A world without as many social media bells and whistles, one where few contemplated how artificial intelligence tools could improve their podcasting workflow or how to create episode teasers in the form of audiograms or Instagram reels. A lot has changed, but some things remain the same. For me, nothing matters more than the music that I share on the show. I never wanted to do anything else in podcasting other than champion independent artists and connect the dots between various musical genres through this medium. <br /><br />There's a whole lot of music that has been played on this show over 18 years, and it would be foolish to suggest to you that nine songs could cover even a fraction of that time. However, some of these songs and artists are reminiscent of specific moments within BSOTS history. The selections from Lovespirals and Big La Vs. Todd represent my connection to the Music Podcasting Consortium, a like-minded collective of avid music supporters and creators that represents my first online community within the podosphere. Whether Todd Kelley (a.k.a. The Big La) is curating a music mix or in the lab crafting beats of his own, the head nod factor is always priority number one with him. "The Shoreline" is a calming instrumental piece and one of my personal favorites from his Kneel Before Todd album. The music of Lovespirals appeared within the first ten episodes of Radio BSOTS and is one of the first podsafe artists ever played on this show. Their new single "Misunderstood" is a continuation of the ethereal attributes that make their work so special (and besides that, atmospheric drum and bass is the way to my heart).<br /><br />Over the years, podsafe music resources faded away one by one, but thankfully the <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/" target="_blank">Free Music Archive</a> is still around. Founded in 2009, I've been virtually crate digging through this website since its beginning stages in beta mode, always finding works that have both intrigued and surprised me. A cut like "Mango Tree" by Chandeliers brings me right back to those early days of searching for music on the FMA. This one's a total earworm, marrying lyrics and vocals that lean towards folk with an off-kilter funk groove accentuated by the bass, keys, and rhythm guitar. "Bag Of Nothingness" is another FMA find, where producer Comfort Fit takes the funk and launches full speed into the future, creating a hip-hop/electronic beat hybrid that stays crunchy even in milk. <br /><br />Prior to the FMA's existence, a universe of netlabels brought me in touch with an endless amount of Creative Commons licensed music. The <a href="https://blocsonic.com/" target="_blank">blocSonic netlabel</a> would have been the first, and I try to represent for their output as often as possible. The self-titled album by Friends Or Whatever is one of my all-time favorite blocSonic releases and the shimmering brilliance of "Everybody Stopped Calling Me" is just one of the reasons why. No Type (no longer active) was another netlabel that I came across soon after blocSonic and I fell hard for their focus on experimental electronic music. The introspective beauty of "The Force May Be With You" by Idmonster is reminiscent of work from labels like <a href="https://projectmooncircle.com/" target="_blank">Project Mooncircle</a>, the warm chords occasionally disturbed by slivers of voices, clicks, and digital static. <a href="https://www.upitup.com/" target="_blank">Upitup Records</a> is more of a recent discovery for me, but the music of Cosmic Analog Ensemble has been played on this show well over a decade ago. He's a multi-instrumentalist that's capable of creating soulful jazz numbers to sample-heavy hip-hop instrumentals that feel like Madlib during his most leftfield moments. I cannot stop playing "In Matacumbo" and it would be criminal not to share that cut with you. The same can be said for "Dance To The Drummer's Beat" by Dharma. It's impossible to keep still when those breakbeats kick in. Believe it or not, that cut dates back to 1999, proving that the Creative Commons crates are deep and full of amazing cuts that deserve more exposure. (Seek and ye shall find.) It was released on <a href="https://netlabelarchive.org/netlabels/monotonik/mono211/" target="_blank">Mono211</a>, a label that stopped releasing music 20 years ago. Thanks to the efforts of those behind the <a href="https://netlabelarchive.org/" target="_blank">Netlabel Archive</a> for preserving the works of inactive imprints and ensuring that their output won't be lost forever.