Ms. Rapscott's Girls , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 220min
Fans of Mary Poppins will love this whimsical tale of a boarding school for children of very busy parents, where an extraordinary headmistress teaches them life lessons about courage, adventure, friendship... and the importance of birthday cake. Nestled inside a lighthouse, Great Rapscott School for the Daughters of Busy Parents takes its motto from Amelia Earhart: Adventure is worthwhile in itself. Headmistress Ms. Rapscott couldn't agree more, but her students, who are shipped to the school in boxes, could use a little convincing. Still, despite their initial reluctance, the students are soon soaring through the sky and getting lost on purpose. In addition to learning what birthday cakes are and how best to approach a bumbershoot tree, the students also manage to learn a little something about strength and bravery. Best-selling author Elise Primavera has created an irresistible story about finding your way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katherine Kellgren.

Monopoly!, Hörbuch, Digital, 98min
In this devastating monologue about monopoly and its discontents, Mike Daisey explores the warped genius of inventor Nikola Tesla and his war with Thomas Edison over electricity - alternating current versus direct current - a battle that etched itself into the streets of New York City itself. This thread loops and whorls around Microsoft's historic antitrust lawsuit, the secret history of the board game Monopoly, and ultimately the story of Daisey's hometown and its one remaining retailer: Wal-Mart.As subversive as it is hilarious, Monopoly! illuminates the issues we confront under corporate rule, and explores the choices and struggles individuals face living in a system that recognizes only profit and loss. Monopoly! has been performed in full productions at the 2005 Spoleto Festival, American Repertory Theatre, the Ohio Theatre (with Les Freres Corbusier), Capitol Hill Arts Center, the Bumbershoot Arts Festival, and the Noorderzon Festival in the Netherlands, after receiving workshops at Manhattan Theatre Club, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and Portland Stage Company.

Grower, Hörbuch, Digital, 44min
In his punchy, fast-moving act, Brett Hamil can be dumb, angry, opinionated, or amazed, but he always tries to make comedy that generates maximum laughter and excludes no one. He talks about sex, psychedelics, his "dog entourage", marrying into secular Judaism, and what it means to feel trapped in one's beard. The Seattle Weekly said, "Hamil stands as the city's premiere political comic". The Stranger called him "a truly treasured ham". Brett Hamil was raised the son of a Southern preacher and a stay-at-home mom in the swampy suburbs of Central Florida. He grew up, got a semiworthless degree, worked a series of bizarre and backbreaking jobs, and eventually moved to the exact opposite end of the country. He now lives in Seattle with his wife and two dogs, all of whom he found on the Internet. After dabbling in just about every creative outlet he could think of (painting, writing, cartooning, playing saxophone in a postrock band), Hamil settled on stand-up nine years ago, and he's been doing it hard ever since. He tours all over the US and Canada doing comedy, and he's performed at Bumbershoot Arts and Music Festival (Seattle), Bridgetown Comedy Festival (Portland), and the Northwest Comedy Fest (Vancouver). He's also a columnist and cartoonist for City Arts Magazine, and his sketch videos have received hundreds of thousands of views and appeared on websites like Upworthy and The Daily Dot. His political commentary videos have earned him a local following and spun off into a semimonthly talk show, The Seattle Process with Brett Hamil. Language: English. Narrator: Brett Hamil.

Audio-lava has performed at many venues such as the Railway Club in Vancouver and various festivals including Seattle's Bumbershoot, Regina Folk Festival, Connect (Electronic + Tribal Music Fest), New Music West, the Vancouver International Dance Fest, Sista'hood, Deep Cove Daze and Commercial Drive Car Free Fest.

REVIEWS: TOM HARRISON from THE PROVINCE "Lisa b. sets the tone of "embers and icicles", which is Morcheeba-influenced trance pop...She and partner Brent Cross create a warm, seductive musical tapestry....". SHAWN CONNER from THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT (December 5, 2002) - "I get it. Embers and Icicles = hot and cold. The hot part of the equation would be the smoldering vocals of Lisa b., while the cold is provided by the sci-fi keyboards and chilled-out beats of audio-lava.....Butel's jazz-inflected singing blends smoothly with her bandmate's cinematic synths, trumpet, and occasional Morcheeba-like spaghetti Western guitar". GERRY KROCHAK from the LEADER POST Regina "The debut full-length album is at once cool and warm, moody and jazzy, trippy and groovy, ambient and soothing, trance-inducing and oh, yes, very sexy...Univeral musical themes, notwithstanding, the sultry and emotive vocals of Butel are what set audio-lava apart".- Shop: odax
