July 18, 2007 - Space is Free
"With metric spaces, things are more complicated, because there are several categories of metric spaces, depending on what is chosen for the morphisms. Certainly the discrete metric space is free when the morphisms are all uniformly continuous maps or all continuous maps, but this says nothing interesting about the metric structure, only the uniform or topological structure. Categories more relevant to the metric structure can be found by limiting the morphisms to Lipschitz continuous maps or to short maps; however, these categories don't have free objects (on more than one element). However, the discrete metric space is free in the category of bounded metric spaces and Lipschitz continuous maps, and it is free in the category of metric spaces bounded by 1 and short maps. That is, any function from a discrete metric space to another bounded metric space is Lipschitz continuous, and any function from a discrete metric space to another metric space bounded by 1 is short."

July 4, 2007 - A Hill and Gully Ride
Topics such as MJ funeral overdrive and the local schmazz festival may have competed for attention on last weekend's show, but your Freekick hosts remained as fixated as anyone on the ups & downs of the mysteriously wet and chilly weather we've been having here in Montreal. Rest assured, every effort was made to alleviate dampened spirits in the studio and throughout radio-land!

The eminent artistes who carried us through this one:

Steinski, Roland Kirk, Ini Kamoze, Derrick Laro & Trinity, The Bug (vocals: Warrior Queen - pictured here), Masanka Sankayi + Kasai Allstars feat. Mutumilayi, Jackson Five, René Lussier/Martin Tétreault/Otomo Yoshihide, Francesco Giannico, Gutbucket, Storsveit Nix Noltes, Nutsak, Hoven Droven, The Seeds, Van der Graaf Generator, Sunil Ganguly, Lata Mangeshkar & Mohammed Rafi, Unknown Thai Orchestra, John Cale, Alexandra & The Herrings, Gregory Pepper And His Problems, Momus, Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard, Cravo Carbono, Kevin Blechdom & Eugene Chadbourne, and Charanjit Singh!