<br /><br />And then there's Jonny Sonic, an artist that ended up becoming the unofficial voice of the BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD episodes. His music is often punchy and insistent, never forsaking the funk in its approach. I love the horn section on "Datenight" and how Jonny's voice just seems to cut through his big band that's right behind him. I've been playing his music since at least 2006 and he's the first artist that I reach for whenever BSOTS needs to blow off some steam. Should you need some music to bring you back from the brink, here's hoping that the selections within this episode can bring some semblance of peace your way. </p><p><i>Other key info:</i><br /><a href="http://radiobsots.blogspot.com/2014/10/radio-bsots-show-149-grooves-and.html" target="_blank">BSOTS 149 - Grooves And Gratitude</a><br /><a href="http://radiobsots.blogspot.com/2014/12/radio-bsots-show-151-buckwild-shouting.html" target="_blank">BSOTS 151 - BUCKWILD: The Shouting Match Never Really Ended (pt. one)</a><br /><a href="http://radiobsots.blogspot.com/2014/12/radio-bsots-show-152-buckwild-shouting.html" target="_blank">BSOTS 152 - BUCKWILD: The Shouting Match Never Really Ended (pt. two)</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huC_fU4cbHI" target="_blank">Queue Points Show #119 - Exploring The Soundscapes</a><br /><a href="http://www.inoveryourhead.net/about-julien/" target="_blank">Julien Smith</a><br /><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lost-in-the-sauce/id1548618236" target="_blank">Lost In The Sauce</a><br /><a href="https://blocsonic.com/bloccasts/bloc-discovery-sessions" target="_blank">Bloc Discovery Sessions</a></p><p>BSOTS theme music by Cy Tru (edited by Macedonia).

Over on Bandcamp, The Polish Ambassador of Jumpsuit Records creates a low-slung electronic instrumental with hip-hop leanings for Kool Keith (a.k.a. Black Elvis) to glide effortlessly over. It's like he beamed in from another galaxy or something. In Melbourne, Australia, the Close Counters duo crafts an uptempo selection for the dance floor, hovering somewhere between house and broken beat. And then there's niteffect from Budapest, offering a downtempo cut with acidic synth patterns and breakbeats that waft in and out of the mix.<br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dl43_ST6ahg?si=19A1O2FL18fnQyzP" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />It was over a decade ago that DJ Harrison's <i>'94 Flow</i> album came out on the blocSonic netlabel. It still sounds amazing, especially when you consider a statement that repeats throughout the album: "<b><i>There are no samples on this record.</i></b>" The first time I heard that, I remembered thinking to myself, "Stop lying to me." That's how frighteningly talented and in the pocket DJ Harrison is. He makes the type of funk and soul that people will be sampling 15 to 20 years from now. Meanwhile, the rap and R&B hybrid cut from Yung Miss is a West and East Coast connection produced by Mr. Ivory Snow of Connecticut (Yung Miss hails from California). This one knocks, and it screams heavy rotation for rap radio.<br /><br />Seven songs. Thirty-five minutes of your time. Here's hoping the music will prove that this episode is time well spent.</p><p>Other key info:<br /> <a href="https://radiobsots.blogspot.com/2022/08/radio-bsots-show-176-buckwild-learn.html" target="_blank">BSOTS 176 - BUCKWILD: learn from it...</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHcJOfOxMng" target="_blank">Queue Points episode no. 112 - The Transatlantic Connection</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMaB5MU74BU" target="_blank">Queue Points episode no. 113 - The Power Of The Drop<br /></a><a href="https://blocsonic.com/bloccasts/tha-bloc-report" target="_blank">Tha Bloc Report </a><br /></p><p>BSOTS theme music by Cy Tru (edited by Macedonia).

In part two of the interview, he talks about the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@cccommunitymusicawards" target="_blank">CC Listening Parties</a> that he co-hosts on YouTube alongside Donnie Ozone, an event that grew out of the artistic standstill caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In addition, he shares some ambitious plans for a CC Community Music Hall Of Fame slated to premiere in 2026.<br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5UUFlVG3WCI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br /></p><p>Once again, there's great music to accompany the conversation, including a single from Headsnack that <a href="https://blocsonic.com" target="_blank">blocSonic</a> has released for this year's Netlabel Day. Other musical selections include the cabaret protest stylings of Carsie Blanton, the jazz meets electronic music musicianship of Revolution Void, the unbeatable hip-hop combination of CM & The Silent Partner, and a gorgeous after hours instrumental from Satori (taken from the new 20th Anniversary Compilation from <a href="https://www.upitup.com" target="_blank">Upitup Records</a>).<br /><br />Thank you so much for listening and I hope that you found this interview as informative as I did.

