In today's political climate, while personal freedoms have been undermined by the current regime, one student-run, community-powered radio station has endeavored to make the most of what freedom is left; Freeform KDVS 90.3 FM in Davis has chosen to support the new, creative music of the most sincere artistic scruples, thereby offering a true, outstanding alternative choice to music fans who refuse to settle for less.
For people who've grown weary of corporate-controlled rebellion and partying in bars with bro-dawgs and hoochie-mamas--where every flash of the horns and so-called act of revelry is so formulaic and seemingly scripted--Max Freedom offers you a totally different way to party.

It’s almost time again for O:RMF again, the non-profit all ages DIY music festival put on roughly twice a year by KDVS 90.3FM in Davis. This event has a rich history of bringing killer audio projects from the radiowaves of KDVS to the soundwaves of Plainfield Station, the venue chosen for its awesome burgers, cheap beer, and rural location in the middle of Yolo county. The music is still healthy in Sacto/Davis, where KDVS DJs fight the good fight against corporate hegemony of homogeny. Using freeform radio and a grand variety of live shows, we bring the best tunes to the region, as we have for decades.
This year’s festival will run from 2pm to 10pm on Saturday May 16th, with twelve bands. The lineup?
We’ve also got Crossbill Records, Weird Forest Records, Sacramento Zineposium, KDVS Recordings, and more to bring out their recordings and propaganda for your enjoyment and indoctrination.
Plainfield Station is located at 23944 County Road 98, just across the bridge at the intersection of Road 98 & 29. Technically part of Woodland, it’s closer to Davis. From Davis, take 5th street/Russell blvd west, then turn right on Road 98 and travel north. From I-80, take 113 north, then Road 29 west. Grill and beer bar, so bring cash for chow and cheer.
If you don’t have a car, how the hell are you going to get out there? Easy. There will be an private O:RMF bus leaving from the Memorial Union bus stop on the UCD Campus, leaving at 1:30 and 6:00pm, and departing Plainfield at 5:30 and 10:30. For those of the more adventurous bent, a 6.5 mile ride will be leaving the Delta of Venus café (122 B street) at 1:30 and 6:00pm, departing Plainfield at 10:30pm.
Tickets cost $8 presale, $10 door. All ages of course. Get them at myspace.com/maximumfreedom/, where we’ll announce future presale locations.

Report: Bin Laden Already Dead Wednesday, December 26, 2001
E-MAIL STORY RESPOND TO EDITOR PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.
"The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead," the source said.
Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief.
About 30 close associates of bin Laden in Al Qaeda, including his most trusted and personal bodyguards, his family members and some "Taliban friends," attended the funeral rites. A volley of bullets was also fired to pay final tribute to the "great leader. "
The Taliban source who claims to have seen bin Laden's face before burial said "he looked pale ... but calm, relaxed and confident. "
Asked whether bin Laden had any feelings of remorse before death, the source vehemently said "no. " Instead, he said, bin Laden was proud that he succeeded in his mission of igniting awareness amongst Muslims about hegemonistic designs
