The Monday Morning After, hosted by Taylor Tower and Cam Novak. On today’s show – The Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec and the Montreal Police are banning hip hop music in local bars. Bar owners applying for a liquor license must agree not to play or host hip hop/rap artists. Read “Dire non au hip-hop pour avoir un permis d’alcool”, published in La Presse on March 22nd to learn more. We interview Annick Maugile-Flavien – writer, radio producer and member of The Montreal Hip Hop Movement – about the ban, the movement against it, and what’s next. You can check out Annick’s work and learn more about the Montreal Hip Hop Movement by visiting her blog and joining the Facebook group.

Signed off with a time sensitive OTH / Ckut community news piece featuring poet Ehab Lotayef , excerpt below.
Freedom Waves to Gaza ships were captured last Friday. Footage of the
Israeli Defense Force hijacked the Canadian ship the Tahrir and the Irish
ship, the Saoirse was released on youtbe. The ships were carrying medical
supplies and are using this direct action tactic to disrupt the blockade.
Ehab Lotayef, montreal poet, was one of the last to be released from
Israeli prison and arrived home to Montreal Thursday night on a via rail
train. We hear from him at a press conference he gave upon arrival.

Note from producer: Ok, so, I went on a little sound art crave and decided to mix a little with the feeds and past theme songs of DN at around 7:59 then went perhaps a little too far with Margo’s second weather observation alas transmissions of broadcasting live audio art can take radio to a whole other level of sonic joy.Listen in to the highlights of Margo by going to the archives (the monday morning after show)
Btw, just a little heads up on the sound art front – CKUT’s magic soundbox will be having an event within the next coming weeks. I’ll get more talk about it within the next coming weeks.

Interview by Meghan Murphy with Samhita Mukhopadhyay from Rabble Podcast Network from:
Liz will soon update this marvelous blog, with all the musical and spoken word goodies that aired today -
which includes a classic song by one of our faves:
Pulp - “The Will To Power” from Masters of the Universe, a compilation album that grouped together the four Pulp singles released on Fire Records between 1985 and 1987 (with the exception of one track, “Silence” ) Some great news, Pulp have re-formed and will be touring throughout 2011!!! Check the link above!
Sabrina’s Secret Stash:
Today’s Secret Stash takes us to Sweden, the home of many interesting musical acts which includes Slagsmålsklubben, (often abbreviated as SMK) a Swedish electronic group from Norrköping, Östergötland. The group’s name is a comically literal Swedish translation of the title of the novel and film Fight Club.
Slagsmålsklubbencan be “classified” as synth-pop, electro-pop. I have heard other terms such as bitpop, chiptune, gamewave is also another similar term for video game music genre…But to me it’s “classified” as good, plain ol’ FUN!!!
I came across their music one day, as I was watching a fan made video of the Swedish 1960s Pippi Longstocking television series on Youtube. For those of you who are familiar with Pippi Longstocking, the beloved children books character created by Astrid Lindgren. The particular video I saw had an incredibly whimsical, synth-pop soundtrack which I soon found to be Slagsmålsklubben, and I got immediately hooked!
They have released three studio albums so far.
* Den svenske disco (2003) which translates to The Swedish Disco
* Sagan om konungens årsinkomst (2004) which translates to The Saga of the King’s Annual Income
* Boss for Leader (2007) which was recorded in Berlin, Germany
The band are recording new material and their fourth album! Looking forward to hearing it!!!
Music played from Den Svenske Disco : “Övningsköra, (Test Drive)”“Wellington Sears,” “Vi Och Olle,” “Kinematografen,” “USSR,”“SMK Hittar Munspelet, (SMK Finds the Harmonica) ” and “Tjeckien, Slovakien Och Tillba (The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Back Again)”
Check out this awesome video directed by Tomas Nilsson, an engineer’s re-interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood to the music of Slagsmålsklubben.
Tis all for this week-the music is out there, go find it!!! -S

