A couple of choice selections courtesy of the CBC. First some selections from 120seconds.com: A great piece on what it is to be a DJ. It has extensive interviews with Vancouver DJs going over the history, the technique, and what it takes to become a DJ. Also from BC, a story about the problems of first past the post voting systems vs. proportional representation, as well as an overview of an action taken on the BC government by those who feel that the overwhelming majority does not reflect their views.
On the lighter side, we have two flash animations, first a piece called 'The Thing in my Hat,' one that has a certain fondness for cats. The second, also with a cat theme, explains why Sally can't seem to keep her boyfriends.
CBC Radio 3 features two artists that caught my attention this week. Eric Etheridge has a show of signs called "Sky Hi: Small Signs" that he has encountered in his travels. Shary Boyle has a piece featuring pictures and text of experiences growing up with other girls.
Finally, a piece on the 20 years of programming the radio show Brave New Waves. I put this in almost only because of the interview that they have with Allen Ginsburg, although there are many other great ones here.
