Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Factory Farming--Enough
is Enough?" Thomas Scully, the senior speech writer for George W. Bush
says we must face up to what we do to factory farmed animals. "One
common response is 'I don’t want to know …I don’t want to know.'
"Cruelty to animals is an abuse of power, and when people take
advantage of animals and do cruel and wicked things to them, they
debase themselves." [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Jennifer Bowen. This week:
"Hasluck's Grand Plan" (part 1 of 2). When Paul Hasluck was appointed
Commonwealth Minister for Territories in 1951, he effectively became

music.

wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists.
About this week's show Tim writes, "Now there is a bit of a story
behind this week's program... I received an email from a person in
france saying they were coming to australia and they wanted to drop
some french dub cds off to me - would that be alright - yes I said....
well the story became a little more than a couple od dub cds...." [T;%]
1305 -
THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and
more in a show artfully arranged for radio.
[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Wed.: “It’s important that young people hear music from all genres”
declares Karine Polwart. The songs on “Faultlines” – her debut “solo”
album as singer-songwriter - are musically-diverse, acutely observed,
keenly intelligent, passionate, compassionate & sharp. Scottish “roots”
music’s ongoing revival has no more remarkable talent. She's an uncanny
singer of traditional Scots songs, but Karine (now, 33) only really
“discovered” & embraced Scottish traditional music in the mid-1990s.
Her songwriting skills are perhaps even more remarkable. “Faultlines”
is deeply emotional but quite free of easy-sentimentality, socially
engaged (Karine formerly worked in the field of domestic & child
abuse), but never preachy.
Thu.: Australia’s Keith Hounslow played the trumpet & cornet superbly
for more than fifty years. He’s a prodigiously “open” musician, at ease
in contexts from deepest “trad” to absolutely “free”. In the 1970s
McJAD – his occasional duo with pianist Tony Gould - played
entirely-improvised music which was quite “free”, yet often gorgeously
lyrical. Having recently decided to retire from concert stage &
recording studio, Keith chose to mark his decision with a decidedly
different “last hurrah” from McJAD. The studio for “McJAD goes Organic”
was the Chapel of Melbourne University’s Ormond College, with Tony
enjoying an unfamiliar role as pipe organist. “The McJAD Chronicles” is
a suite of free improvisations, & the two friends also play three
standards. A bonus, second CD makes available again the contents of the
duo’s two 1970s LPs.
Fri.: “Paradiso” is fun, ingenious, melodious, playful, romantic, wry
& surprising. If its title hasn’t already told you whence the music
came, its subtitle will: “The Joy of Film Music”. It’s the new CD by
Melbourne pianist Joe Chindamo. He rides a Yamaha, pianistically
speaking. Here, Joe also plays excellent “stomach Steinway”; after all,
he was an Italian-Australian child prodigy of the accordion. His very
sensitive touch is evident in his pianism & in the way Joe can take a
tune to places it has never been before, whilst respecting its essence.
A pair of “James Bond” numbers are but two of many lovely examples.

Wed.: IN THE PIPELINE - This thirteen part radio series goes beyond
the current hype surrounding digital technology to examine the
challenges and opportunities it creates for Australia and the Asian
region. This week: "7-Windows of Opportunity". Some believe that the
introduction of new communication technologies will open up
opportunities for both hardware and software industries in Australia as
our traditional rural and resource industries struggle to sustain
economic growth. What possibilities are there for Australia to create
new jobs for the 21st. Century? Can Australia combine with those
countries in Asia who are developing information industries to forge a
regional IT economy? Can developing countries, leap-frog into the
global economy as some argue? And will the ‘information-poor’ become
the sweat shops of the new ‘information age’? [T;%]
Thu.: ALL IN THE MIND - a foray into the mental universe, the mind,
the brain and human behavior with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "The
Coming of the Neurosociety". Need a neurocompetitive advantage? Pop a
neuroceutical! Pundit Zack Lynch says we're on the cusp of a major
technosocial transformation. But who will have access to what's on
offer, and will your thoughts remain your own? [T;%]

Thu.: THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week:
"Text, Lies and Internet Chat Rooms". Humans have always been meeting,
fancying, and falling for each other. Much of the time this is
completely legitimate but some of it's downright sneaky. These days,
whether it's true love or pure lust, technology is helping us get
together. [%]
Fri.: HIT MIX* - presented by Brendon Telfer. Find out what we're
