Well, I'm not a lawyer, but I have been a DJ for several years. At WHPK there is a chapter in the station handbook which does list "safe harbor" language. "Safe Harbor" is, well, basically, you got it- not daytime radio. I believe that legally it is actually 8pm-6am or some such, but at WHPK station policy is 10 pm as a start time, and DJs are required to announce (this technically is the law, btw) every 15 minutes-half an hour that this is one of those offensive "safe harbor"ish things where "minors or others who might be offended should turn down their radios NOW". I'm not sure on the exact station policy, as a jazz DJ I don't exactly run into many situations where it applies. I'm sure the rap DJs know a lot more about it (we have the only uncensored rap programming in the city, and the station's taken some heat for it in the past from Operation PUSH and like-minded others), but this is pretty much what it is. I may well be wrong, but I think it's called "safe harbor" because safe harbor programming can use the "redeeming social or cultural importance" defense as legal protection, whereas other times of the day it's just plain obscenity. And yes, there were other words on the list. I'll have to find my station handbook and look it up sometime. I seem to recall that "scatalogical references" were particularly frowned upon.

Ever listen to Eleanor Rigby with headphones on? The first two syllables of the lead vocal come through in both ears, then the vocals are quickly shifted to one side. Another one I've always wondered about is Bowie's "Suffragette City", which has a very annoying audio dropout in one ear during "wham bam thank you mam"...undetectable without headphones but very obvious with them on. It's almost as if something was deliberately edited out, though I've never seen a word written about this anywhere. Back to the Beatles--There's a song on one of their early albums--can't remember which--during which Paul sings one set of lyrics while John sings another. Beatle buffs back me up on this?

Dang it, I can't remember which one at the moment. Maybe "Carry That >Weight"? I'm sure a quick skim through the transitions on side two would >give you the answer. The original medley: Sun King Mean Mr Mustard Her Majesty Polythene Pam She Came In Through The Bathroom Window Her majesty just didn't fit, so it was spliced out, but "saved" at the end of the reel. When they listened back to the album George M. left the tape rolling, and they (Paul, I believe) told him to "leave it on". If you have access to editing equipment you should try splicing "Her Majesty" into it's original spot in the medley. Then you'll know why it was cut out. As we like to say in our daily brainstorming meetings, "we just sthrow shit against the wall and see what sticks"..."Her Majesty" as part of that medley was definitely one piece of shit that slid right down. - -rUss PS: I'm thinking the early Beatles tune I mentioned earlier was "I'll Get You", where one Beatle sings "gonna make you mine" while the other sings "gonna change your mind" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 21:50:24 -0800 From: Ethyl Ketone Subject: SK thoughts I've been stunned since yesterday afternoon when I heard the news, on the feglist, of course... This has been a supremely bad day. And say what you like, he was one of the most influential and profound filmakers, ever. Even my least favorite of his films (Full Metal Jacket) was brilliant.

My folks took me to see 2001 the weekend it opened at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. I was 11. I didn't understand it, but I was floored by it.

Press conferences became things of the past after the Kiriyenko government was dismissed. I haven't been inside the central bank since September. I trotted over to the Duma a few weeks ago hoping to get a few words out of the central bank chairman, who was scheduled to speak. I arrived just as the deputies had decided to put off debating some draconian law on the central bank since the author of the law never showed up. The deputies began heatedly discussing a law proposed by the Agrarian party, which sought to regulate the movement of honey bees. 'A person...has the right to reclaim the cost of a swarm of bees, which have flown away to a hive belonging to another person...if he or she follows the swarm without stopping,' the bill said. Blocks away, at the Ministry of Finance, the IMF was picking over the government's budget, but legislators preferred to clarify property rights in bees." this ish also includes an excellent analysis of the clinton budget (hint: it's the bunk!) and an hilarious review of the new george soros book.

Yes, this idea has not been forgotten! What it is (or will be), is a dynamic "feg home page system". we're thinking it will be part of robynbase, which, i just realized, may make it possible for each person's user record to contain a list of what tapes he/she has, and links to those shows in robynbase. Theoretically! [1] It just seems like the "rotating tree" idea, while a good idea, didn't work that well in practice. Instead we'll have a database of fegs with info on what they have to trade and what formats they can provide, etc. Then you trade with whoever you want. Of course there will be more "super dupers" who will be available to make copies for people who don't have anything to trade. There MAY be, at some point, MP3's of things too. We'll see. 2. I'll likely be in Portland the weekend of May 1st, and in San Francisco or Santa Cruz the weekend of May 8th. There is some chance the Feg of the Millenium will be visiting Portland too. fegFEST, anyone? If anyone thinks the permafegtapetree should be kept as is, let me know (and let me know why;... or how it should change.) The great thing about the Fegmonomicon will be you can change your info yourself! That way things should be more up-to-date. [1] Don't get your hopes up. I don't know how to do this, and my partner in crime is really busy at work right now. Finally, I would like to apologize for something without messing things up even more. I recently posted something misleading. I didn't mean to and I didn't mean anything by it. I never got to tell my story of the New York Trip with Mary Chris Doug Quail LJ woj Gary and Vivien, but I will tell you this: when I met Vivien I gave her a compliment and she said something very funny (and very cutting!) I still don't know quite what she meant, but anyone who can cut me to ribbons and make me laugh really hard in one remark is OK in my book! =b np: David Holmes, _lets get killed_ ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V8 #87 ******************************
