M Is FOR MASHUP - April 26th, 2017
6 Beatles DJ's Over 6 Hours Radio Shows
From DJ Useo
These are the 6 sets as heard during the Big BRG Broadcast from the chaps at Beatles Remixers Group mashup forum. Each of the six sets were streamed over USEO Radio, & the minimal audience enjoyed it to the maximum. I mentioned them in advance in
last weeks M Is For Mashup article
( www.suprmchaos.com/bcEnt-Wed-041917.index.html ) .
The broadcast was a celebration of the Beatles Remixers group lasting over 10 years. MP3J began the forum as a lasting tribute to the incredible Beatles music & career. The site constantly inspires more from so many international bootleggers. The posts generate even through a scarcity of comments. The interest is displayed through the post views.
The Big BRG Radio Broadcast began at an astonishing peak with MP3J's complete re-working of the Sgt Peppers album. I was very impressed with this. Honed joy it is.
Set 01 - MP3J - SgtPepper 2017 A
( hearthis.at/vxmfxz7w/01-the-big-brg-broadcast-mp3j-sgtpepper2017a/ )
Set 02 - AtoZ of BRG
( hearthis.at/vxmfxz7w/02-the-big-brg-broadcast-the-atoz-of-brg/ )
AtoZ brought his A game including new unreleased mixes along with his past gems. It is super smooth.
Set 03 - Budtheweiser - Lucy In The Sky With Starburst
( hearthis.at/vxmfxz7w/03-the-big-brg-broadcast-budtheweiser-lucy-in-the-sky-with-starburst/ )
Budtheweiser did a set that revealed his skill at keeping you dancing, while still using the beatles part in the most appealing manner. Must be heard to be believed.
Set 04 - Sgt Mash - Big BRG Broadcast
( hearthis.at/vxmfxz7w/04-the-big-brg-broadcast-sgt-mash-big-brg-broadcast/ )
Sgt Mash had us all at attention throughout with superb variety of mixer, & mixes. He left us all at ease.
Set 05 - DJ Petrushka - Big BRG Broadcast
( hearthis.at/vxmfxz7w/05-the-big-brg-broadcast-dj-petrushka-big-brg-broadcast/ )
DJ Petrushka spun a useo-heavy set with lots of added classics by the greats to complete the pitch.
Set 05 - DJ Useo - Big BRG Broadcast
( hearthis.at/vxmfxz7w/06-the-big-brg-broadcast-dj-useo-big-brg-broadcast/ )
My set was as many short mixes of my own that I could cram in an hour. Variety por favor.
Here's a fine one page post with all the links for streaming
( audioboots.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/1513/6-beatles-djs-over-6-hours-radio-shows )
or stream all 6 sets from here
( hearthis.at/vXMfxz7w/ )
There will be another Big BRG Broadcast in a couple months, with 6 all different DJ's including TjT, Voicedude, & DJ Rudec. These should hold you until then. ;)

"Plantation-Style" Management
Rupert
Fox News is facing another round of legal trouble - this time in the form of multiple lawsuits arising from alleged pervasive race discrimination by the network.
First, the company and three individual women are facing a discrimination and retaliation lawsuit in New York federal court, filed by the attorney representing Tichaona Brown and Tabrese Wright, who sued the company in March.
Adasa Blanco is suing the company's longtime controller Judith Slater, who was fired after the first suit, as well as executive vp legal and business affairs Dianne Brandi and Fox employee Susan Lovallo - in addition to the network and its parent company. Like Brown and Wright, Blanco claims she and "other dark-skinned employees suffered years-long relentless racial animus at the hands of their White supervisor."
Attorney Douglas Wigdor claims Fox fired Slater not to punish her, but rather to save its reputation.
"Fox's public relations machine went into full gear," writes Wigdor. "In an effort to get out ahead of this lawsuit and pretend to care about the discriminatory conduct committed against Ms. Brown, Ms. Wright and other Black employees, upon information and belief, Fox leaked some of the allegations contained herein to the press."

Larva Snack
Plastic
Mother Earth is one seriously gracious host. Humanity has done little else to the planet that produced us than completely destroy it at every turn. We dump toxic oil into oceans, irreversibly alter the climate, drive species into extinction, and pile heaps of trash everywhere we can find space for it. Nature owes us nothing, but it still finds a way to help us save our own hides on a regular basis. The latest example? How about a caterpillar that eats and breaks down the one thing humans have created that pollutes for centuries before decomposing on its own: plastic.
Plastic is everywhere, and as far as the Earth is concerned it absolutely sucks. Scientists believe it can take anywhere from 400 to 1,000 years for common disposable plastic products like bags, bottles, and containers to break down after being thrown into a landfill - or flying out of your car window and into a ditch. That's a long, long time, and it makes plastic a particularly bad pollutant. Now, researchers believe they've stumbled upon a natural plastic decomposition tool that has been crawling around right under our feet, in the form of Galleria mellonella, the greater wax moth.
Scientists from Cambridge University just discovered that the moth's larva can actually eat and break down plastic in a similar way to beeswax, which the moth regularly consumes. Its digestive system breaks up the chemical bonds of polyethylene and makes the insects a powerful tool against the seemingly unending flood of plastic waste around the globe.
Unfortunately, solving the problems of plastic pollution isn't as simple as dumping a bunch of moth larva into landfills; scientists first have to fully study and detail the unique process in the bug's gut that is giving it its remarkable power. Once researchers know exactly how the moth is performing its trick they could apply that knowledge to large-scale efforts to biodegrade junk plastic in places where it causes the most problems, such as the ocean and other pollution hot spots.

