    In Bed with Susie Bright 622: Truvada: Slut-Pill or the Drug We Need More Than Ever?, Hörbuch, Digital, 26min, (USK 18)
    Why is a new AIDS preventative pill under attack? Truvada has been dubbed a party drug by conservatives, who see it as an aid to continuing risky sex, rather than something to help people with HIV. Susie reads from Out magazine's article "Why I Am a Truvada Whore". This tongue-in-cheek story shows how mixed up the debate is and likens the fear of HIV protection to the 1960s-era fear of giving birth-control pills to unmarried couples. Next, Susie found some really fun research from a UK sports sociologist. Looks like penis size really does matter in team sports. The guys in the locker room are checking each other out, and depending on cock size, they determine who has the higher standing on the team. Even better though: if a player has a gigantic dick, yet he's not that talented on the field, he still gets to remain on the team. Wow, says Susie, sports just got a little bit more interesting in a surprising way! Then, in our "What's New on Audible" segment, Susie introduces us to another sexy must-listen. House of Sable Locks by Elizabeth Schechter is set in a mysterious brothel in London. The story uncovers the dark passions and desires of a young man from the privileged upper-crust. This book has two narrators: Pricilla Carson and Roger Frisk. Have a question or news story for Susie? You can send your confidential queries and comments to susie@susiebright.com.

    The Daughter-in-Law Syndrome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 327min
    The Daughter-in-Law Syndrome delves into the complicated relationship that is causing much friction between Edna Deane and her daughter-in-law Arla. In addition it focuses on the sometimes tumultuous partnership between Arla and her husband Ric. Arla Deane sometimes likens her marriage to undergoing daily psychological warfare. Husband Ric will never voice an opinion, and puts his mother Edna up high on a pedestal. Arla is sick of always feeling that she comes in at only second best to her mother-in-law, who much to Arla's fury is never told anything by Ric or his sisters that she would not want to hear. This novel explores the husband/wife, mother/son, and mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships. After 28 years of marriage, Arla, the daughter-in-law, is at the end of her tether and persuades a reluctant Ric to accompany her for marriage guidance. As they look back over their lives with counselor Toni Beecher, Arla slowly comes to realize her own failings, and eventually discovers the long-hidden reason why Ric will never utter a cross word to his mother. Also adding to Arla's stress is the fact that her son Stuart will soon be marrying Ria, a girl whom Arla feels is just looking for a free ride. Arla is convinced that Ria will be no asset to Stuart at all; her new daughter-in-law just wants to be a mother and has no intention of ever working again once the babies start to arrive. After visiting Stuart and Ria for Sunday lunch, Arla is convinced that her son is making the biggest mistake of his life.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wendy Anne Darling.

    Through It All EP
    Writing songs and playing in alt/punk bands since he was sixteen, Long Island, New York's Greg Patane has quite a history in the music industry. As a guitarist/background vocalist in his previous band, Patane opened for national acts, such as Lit, New Found Glory, and FeFe Dobson. On top of sharing the stage with such popular acts, he had the opportunity to showcase for major record labels such as Columbia and Atlantic. Now going solo at the age of twenty-six, Patane likens his sound to 'if The Goo Goo Dolls, Dashboard Confessional, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, and Social Distortion collaborated to make an acoustic album - sort of.' Writing, engineering, producing, mixing, releasing, and promoting his music all on his own, Greg Patane is a true example of DIY. Upon releasing his first acoustic EP, Through It All, Greg plans to relentlessly promote his material to make his mark as a recording artist.

