Old Liveset from Operaen, Christiania, Denmark. Download: http://soundcloud.com/laugebabagnohm/
The duo Lauge & Baba Gnohm consists of Henrik Laugesen and Kalle Christensen, both born in 1985 in Denmark. They first met in 2008 in Christiania. After a successful day in the studio, they decided to put their previous solo projects on hold, and team up. Lauge & Baba Gnohm was formed in the late winter of 2008, and that wintry feeling which was present in their first tracks, still leave traces in their more recent soundscapes. Henrik and Kalle are heavily inspired by nature,
especially the arctic parts of the world. Till now Lauge & Baba Gnohm have had many releases on various labels around the globe, as well as being part of a sync company dealing with soundtracks for movies and documentaries. The very first Lauge & Baba Gnohm collaboration release was The Perfect Stranger which was released on the German record label Blue Tunes Records. Along with releases on different compilations,
Lauge & Baba Gnohm have released two EPs: Daybreak, on Soundmute, and Monolith, on Chillbase and the full length album "Langbortistan" on Altar Records... http://soundcloud.com/laugebabagnohm

Doug Ford Grants Interview to Fox News While Snubbing Canadian Media
Doug Ford, avoiding legitimate press, leans on state-funded propaganda outlet
North99 Staff May 1, 2019
On a recent trip to New York, Doug Ford granted an interview to Trump propaganda outlet Fox News while controversy swirled in Ontario about Ford’s treatment of Canadian media.
The controversy began when reporter Cynthia Mulligan pointed out that Ford’s trip included Ontario News Now, the government-funded propaganda outlet setup by Doug Ford when he became Premier.

During a jam packed two day trip to New York, Premier Ford sent a clear message: Our government is making it easier to do business in Ontario.

Ford’s Press Secretary took to Twitter to respond, claiming Ford’s team had given numerous media advisories notifying Canadian outlets about the trip.

Despite putting out numerous advisories and news releases on Premier @fordnation meeting with some of the biggest companies in America, I received one media request for information regarding his trip. And they wonder why @OntarioNewsNow exists.

1. The media were given no notice about the premier’s trip until the night before he and the treasurer jetted to New York.
2. The Star asked about his trade mission yesterday and today.
3. Ontario News Now does video press releases not journalism.

On Friday, CP asked what was on tap for Monday and the premier’s office didn’t bother mentioning this trip.

Other reporters rightly pointed out the absurdity of the situation.
Colin D'Mello CTVNews@ColinDMello
Legitimate journalists were not informed about the Premier’s trip to NYC until 4:03 pm the day before he was scheduled to depart.
Yet, Ontario News Now was given a taxpayer funded assignment to ask the Premier flattering questions. #ONpoli

This follows a similar pattern for how Ford treats the media.
In March Ford pointed out that social media allows him to circumvent journalists and the mainstream media. In a fundraising email in April, Ford attacked the media, claiming that they were “mocking” him and his supporters.
In an echo of comments made by Donald Trump, Ford called the media the official opposition in response to reporters questioning his appointment of close family friend Ron Taverner to head the OPP.
All of this fits a pattern we see across the world from right-wing leaders who disdain and attack the free press in favour of their own state-funded propaganda channels.
