SUMMARY:"The Trouble With Music" with Author Mat Callahan
DESCRIPTION:Mat Callahan’s The Trouble with Music (2005) explores the crisis facing music. The signs are everywhere\, from the saturation of public space by tuneful trivia to the digital downloading controversy. Quantity has replaced quality. The number of units sold is now the criteria by which music is judged and high-gloss\, mass-produced\, low-content music is everywhere. You can’t shop\, eat\, ride a bus or see a movie without hearing it as each day you are inundated with enticements to buy it. Like the replacement of essential nutriment by junk food\, music lovers are expected to surrender their critical faculties and consume the phony McMusic that can be more effectively controlled and profitably sold than the genuine article. Callahan unravels and elucidates the crises facing music as well as its liberatory potential.  \n\n\n\nThe Trouble with Music includes discussions of: technology and its effects on music making and listening; superabundance and the absence of critical thought; the development of radio; music criticism; copyright; the digital domain and the Internet; labor and music making; and the special relationships among words\, dance\, politics and music. A large segment of the general public seeks a relationship to music and an exceptional profit for those who own and control it. Callahan provides a means of evaluating music and a powerful critique of the music industry. Whether you whistle at work\, sing in the shower or conduct concertos\, this book will challenge and enhance how you think about music. Includes introductions by musician and Dischord Records founder\, Ian Mackaye; Rock and Rap Confidential editor\, Dave Marsh; and an afterward by Boff\, from the multimillion selling group Chumbawamba. Mat Callahan has been a composer\, musician\, engineer and producer for 40 years.

SUMMARY:"Quantum Leaps" with Video Curator Astria Suparak
DESCRIPTION:Quantum leap\, a physics term deriving from the mid 1900s indicating significant and swift advances (originally via a sudden shift in energy within an atom)\, became the title of an early 1990s American television series featuring a time traveling\, body-swapping\, do-gooder scientist. In 2006 this inspirational screening of new video follows suit\, cataloguing heroes\, compressing history\, and hallucinating futures. The Quantum Leaps program\, curated and presented by Astria Suparak\, features videos by Daniel Barrow\, Philippe Blanchard\, Dearraindrop\, Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby\, Jim Finn\, Caroline Koebel\, J. Macdonell\, Jim Munroe\, Liz Rosenfeld\, Seth Price\, Andy Puls. Also exhibited are silk-screened posters\, journals\, zines by: Celebrate People’s History\, Lady Scientist\, LTTR.

SUMMARY:Prometheus Radio Project Presents "The Spectrum Roadshow"
DESCRIPTION:The creation of the Low Power FM radio service stands as one of the greatest successes in recent efforts for grassroots media reform. As a result\, hundreds of new low power community stations are broadcasting that otherwise would not be—operated by civil rights groups\, schools\, farmworker organizations\, environmentalists\, cultural organizations\, and others. Low power radio has allowed nonprofits in the United States to re-imagine and revitalize their relationship with media; and this has set the stage for a dramatic expansion of civil society into the world of radio station operations. The Prometheus Radio Project was founded in 1998 by activists working within social change movements such as housing\, environmentalism\, health care\, anti-war\, and criminal justice reform. The success of these movements was limited by corporations’ ownership and control of media\, who used their power to suppress debate on vital issues. Prometheus continues to support dozens of low power stations with their day-to-day operations. We have helped over a hundred groups to apply for full power radio licenses in the 2007 filing opportunity\, and assisted dozens in the 2010 application window. Over 120 interns and volunteers have worked with Prometheus over the past 10 years\, emerging as community leaders and activists in the fight for participatory media.

SUMMARY:Bread and Puppet Theater Presents: "How to Turn Distress Into Success: A Parable of War and Its Making"
DESCRIPTION:How to Turn Distress into Success: A Parable of War and its Making is a funny\, poignant\, radical\, occasionally violent response to the 9/11 attacks\, filtered through the coolest puppets you’ll ever see. It’s a layered event; a commentary on a puppet administration\, put on by puppet masters who\, more than just about anyone\, know exactly what it means to be anything but.

SUMMARY:"Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage" with Filmmaker and Author Heather Rogers
DESCRIPTION:Author and filmmaker Heather Rogers will screen her documentary on the political history of rubbish in the United States\, “Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage” and talk about her new book of the same name. Every day a phantasmagoric rush of spent\, used and broken riches flows through our homes\, offices\, and cars. The U.S. is the planet’s number one producer of garbage\, and over the past 30 years America’s garbage output has doubled. Rogers explains that\, despite popular wisdom\, this torrent of trash is not primarily the responsibility of the individual consumer\, instead it’s the outcome of a free market system that needs waste to maintain high consumption levels. To understand the roots of today’s waste-addicted culture\, Rogers examines the grisly\, oddly fascinating underworld of trash.
