“Oh the irony of Tony Abbott playing a gender card. He spent three years criticising Julia Gillard for speaking about women’s issues and the treatment of women, condemning her for talking about the treatment of women, and then he plays the gender card. The longer you stay in and around politics the less you’re surprised about the way the wheel turns.” - Craig EmersonWould he have attacked Julia Gillard if her name was spelled J-U-L-I-A-N?

Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) - Africa In Your Earbuds #53 Mix
The music on this mix comes from compilation CDs from market stalls in Marrakech, and from street musicians selling their own CDs, as well as my own field recordings of dawn and dusk prayer sounds and general Medina music/noise. Some of the music comes from the Gnawa tradition, and the low lute-like instrument you hear on some of the recordings is the Sintir or Guembri (or Gimbri or even Hejhouj), a three stringed skin-covered bassy instrument. My favourite music collected here is the opening piece (after my short field recording ends) which is performed by an unnamed (on his CD-R) musician who was playing whilst I walked down a narrow backstreet one evening on a recent visit. Despite no name, song or title information being printed on his CD-Rs he had for sale, I recently found this footage of him: and this also, where he performs the same music but in a different key. What do you think?
I also very much like the second piece, known as Maquamat, attributed to Musique Douce (which may just be the CD name), for it’s combination of soft keyboard sounds and drum machine (all in the same keyboard I imagine) along with the Oud, another lute instrument. I hope you enjoy this mix. Sorry there is not much in the way of information about performers or song names, dates of recording etc

Ken Russell: A Kitten For Hitler (2007)
Following a discussion about film censorship with British broadcaster Melvyn Bragg while they worked on The South Bank Show, Russell was challenged by Bragg to create a film which Russell himself would want banned. A Kitten for Hitler was the result of the process that followed. After Russell sent Bragg an initial draft, Bragg responded "Ken, if ever you make this film and it is shown, you will be lynched."

Paul Hartnoll - B. Traits Mix
Here's a mix I did for "Mixfluences" on B. Traits' show for BBC Radio 1. I could have gone back to industrial funk and new wave, but instead I decided to go for tracks that influenced me around the time I discovered house music 'til a few years after my success with "Chime". It was an interesting time, as it was very much a new art form made by beginners in the field all bouncing off of each other. The mix starts with The KLF from before "Chime", ending up with Hyper On Experience, whose influence showed up on Snivilisation.
