Badiâa Bouhrizi - (إلى سلمى) Ila Selma 09. Ikebe Shakedown - Road Song Below are the notes from Leah on her selections: Sun Ra - Nuclear War "Cos when it comes, your ass gotta go. A New York sister called Savitri reminded me of this song through an Insta dance she did to it. This is basically high school basements, bad weed, half formed political ideologies, hormones and angst flooding back and every second of it is beautiful." This Is the Deep - The Best Is Yet To Come "London bands have an unsubtle obsession with 70s roots and beats. This megaband consisting of almost everyone else in a particular scene hits the Harry Nilsson / Randy Newman vibes with a Serge Gainsbourg pipe. When their music isn't lounging in a Laurel Canyon basement, they're laundering themselves through Devo and Womack & Womack. " Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love "The album this track lives on was released in 1984, the year my mom had a death threat from the Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Not long after that, my parents and I left Manila under the premise I would be going to DisneyLand. I don't ever remember liking Mickey Mouse. We left my brother and sisters behind as assurance we'd return. We didn't. Not until we'd claimed asylum and had to re-enter the United States from our country of origin. Which almost never happened because in 1989, the year we went back to do it, my godfather was the Secretary of Defense as troops loyal to Marcos staged a coup attempt against President Corazon Aquino. It was December and we were stranded in Japan, waiting for a flight to Manila. My mom organised a protest, lobbied the heads of Japan Airlines and raised an almighty stink that resulted in a standing room only jumbo jet packed w Filipino families led by military escort to Manila. I remember boarding the back of a military jeep zooming through the Makati streets to our house. I remember the sounds of explosions going off while walking our dogs not far from where we lived and my mom being taken in a Presidential car to Malacanang Palace. I remember missing my siblings so much, I asked for a teddy bear each to stand in for them when we eventually left. And this song - that I couldn't place until an algorithm on YouTube did it for me and everything flooded back." (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay - Otis Redding "One of the songs I will probably sing when I am senile. Not only is this bang in my vocal range, this and Tina Turner's "Proud Mary" are my go to karaoke songs. The great Booker T. Jones played on this. It's all from the Detroit / Chicago / Memphis tradition of soul and gospel music that I like to paint my upbringing in Chicago with. But it's also the best soundtrack to a long road trip I took w my mom on Amtrak trains and Greyhound buses across the lower 48 from September 84 to Feb/March 85 when we finally settled in Chicago and found a sponsor for our asylum claim. My mom always found a way to do exactly as she wished as long as it pertained to securing my future, be it hard or easy. And she gave up a lot for me. The fact I write this in relative comfort and privilege is a testament to her sacrifice."

Free City Radio's 77th edition is a conversation with Robert Vitalis who speaks about the book "Oilcraft: The Myths of Scarcity and Security That Haunt U.S. Energy Policy," which is described this way : "There is a conventional wisdom about oil—that the U.S. military presence in the Persian Gulf is what guarantees access to this strategic resource; that the "special" relationship with Saudi Arabia is necessary to stabilize an otherwise volatile market; and that these assumptions in turn provide Washington enormous leverage over Europe and Asia. Except, the conventional wisdom is wrong. Robert Vitalis debunks the myths to reveal "oilcraft," a line of magical thinking closer to witchcraft than statecraft. Oil is a commodity like any other: bought, sold, and subject to market forces. Thus, the first goal of this book is to expose the suspect fears of oil scarcity and conflict. The second goal is to investigate the significant geopolitical impact of these false beliefs. In particular, Vitalis shows how we can reconsider the question of the U.S.–Saudi special relationship, which confuses and traps many into unnecessarily accepting what they imagine is a devil's bargain. The House of Saud does many things for U.S. investors, firms, and government agencies, but guaranteeing the flow of oil, making it cheap, or stabilizing the price isn't one of them. Freeing ourselves from the spell of oilcraft won't be easy—but the benefits make it essential."

Hello and welcome back to Porous Borders. This is episode 5, the first episode of 2020, and today on the show is an interview with Will Guthrie.If you're not familiar with Will Guthrie's work, he's an Australian percussionist who started out in Melbourne and is based in Nantes in France and he has a lot going on. He's released a huge number of solo percussion and musique concrete recordings and many more collaborations with people like Richard Dawson, Oren Ambarchi, Keith Rowe, Ava Mendoza, and Mark Fell. In 2019 Will released a bunch of great records, a solo tape called Some Nasty on the Indonesian label Hasana Editions, as well as a collaboration with Sam Shalabi, Mark Fell, and Oren Ambarchi called "Oglon Day", and a duo record with Oren Ambarchi called 'Knotting'. In 2018 he also released a split tape with my friend and future podcast guest Gendes on the Noise Bombing label. You'll hear more about that label on next week's episode, which will be out on Tuesday the 7th.Recently, Will has been travelling to Southeast Asia, which is where we met and recorded this interview. Just a quick technical note, you'll hear a bit of popping on Will's mic, which is 100% my bad microphone placement, and not Will's fault at all. I've tried to EQ out the worst of it, but you'll definitely notice it. I really enjoyed this conversation; Will is an incredible musician and a really nice person.

Interview is recorded on October 19th, 2017 in Montreal. To honour Freda Guttman, a great Montrealer and to celebrate her 85th birthday! A unique and wonderful Artist and Activist that we have the privilege to listen to her life story on this Quilt episode. Happy BirthDay Freda! “Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.” -Bertolt Brecht One advantage of having had the good fortune to live into old age is that I can look back and see my life in art and activism as a story, a journey that begins with three facts about myself as a child: I was aware in some way of being in opposition to the society I grew up in; I was keenly interested in what was happening in the world; and I knew that what happened in the world had, in some way, an impact on my small life. This longevity, (for which I am grateful!), offers me the opportunity to reflect on personal intentionality and processes of engagement against a changing social and political backdrop. Art and Activism. Although there have been many permutations and combinations in how I managed these activities, I can’t really separate my journey into political radicalization from my development as an artist, nor can I separate my activist intervening in struggles for social justice from the creative work I’ve done. They coincide. The same path, the same journey of learning, of opening. A journey conducted within specific social cultures of resistance to repression in the political conditions of specific times. – Freda Guttman, from her website. Music for this Episode is courtesy of Stefan Christoff from родина (rodina) album; an exploration of duets between Sam Shalabi on oud and Stefan Christoff on piano.

George Washington became America's first President in April of 1789. From that day on, every decision he made, from minor things like what to wear and how to be addressed, to fatal decisions on slavery and war, broke new ground. His actions in that first term would set the precedent that every leader from then on would follow and build upon.
