Music stuff on CBC radio & TV tonight

[tvmann]

CBC Radio 805 pm - 900 pm - frequency AM 690 (& FM 92.1 some places):

"The Wire - The Wheels of Steel

When the turntable evolved from the gramophone, it was just another
way to play records. Only avant-garde composers such as John Cage thought it would one day become an instrument in its own right. But in the past 25 years, the turntable has become king, creating whole new ways of thinking about music. But how? How did a record player lead to the world of hip-hop and scratching contests and superstar DJs? Hear leading turntable artists, including Canada's foremost turntablist, Kid Koala, superstar DJs DJ Spooky and Amon Tobin, and archival clips of John Cage."

And later on CBC TV program ZED 1125 pm (or earlier on satellite):

All electronic edition featuring DJ Qbert etc etc and Vancouver "New Forms Festival"

On now on radio - apparently it's a series and has been on a few weeks.

The TV thing on ZED is kinda experimental stuff. I watched it on the East coast satellite feed.