    Songs from Home: Art Songs & Folk Songs from the Philippines
    Songs From Home: Art Songs and Folk Songs from the Philippines Philippine vocal music is as varied as the numerous islands that comprise it's archipelago. Though traditional folk songs are a rich confluence of the country's colonial and indigenous past, it remains distinct from it's various influences. Those featured in this album cover several provinces across the country's major regions (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao), each detailing rural experiences that capture not only pastoral imagery but the Filipino traits of love, community, the penchant for humor and play. After several periods of powerful colonization, a movement against western musical traditions began to grow in the early 20th century. Composers pursued the restoration or re-creation of a musical identity that was truly Filipino, much of which was greatly based on themes and rhythms established by traditional folk music. The Philippine Art Song around such a time was born. Slow and sentimental, these art songs not only aimed to glorify the talents of local composers and lyricists, it actually celebrated the achievement of a unique Filipino musical identity. Such musical nationalism eventually carried on decades later with popular songs that catered to a wider audience, infiltrating various media like TV, film, and radio. With much pride, I present to you this collection of Philippine musical gems, each piece holding some significance close to my heart. It is my hope that what I hear and feel each time I sing these works will transport you similarly through a journey of my homeland, the Philippines. Joseph Legaspi Sitsiritsit Based on a childhood playground rhyme, nonsensical text and rhythmic onomatopoeia characterize this playful song. It humorously puts together charmingly peculiar scenes and images that include gold and green beetles, women parading around like roosters, babies being bartered for fish paste (bagoong) or a doll, rice flour cookies (puto seko), and even the Child Jesus (Sto. Niño) finds it's way into the song. Lagi Kitang Naaalala An earnest love song that deals with nostalgia and unrequited love, the persona in this piece continues to pine for the affections of his beloved. Written by Leopoldo Silos, Sr., one of the well-known purveyors of Original contemporary Filipino Music, this song exemplifies his abilities as a composer of ballads and romantic tunes. Solis was also known as a master arranger and singer, and was awarded for his musical direction of the television musical "Aawitan Kita" (I'll Sing For You). Pamulinawen This song originates from the Ilocos region, northern Philippines. Many often mistake this as a traditional folksong when it had actually been written during the turn of the century. This is perhaps due to the fact that it utilizes the customary pattern of likening an amour to the idyllic surroundings and it's rather simple depiction of unreciprocated love. In this case, the woman is likened to that of a stone, stoic to the wooing of a man's affections. Manang Biday A traditional Ilokano folksong, this piece refers to a woman named "Biday" (the title "Manang" used as a sign of respect in the Ilocos region and in several parts of the country). The man is asking Biday to look outside her window and listen to his plea. The piece is interestingly cast in two contrasting eight-measure periods (parts A and B), the entire text composed of eight nine-syllable lines. The first four lines (part A) refer to the lover's plea for attention, while the next four (part B) contain Manang Biday's rejection of him. No Dua Dua-em Pay A traditional folksong from the Ilocos Region, north of the Philippines, this popular piece tells of a lover's fervent plea for reciprocation from his beloved who is doubtful of his feelings for her. A unique character of the piece is it's use of the Cuban habanera rhythm. One of the outcomes of 300 years of Spanish colonization, this musical style is more locally known as a 'danza', evident in many of the folksongs during the era. Sarung Banggi This contemplative piece is one of the Bicol region's most popular songs. Written in 1912, it has been performed constantly across the archipelago, adapted into various mediums by numerous composers: piano (R. Santos), choral (L. D. San Pedro), solo voice with piano accompaniment (F. De Leon, C. de Guzman, E. Pajaro), rondalla ensemble (A. Buenaventura), and symphonic theme (F. Buencamino). Aside from it's elegant melody, the lyricism of it's words evokes certain sophistication as the persona beholds the presence of his amour. Si Nanay, Si Tatay Di Co Babayaan Akin to most kundimans, this piece is written in a minor key and is in slow ¾ time. These aspects reinforce the significance of the subject matter, which tackles the relationship between parent and child, admonishing the latter's gratitude and service in return for having been cared for since birth. This Bicolano song is composed of four phrases, each beginning with similar rhythmic patterns that are sung on the same note. Dandansoy A sentimental and melancholic theme pervades throughout this traditional Visayan folksong. Originating from middle region of the Philippine archipelago (Kulasi, Antique), the piece is set in a minor key and written in slow triple time similar to many kundimans. The song's persona bids a sad farewell to his lover, urging her to look toward the direction of his departure should she begin to miss him. Several versions shift to a major key in the middle section, intensifying the piece's emotion by casting hope in the persona's possible change of heart. Ahay, Tuburan Like many folksongs passed on orally through generations, it is possible that the piece would veer away from the original, it's lyrics the result of varying translations and interpretations. Though it finds it's origins in the Visayan region (Aklan), another version of this gem was heard in the Mindanao region (Cotobato). This particular version is based on a transcription of the song collected and recorded in 1956 in Aklan by Priscilla Magdamo, one of the pioneers in the field of Philippine ethnomusicology. The piece poignantly conveys the emotions felt during farewells, of having to yield personal happiness to more pressing matters. Damgo Man Lang Written in 1982, this song from the Bohol region deals with social realities that include injustice and deprivation, and the dream of eventually finding truth and rising above all that muddle it. Though it was primarily created as a love song, several revisions had resulted into a powerful commentary on Philippine society, it's themes remaining relevant to this day. The piece had won the grand prize during the 1983 Cebu Pop Music Festival, the original version sung by Arthur Ungab, one of Bohol region's celebrated voices in contemporary music. Usahay With it's unforgettable and dreamy melody, this popular love song was recorded with the composer as 'unknown." Popular recording artists Susan Fuentes, Dulce and Pilita Corrales were among those who recorded this Visayan melody. It has been recently discovered that the real composer was Col. Gregorio Labja, a largely unacknowledged but venerable and prolific composer from Tagum, Davao del Norte, of the Visayan region. This is the first time in this song's history that Labja is acknowledged publicly as the song's genuine composer. Originally composed for the male voice, as it was dedicated to a lady whom the composer courted, the first recording by Susan Fuentes omitted a stanza that would attribute to the male voice. Sukta ang Kabulakan A folksong from the Visayas region, found in central Philippines, this piece likens a fair maiden and her affections to blossoms in a garden, the metaphor characteristic of songs during the Spanish colonial era. This piece may very well be an example of the 'balitaw' musical form prevalent then, an exchange of love poetry between two singers. Usually sung in a quatrain or ballad stanza, the 'balitaw' can go on for some length either re