A soirée dedicated to the first three cities to join UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network in the “design” category: Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Montreal:
These are three cities where creators of all disciplines converge. Three global hotbeds between which many creative types often travel, carrying with them ideas, images, and sounds. Three cities that are also well-known for their strong electronic-music scenes.
DESIGNER_MIX presents a hybrid program that evokes the spirit of each of these cities, while connecting the dots between the creators who live and work in them. For this evening dedicated to designers, MUTEK and the SAT join Ville de Montréal’s Bureau du design to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the city’s designation as a UNESCO City of Design.
Argentinean audio-visual artist Sol del Rio gets the ball rolling with a nuanced presentation. Next, Canadian dub-techno producer Deadbeat and world-renowned German video-artist Lillevan arrive for the world premiere of their new audio-visual collaboration. Pole returns to Montreal for his first MUTEK appearance in six years. The soirée culminates with the digital cumbia of Chancha Via Circuito.

Sabrina’s Secret Stash on Ottawa’s electro-pop duo, Boycrusher. Their only album, “Sometimes a Man…” was independently released in 2006.
“boycrusher produces shiny electropop nuggets for mind and body; ingest, and move, and ponder. The debut album, “sometimes a man…”, ensnares the dance floor in the headlights of self-reflection and managed unravelling.
boycrusher is a product of 80′s pop radio, synthesizing the best elements of New Order, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Gary Neumann, and Michael Jackson. “sometimes a man…” is built using a blend of the same original 80′s gear and sentiment. The album features guests performances by Leanda (co-hostess of About the Music on CIUT FM), Philip Shaw Bova, and Jordy Walker.
boycrusher is the creation of Michael Schultz [Hilotrons, Wax Mannequin] and Michael John Dubué[Hilotrons, Empiricals, Kepler], both active players on the Ottawa music scene. The collaboration was born after a short series of informal and largely improvised gigs arranged in 2004 by Dubué. The original lineup also included Philip Shaw Bova [Hilotrons, Empiricals] Paul Hogan [Hilotrons, Empiricals], Andrew McCormack [Clark, Woodenstars], Jeremy Gara [Kepler, Arcade Fire] and Jordy Walker. Inspired by the success of those gigs, Schultz and Dubué went on to write and record “sometimes a man…”. “
We played, “Take A Chance”, “Cigarette Boat,” “Dance the Night Away,” “President of Your Heart,” and “Video Queen”
I highly recommend, Boyrcrusher’s debut, “Sometimes A Man…” In hopes that Boycrusher will release some new material in the near future!

Sabrina’s Secret Stash : TV on the Radio (Nine Types of Light) A Tribute to bassist Gerard Smith, who sadly passed on Wednesday, April 20th 2011. He was battling lung cancer, and he was only 36 years old. Posted the following day, “We are very sad to announce the death of our beloved friend and bandmate, Gerard Smith, following a courageous fight against lung cancer,” the band said on the website. “We will miss him terribly.”
Tv on the Radio, hailing from Brooklyn, are just one of those bands you simply can not classify! often described as art rock or post-punk, but is educated by a diverse spectrum of styles including free-form jazz and acappella music, psychedelia and trip-hop, modern soul and classic ’90s indie rock, giving them a unique and original sound. Their love of different genres is more than evident throughout their five albums, “Ok Calculator” (2001), “Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes” (2004), “Return to Cookie Mountain” (2006), “Dear Science” (2008) and the newly released “Nine Types of Light.” The album recorded in Los Angeles, at band member/producer Dave Sitek’s home studio, has a very West Coast vibe! Nine Types of Light does not disappoint, in fact I suggest all their albums and eps. they are like a breath of fresh air in this often suffocatingly shallow music climate!
Rest in peace Gerard Smith, the music and memories live on! -S
Second Song, Will Do, Caffeinated Consciousness, New Cannonball Run, Keep Your Heart, You.
“Nine Types of Light is as much an album as it is a movie by TV on the Radio. The movie is meant to be a visual re-imagining of the record, and includes a music video for every song on the album. The band personally asked their friends and the filmmakers they admired to help direct the music videos. Tunde Adebimpe, the director for the full Nine Types of Light movie, storybooked the music videos together with interviews from local New Yorkers on various topics, including dreams, love, fame and the future. Tunde also directed the music video for Forgotten. Nine Types of Light, both the album and the movie are set to release on April 12, 2011.”
