The World's Toughest Microphone?

For a fun time, check out this exploration in microphone abuse on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33QPLbQi9FI

The mike being beat up is the legendary Shure SM-58, the vocal mike of
choice for every basement band (and even a lot of them that make it to the
concert stage)

Enjoy it, but be very skeptical. A few things I can believe .. using it as
a hammer, dropping it from a balcony onto concrete, putting it in the
freezer is believeable. Maybe even the part where they put it head-down in
a jar of water.

The less believeable part starts when they run over it twice with a car
(small car, Toyota). The mesh gets dented and the video producers say there
is a slight difference in sound quality (how "slight" is it, folks? At this
point I wondered how critical their ears are ..)

Explicit Music Banned from Jamaica Electronic Media

KINGSTON, Jamaica: The Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica, the watchdog
over the island's electronic media, has banned radio and television
stations from airing songs with content deemed explicitly sexual and
violent, even if concealed by bleeps.

The Jamaica Gleaner reported that the Commission said dancehall songs that
qualify as "daggering" content -- the rapidly emerging culture of
quasi-erotic dances and music -- will also be outlawed from the airwaves.

"We must work together to stop enriching people like Vybz Kartel who
create filth and are then paid when they release it on the public. The
corporate giants in this nation who are promoting such filth need to come
into the schools and see what is happening to the minds of the young,"
wrote Tyson, principal of the co-ed school, Ardenne High.

The Broadcasting Commission has come under pressure in recent months as
complaints mounted, particularly in print media, that the organisation
should ramp up its policing of the airwaves and sanction stations
breaching the Television and Sound Broadcasting Regulations.

African peasants paint their mobile phone number over their front doors.
Indian slum dwellers buy SIM cards to use on friends' handsets. Chinese
students spend three months' allowance on a phone they can use to surf the
web. Once almost the exclusive domain of rich countries, the mobile
revolution has swept through the developing world. An estimated 3.8
billion people, or half the world's population, own a mobile, and most of
the growth is taking place in the global South. This has deep implications
for the media, but the change has been so rapid that it has completely
overtaken most media outlets - they are struggling to digest its impact.

The Promise of Ubiquity was commissioned by Internews Europe in order to
help the media to understand the exciting potential, the incredible
challenges and the perils of refusing to change. What kind of information
services can be carried on the mobile now and in the next five years? Is
the mobile viable as an information channel even when many new users may
be illiterate? There may be few right answers, but author John West
provides a roadmap on how to navigate through the brave new world of
mobile telephony. West suggests a checklist of useful questions and of
some best practices which have emerged so far.

Through interviews with leaders in the field – software engineers and
designers, journalists, and businessmen – the book examines current and
future trends, from the dominance of SMS texting to mobile Web, and
suggests approaches on how media outlets can negotiate with network
operators as well as decide what services to offer.

"A lot of the most interesting innovation in mobiles
is coming from the South - financial transactions,
M-government and so on." - Ken Banks, FrontlineSMS

Innovator case studies:

"What the mobile medium allowed was the creation of a news service at a
very low cost. We have got to the stage where we are now challenging the
established media here." Chamath Airyadasa is a Sri Lankan journalist who
set up his own news organisation using texts, called Jasmine News Wire. As
of mid-2008 JNW had around 100,000 subscribers paying 30 US cents a month
across Sri Lanka's four mobile phone networks to receive a news alerts
service.

"The idea really was to write software that could get information out and
get information back over the mobile phone." Ken Banks developed
FrontlineSMS in 2005 after realizing that the mobile was beginning to make
inroads into rural regions of Africa, where the Internet was still
non-existent. FrontlineSMS is a free-to-use SMS server program which when
installed on a computer allows it to use an attached mobile phone to
structure text messages out and back. It is now in use in over 50
countries. Some current uses include monitoring of Nigeria's elections in
2007 by activists, delivering crop prices to farmers in Aceh, Indonesia,
health care services in Malawi, news alerts in Iraq, and security news for
NGO workers in Afghanistan.

"Particularly in the health sector, we are seeing many organisations
preparing to use SMS as a kind of instant expert service." Bobby Soriano
is a programmer and activist based in Manila who has been working on SOS
SMS, a service for Filipinos working abroad. The service has evolved
quickly from dealing only with emergency calls into a broader information
service which handles any kind of query from the hundreds of thousands of
Filipinos working in the Gulf region and elsewhere.
Internews ahead of the technology curve

Internews Europe has been on the forefront of media work with mobile
phones in the South. It set up text messaging services for journalists in
the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Java, Indonesia in 2006.
Since then, it has continued to innovate with mobile use in emergency
response situations as well as in closed country environments.

