dear world, what's up?

Abril 20, Tucson, AZ. El día de hoy la gente salió a las calles. Probablemente las recientes redadas en Arizona la semana pasada fueron tan sólo un ejemplo de lo que le espera al Suroeste de los Estados Unidos. Esta semana esta a punto de ser aprobada la propuesta de ley SB1070, tan sólo falta la firma de la gobernadora Jan Brewer.

people in the united states tend to disregard may day, also known as international workers' day, for a variety of reasons- apathy, indifference, fear, ignorance, fatigue, etc. it all began in 1886 and is still an important day all over the world, filled with public demonstrations against the oppression of big business and government. here in tucson there will be a march, beginning in the parking lot of the casino ballroom, 437 e. 26th st. folks will start gathering there at 9, march leaves at 10 for armory park.

A very special edition of the PCS on FRC today (and a bit of an experiment), Tucson musical luminary Amy Rude will be playing songs live in the studio, as well as picking songs from her record collection. Pierre will be picking songs from his as well and there will be insightful discussion!

This weeks show is an hour-long electro-acoustic improvisation performed by Tucson artists Glenn Weyant and Steev Hise, as they were preparing for a telematic performance on March 24 called Sonic Bridge 2.  (see http://sonicbridge.blogspot.com )
