The Debate
The scramble for Greenland: Can Danish dependency resist Trump pressure?

The Debate

It's got a population smaller than Paris' Latin Quarter, but thanks to Donald Trump, the whole world's watching Greenland. As citizens of the Arctic Danish dependency choose between six main parties, all pro-independence to varying degrees, we'll ask how locals voting in parliamentary elections feel about the US president promising Congress to get the mineral-rich island “one way or another”. Even if it means taking on traditional allies. Denmark's an EU and NATO member that equips its military with hardware made in the USA. What does Trump's hard bargaining say about the times we live in? New imperialism, melting polar ice caps, housing and social challenges, we'll ask how changing times are impacting the life of Greenland's 56,865 inhabitants and what lessons we can all draw from the global attention they're suddenly getting. Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip.

POLITIK I MUSIK Man skal 6-7 årtier tilbage for at opleve en tid hvor musik og politik var meget mere forenet, hyppigt og naturligt. Selv i 80'erne var det forholdsvis udbredt, men siden da har det været svært at få øje på de politiske musikere. Der er dog nogle og endda dem der er aktivistiske ved siden af deres udgivelser og tekster. En del er de gamle navne som stadig og stædigt vover at være en politisk stemme i musik. Men visse nye modige er dog stødt til!. Sejrstimen spiller eksempler på mange af dem, men selvom temaet er en sjældenhed i branchen når jeg dog ikke rundt om alle, især ikke navne fra 60'erne og 70erne. Der er så også numre med, hvor det kun handler om at "politik" indgår i titlen uden at artisten ellers er politisk. Ryan Adams, America, Coldplay, Data, Bob Dylan, Human League, Korn, Latin Quarter, The Magnetic Fields, M.I.A., Randy Newman, Small Time Giants, Wake The Sun, The Waterboys, Roger Waters, Mikael Wiehe og naturligvis de danske Savage Rose, Sebastian samt ukendte Jo Banks.

Atsushi Tanaka is the Japanese born chef of the restaurant A.T. in Paris, France. Despite being one of the most talented people I know, he has somehow managed to stay off the radar. His restaurant has a Michelin star and he often will go and cook at restaurants around the world, though he doesn't give a lot of interviews. He's quiet and elegant rather than in your face and loud, which is refreshing to see, and his food is a reflection of his personality. I was there in Paris last summer and finally had his food after meeting him a couple of years before. It's a small, minimalist space in the Latin Quarter, a block from Pont de la Tournelle. It's one of those places I could go again and again. There's good music playing. The wines, always natural, are beautiful. The food is very ingredient driven, though there aren't long drawn out stories about anything. It's not French. It's not Japanese. It's not Nordic. It's not Latin American. It's just him and he's a lovely person. It's my favorite restaurant in Paris. Also, he breaks the news that he's probably going to open in New York in the not too distant future. It's something he has been wanting to do for years and it looks like it will finally happen.Disclaimer: We talk about cats a lot. We are both cat people. Check out the Instagram of his cats. I think the first 10 minutes of this episode is just two grown men talking about their cats. Don't judge.Find a transcript of the episode at New Worlder.

This street was also the birthplace of the Divine actress Sarah Bernhardt, and extremely important to the Revolutionaries like Marat & Danton.

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!The son of Joseph-Francois Baudelaire and Caroline Archimbaut Dufays, Charles Baudelaire was born in Paris on April 9, 1821. Baudelaire's father, who was thirty years older than his mother, died when the poet was six. Baudelaire was very close with his mother (much of what is known about his later life comes from the letters he wrote her), but was deeply distressed when she married Major Jacques Aupick. In 1833, the family moved to Lyon, where Baudelaire attended a military boarding school. Shortly before graduation, he was kicked out for refusing to give up a note passed to him by a classmate. Baudelaire spent the next two years in Paris's Latin Quarter, pursuing a career as a writer and accumulating debt. It is also believed that he contracted syphilis around this time.In 1841, Baudelaire's parents sent him to India, hoping the experience would help reform his bohemian urges. He left the ship, however, and returned to Paris in 1842. Upon his return, he received a large inheritance, which allowed him to live the life of a Parisian dandy. He developed a love for clothing and spent his days in art galleries and cafés. He also experimented with hashish and opium. Baudelaire also fell in love with Jeanne Duval, who inspired the “Black Venus” section of Les Fleurs du mal. By 1844, he had spent nearly half of his inheritance. His family won a court order that appointed a lawyer to manage Baudelaire's fortune and to pay him a small “allowance” for the rest of his life.To supplement his income, Baudelaire wrote art criticism, essays, and reviews for various journals. His early criticism of contemporary French painters, such as Eugene Delacroix and Gustave Courbet, earned him a reputation as a discriminating, if idiosyncratic, critic. In 1847, he published the autobiographical novella La Fanfarlo. His first publications of poetry also began to appear in journals in the mid-1840s. In 1854 and 1855, he published translations of Edgar Allan Poe, whom he called a “twin soul.“ His translations were widely acclaimed.In 1857, Auguste Poulet-Malassis published the first edition of Les Fleurs du mal. Baudelaire was so concerned with the quality of the printing that he took a room near the press to help supervise the book's production. Six of the poems, which described lesbian love and vampires, were condemned as obscene by the public safety section of the Ministry of the Interior. The ban on these poems was not lifted in France until 1949. In 1861, Baudelaire added thirty-five new poems to the collection. Les Fleurs du mal afforded Baudelaire a degree of notoriety; other writers, including Gustave Flaubert and Victor Hugo, publicly praised the poems. Flaubert wrote to Baudelaire, extolling his artistry: “You have found a way to inject new life into Romanticism. You are unlike anyone else [which is the most important quality].” Unlike earlier Romantics, Baudelaire looked to the urban life of Paris for inspiration. He argued that art must create beauty from even the most depraved or “non-poetic” situations.Les Fleurs du mal, with its explicit sexual content and juxtapositions of urban beauty and decay, only added to Baudelaire's reputation as a poète maudit (cursed poet). Baudelaire enhanced this reputation by flaunting his eccentricities; for instance, he once asked a friend in the middle of a conversation “Wouldn't it be agreeable to take a bath with me?” Due to the abundance of stories about the poet, it is difficult to sort fact from fiction.In the 1860s, Baudelaire continued to write articles and essays on a wide range of subjects and figures. He was also publishing prose poems, which were posthumously collected in 1869 as Petits poèmes en prose (Little Poems in Prose). By calling these non-metrical compositions poems, Baudelaire was the first poet to make a radical break from verse.In 1862, Baudelaire began to suffer nightmares and increasingly bad health. He left Paris for Brussels in 1863 to give a series of lectures, but had several strokes that resulted in partial paralysis. On August 31, 1867, at the age of forty-six, Charles Baudelaire died in Paris. Although doctors at the time didn't mention it, it is likely that syphilis led to terminal illness. His reputation as poet was secure: the Symbolists who led the next major movement in French poetry— Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Verlaine, and Arthur Rimbaud—claimed him as a predecessor. In the twentieth century, thinkers and artists as diverse as Jean-Paul Sartre, Walter Benjamin, Robert Lowell, and Seamus Heaney, have celebrated his work.From https://poets.org/poet/charles-baudelaire. For more information about Charles Baudelaire:Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:Alex Ross about Baudelaire, at 22:05: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-046-alex-ross“Meditation”: https://fleursdumal.org/poem/321“Charles Baudelaire”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/charles-baudelaire

