Davisville, Feb. 19, 2024: Measure N is normal in Davis, unusual in California

Mon, 02/19/2024 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

N, a detail from NDE sign February 2024.JPG

Measure N is the latest Davis schools parcel tax to come before voters — the latest in a string that goes back 40 years. Relatively few school districts in California have such taxes, and few levy as much as Davis does.

The sample ballot for the March 5th election presents the arguments for and against Measure N, plus a list of what the $768 tax supports. For context, today’s Davisville talks with John Fensterwald, an editor at large with EdSource, about how Californians pay for public schools, the pros and cons of parcel taxes, and why Davis receives less money per student from the state than most other districts receive. EdSource, a nonprofit, reports on education issues in California.

Joel Daniel, house concerts made easy, on Listening Lyrics, Feb. 16, 2024

Mon, 02/19/2024 - 10:30am | Pieter Pastoor

sonic mixer.png

Joel Daniel and special guest Alex Jordan discuss how an app like SonicMixer could be a game-changer in live music.

Musicians (artists) are caught between streaming services and the corporatization of music venues. In this episode of Listening Lyrics, Joel discusses an app that works like Airbnb for house shows.

It is extremely difficult for a start-up band (or even an established one) to get a show and cut their teeth. Venues are tough to crack, but houses are abundant and could be used for house shows more than they are. 

The app is easy to use and it works. Joel helped to launch it in Austin last November. In the show he talks about how to get more potential hosts to open their homes to the idea.

Tonight (Feb. 9) at 6 p.m. on the Electric Compost Heap, DJ Dug Deep remembers Wayne Kramer and Mojo Nixon, two iconoclastic artists who both left us recently.