Push Back On Immigration
Farmers
The head of Bethel Heights Vineyard looked out over the 100 acres of vines her crew of 20 Mexicans had just finished pruning, worried about what will happen if the Trump administration presses ahead with its crackdown on immigrants.
From tending the plants to harvesting the grapes, it takes skill and a strong work ethic to produce the winery's pinot noir and chardonnay, and native-born Americans just aren't willing to work that hard, Patricia Dudley said as a cold rain drenched the vineyard in the hills of Oregon.
"Who's going to come out here and do this work when they deport them all?" she asked.
Donald Trump's (R-Hypocrite) hard line against immigrants in the U.S. illegally has sent a chill through the nation's agricultural industry, which fears a crackdown will deprive it of the labor it needs to plant, grow and pick the crops that feed the country.
Fruit and vegetable growers, dairy and cattle farmers and owners of plant nurseries and vineyards have begun lobbying politicians at home and in Washington to get them to deal with immigration in a way that minimizes the harm to their livelihoods.

World's Last Male
Northern White Rhino
The world's last male northern white rhino has joined the Tinder dating app as wildlife experts make a last-chance breeding effort to keep his species alive.
"I don't mean to be too forward, but the fate of the species literally depends on me," the rhino's profile says. "I perform well under pressure."
The campaign called "The Most Eligible Bachelor in the World," by a Kenyan wildlife conservancy and the dating app, focuses on the rhino named Sudan.
The 43-year-old and his last two female companions are unable to breed naturally because of issues that include old age.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy and the app aim to raise $9 million for research into breeding methods, including in-vitro fertilization, in an effort to save the species from extinction.

SCOTUS Opts To Leave Secret
CIA 'Torture Report'
The US Supreme Court on Monday turned back an appeal by rights groups seeking to make public a damning report on the CIA's post-September 11 torture program, ensuring it will remain secret.
The court rebuffed arguments from the American Civil Liberties Union that the highly classified report, compiled in 2014 by the Senate Intelligence Committee, should be released based on US government transparency rules.
The 6,700 page report examined in depth the Central Intelligence Agency's program of secret detention and torture of Al-Qaeda suspects in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
It details the rendition of suspects to CIA "black sites" and the use of illegal torture methods like waterboarding on them to extract information.
It also reportedly deeply questioned the effectiveness of the techniques, later banned by the Obama administration.

T-rump To Order Review
National Monuments
Donald Trump (R-Crooked) plans to sign an executive order Wednesday directing his interior secretary to review the designation of tens of millions of acres of land as "national monuments," an action that could upend protections put in place in Utah and other states as Trump tries to rack up accomplishments in his first 100 days.
The Antiquities Act of 1906 authorizes the president to declare federal lands as monuments and restrict how the lands can be used.
"The executive order will direct me as the secretary to review prior monument designations and to suggest legislative changes or modifications to the monuments," Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke told reporters at the White House Tuesday evening.
While Zinke acknowledged criticism that the act has been over-used by past presidents, he insisted he'd approach the topic with an open mind.

Threatens Trillion-Dollar Costs
Arctic Thaw
The Arctic's quickening thaw is melting the permafrost under buildings and roads from Siberia to Alaska, raising world sea levels and disrupting temperature patterns further south, an international study said on Tuesday.
The frigid region's shift to warmer and wetter conditions, resulting in melting ice around the region, may cost the world economy trillions of dollars this century, it estimated.
The report by 90 scientists, including United States experts, urged governments with interests in the Arctic to cut greenhouse gas emissions. U.S. President Donald Trumpdoubts that human activities, led by use of fossil fuels, are the main driver of climate change.
"The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth, and rapidly becoming a warmer, wetter and more variable environment," according to the study, which updates scientific findings from 2011.
"Increasing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the primary underlying cause," they wrote in the study commissioned by the Arctic Council grouping the United States, Russia, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland.

T-rump Picks Trade Fight
Canada
Trade tensions spiked between Washington and Ottawa on Tuesday as Donald Trump (R-Grifter) accused Canada of being "very rough" on America and threatened to retaliate against restrictions on US dairy products.
Trump also touted his administration's surprise decision late Monday to rekindle an old trade conflict with America's second-largest trading partner by slapping new tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber.
"People don't realize, Canada has been very rough on the United States. Everyone thinks of Canada of being nice but they've outsmarted our politicians for many years," Trump told a group of farmers at the White House.
He said Canada was hurting American dairy farmers near the border, from Wisconsin to New York, by blocking dairy exports "and we're not going to put up with it."
Trump's aggressive comments echoed a tweet he sent earlier in the day, just hours after the Commerce Department announced it was imposing tariffs of up to 24 percent on Canadian softwood lumber, which it says is improperly subsidized.