Episode 63: THE OTHER BROADWAY, part 1: The Origins of New York Nightlife

BROADWAY NATION

This is the first episode of a new Broadway Nation mini-series that explores what I am calling, “The Other Broadway”.  Today when we see or hear the word “Broadway”, we most likely think of New York's Theater District and it's 41 active theaters nestled in and around Times Square (where today 36 plays and musicals have thankfully returned to the stage!)  Or that word evokes the legendary cannon of shows that have played in those theaters, most especially those great, glorious Broadway musicals that up until now have been the principal subject of this podcast. That, however, is really only part of what “Broadway” has meant to most people during the first half of the 20th Century – when Broadway was at the center of American culture.  For more than 5 decades the word “Broadway” meant not just the performances in the legitimate theaters – those Plays, Musicals, and Revues.  But also, or even more so, it meant the Nightlife that surrounded them.  From the 1910s through the 1950s there were hundreds of cabarets, speakeasys and nightclubs crammed into the Theater District.  And they epitomized “Broadway” just as much as what was happening in the theaters,  In fact, the most famous songs about Broadway – those anthemic tributes that you hear on every Tony Awards show and every Broadway themed occasion such as “Give My Regards To Broadway”, “Lullaby Of Broadway” and “On Broadway” – all have lyrics that are much more about the nightlife than they are about the shows. During this series I will lead my listeners on a late night tour of Broadway's most famous hot spots including Rector's, Reisenweber's, The El Fay Club, Club Durant, Club Richman, The Hotsy Totsy Club, Club Alabam, The Silver Slipper, The Pansy Club, The Stork Club, Casa Lopez, La Conga, 21, The Parody Club, The Rainbow Room, The Latin Quarter, El Morocco, The Astor Roof, The Cotton Club (it was in Times Square for a while), Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe, The Copacabana and many more. There you will rub elbows with such stars as Vernon & Irene Castle, James Reese Europe, Sophie Tucker, Clifton Webb, George Raft, Rudolph Valentino, Gilda Gray, Texas Guinan, Ethel Waters, Florence Mills, Helen Morgan, Harry Richman, Bill Robinson, Cab Calloway, Desi Arnaz, Tommy Dorsey, Frank Sinatra, Fats Waller, and Clayton, Jackson, & Durante to name only a few. However, before we venture out into the night, we need to look back to the origins of this other side of Broadway, so in this first episode I explore exactly where New York nightlife began. I hope that you enjoy it.  I am now entirely obsessed and fascinated by this subject! Please let me know what you think!   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 2022 we are celebrating 400 years of Molière's birth. This playwright had such a strong impact on French literature that it is common to say "la langue de Molière" as a synonym for the French language. But Molière's influence is felt on more than just the language. He opened our eyes to all sorts of injustices that French people are still prickly about. Have you ever watched a Molière play? How do you think he compares with Shakespeare? Annie went to the Comédie Française recently to watch Le Malade Imaginaire, and what it treat that was! Annie's new VoiceMap tour of the Latin Quarter is now available, at long last.

I had three days in Paris and I floored it. Day One - get the lay of the land, check out the Scene, figure out where the Eiffel Tower is, check out the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe. Quick browse of the PSG soccer store. Nap. Off to the Latin Quarter and Cathedral of Notre Dame. Then a cruise on the Siene. That was my day!
