“Board of Peace” talks while Israel kills

The Irish government currently allows visa-free travel for Israelis. But Palestinian students must get visas and more than half are being rejected. The Electronic Intifada’s contributor Abubaker Abed in Ireland joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to talk about his latest reports on why students who had already received admission and full scholarships to Irish universities are being denied. On the Resistance Report, Jon Elmer covers the loss of more than one-third of the US military’s MQ–9 Reaper drone fleet in Iran and Yemen. Israel is maintaining its relentless attacks on Lebanon. Journalist Roqayah Chameseddine reports on a deafening silence and a total lack of intervention from the Lebanese government, leading families to face the Israeli onslaught alone. Once the home to Gaza’s vineyards, Sheikh Ajlin has now been taken over by crows and stray dogs. Amro Rashad Abo Aisha and Nour Abo Aisha explain in their article ‘Crushed but defiant: The grape growers of Gaza.’

Sonic Café #497/Is this the American Dream?

Sonic Café—kicking things off with Lydia Pense and Cold Blood, with 1970’s funky “Too Many People.” Hey, welcome to our little coastal radio café. I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 497. This time the Sonic Café presents a music mix that spans 55 years and leans eclectic in all the best ways possible. Listen for hard rocker’s Danzig with Mother from 1988, Dire Straits Mark Knopfler with the inside story on the bands 1985 hit Money For Nothing, also the Goo Goo Dolls and Arctic Monkeys. Then something from our, that’s just weird department. Listen for swing, revival jazz-rock band The Squirrel Nut Zippers their 2001 hit Put A Lid On It. We’ll also roll another Sonic Café twin spin. Around the bottom of the hour listen for Foghats 1972 hit, I Just Want To Make Love To You, followed by the OG, Muddy Waters with a modern, electrified take from his Electric Mud era. Then we’ll learn how McDonald’s became a 200-billion company in another Sonic Café classic movie moment. And later, a question: when McDonald’s, Walmart, Subway, Home Depot and Applebee’s line every exit coast-to-coast… we have to ask ourselves, is this really what the American Dream was all about? So let’s get to it. From South Korea, a made-for-TV band became the real deal: The song is Not But Disco, this is Kardl, and we’re the Sonic Café.

Ed Reinhart— "Boogie Woogie Pianist"

In my opinion, when my friend Ed Reinhart comes here to Ukiah, it is well worth the effort to track him down and listen to him play someone else’s piano and sing along. And that is what happened the last few days of 2010. The sign said Ed would be playing at the Himalaya Café at the south end of town on New Year’s Eve beginning at 6:30 pm. Now it may seem a bit early to start a New Year’s Eve Party, but Ed is always ready to do things his way, and under the guise of liking to get to bed early, he played and sang Old Lange Syne when it was New Year’s in New York, or in the Ukiah vernacular, 9 p.m. Now Ed, who masquerades as Earl Dixon, a semi-unknown sort as he likes to say, and/or Rico Suave, a moniker he adopted while living in Ecuador, can play boogie-woogie piano better than most anyone. And that to me makes Earl and Rico all the more confusing as to who they may or may not be. Ed, etc. have been guests on three previous editions Radio Curious, and those visits are available at www.radiocurious.org. Why so much Ed on Radio Curious? I like him and his music and enjoy our visits. We hope you do too. So Happy New Year to each of you and welcome to the first Radio Curious program recorded in our 21st year on the air. This interview with Ed Reinhart was recorded in the studios of Radio Curious, in Ukiah, California on January 7, 2011. The book Ed Reinhart recommends is “World Without End,” by Ken Follett.

John Stoehr: Dems and the State of Political Journalism

When you read political articles these days, do you often find yourself incensed that the author has chosen to speak for "mainstream Dems," "many Americans" and other wide swaths of the electorate without the slightest bit of data to back it up - or have you become immune to this sort of framing? This week on Sea Change Radio we speak to John Stoehr of The Editorial Board about the reliance that political journalists have on the "voice of God" to carve the narratives they desire. We discuss how the media has created a dynamic where political fictions so easily become reality, look at the impact that the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America, is actually having on the Democratic party, and examine communication issues within the party's leadership.

The Life and Times of Utah Phillips (ONE of TWO)

Honoring Utah Phillips, the folk singer, labor organizer, storyteller, activist and poet. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 15, 1935, he died in Nevada City, CA, on May 23, 2008. From the archives of TUC Radio – this is a celebration of his life and an account, in his own words, of how he became an activist. “The golden voice of the great American Southwest”, Bruce “U. Utah” Phillips came to the Unitarian Fellowship Hall in Berkeley on May 18, 2004, to talk about his life. Phillips parents were union organizers in the 1930s. When he left home to join a road crew in Yellowstone Park the older workers, who played guitars, taught Phillips how to turn his ukulele chords into guitar chords. As a soldier during the war on Korea, Phillips continued to find refuge in music and helped to form a band. After he returned to the United States he befriended Ammon Hennessey at the Joe Hill House for Transients and Migrants. Hennessey convinced him to become a pacifist and to use music as a political weapon. Come back for the second part of this one hour talk when Utah Phillips remembered the founding of the Poor People’s Party for children, working with the Mormon Church, the Black Panthers and Judi Bari, and how he became involved with the Folk Singers movement.
