Melting World 7/14

From Ed Roller...

In 1976, electronic music was gaining much respect with the advent of portable synthesizers and sequencers with intergrated keyboards.

Manuel Göttsching, from the Krautrock band Ash Ra Temple, just released his groundbreaking electronic album “New Age of Earth” with a planned European tour supporting the record with Agitation Free’s Micheal Hoenig. The day before the tour was scheduled to begin they headed into the studio for one last rehearsal.

In 1994 Manuel discovered the recording of that last rehearsal and sent the tape to Micheal. He restored it and Saturday night at 10pm, in a five hour extended Melting World, featuring hardware created, sequencer based electronic music, we will play “Early Water” in its entirety, a beautiful 48 minute harmonic composition with lots of improvisation that portends the arrival of electronics, beckoning a new era in modern music.

Music that defies the parameters of time and space at WUSB 90.1 and streaming live at wusb.fm

Filmmaker Maren Poitras is FINDING THE MONEY on Tom Needham's THE SOUNDS OF FILM

Get ready to embark on a thought-provoking journey with "FINDING THE MONEY," where American economist Stephanie Kelton explores the controversial world of Modern Money Theory (MMT). Kelton challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding the National Debt Clock, arguing that the ever-increasing numbers we see are not a burden on taxpayers or future generations.

Dr. Stephen Loyd on Play It Forward

From the team at Play It Forward:

Tune in Friday, 6/14, at 1 PM to WUSB.FM, 90.1 & 107.3 FM to a special episode of Play It Forward. We had the honor to interview Dr. Stephen Loyd, the doctor who inspired Michael Keaton’s ‘Dopesick’ character.

Dr. Loyd is the Chief Medical Officer at Cedar Recovery in Nashville, TN. Recognized as an Advocate for Action by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Dr. Loyd’s dedication to educating others on addiction and treatment is evident through over five hundred lectures on opioid use disorder and proper prescribing of controlled substances.
Dr. Loyd has been in recovery from opioid and benzodiazepine addiction since July 8, 2004. Dr. Loyd shares his personal story and connects his successful recovery to the social determinants of health. The experience galvanized him to move into addiction treatment and policy work. Dr. Loyd is now the medical director of a large addiction treatment facility in Nashville and works at an inner-city rehabilitation facility serving indigent women.
Since his recovery, Dr. Loyd has dedicated his energy toward not only addiction treatment but also influencing public health policies.

We discuss important information and resources regarding the fentanyl/opioid crisis, recovery and prevention! Thank you for listening!
