March 14, 2009 - The Legend of the Free Kick
Dare I say it... we may be a enjoying a real good-old "early" spring here in Montreal! The snow is gone, pale garbage covers the streets (at least in my neighbourhood) and the dog shit is reeking. However, it ain't over till it's over - and the weather hasn't exactly been monotonous so far this winter. So I am not going to be surprised by anything Mother Nature may have in her trick bag.

Still, we at the Freekick fully support the current pro-active approach to seasonal change, and are doing everything in our power as DJs to hasten the coming of spring - for example, by devoting last weekend's show to a ritual celebration of the fertile musical imagination, featuring the creative forces of artists like:

Roots Manuva, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Super Boiro Band, Sir Victor Uwaifo, Dramatics, James Booker, Snooks Eaglin (RIP), Kate Bush, Ken Nordine, Conlon Nancarrow, Abbie Hoffman, Dukes Of Stratosphear, The Fall, Jeffrey Lewis, Maggie Estep, Thin Lizzy, Aut'Chose, Bruce Haack, Maxime de la Rochefoucauld, Kathy Kennedy, R. Stevie Moore, Cseh Tamás/Másik János, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Girl Talk, CSS, X-Ray Spex (pictured here), Deja Voodoo, The Cockroaches, Fear, No Means No, Kid Koala & Martin Tetreault, and Intercom!

An mp3 archive of this show is sitting on our CKUT computers... but unfortunately, the recent server cataclysm means that it's still not possible to access the archives. When everything is up and running, I'll put up the links ... in the meantime, here's a link to a show from just over a year ago. This one is a favourite of mine, featuring many female artists in anticipation of Int'l Women's Day.

February 28, 2009 - Freekick Feels It
"The KK (Knowing that one Knows) Principle
In its simplest form, the KK principle says that, for any proposition p, if one knows that p, then one knows that one knows it. More complex formulations say that if one knows that p, then one is in a position to know that one knows it, and this is fleshed out in a variety of ways. One reason why philosophers are interested in the KK principle is its relevance to the question of whether epistemic logic is a branch of modal logic. An important issue in modal logic is whether necessary truths are necessarily necessary; the corresponding issue in modal epistemic logic is whether the KK principle holds. Another reason for interest in the principle is its relevance to the debate between internalists and externalists about knowledge. It is natural for internalists to endorse something like the KK principle, and for externalists to reject it. A third reason for interest in the KK principle is its connection to the paradox of the Surprise Examination. The reasoning which generates this paradox seems to assume that certain kinds of knowledge can be repeatedly iterated, and hence that something like the KK principle holds. A final reason for studying the principle is its relevance to recent debates about the luminosity of mental states (where a mental state is luminous iff, roughly, one cannot be in that state without being in a position to know that one is in it). If the KK principle holds, then knowledge is a luminous mental state; but there are powerful arguments against the luminosity of other mental states which seem to show that this cannot be the case."
