Dr. Daniel J. Levitin – "Music On The Brain" Part 2
Dec. 22, 2023, 5:12 a.m.
Originally Broadcast: November 8, 2006
This Is Your Brain On Music: The Science of a Human Obsession
The understanding of how we humans experience music and why it plays a unique role in our lives is this topic of two interviews with Dr. Daniel Levitin, author of, “This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession,” recorded from his home in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in late October 2006. Professor Levitin runs the Laboratory for Musical Perception, Cognition and Expertise at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He asserts that our brains are hardwired for music and therefore we are all more musically equipped than we think, and that music is an obsession at the heart of human nature, perhaps even more fundamental to our species than language. Professor Levitin believes that the music we end up liking meets our expectations of what we anticipate hearing, just enough of the time that we feel rewarded, and the music that we like also violates those expectations just enough of the time that we’re intrigued. In the first interview Dr. Levitin begins by describing how the human brain learns to distinguish between music and language. The second interview begins with a discussion of what happens when people listen to music they like.

Dr. Daniel J. Levitin recommends, “Another Day in the Frontal Lobe,” by Katrina Firlik, and, “The Human Stain,” by Philip Roth.

Dec. 22, 2023, 3:33 a.m.
"All Things Cage" is a weekly program featuring conversations between Laura Kuhn, Director of the John Cage Trust, and Cage experts and enthusiasts from around the world. If youd like to propose a guest or a topic for a future program, write directly to Laura at lkuhn@johncage.org.Laura Kuhn presents the first recording of John Cages Europera 5, preceded by her reading Recollections of the Premiere Performance by Yvar Mikhashoff. This recording of Europera 5 was produced by Brian Brandt and released on the Mode Records label as Mode 36 in 1995, with performers Yvar Mikhashoff, Martha Herr, Gary Burgess, Jan Williams, and Don Metz. Europera 5 is the last and most diminutive of Cages operas " preceded by Europeras 1 & 2 (1984-1987) and Europeras 3 & 4 (1991) " and was instigated by pianist Yvar Mikashoffs desire for a small, more practical and portable, and more easily performed work in the series, which had its premiere in Buffalo at the North American New Musical Festival on April 12, 1991.

Stephen Lendman - A Tribute to the "Most Prolific Journalist in Independent Media"
Dec. 22, 2023, 1:45 a.m.
On the show this week, we will be spending the next hour investigating the late journalistic career of an accomplished journalistic figure: Stephen Lendman. HE passed away in May of 2023, however with his views so well pronounced in numerous press articles on his blog and in the many radio shows that he produced, it is almost difficult not to imagine what he would be saying at the present time in the face of the latest manouevre to deny trump a presidential candidacy, the attempts to disguise Ukraine’s continuing losses in the war with Russia, or the efforts to wage a full genocide against Gaza. The show will feature past audio of his radio show, as well as features with him on other people’s programs. And we talk to several individuals who can speak to their own experiences of knowing him.

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.24.01. Addendum to What has happened in the world
O.K. Boomer, Delving into What it Means to a Generation with Little Prospects
I rerecorded this episode, and upon listening to the audio lineup I included, I almost re-rerecorded it, the content in those clips is just that good. I doubt I have to tell longtime listeners that this episode is not simply all about “O.K. Boomer”, though the statement is the catalyst for its content, it really is a quick glimpse into the reality created by this generation, which led to some of the dismissiveness from the Millennials and Generation E’ers. You’ll hear within this episode, how I trace the Baby Boomers influence in politics not to the 1990s, but to the late 70s, when the design of their political aspirations began to seep into the body politic. I also take a more critical approach to observing the impact of the Baby Boomers (and Gen-Xers) had on the burgeoning cultural realities experienced by the following two generations. My criticisms extend to the present day and the political turmoil handed to these generations during a time when stability is sorely needed. Admittedly, this is an episode I thought about scrapping, my pacing and delivery are shakier than I like, but the content is solid (once you get past the first two points), thus I am posting it. Hope you enjoy it.
Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.24.02. Why I Don't Let the Baby Boomers Off the Hook for the State of the World
Sometimes the mind works quicker than the environment around the mind works. I discovered every clip included in this episode well after the time of recording this episode (May 2023), yet the content within each could have merited an Episode Segment all their own. Alas this episode does not contain dissections of those clips content, instead the Segment includes ideas I have been mentally toying around with for some time. The first being the long shadows of generations, an idea I first proposed in a soon to be released “From the Vault” Episode. The second being how the idea of the generation has evolved as the society seems to change quicker and quicker over time. Beyond these subjects, which begin the Episode, I dive into the domestic trauma which shaped Baby Boomers. Instead of just focusing on the societal trauma, much like Howe & Strauss do, I focused on the actual family life (Home life) experiences of the Boomers (a point requiring some form of compassion for them, as it was their home life that produced the broken society we now live in). From here I present what may be the most important point I make in this episode, the fact that Boomers were the victims of modernity – meaning, just like Millennials & Gen E’ers, they were tasked with reprogramming their minds, emotions and psyche’s to a modern social structure that was elastic (meaning constantly molding on all levels) and crumbling (meaning every caused some aspect/ column within the society, to collapse into dust, begging for something new to be risen in its place); this unstable reality was made even more so by the looming nuclear disaster threat, something MLK Jr. mentioned in his Massey Lectures. Such a reality could only produce distorted ends if the proper psychological measures weren’t taken.

