Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Cairo Conversations".
Not all Cairo conversations are about war. There’s getting a job, money
and marriage. Millions of young people are confused. “They are all
virgins, they have no experience of life. They fear their bodies. They
have emotions, but disturbed emotions or frustrating emotions.” Out of
the pressure cooker - a new, cool Islam is too popular for government
comfort. [T;%]

Short History of a River" - Part One. The first of two programs that

current place in Westminster Abbey, the place that became known as
Poet's Corner. So what impact did Chaucer have in his own day on
English language and poetry And what was his influence on subsequent

music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the
wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists.
About this week's show, Tim writes, "Here's a challenge - do you think
you can differentiate between music made in aust and music made o/s?
Well, I don't mean can you say one is good and the other is bad -
rather, is there an australian sound to electronic music? This week's
program will be a good test if you think you can.... I've got a pile of
local stuff and a pile of foreign stuff - I challenge you to pick any
threads that could be used to separate the tracks into two camps.... I
think they're all killers." [T;%]
1305 -
THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and
more in a show artfully arranged for radio.
[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Wed.: Mikael Marin plays the viola and Olov Johansson plays the
nyckelharpa – the keyed fiddle that is Sweden’s ‘national instrument.’
They started playing traditional music together as teenagers around
1980. In 1989, they had a jam with guitarist Roger Tallroth that was
heard by a man who said he would start a record label if the trio
recorded. The CD was called ‘Vasen,’ which became the name of the
group. They added a percussionist and expanded to a quartet, but their
latest CD, ‘Trio,’ is a glorious return to the original slant on
traditional music that the original trio had.
Thu.: Put a leading Irish instrumental ensemble in an ancient castle,
with an invited audience & a capable sound engineer, & what do you get?
In this instance the result is a “live” album with “studio” sound
quality, uninterrupted by chatter or cheers. “The Kinnitty Sessions”
finds Lúnasa in fine form. It’s not a “greatest hits” set. All cuts –
at least in their Lúnasa versions – are new. Whether delicate or
forceful, the music is deftly played on flutes, whistles, fiddle,
acoustic guitar, double bass, uillean pipes & bodhran. The menu is
mostly-Irish, occasionally Bulgarian or Scottish, & some numbers are
altogether new. Fri.: Born in Australia of an Australian father and a
Tongan mother, singers, sisters and best friends Vika and Linda Bull
came to prominence when they joined the Black Sorrows in 1988. Since
going solo in 1994 they have put out 7 CDs, the latest of which, their
first live gospel album, is called ‘Tell The Angels.’ Recorded over
12 Sundays at Melbourne’s Cornish Arms Hotels with an excellent band,
it shows that the sisters’ voices are even more supple and accurate
than before. Sharing the spotlight with Vika and Linda is the Café of
the Gate of Salvation, the Sydney choir directed by Tony Backhouse,
with ‘Deluxe,’ their first new album in 9 years.

Wed.: IN THE PIPELINE - This thirteen part radio series goes beyond
the current hype surrounding digital technology to examine the
challenges and opportunities it creates for Australia and the Asian
region. This week: "#12: E-Crime and Punishment".
Electronic crime and electronic counter measures are unavoidable
by-products of the digital era. Computer data bases linked to on-line
security systems now exist to combat every type of crime from
smuggling and terrorism to theft and embezzlement. But computer
surveillance brings with it legitimate concerns relating to both
privacy and security. And while computers are being used for law
enforcement, at the same time they are creating problems for laws
relating to copyright and intellectual property. [T;%]

the brain and human behavior with Natasha Mitchell. This week:
