be made by these awesome and often unsung artisans of audio! :D)Of course future episodes of Eclectica will have all KINDS of other music interspersed within, but as bellydance has become such a HUGE part of my life, you'll find a good many of the shows from here on out featuring music that'll make you wanna shake your money-maker in all KINDS of marvelous ways.. ;D  -And to those who fear the show will -just- be Middle Eastern from now on, FEAR NOT!  Songs of -all types- make me want to get up and dance- be they fast, slow, Jazz, Folk, Blues, Rock, Pop, and on and on, so whether a show is bellydance-inspired or not, Eclectica will -still- be Eclectic- and feature all KINDS of great music. ^_^And of course, this is just the start of the coolness I have in store for future episodes of Eclectica, so if you like what you hear, please, let me hear from you! ^_^  Feedback from listeners means SO MUCH to us li'l indie podcasters (as it lets us know that our music is being heard), so every little bit of interaction counts more than you could possibly know. :)  (And since we appreciate it so much, we're also more likely to get back to you with responses, which is not something always experienced w/the bigger, more fancy types of entertainment media. ;))  Plus, as this is also a proving ground to see whether or not the show will continue (and if so, in what direction), the more feedback I get from you, the better the show will likely be! :D (Plus- the more likely that the show will be tailored to you. ;D)  So if you have any comments, questions, thoughts, ideas, suggestions, or concerns, please drop on by and leave a comment- either here, on Eclectica's Facebook page, or via my e-mail addy, at; djselchie @ gmail . com.  (W/spaces omitted, of course. ;))  ^_^Thank you so much to -everyone- who's helped and supported Eclectica in previous years, as well as in this new incarnation, and thank all of YOU out there who're listening!  Plus, extra-special thanks go out to Deirdre Flint, Beats Antique, LYNX, Pentaphobe, DJ Tomasc and Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry, who kindly gave their exclusive permissions for their music to be played here on Eclectica.  (To each and EVERY one of you guys; thank you thank you thank you thank you- SO MUCH! *beams*)  And to ALL of you; my bands and my listeners, supporters, signal-boosters, onlookers and all; I love y'all.  I hope that you dig what you hear, and brightest of blessings. ^_^Yours Forever in Song,DJ Selchie♥♥♥☼

September 5, 2011 Health At Every Size radio show Pat (a.k.a. The Queen) & PegE (a.k.a. Dr. Elam) took the Labor Day holiday off, and scheduled a prerecorded interview with Karen Blomain, author of The Season of Lost Children, to run as that day's HAES show broadcast. There were some glitches with the recording that aired on 9/5/2011 -- some blank periods and a double show ID/intro -- which have been edited out of this podcast/archived version. The interview was part of the Pearlsong Conversations teleconference series, in which Dr. Elam wears her publisher's hat and talks with one or more Pearlsong Press authors, readers and fans. To learn more about the Conversations -- how to participate in one -- visit the Pearlsong Conversations page on the Pearlsong Press website. You'll also find links to other Conversation recordings there. Music includes "Freedom" by Suchi Waters Benjamin & "Introduction to Belly Dancing" by Deirdre Flint.

