We've got a lot of talented "almost made it" artists this week. Some just didn't have the luck, others sounded too much like somebody else, like Hank Snow or Elvis, but all were good and worth listening to before they're completely forgotten. Those, plus our usual line-up of blues, country, gospel and exotica make for a show that's also worth listening to.

In Gaza, in Lebanon, and throughout West Asia, heroes are fighting and sacrificing their lives in order to stop a genocide. These brave men and women are far more worthy of our attention and solidarity than the mediocre, cowardly and two-faced candidates running for the presidency of a murderous, genocidal empire.

Speaking with Ghadi Francis and Rania Khaliq on how Lebanon how changed on the last month since the beginning of the attack

Interview with Russ Rankin, vocalist with Santa Cruz punk band Good Riddance on band's new single "No More System to Believe In" released before US elections.

Sonic Café, from Philadelphia, that’s DJ Adam Dorn, aka Mocean Worker with Shake Ya Boogie, so ahh welcome, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 408. This time the Sonic Café presents a thing we’re calling… It Takes a Village. Listen for a quick description of the worldwide effort needed to make a simple pencil, showing how we rely on each other, even if we don’t always get along. Our music mix travels 56 years through time, with John Grant from his 2010 Queen of Denmark album. A Change in the Weather from John Fogerty, plus the Altered Five Blues Band, David Bowie, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, The Pink Spiders and more, including comedian John Mulaney’s story about working with rock legend Mick Jagger. Oh and before we forget a big Sonic Café welcome to our newest sponsor. A new game from Parker Brothers… Scot Free. Your team has just assassinated the president, can you get off Scot Free? Ahh just like in real life, it’s fun for the whole family. So yeah, from 1967 here’s the Chamber Brothers with a tune considered one of the land mark songs of the psychedelic era. This is Uptown, and we’re the Sonic Café.

For this week’s archive radio show we were proud to announce that after a brief hiatus with the fallout at KOWA, the Thunderbolt was once again on the air in Olympia! (Albeit on an unlicensed station — and it only played if someone got around to playing it…). Next, Ken Nordine introduced the Thunderbolt crew before we differentiated the biggest difference between black people and white people. We exposed evil plots to turn us all into Zuckers, we sang an ode to the mothers of our world, and we revealed a face of Muammar Qaddafi that is probably very unfamiliar to you. For the feature piece we exposed government sterilization programs that were very popular back in the day. Cringeworthy anecdotes of pusillanimous perfidy mixed with lame metaphors. Listen at your own risk.

In 2004, filmmaker Katy Chevigny followed eleven Americans from dawn until past midnight and put a face on the voting rights issues to reveal the disparity between wealthy and poor neighborhoods, and the disenfranchisement of former felons. This became the documentary film, “Election Day.” Katy Chevigny founded Arts Engine, a film making group with the goal to explore social issues in 1998. “Election Day” is now the centerpiece of “Art Engine’s Ten Year Anniversary Collection,” a series of ten feature-length documentary and short films. Take a look at their website, www.artsengine.net for more information. With fairness in the voting booth during the 2008 election in mind, I spoke by phone with Katy Chevigny on October 23, 2008. Our conversation began when I asked her to discuss how she became involved in making social films and the drama they carry. The movie she recommends is, “Thrown Down Your Heart,” created by Sasha Paladino
