1. Late delivery of WRTH
Posted by: "Sean Gilbert, International Editor - WRTH" sean.gilbert@o2.co.uk g4ucj
Date: Sat Feb 7, 2009 7:50 am ((PST))
I have noticed that quite a few people are/have had problems with the
delivery of WRTH2009. The publisher is also aware of this and has asked me
to send the following explanation:
"We are very sorry for the delay in shipping of WRTH 2009 by Amazon.com.
Copies of the book reached the Port of New York on December 16. They were
trucked from there in a sealed container direct to the distribution center
in Virginia, USA. They should, and could easily have been, released from
there before Christmas. For some reason they did not get released
*officially* until January 15. We think they were actually released on
February 2.
We are aware that the late delivery to Amazon has also had an impact on
readers and clubs all over the world who ordered from Amazon.com or from
websites who do so.
This is the worst distribution performance ever in any country for any
edition of WRTH. Next year we will be using a different distribution system.

Transcultural Music Review
#10 (2006) ISSN:1697-0101
Abstract
One of the most startling aspects of musical culture in the post-Cold War
United States is the systematic use of music as a weapon of war. First
coming to mainstream attention in 1989, when US troops blared loud music
in an effort to induce Panamanian president Manuel Norriega's surrender,
the use of "acoustic bombardment" has become standard practice on the
battlefields of Iraq, and specifically musical bombardment has joined
sensory deprivation and sexual humiliation as among the non-lethal means
by which prisoners from Abu Ghraib to Guantanamo may be coerced to yield
their secrets without violating US law.
The very idea that music could be an instrument of torture confronts us
with a novel—and disturbing—perspective on contemporary musicality in the
United States. What is it that we in the United States might know about
ourselves by contemplating this perspective? What does our government's
use of music in the "war on terror" tell us (and our antagonists) about
ourselves?
This paper is a first attempt to understand the military and cultural
logics on which the contemporary use of music as a weapon in torture and
war is based. After briefly tracing the development of acoustic weapons in
the late 20th century, and their deployment at the second battle of
Falluja in November, 2004, I summarize what can be known about the theory
and practice of using music to torture detainees in Afghanistan, Iraq and
Guantanamo. I contemplate some aspects of late 20th-century musical
culture in the civilian US that resonate with the US security community's
conception of music as a weapon, and survey the way musical torture is
discussed in the virtual world known as the blogosphere. Finally, I sketch
some questions for further research and analysis.

"We have submitted our documents for WOL (Wire Operator's Licence) through
the ministry of telecommunications and information technology. If things
go on as planned, we should be on air by March," he added.
St Aloysius College will be the first educational institution in Dakshina
Kannada to have CRS.

5. PUNE, INDIA: Pre-Independence radio station gets recognition
Posted by: "George Lessard" media@web.net themediamentor

[India's first community radio station?]
Pre-Independence radio station gets recognition
26 Jan 2009, 0446 hrs IST, TNN
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Pune/Pre-Independence_radio_station_gets_recognition/articleshow/4031295.cms
PUNE: The Akhil Mandai Mandal on Saturday inaugurated a giant information
hoarding on the underground radio station that thrived at a vada behind
Mandai during the pre-Independence period. The board contains a
description of the radio station where freedom fighters, including Jay
Prakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohiya, Yousuf Meher Ali, Achyutrao
Patwardhan, delivered speeches during the Quit India Movement. In November
1942, the first announcement of the Swatantra Bharat Nabhowani Kendra was
made from this station.
Bhola Wanjale of the Akhil Mandai Mandal said, "People have forgotten
about this landmark incident in the history of the city and to rekindle
the knowledge, we have put up the board. We want people how this place is
historically important."
The radio station survived until the police arrested its members in a
crackdown following a blast at the Capitol theatre on January 24, 1943.

6. US: The Torture Playlist (audio) motherjones.com

http://www.motherjones.com/news/featurex/2008/03/torture-playlist.html
This portion of a special feature on U.S. torture discusses how "[m]usic
has been used in American military prisons and on bases to induce sleep
deprivation, 'prolong capture shock,' disorient detainees during
interrogations -- and also drown out screams." Provides list and sound
clips of "some of the songs that guards and interrogators chose" to use
at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. From the website for Mother Jones magazine.
UPDATE (March 4): Listen to investigative reporter Justine Sharrock
explain why the Meow Mix jingle, Neil Diamond, and the Barney theme song
all lend themselves to "no-touch torture." Plus: How Metallica reacted
when they found out how their music was being used. —By Gary Moskowitz