Independent journalist Chris Hedges speaks before the Independent Journalist Association
Dec. 20, 2023, 5:16 a.m.
Mainstream media’s presentation of the news concerning the war on Gaza has lacked context from the beginning. To most, it began on October 7th with attack by Hamas on several Israeli targets. But what is largely ignored in the analysis of Israel's ongoing unilateral slaughter of Palestinians (NOT a "war") is the historic Israeli military occupation of Palestine and siege of Gaza. Chris Hedges has covered a multitude of wars all over the globe, and seeks to fill the void with context that helps us understand what is really happening in Palestine, not only Gaza, but also the West Bank where Palestinian deaths have increased dramatically.
The Unsustainable Green Transition - Simon Michaux
Dec. 20, 2023, 4:53 a.m.
When I found this conversation and decided to re-broadcast I was intrigued by Simon Michaux’s rare expertise in mining - and by the premise that we can’t go green without going small. Our fossil fueled economy is destabilizing the planet. But a renewable economy as it is designed now makes unsustainable demands on minerals and materials of this earth.
Simon Michaux is an associate professor at the geological survey of Finland. He is a problem solver in the mining industry and now the industrial recycling industry. Most of his current scientific papers deal with the tasks to completely phase out fossil fuels in Finland.

Lauren Kim: Young Evangelicals for Climate Action
Dec. 19, 2023, 11:04 p.m.
A study from 2022 found that people who identified as non-religious or atheist were more likely to identify as pro-environment, as compared with religious people who tended to be "less committed to the environment.” Many of us environmentalists may not look to churches as natural sites for allies. But perhaps we should look a little closer. This week on Sea Change Radio, we are speaking with Lauren Kim, an evangelical Christian and recent college graduate, who volunteers for an organization called YECA - Young Evangelical Christians for Climate Action. We talk about the mission of her organization, learn about a faith-based form of environmentalism known as "creation care," and discuss a new generation of evangelicals converting their brethren to help protect the planet.

Christmas Show -Sister Elizabeth Kelleher speaks about the moral need to build social housing
Dec. 19, 2023, 7:23 p.m.
This interview aired in 2011 and is still relevant today, Sister Kelleher passed on Aug 16 2013 and her life continues to be an inspiration to all***Gives us all something to think about at this time of year**
We speak to Sister Elizabeth Kelleher, an 85 year old nun with the Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement, we talk about her efforts to stop more gentrification in Vancouvers Downtown Eastside the poorest postal code in Canada.
Sister Elizabeth is a pillar in the Downtown Eastside where she tirelessly gives of her time and continues to be a source of inspiration for many, many people. She operates a soup kitchen that feeds between 300 and 500 of the citys most poverty stricken each day.
It is estimated that there are over 10,000 homeless people in BC , of which 32 percent are aboriginal, and amongst women, 50 percent. A homeless person dies every 12 days in B.C. Conservative Estimates put the national homeless numbers at close to 300,000. The annual cost of homelessness in Canada in 2007 was approximately $4.5 to $6 billion in emergency services, community organizations, and non-profits. The cost both financially and morally of doing nothing is tremendous. Canada is the only G8 country without a national housing plan or poverty reduction strategy.
