Radio - Sunday, May 12th, 2013

The show starts out with a Justn Ludwig interview. Justin just released a feature length film on evangelist hardcore called "Christ Core". Justin was in Toronto last Saturday and we spoke to hm before his first screening where he was here in town doing a series of Q & As on his film. I was a little excited to talk to him about his film and wound up cutting him off a little to many times, but he was a good sport about trying to answer my recollections about his film. He is a super nice guy and you can read more about his film on Facebook. You can also download the show as an MP3 file.

I was listening to "Democracy Now" on Saturday and they did a feature on the MOVE bombing that took place on Mother's Day in 1985. I was looking for songs based around the interview with Ramona Africa and the other interviews with Angela Davis and Mumia Abu-Jamal. The first song was a specch by Angela Davis at Convocation Hall the night the first Gulf War was launched. I wish I had Anti-Flag's "Mumia's Song" and I mis cued the Propagandhi song which used a COINTELPRO reference. But Aus Rotten's song is an understatement of Ramona Africa's assessment which was a campaign of extermination.
