Sonic Café that’s Donald Fagen with Florida Room from 1993, so hey welcome to the café, I’m you host Scott Clark and this is episode 357. This time the Sonic Café features the hilarious Shayne Smith with a true story about a local Florida man who robbed a Wendy’s fast food restaurant, in something we’re calling, It Could Only Happen in Florida. Funny stuff. Musically we’ve lined up a mix of alternative, southern and punk rock, plus latin house, downtempo jazz and more pulled from the last 44 years. Listen Haim, Gator Country from Molly Hatchet, Strike Boys with Vida La Revolucion, Queen, Cheap Trick, Against Me, the Dining rooms and of course many more as the Sonic Café swings through a local fast food drive thru with, it could only happen in Florida, from our little radio café way out here on the Pacific Coast. From 2021 this is Portugal the Man, and we’re the Sonic Café.
Norie Neumark is an audio and installation artist who teaches in Australia. Jobs for the Girls - What Do You See When You Look in the Mirror? - is her documentary about women who don't fit the anglo stereotype of blond, Barbie-like beauty, and the pressure to change from their own culture of origin's appearance norms. The "jobs" on offer include nose jobs and boob jobs - but also the jobs that are easier to get if you look and sound like the dominant race. Produced in 1991 and previously featured on New American Radio, Jobs for the Girls was updated by the producer in 2023 for WINGS.

With the help of a camera, especially a digital camera, and the internet we may now see portions of what other people see and have sent our way or perhaps have made public. Sometime soon I hope to present some visual images I think are special, in addition to the sound images you can hear, here on the Radio Curious website. In preparation for creating those images, I found my way to an intriguing photography website called www.kenrockwell.com. This website has many references about cameras, how to choose and use them, and it also tells the story of a man who freely shares his knowledge and skills about photography. After reading his website, I invited Ken Rockwell to join us for a conversation about photography, cameras, websites and the use of the internet. Ken Rockwell and I visited by phone in early May, 2006, from his home near San Diego, California. For him, good photography narrows down to seeing better, which he describes to be more of a feeling than an actual momentary vision.

"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.
Alice Nsabimana and family collaborated to produce a seminal text, published by Baraka Books, that presents a vital picture of a Rwandan family at a time of political crisis in the Great Lakes region of Africa, a picture that shatters all the cliched shallow journalism about that tragic country. The book also provides never before words and notes of General Nsabimana which should cause a rethinking by all the usual "experts" on what occurred in that country as it defended against RPF invasion from Uganda. If you want to know the reality, the real story, read this book.
Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner, Andy Stuhl, Jess Speer, and Jos Alejandro Rivera. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.
