FCC Indecency Rules: A Filthy Musical Review

Found via Fluxblog The netcast is part of the Imagine Festival of Arts, Issues, & Ideas.
Highlights include:
Tuesday
3 - 5pm: We've Got a Bigger Problem Now
Two hours of politically-themed punk rock from the Reagan/Bush Sr. era with Mike Lupica.
5 - 6pm: The Interactive Dubya
Got a question for our Commander in Chief or just want to get something off your chest? Call in live at 201-209-9368 and speak live with our 43rd President, or a reasonable audio facsimile thereof.
7 - 8pm: The Antique Phonograph Music Hour
An hour of patriotic and political music from the acoustic era (pre-1920).
(FM, stream and archive)
Tune in to Public Television's live coverage of the convention (on WNET Thirteen in NYC) and turn down the audio - the RNC stream will provide the alternative soundtrack.
Wednesday
1 - 2pm: Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza (Kenzo)
Bludgeoning the Unconvinced: (We don't plan to let people influence us. The hour is here.) Lyndon B. Johnson and VP Spiro Agnew speak out on war dissenters in a timely way, over rhythmic remixing of period music from the Rushmore soundtrack, and looping of a new Air piece.
3 - 5pm: Orwell Rolls In His Grave: The Audio Movie
A documentary by Robert Kane Pappas which exposes how the news we depend on has been poisoned by Orwellian newspeak. While we've all been having fun it looks like our democratic republic has evolved into a mediacracy where the fun house mirror has replaced old ideas like reason, Socratic method, and common sense. Oh well. Pass the Victory Gin... [you can see the visuals as well at the Roxie in San Francisco where the documentary is playing]

Thanks for the tip. It is great that so many stations are providning internet feeds, it makes being away from the radio transmitter much more bearable.
