"NewsWrap": The 4th annual IDAHO (International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia) is observed around the world on May 17th, including an online video featuring hundreds of people from 48 countries and 6 continents, local events across France and the U.K., a strong anti-bias statement issued by the European Union, and actions in Canada, Australia, Cameroon, Iran, Turkey, Costa Rica, Cuba, Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore, South Korea, and Russia; riot police arrest dozens as they break up yet another effort to hold a banned Pride event in Moscow, but a first-ever peaceful Pride march is held in Riga, Latvia, and thousands party with Pride in Brussels, Belgium; the bill creating marriage equality in New Hampshire is on hold as the legislature wrangles with religious protections language demanded by Governor John Lynch, while Nevada lawmakers pass a domestic partnership bill that Governor Jim Gibbons has vowed to veto, but Colorado Governor Bill Ritter signs a bill to provide health insurance and a few other benefits to the domestic partners of state workers; and a California 6th grader is forbidden to give a class presentation about Harvey Milk because the school district says it would violate its sex education policy, but a Colorado 3rd grader organizes a marriage equality rally on the steps of the state capitol (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by CHRIS COLEMAN and RICK WATTS).
Marriage equality proponents usually base their arguments on fairness, and don't often trumpet the well-documented economic benefit. But controversial REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN MICHAEL STEELE claimed this week that opening civil marriage to gay and lesbian couples would unfairly saddle small businesses with increased spousal h ealth care costs. However, based on accepted population percentages, it would appear that there are far more heterosexual workers posing such a "horrific threat" to small business. News commentator KEITH OLBERMANN further dissected Steele's questionable logic on his MSNBC "Countdown" program (with brief intro/outro instrumental music from Frank Sinatra's "Love and Marriage"). . 3:30
This month's "AUDIOFILE" cruises Europe for new CDs by a Swiss (excerpts from "Mein Bester Trick" and the title track from BETTINA SCHELKER's "THE HONEYMOON IS OVER"), a Scot ("Footprints" and "Safe" from HORSE's "COMING UP FOR AIR"), and a band of Brits ("Rocket Girl" and "Gay Boy" from the self-titled album by WIRE DAISIES) (with comments by the artists, hosted by JD DOYLE & CHRIS WILSON, and written & produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM/www.audiofile.org

Did you ever wonder what a producer or engineer on an album really does, and what the difference is? Well, I'm one of those folks who pay attention to liner notes, and a name that kept coming up again and again in recordings in my collection is Karen Kane. She's both a producer and an engineer and has had over 200 album credits, and countless live shows, in her career. She's been at it for more than 33 years, doing her work in Boston, Canada and now North Carolina. She's worked with a lot of artists dear to my heart and we talk about many of them as well as the work itself. I'm very pleased to share with you this interview with Karen Kane.
