Impact". Pauline Newman previews "Deep Impact", an exciting NASA
venture to Comet Tempel 1. Launched on 8 January next year, it will be
the first mission to inspect a comet. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "That Was the Year That Was". Three astute

Stephen Mayne, join Terry Lane to review the main issues of 2004 – in
state and federal politics, business and foreign policy. And "The Piano
in Emergency". Dr Cameron Roberts, who plays the piano in the emergency

affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Chemical Consequences".
Some batches of 245-T were made from contaminated ingredients of Agent
Orange illegally imported into
Queensland and Western Australia during the Vietnam War. This kind of
common weedkiller was used until the early 1990s. Now at least one
state government is finally confronting the effects. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week: "The
Golden Builders of Carlton". Today Carlton is a smart address in
Melbourne. But in the late 1960s and 1970s much of it was almost

residents hadn't put up a very big fight. [%]

house, not a dj was stirring..... except j boogie. And this excellent
dj set is offered for listening pleasure and as an aid to gift
wrapping. There is a fantastic list of artists and tracks in this
"live" made mix.... no multi-tracking or second chances in this set.

and afro beats." [T;%]

THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) with jazz, blues,

[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: 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 LPs from 1978 & 1980.
Tue.: Fado is the national music of Portugal which dates back to the
early 19th century, making it one of the oldest surviving forms of the
many musical styles that resulted from the mixing of European and
African cultures. Fado was almost killed by the dictatorship that ruled
Portugal until the mid-'70s, using the music as a propaganda weapon.
It’s a testament to the music’s emotional power that the younger
generation has now embraced it again. “The Rough Guide To Fado”
features 20 fine Fado musicians, from up and coming 20 somethings to
the music’s queen, the late Amalia Rodrigues.
Wed./Thu.: As Christmas draws nigh, we review the very best music to
reach us in 2004. Today's is the first of three successive editions.
Fri.: Merry Christmas! Today's is the third of three successive
editions in which we review the very best music to reach us in 2004.

industrial port cities. Glasgow invested heavily in public housing from

been spent on properties that were so poorly built and maintained that
they were essentially worth nothing. The solution was radical - give
them to the tenants! [%]
