Stopping Stop & Frisk, and Ending the System of Mass Incarceration

Bloomberg Hasn t Given Up and Neither Are We:
Stopping Stop & Frisk, and Ending the System of Mass Incarceration
with
* Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, one of the leading hip-hop generation intellectuals in the country, host of nationally syndicated TV show Our World With Black Enterprise, author "The Classroom and The Cell: Conversations on Black Life in America" by Mumia Abu-Jamal & Marc Lamont Hill
* Arturo O Farrill, Grammy winning, pianist, composer, educator, founder and Artistic Director of the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance,
* Djibril Toure, Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and Plaintiff in Daniels v. The City of NY
There was the most recent prominent police murder of 13 yr old Andy Lopez in California; there is the growing rate of incarceration & caging of millions of people in US prisons; there is still Stop and Frisk and other racial profiling policies. And, thus there is the imperative to confront these policies and dismantle the practices of the discriminatory and cruel criminal justice system. Building Bridges presents highlights from two of the events sponsored by the STOP Mass Incarceration Network and Communities United for Police Reform (CPR) to STOP Stop & Frisk, to STOP Mass Incarceration!

Dec. 1, 2013, 1:41 a.m.
Welcome to the Bizarro Warhollian future, where maybe everyone isn't famous for 15 minutes, but they're on camera all the fucking time!
In putting together several Conspiracy/conspiracy shows in the past month, I began to find a strong thread of material touching on covert surveillance issues that I thought could tie in nicely with an NSA theme, and tonight's show is the result. This show has chunks of everything in the mix--crazy preachers, gibbering crackpots, paranoid visionaries, Canadian defense ministers, Huey Freeman, Oingo Boingo, Zappa, The Ramones, Sloppy Seconds, The Spears, Zoogz Rift, The Deviants, Francis E. Dec, even the insidious Mark Zuckerberg--and the whole thing is wrapped up nicely with a song I found at WREK that is 2013-fresh, an exquisite number called "They're Watching Us from Satellites" by Lennie Berger that's a damned good one to dance to.

Alkali Hotsprings at Night full version
Dec. 1, 2013, midnight
Here it is! a Short clip of an hour long recording of the Earth's didgeridoo. The hotspring here is tapped by a long 4" black pvc pipe. Air and water mix in a rhythm that takes several seconds to play out. Air builds up in the pipe and then pushes it's way out preceded by a surge of water. I think this is a great relaxation ambient. I'll post the whole hour on www.radio4all.net Once there, enter "My Home is on the Road" into the search and look for an episode called Alkali Hotspring Night. At around minute 9 you'll hear the sound of a car coming down the road and passing. In this basin you can hear a car coming for over a minute, and see one coming sometimes for 15 minutes. Really. (check out road in background of Dec 1, 2013 blogpost to see the 15 minute road). Near the begining of the recording I think one can hear the last of my footsteps after leaving the recorder.
After the recorder was there an hour, as Mary and I were finishing up a delightful dinner, a pick-up truck pulled in. We could hear music drifting across the desert. It went from "eye of the Tiger" to slower country songs. I trudged off to recover the recorder. I made a lot of noise and flashed my headlamp its brightest as I approached the spring. The couple in the pool was quite friendly for having been told I was picking up my recorder. After squinting at the screen of the recorder, I proclaimed: "Oh, it looks like it ran out of memory an hour ago or so..." Thus reashured, the man joked; "oh, you might a got some sex noises on there..." Well, we may never know.
When I opened the file in my editor, it was easy to see the much louder part starting when their truck pulled up. I deleted that whole section from the track without listening to it. Descretion is the better part of valor. enjoy.
