Movie Night

What: Vinylmania and The Cygnets
When: Thursday, April 19th
Movie starts at 7pm, band starts around 10pm
Where: Dickens Pub (1000 9th Street SW)
Why: First 20 people get a CJSW limited edition vinyl

A trip into the grooves, Vinylmania is a 75 minute feature length documentary about an object that has never lost its soul: the vinyl record. An epic love story, the film is filled with fascinating characters and internationally recognized artists including PHILIPPE COHEN SOLAL (Gotan Project), WINSTON SMITH (Dead Kennedys, Green Day record sleeve artist), PETER SAVILLE (Joy Division, New Order record sleeve artist) and DJ KENTARO (2002 DMC World DJ Champion).

Devotion, ecstasy, infatuation, agony – all feelings that the director of the film, Paolo Campana, has experienced from childhood and shares with like-minded record collectors, Djs, musicians and artists (the said vinylmaniacs) in the documentary. Set in 11 different cities and 7 countries worldwide, the director sets out on a global road trip to find out what role vinyl records play in the 21st century.

Stick around for the phenomenal Cygnets band from Edmonton. They’re bringing their infectious synth-pop dance music down to the pub.

In the lead-up to the 2012 Alberta Provincial Election taking place on April 23rd, CJSW volunteers have been attending all-candidate forums recorders in hand. Excerpts of the forums will be broadcast on CJSW Presents… Tuesday mornings from 11am until noon. Below are the un-cut recordings of the forums. If you know of a provincial election forum that you would like a CJSW volunteer to record contact CJSW News Director Marc Affeld: news@cjsw.com. Remember to check back here to listen to recordings of more forums as they come in!

March 8th, is International Women’s Day. CJSW is proud to be the home of Yeah, What She Said!: Calgary’s only feminist/women’s radio program. Each week your hosts Jennie, Geea and Allison explore various issues that affect women locally, nationally and globally.

Homeless Women in Canada

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Jennie and Allison interview Susan Scott, an author and advocate for homeless women in Canada, and Cindy, a formerly homeless woman. A few years ago Susan wrote the book All Our Sisters: Stories of Homeless Women in Canada. The book inspired the first national conference on homelessness and women in 2011, and it also inspired a new housing project for low income women in Calgary. Topics discussed in this interview include reasons why women become and stay homeless, specific dangers and issues homeless women face, and the services and tools needed to help keep women off the streets.

On Tuesday morning we found out that beloved Calgary guitarist Chris Reimer passed away in his sleep. CJSW’s thoughts and best wishes are with his family and friends. We are so glad to have known such a wonderful human being and to have been able to enjoy and share his creative offerings with the world. Tune in to CJSW for special tributes to Chris and his band Women.

His sister is keeping a memorial blog to save the memories, stories and condolences.

Also, Women’s label Flemish Eye have put up a great piece for him with some of his solo work.

The host of Alternative Radio will be in Calgary on March 2nd as a part of the Calgary Public Library’s celebration of Freedom to Read Week.

March 2^nd
7 – 8:30 p.m.
Doors will open at 6:30

John Dutton Theatre

Central branch, 616 Macleod Trail SE

Language & Politics: Orwell’s World & Ours

Language is central in framing and informing political debate and in shaping public opinion. Join David Barsamian, founder of Alternative Radio, as he helps to celebrate Freedom to Read Week. David will look at the ongoing relevance of some of Orwell’s concerns, particularly the use of euphemisms and the passive voice, as they relate to the world of contemporary journalism and reporting.
