Stopped Before The Border
Today’s news that George O’Dowd (a.k.a. Boy George) has been refused entry into the U.S. is presented in some quarters as somehow humorous (lots of “karma” jokes). But the reality for many musicians trying to tour the U.S. is anything but a joke — and the reasons for their VISA denials seem frequently to be no fault of their own. Boy George, on the other hand, has apparently been denied entry (causing the cancellation of thirty some tour dates, including a few in Canada) because he is awaiting trial in the U.K. But it still points to an ongoing and tenacious post 9-11 reality. Visa problems have been encountered to an extreme degree by world music artists. And it seems also to be happening with musicians you might think would not be causing immigration authorities to blink — but are, for a myriad of reasons. It’s had an impact on some Canadian bands too, as a feature in the Boston Phoenix points out, citing internet reaction to the news that Handsome Furs were denied U.S. entry: “Pitchfork Media responded to the visa denial of Canadian duo Handsome Furs, facetiously proclaiming, ‘Three cheers for the United States, keeping freedom-hating, free-health-care-receiving heathens like Handsome Furs out of our beautiful land.’” Ah yes, those health-care receiving Handsome Furs. It’s an extremely complex issue, of course. But it’s interesting that one conclusion drawn by the Phoenix article’s author is this: “The endgame is that, in the name of making ourselves safer, we may only be further isolating ourselves from a world that already views us with suspicion.” For the full story: Immigrant Song: How U.S. Terror Policy Is Ruining Your Summer Concert Season.

Vote, For Folk’s Sake
A cheap joke, and yet so irresistible. The Canadian Folk Music Awards have announced the finalists for the first annual CFMA Classic Canadian Album Award. It’s like a Hall of Fame for major folk recordings — and your vote will decide which seminal album gets in. Here is the shortlist: Stan Rogers Fogarty’s Cove Gordon Lightfoot Lightfoot Leonard Cohen The Songs of Leonard Cohen ritage La Ronde des Voyageurs Kate and Anna McGarrigle Kate And Anna McGarrigle Tough choice. I know it’s Leonard’s year so I might lean in his direction (he’s used to that). Or maybe not, all five are fine recordings. The concept behind the award is that the test of a recording’s greatness is not so much how it stacks up when it is brand new — but how well it fares over time. Or, as the CFMA puts it: “Whether it comes to be embraced as a definitive statement of a people, culture or period.” Starting this weekend you can cast your vote at: Canadian Folk Music Awards. And of course you can also make a case for who you think should get the honour, should you wish to comment right here on the R2 blog.
One More Time, With A Bang (Or A Whimper) — Cage Match!
This week marks the final Music & Company (6 a.m.) Cage Match. And today you get another chance to weigh in when Tom poses the question: Is it better to go out with a bang or a whimper? It’s Haydn’s Farewell Symphony (the whimper) vs. the “Ah Hurrah!” chorus from Chabrier’s Le Roi Malgre Lui (the bang). So what’s it to be, a whimper or bang? Tom will put the two musically head to head today at 6:40, all you early risers, with results Friday at 7:30. Once again The Unbiased Blogger refuses to try and influence the reader in any way whatsoever. (BANG!!!)

Inspired By Gould
Last autumn ten Canadian composers wrote preludes and fugues inspired by Glenn Gould — and ten pianists performed them. Appropriately enough, it was called So You Want To Write A Fugue. Tonight on The Signal (10 p.m.) you can hear some of that music, featuring Stewart Goodyear’s effervescent Prelude And Fugue and pianist Gregory Oh’s dramatic performance of Andre Ristic’s Prelude et Fugue. And here’s your Fugue (sans prelude) Fact Of The Day: Gould, famously speaking about Bach’s Art Of Fugue, once said it was “the most extraordinary piece that a human mind ever conceived.”

Battery Recycling
The city of toronto is considering a proposal that will provide an incentive to recycle batteries, light bulbs and paint cans. Right now, the city says, only nine percent of batteries are ever recycled. Most end up in the garbage. The plan calls for a deposit fee on batteries, compact fluorescent bulbs and paint cans. Consumers would be able to take the old items to recycling depots and get their deposit back. Environmental groups like the idea, hoping the new deposit-fee program could have an impact on reducing the number of toxic materials in landfills. How do you feel about the plan? Do you want to pay another deposit? Will you take the time and trouble to recover the deposit? What’s your view?