Direct V-Day Show DownloadOkay, maybe it's not completely lovey-dovey, but upon examination of the songs I've predominantly used in this episode, some might think it's close... I'm a sap, n' it shows. ;)I tried over and over and over again to make the music I wanted to use in this episode line up to create a storytelling ep. of sorts, but nothing ever quiiite worked out- so I just used a refinement of my first list; where the items have been lined up the way they are because they just sound good that way. :) One could say that they're now in little thematic groupings of things like "love lost," "love gained" and "love sought," but the only two pieces w/real placement meaning are those placed at the very end. ("Where Beauty Moves" and "Breakable.")Upon final examination (and the nagging feeling that I was missing something- which inspired this realization) I kind of wish I'd put "Where Beauty Moves" before "Strict Machine" (as the feelings of the song would go better together, it'd be a better transition from "Beauty" to "Machine," and it wouldn't be such a jarring change from "Sadeness" to "Beauty.."), but at this point the work is done, and I'm not up for re-doing the whole end of the show again, like I've already done once. ;) (It's a LOT of work! :)) Perhaps you'll decide to buy these tunes online or in your local area somewhere, and you can make your own fantabulous playlist. :):)Big props go out to ArielPublicity for access to so many songs for this episode, and as always to IodaPromonet n' the PMN!I hope this show inspires you and makes your heart grow fonder, and that you dig all the tunes herein. :)♥♥♥DJ Selchie, Your Siren of Song ;)Track List1. Amy Speace - Two (So romantic!!)2. The Shanghai Restoration Project -Miss Shanghai Revealed (SOO sweet!!)3. Tori Lewis feat. Talent - Where I Wanna Be (How you should feel when you're in love. :))4. The Latin Soul Syndicate - El Gitano del Amor (You GOTTA have some Latin music on a show about love n' passion!!!)5. Donna Lewis - Shout (How so many of us feel when we're in love.. :))6. Peter Bradley Adams - Under My Skin (SUCH a beautifully intense, romantic song!! -Almost sounds like Allison Krause in the background.. no?)7. The Silentreatment - Sweet Ending (A yearning heart hoping for what we all hope for... :))8. Deirdre Flint - I'm Single (How some of us feel during this holiday. ;))9. Enigma - The Principles of Lust (The Everlasting Lust Remix) ('Cause love is more than just candy hearts and sonnets. -Ah yes- and show correction, they're German. :))10. Lothlorien - Willie and Mary (Love is often crossed with hardship. We can only nurture hope & follow our hearts.)11. Andy Davis - Earth and Venus (Sometimes we don't know how to handle love when we find it...) 12. Goldfrapp - Strict Machine (Love is not always the same for everyone... ;))13. Enigma - Sadeness Part 1 (The US Violent Remix) (Love can be painful- & some folks like it that way. ;))14. The New World Renaissance Band - Where Beauty Moves & Wit Delights (One of the loveliest male voices I've ever heard sings of how love doesn't always turn out the way we wish it would...)15. Ingrid Michaelson - Breakable (Both love and Life are two supremely precious commodities.)Background Music: Enigma - Sadeness Part 1 (The US Violent Remix)Overall message: We need to be careful with each other. Love is a treasure and so are the hearts and lives of the people around us in our lives. We should treat them accordingly. :) Lastly; I know that the quality of my microphone is still drek, but I hope that the quality of my music more than makes up for that. :):) Also, I hope that this Valentine's Day you find love in your life- no matter what form it takes. And that if you don't, you might at least find some cheer w/the music in this show, and that you keep your heart and hope open for love soon to come. :):)♥♥♥-DJS

This, the sixth episode of Live and Direct is now available for your consumption and critical analysis. It's me, interviewing protestors and activists who were at last Sunday's demonstration and who are involved with several local organizations whose causes include pro-impeachment, anti-war, and pro-peace groups. This episode is 53MB and features 57:56 of thoughtful, non-mainstream political discussion. What follows is an annotated timeline.I first interviewed Sue Ferra (at 1:33) and George Miller (at 2:58) at the From Every Village Green protest on Sunday.NOTE: in the show I got the percentage wrong of Americans who would favor impeachment, given Bush's lies about the war. It was actually 53% in favor of impeachment vs. 42% against. For details, see Majority of Americans Support Impeachment.As George suggests, you should google "federal reserve bank ownership" and read for yourself the history and true nature of what many Americans assume is a branch of their government.Here is a 2002 speech by Congressman Ron Paul advocating the abolishment of the Fed. For those of you who prefer to watch a video, here you go.The solitary, yet appropriate song I played during the show is Deirdre Flint's "Presidential Succession". Should you wish to listen, it's from 12:42 to 15:40. Deirdre also has a podcast.The two people I interviewed on the air were Deb Atwell and Steve Burke. Deb is the local contact for Maine Impeach, and Steve is one of the original founders of the Midcoast Peace and Justice Group. Midcoast Peace and Justice holds meetings at 7PM on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Rockland. They are free and open to the public.Both Maine Impeach and Midcoast Peace and Justice will provide pro-impeachment stickers and yard signs, should you desire that.There are many such groups around Maine. The two largest are Peace Action Maine in Portland, and the Peace and Justice Center of Eastern Maine in Bangor. An umbrella organization is the Maine Coalition for Peace and Justice.I had a first for Live and Direct, a caller expressing her views. The transcript of that segment is below: (this exchange happens between 29:48 and 31:29, for those of you eager to hear it)Female Caller: I'm a Republican, and I think George Bush is the best president we've ever had, and this is all just a bunch of crap.Kim: Well, I understand those are your political views and you're welcome to them. We have the people that we're interviewing, and they're welcome to theirs as well.Caller: Let me just say: George Bush is only against slackers and sinners and terrorists, so if you don't like him, which one of the three are you?Steve: I guess I can try and answer the lady's question, or at least give my spin on it. I don't think George Bush is a Republican at all. I think the Bush administration is pretty much run by neo-conservatives and they've defied most of the tenets of the Republican party. Most Republicans aren't really thrilled with the ideas of military adventurism, they support fiscal responsibility, a balanced budget, in the Reagan tradition they're against increasing the size of the federal bureaucracy, and the Bush administration has failed at all of this. I think that true Republicans are going to be severing ties with this administration pretty fast come election time.Caller: Twenty years from now when they blow us all up, you'll remember that, and you'll say George Bush was a good president.Kim: Thank you for your call.I thank everyone that took the time to talk to me for their thoughts and criticism, opinions and analysis of the most important—but least aired, in mainstream media—political issue of our time. As always, I welcome your dialogue and criticism. If you are so inclined, please contact me.
