Another three young journos in Afghanistan were brutally murdered this week.

As February ended, Philippines opposition Senator Leila De Lima was in a political prison cell for the fourth year, while it seems from news reports that one after another bogus charge against her, has a prosecutor’s witness exonerating her. All members of the official opposition (I think there are six) in the Philippines endure
The Realness Project, a full-length album from his funk liberation band. Britton Smith performing at Juneteenth Jubilee Brian Russell Carey
While theatre is on pause, Britton Smith is pursuing freedom through his music with Britton & The Sting.
At the beginning of the song Drop, Smith exclaims, âIf youâre heavy, get light now, now, now, now; this is your chance now, now, now.â It feels like the perfect distillation of the bandâs manifesto.

In 2019, we got a lot of joy from the self-titled debut of British singer-songwriter
Jade Bird, and we were lucky enough to experience a thrilling, full-band FUV Live performance by her at Rockwood Music Hall. Since then, Jade’s been staying busy and creative, working on new music to lift our spirits and bring us all a little bit closer.
Late last year, she did just that in a Marquee Live at Home set from her new home in Austin, Texas, chatting with me about how music has bolstered her during this pandemic and kept her moving. Joined by guitarist Luke Prosser, Jade also shared some tunes from her forthcoming second album, and played some old faves, including a cover of a cover song: Gillian Welch and David Rawlings version of Radiohead s Black Star.

So you ll get to hear that whole set on WFUV, today at Noon, and it s also available in the FUV Live Vault.