John West has pioneered use of new technologies for media applications in
developing countries since running instant message chats live from Baghdad
in December 1998 to 14,000 AOL users during US bomb attacks. In 1999, he
won the prestigious European Internet Journalist of the Year award given
by City University in London. From 2002 to 2004, he led an Internews
project in Afghanistan which established 30 FM radio stations around the
country, fully digitised and linked by satellite to production networks.
In 2008, he introduced mobile phone-based information services in Iraq by
evolving a system of real-time news alerts over SMS with a national news
agency.

Community radio stations to be set up for farmers
8 Feb 2009, 0538 hrs IST, Sanjeev Kumar Verma, TNN


PATNA: Farmers in Bihar would soon have their first brush with community
radio. To be set up under the Agriculture Technology Management Agency
(ATMA) Project of Union ministry of agriculture, the community radio would
air programmes catering to the needs of the farming community.

Apart from airing informative programmes about the latest farming
practices and the precaution the farmers should take to safeguard their
standing crops, programmes based on lives of successful farmers of a given
area would also be aired. Then, the community radio would provide
localised weather reports.

In the first phase, three such community radio stations would come up at
Krishi Vikas Kendra (KVK) Birauli in Samastipur, KVK Barh in Patna and KVK
Jamui. The Union ministry has provided over Rs 31 lakh for each such radio
station out of which about 14 lakh would be spent on equipment and the
balance amount would be spent on the programming head and recurring
expenditure.

"Community radio is going to play a very positive role for farmers, as it
would be localised in nature, with its service area limited to the
surrounding areas only and farmers would get area specific inputs for
improving the farming practices," said Bihar Agricultural Management &
Extension Training Institute (BAMETI) director R K Sohane. BAMETI is the
state level co-ordinator for implementation of ATMA project in the state.

He said that the funds for the said radio stations have already been
received and BAMETI has applied to the ministry of information and
broadcasting for licences for starting the community radio stations.
"Vigilance teams have already visited the sites where radio stations would
be set up. Hence, we are expecting the licences very soon," Sohane added.

BAMETI, meanwhile, has started work on deciding the programme contents
which would be aired daily for two hours. "KVK scientists and those from
the agriculture university as well as successful farmers would play a
major role in preparing these programmes," he said and added that local
soil and climatic conditions would be given due weightage while giving any
information to the farmers through these programmes.

Incidentally, the proposed community radio stations would be first of its
kind in Bihar as far as farmers' centric programmes are concerned. In the
southern states as well as in the neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, experiments
with community radio has proved to be very beneficial. "Farmers of these
states have appreciated the move and we expect similar kind of response in
Bihar as well," Sohane said.

"Farmers in Bihar would soon have their first brush with communityradio."


"Apart from airing informative programmes about the latest farming practices and the precaution the farmers should take to safeguard their standing crops, programmes based on lives of successful farmers of a given area would also be aired. Then, the community radio would provide localised weather reports."

It is really wonderful (I don't think, just in case the strength of my irony is lost on some Gentle Readers) that these 3 stations will provide the kind of programming that numerous public service stations could not in sixty years of independent broadcasting.

For the information of listmembers who are not familiar with India, the country has had over 300 stations set up following the declaration of independence in 1947, and while it can be no one's case that they are sufficient, each of India's (now 30) states (semi-autonomous administrative and political regions) have multiple stations. Bihar was once one of the biggest and most populous states, but was truncated a couple of years back to create an independent hill state, that ought to be more attuned to the needs of hill people.

The community media movement in India almost completely functions on its own, with some non-financial support from groups like AMARC, Open Access and so on. This contrasts quite remarkably with the funding and organisation of special interest groups, including USIA, BBC and others, who have been nudging India's non-government media towards privatisation.

It surprises me that virtually none of the global independent community movements have found it interesting to help India's local counterparts work in a more focused manner, to build up visible, vocal and vote-worthy support, that could actually see radio (to begin with: terrestrial television is also a fairly accessibly media form for much of India's potential audience, 70 per cent of whom live in non-urban areas) be taken seriously by the bureaucrats (and their so-called political masters) who continue to strangle it.

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.

I can only apologise for the distribution problems from Amazon. You can
order direct from our website http://www.wrth.com as well as your usual
sources.

Music as torture / Music as weapon

http://www.sibetrans.com/trans/trans10/cusick_eng.htm

Revista Transcultural de Música
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.

College to have radio station by March
Times of India - India

MANGALORE: The St Aloysius College will commence its community radio
station (CRS) operations -Sarang - by March this year.

According to Fr Richard Rego, head of the department of mass communication
and journalism, the college has signed the GOPA (grant of permission
agreement) with the ministry of information and broadcasting on Thursday.

"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.

It has been allotted 107.8 MHZ frequency and will air news in a 15-km
radius through its 50 Watt transmitter.

5. PUNE, INDIA: Pre-Independence radio station gets recognition
Posted by: "George Lessard" media@web.net themediamentor
Date: Sat Feb 7, 2009 8:42 am ((PST))

[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
Posted by: "George Lessard" media@web.net themediamentor
Date: Sat Feb 7, 2009 8:51 am ((PST))

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
