Bob Dylan in 2012

Using studio, live and field recordings, this is an impressionistic audio trip to the Hollywood Bowl on October 26, 2012 for a Bob Dylan concert. Along the way we get to know the artist again. The band cooks up a tight enveloping lace of rockabilly over Dylan's gruff but warm vocals. The set is retrospective as fits the artist in his 70s.

Two Confrontations

"I’ve started reading The Death of Nature: Women, Ecology, and the Scientific Revolution by Carolyn Merchant. The front cover promises me that a “confrontation” with this book will cause me to rethink “the meanings of science, its historical origins, and its role in today’s world,” because, as the back cover tells me, the book is about “how the scientific revolution sanctioned the exploitation of nature, commercial expansion, and the subjugation of women.” That idea might not be as shocking as it was 30 years ago when this book was first published...."

Debt, The First 5000 Years

Anthropologist David Graeber takes a long view of debt, observing 5000 year of historical cycles, as interest bearing debt slowly reduces a large fraction of the populace to slavery, at which point the rich forgive the debts (jubilee) and/or an uprising destroys the social order by force. Graeber challenges a lot of sacred cows of economists, such as the idea that money evolved from barter or that markets somehow spontaneously arise independent of states. Highly recommended reading for anyone involved in creating new money systems or organising movements of debt resistance.

Hurricane Victims in Coney Island - A Special Report

A Building Bridges Special Report On Hurricane Victims in NYC's Coney Island: After The Storm: Coney Island's Beleaguered Residents Remind Us That The Real Devastation Is Continuously Drowning In Poverty Coney Island's residents wander about amidst the mounds and mounds of sand, pushed blocks back into their streets and homes by Sandy in this oceanfront community. And there's the historic Nathans eatery, its boarded up plywood sheets have been partially pried loose by wind and rushing tides that threatens to ripe dangerously down the streets. Every-where is a landscape of small stores with their fronts blown out, ominous high water marks ringing what's left of their exteriors and their inners just dangling wires wiping about furiously from the frigid, ocean wind blasts. Every- where are the cherished furnishings and belongings of the areas residents, now all jumbled together and tossed on the streets looking like the carelessly left playthings from a child's dollhouse. Disabled, elderly residents are still trapped on the uppermost floors of public housing developments, without heat and light, without water, amidst the power outage. Other tenants and low-income home owners in the area have lost all their life's possessions. And there are so many without food, and who face the prospect of prolonged homelessness. Coney Island's residents were drowned out by a hurricane, but before Sandy they were as well drowning in poverty, and now it seems they've been hung out to dry, by a plutocracy who could very well provide storehouses of food immediately and build "we the people" veritable Taj Mahal's in which to live our lives. Government has virtually ignored the residents of Coney Island & mass media has covered them almost exclusively to sensationally and raise the fraudulent specter of looting. But, there's another reality as well, there amongst the devastation are brigades of youth tirelessly shoveling the sand back, bringing the scarce resources, bottled water an other necessities they can find to their neighborhoods. Again and again they've climbed the stairs to assist and offer their concerns, refusing to leave or ignore their sisters and brothers - the power of the people's collective will and energies provides fortitude and hope for one of our communities, fighting to rise above the tides.

Victoria Law on the Struggles of Incarcerated Women

from http://www.ashevillefm.org/the-final-straw/11/2012/victoria-law-on-the-struggles-of-incarcerated-women This week's show features a conversation with Victoria Law. From her PM Press Author's page: "Victoria Law is a writer, photographer, and mother. After a brief stint as a teenage armed robber, she became involved in prisoner support. In 1996, she helped start Books Through Bars-New York City, a group that sends free books to prisoners nationwide. In 2000, she began concentrating on the needs and actions of women in prison, drawing attention to their issues by writing articles and giving public presentations. Since 2002, she has worked with women incarcerated nationwide to produce Tenacious: Art and Writings from Women in Prison and has facilitated having incarcerated women's writings published in larger publications, such as Clamor magazine, the website "Women and Prison: A Site for Resistance" and the upcoming anthology Interrupted Lives." This week we speak to Vikki about the second edition of her book, "Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women." We discuss patriarchy, criminalization & invisibility that is faced by those held in women's prisons. We also talk about resistance, organizing, support and engagement of those on the inside and about the organizing that formerly incarcerated people do to help their comrades on the inside. This show is available at www.ashevillefm.org from 11/5/12 thru11/11/12.

BSTF 938 - LNI Weather Show

Yes, I know I played this show just last winter--but MAN, the fucked- up weather is a more salient concern than this horrible upcoming election. Tonight, let's analyze a hideously game-changing disaster that's at least natural. Doc Ellis and Doktor Bugbladder dissect the pros and cons and what-the-fucks of the undeniably increasing climatological carnage that the Earth is experiencing. In the coldly objective hands of the LymphNode Institute, it's just the facts, ma'am...but whatever the cause, we're left with the staggering effects, and we'd better figure out how to deal with them--or, failing in that, finding ways to laugh at the burgeoning meteorological menace. Is this stupid goddamned planet going to survive long enough for the Church of the SubGenius to engineer its destruction, or have we just been pounding sand on a shitball whose only destiny is its own doom? Man, now THAT's a crying shame! Sorry about the too-frequent replay of this--but it was either this one LNI show or that SEVENTEEN-HOUR HURRICANE SPECTACULAR I did. So it's not exactly like it's a case of "Suffer, bitch, SUFFER!"

#628 - Asking Forbidden Questions

This week we learn how much effort has been put to making people assume that the virtues of capitalism are beyond question. We hear three Marxian commentators offering their own angles on the development of capitalism in USA, interspersed with a reprise of Noam Chomsky from episode 29 on the elite's determination to control the public mind lest the democratic state serve the wishes of the majority rather than the privilege of the few.

#627 - The Progressive Process of Desocialization

This week, two Marxist professors speak on the social impact of capitalism and especially in USA. First, Silvia Federici speaks on 'The Progressive Process of Desocialization', how capitalism breaks down communities and people's human relationships of care. Next it is the turn of Richard Wolff who applies his Marxian class analysis to the US household, noting that more and more adults are rejecting the traditional (feudal) model of domestic exploitation and either living alone or in more egalitarian patterns.
