No Canada

This week's show was somewhat of a Canada Day edition with some Nihilist Spasm Band to set things off.  However, I would have to say my favourite part of this show was how well the Paul Bowles piece worked layered against UUUUUU.  Layering spoken word with ambient/experimental sounds has been something I have done on the show before and it is always exciting to see how things work out in the live setting.  Paul Bowles was celebrated for his contributions as a composer and later as a writer and traveler who drew many other writers and artists to Morocco along with his wife, Jane.  Jane Bowles also tops my list as one of my favourite female authors.  You can find audio material by Paul Bowles, including what was played on the show, on ubu.com here completely for free.  Just to mention that "UbuWeb is a completely independent resource dedicated to all strains of the avant-garde, ethnopoetics, and outsider arts." The site offers an endless amount of material and is a great resource.
