First Wave Radio #88 - Bad Management = Bad Tenant

I believe in top down thinking.  On a micro scale if you rent in a building and your neighbours have little respect for you, it's really the building management to blame.  I hate to think that we are sheep, but we react according to our environment.  If someone doesn't respect the common areas like hallways and elevators, they probably don't respect the management, and hence has a negative effect on the rest of the tenants.  

Work places are the same.  Governments running countries are the same. The top creates societal norms.  Everything from opening doors for people behind you to corruption is a meme that is passed on quickly to all levels of people.  

So let's be true to our virutes and values and not be so impressionable.  We all have the power to change the world for the better.

First Wave Radio #85 - Bring It Back!

Lets bring it back to the days when the MC was the DJ and the DJ was the Selectah.  When a second mortgage was unthinkable.  When real men went about their jobs without complaining.  

When we went to our jobs working for each other and for our country, instead of being disposible labour.

Bring me back to the days when unions worked with the corporations and away from the days when our employers take advantage of our helplessness and needs to put food on the table.

First Wave Radio #83 - Sabbatical 1 Jazz

There was a time long ago when I couldn't afford to buy my dad a gift for his birthday, and all I had were 2 turntables, 2 crates of his Jazz records and a CD recorder.  I spent a few months sifting through all the records and made a spreadsheet of all the tracks; I took the ones I liked and more importantly made a Jazz Mix out of it for my dad.  Don't mind the fact that out of those 2 crates I narrowed in on only a handful of artists, so enjoy.

I am taking a musical Sabbatical for an episode.  Jazz this month.
