BarKanada 2.edition airs SAT, Jan 3rd 2009, 11am EST, @ tonkuhle.de

Hello again, and a very happy (and, hmmmmh, what would be most spectacular - more reasonable?) new year -

I'd like to update u a little bit:

1.
The second edition of BarKanada is scheduled to air
SAT, 3rd of January 2009, 11am-12pm EST - tune in live on the internet @

tonkuhle. de (click on "Livestream" in the right menu column)

2. I found out, that Tonkuhle artists should be receiving royalties because of German GEMA paying out entitlement depending on how much played on Tonkuhle via fm - all they need is the playlist, and that I provide... for now u can look up those details here:
rideauguide. blogspot. com

Wer hat, der kann:

Part D und E sind der schoenste Teil der Sendung. Das Lied veraenderte voellig seinen Charakter waehrend sich diese Violine hineinschleicht, absolut zeitgleich mit Lovelace, seinen Dank sagend fuer die zahlreichen Briefe ins Gefaengnis und wie die Unterstuetzung seinen Geist erheiterte.

Ich haette das nicht geplant: das Klangstueck von Tanya Tagak Gillis (vermutlich schlimme Ausprache ihres Namens) verlieh meiner Lovelace Quote eine Dynamik, die mich an einigen Stellen staunen liess. Schwierig, sich als Autor zu sehen. Fuehlt sich eher an als waere ich in der Ausfuehrung taetig, ziemlich krank ... :)

Zur Hoelle mit den Manuskripten - es lebe die Intuition!

Alright, I know this is Canada:

D and E are the most beautiful parts of this' month's edition. The song changed completely as soon as this violin (or viola?) was sneaking in, on the same split second as Lovelace is saying his thanx for all the letters to prison and how they uplift his spirit.

I couldn't have planned it: Tanya Tagak (probably overwhelmed with the pronunciation of that name) Gillis' sound piece gave my quote some dynamics that stunned me at times. Impossible to think I authored that. Feels more like I'm channeling something, pretty sick ...

2 hell with the manuscripts - long live intuition!

Thanx 4 reading and try listening 2 it - cinema for your mind is a fascinating thing ...

In terms of time management for this year I'd have only one comment:
All we're still debating is, how 2 soften up the changes. If we act now, maybe they're gonna be easier 2 survive.

New nukes will be a disaster for an economically fragile period not to speak of the relatively irreversible and permanent damage and its "bonus" features which come with the highly radioactive and hot waste, vising its capabilities as potential material for A-bombs, and, actually at the beginning of that most decadent way of getting wasted, the mining of Uranium.

Show the government where ever u can: Profit has its reasonable and crucial limits.

Oh what a wonderful place this could be, if we made it one.

Ok, back 2 work!
Thanx 4 letting me waste ur time

Bar Kanada - Musik from the inside!

Hello everybody

and thank u for contributing to my first show about Canadian musicians and the fantastic music constantly overflowing from this giant country.

My show "BarKanada" aired Wednesday, DEC 3rd, 10am EST, 4pm MEZ on the German community radio station Radio Tonkuhle (click on live stream). They broadcast in both live internet stream and fm license (also via cable). Find my playlist below ...

I am looking forward to having new as well as established artists on my show BarKanada - for now, I am publishing one hour every first Saturday (next Jan 3rd) of the month from 11am-12pm EST, 5-6pm MEZ. Deadline is the week before.

Please send your cd to Maren Molthan, BarKanada, PO Box 71, Merrickville, ON (no paper, please - epk's are ok). Info can be emailed to barkanada@gmail.com (ABSOLUTELY no attachments, unless we agree BEFORE your sending on an exception). Before coming to Ottawa or Wakefield for a gig, I would appreciate your invitation to possibly set up an interview or some live taping - after all, I'm trying to do a hip inside format...!

Priority lays with shows or artists coming to Germany.

Right now, there are no budgets whatsoever involved in the compensation for my work, if you'd like to donate, get in touch with me - helps to keep it going and no, I do not have a drug problem. In the long run I started offering this show to other radio stations in the public sector in Germany.

Constructive critique is welcome, hate mail goes straight to the Union For More Ergonomic Office Furniture. Have fun, pple, and once more thanx for talking to me.

See u next time, enjoy the festive season and rock on!

peace out MAREN

United against Harper - strategic voting explained

There are a number of sites and Facebook pages I am aware of dedicated to voting strategically to prevent a Harper majority. I agree that getting the word out to as many people as possible is essential. Here's the list I know of:

http://www.voteforenvironment.ca/
A most practical for those wishing to vote strategically. This site offers comprehensive, up-to-date riding by riding information on how to defeat Harper and his anti-environment policies. Just type in your postal code to get to your riding.

http://www.voteforclimate.ca/en/index.php
We need a government prepared to deal with global warming and pollution from fossil fuels, and ready to play a leadership role in making the world a better place. We have the power to create this government -- if we work together this election.

http://www.avaaz.org/en/
At UN negotiations, Canada has been voted the WORST country in the world on climate change 3 times! Avaaz is targeting 3 of Harper's top MPs (including Environment Minister John Baird) where it will hurt them the most -- at the grass roots. We'll beat them not by supporting any one party, but by appealing to all voters to help save the planet by voting for the candidate most likely to beat the Conservatives.

http://www.fairvote.ca/fvc_e_list_now_available
The purpose of Fair Vote Canada is to gain broad, multi-partisan support for an independent, citizen-driven process to allow Canadians to choose a fair voting system based on the principles that all voters are equal, and that every vote must count.

http://departmentofculture.ca/resources/
The Department of Culture has compiled a package of documents to help volunteers educate themselves and others about the true legacy of the Stephen Harper Conservative government.

http://anyonebutharper.ca/
A non-partisan group of Canadians appalled at the thought that Stephen Harper might form the next government of Canada. We want anyonebutHarper.ca to tell Canadians about the consequences of a Harper win, to help Canadians maximize the value of their vote on October 14, and to mobilize the creativity of anti-Harper Canadians.

http://www.thestar.com/FederalElection/article/505642
Elizabeth May thinks it's more important to vote strategic than to vote for her party!
