REBROADCAST Tuesday at 8am

Due to a technical glitch, the Plight of the Uighurs has been rescheduled for this week. The NY Times did a feature this past Saturday. This commentary appeared in the LA Times and Wash Post on Sunday.

Thursday, July 16th at 7pm on KRUU-FM, the Tanner & Moore show will focus on the ethnic unrest in Western China that erupted last week. China admits 184 people died, over 1100 were wounded and more than 1500 arrests followed from three days of rioting. (Some Uighers dispute these offical numbers.) Joining the discussion from Washington DC will be Henryk Szadziewski of the Uyghur Human Rights Project, an organization that works closely with Rebiya Kadeer, the woman China accuses of masterminding the uprising, which she denies.

Join cohosts James Moore and Stuart Tanner for a discussion on the worst rioting seen in China, some say, since 1949. Tanner, who spent time undercover in the Muslim-majority province producing an award-winning documentary film for BBC's Channel 4, "Death on the Silk Road," will share his personal experiences.

On July 23, Tanner & Moore will be interviewing Prof. Dru Gladney, who is President of the Pacific Basin Institute at Pomona College, a research foundation widely recognized for its work enhancing understanding of nations of the Pacific Rim. Author of four books and more than 50 academic articles and book chapters on topics spanning the Asian continent, Gladney appears regularly on CNN and has written for BBC World News.

That's Thursday night, 7pm on Tanner & Moore: Plight of the Uighers of East Turkestan. (pronounced: Weegers).  read more »

In the mid-1990s, the brothers DJ Paul Godfrey and multi-instrumentalist Ross Godfrey formed Morcheeba (photo), one of UK's most enduring bands that mixes an engaging blend of down-tempo blues, rock and electronica.... just the kind of music that we like on Fringe Toast! Tonight, you will hear tracks from their recently released CD called "Dive Deep" with French singer Manda on vocals. With Morcheeba, you can count on Ross Godfrey's trippy, dreamy guitar work to provide a mellow edge.

(See original program playlist dated 11/12/08)
On this week's show DJ Andy Bargerstock begins to insert what he calls, "endslices" which are short instrumental bridges between music tracks. See if you can identify the Pink Floyd bridges tonight. In future programs, you will enjoy more endslices from the Fringe Toast loaf.  read more »

HENRY F. POTTER

It’s all so obvious once you see it:

Harry Potter is the grandson of Henry F. Potter.

Believed by the Muggle residents of Bedford Falls, New York, to be an ordinary, if curmudgeonly banker, Henry “Black Dog” Potter was legendary throughout the wizarding world as a warlock of great skill and the earliest tutor in the Dark Arts to young Tom Riddle, later known as Lord Voldemort.

Just look at the photos of young Henry F. Potter on the right and Harry on the left. See the resemblance?  read more »

Knee deep in dirty water
Lessons always seem to come hard
For the teacher's middle daughter
~Kim Brown, Knee Deep

Kim Brown is a Canadian singer-songwriter with a fantastic sound. Her rocking tunes are full of heart and soul and backed by a variety of instruments: acoustic & electric guitar, bass, piano, synths, and more, even viola! The catchy hooks have me grooving my head to the beat and hitting the repeat button over and over. Her bio says she has written hundreds of songs and has professionally recorded since the 1980’s. I'll feature Kim on Lyrical Venus this morning with a set of four of her great songs!

This group of pond pirates from the Wolverine State has joined the KRUU and has been known to tune in Irving Toast, Poetry Ghost via the interwebs on a lazy summer's day. Hooray! What cometh? This Sunday/Monday we have a remastered Annie Finch interview airing (the sound has been blended so we no longer have Annie in one speaker and me in the other). Weeks forth: an interview with local legend, Bill Graeser, and then the week after that a fun program where the ghosts take over and read their poems: Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, John Crowe Ransom, Marianne Moore and T. S. Eliot-- all recorded by the Library of Congress in the 1950's. Vintage vintage.