The life that I want to live involves three things: music appreciation, sonic curation, and media preservation. The more that I hang out in the world of Creative Commons licensed music, the more it seems like this world covers all three of those factors. <br /><br />This episode just fell into my lap suddenly. It was three weeks ago that Douglas Whitfield contacted me about appearing on the podcast and making the rounds to a few shows prior to <a href="https://netlabelday.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Netlabel Day</a>. It was the perfect opportunity to learn more about Creative Commons music and the licenses that these works are released under from someone who is immersed in that world far more than I am. Doug is one of the co-founders of the <a href="https://ccmusicawards.com/" target="_blank">CC Community Music Awards</a> and used to co-host the <a href="https://www.musicmanumit.com/" target="_blank">Music Manumit Podcast</a> alongside Tom Ray of the band <a href="https://www.lorenzosmusic.com/" target="_blank">Lorenzo's Music</a>, interviewing other CC musicians and tech developers for several years. He also works as a contracts manager for blocGLOBAL alongside Michael Gregoire (founder and owner of the <a href="https://blocsonic.com/" target="_blank">blocSonic netlabel</a>). On top of that, he's also a co-host of the weekly <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@cccommunitymusicawards" target="_blank">CCCMA Listening Party</a> on YouTube, showcasing videos from CC musicians from across the globe.</p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oeNgpU0LHcI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>Admittedly, there are times during this interview where things can get a bit technical, particularly when talking about the CC licenses themselves and how they function. However, I hope that this episode (along with the next one) can serve as a beneficial resource for those just finding out about the world of CC music and want a more intricate explanation of how it all works. Speaking of music, a handful of tunes break up the conversation here and there, including an introspective electronic tune from the <a href="https://www.abstraktreflections.net/" target="_blank">Abstrakt Reflections netlabel</a>, a bouncy and sample-happy groove from the <a href="https://ccmixter.org" target="_blank">CCMixter</a> community, and three from blocSonic (including a pair of tunes from 2023 CCCMA winners <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/spiedkiks">Spiedkiks</a>). This one's a bit different from how things usually go on the BSOTS podcast feed, but I think that the change of pace is one that came at the right time. I certainly hope that you enjoy the featured musical selections and that the information shared on this episode is both interesting and helpful.<b><i></i></b></p><p><b><i>Other key info:<br /></i></b><a href="https://blocsonic.com/bloccasts/episode/the-doug-whitfield-episode" target="_blank">Tha Bloc Report Episode 30: The Doug Whitfield Episode</a><br /><a href="https://ryno.cc/" target="_blank">Ryno The Bearded</a><br /><a href="https://soundcloud.com/headphonica" target="_blank">Headphonica netlabel</a><br /><a href="https://queuepoints.com/" target="_blank">Queue Points Podcast</a><br /><br />BSOTS theme music by Cy Tru (edited by Macedonia).

<p style="background-color: #141414; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Looking back over the last ten shows for the BSOTS podcast feed, eight of them featured at least one Creative Commons licensed tune. Even after more than 15 years of podcasting, the CC music landscape still feels like largely uncharted territory for me, which is probably why I've felt the need to dig through the online crates to see what I can find. In addition, I've been listening to prior BSOTS episodes from over a decade ago, revisiting the music that I have played on the show and taking note of the songs that still sound great to me so that I can reintroduce them on future episodes. This show marks Camp Lo-Fi's long overdue return to the feed and is where my CC music appreciation agenda kicks into high gear. The seven songs featured are a mix of tunes from prior BSOTS episodes alongside selections receiving their first spins, cutting across genre and released between 2009 and 2023.<br /><br />The <a href="http://blocsonic.com/" target="_blank">blocSonic netlabel</a> opened my eyes and ears to the world of CC licensed music. It was through their <a href="https://blocsonic.com/releases/type/netblocs" target="_blank">netBloc</a> series of compilations that I was introduced to a network of artists and online labels, most of it (if not all) available to freely download and share. The blocSonic offerings in this episode are courtesy of last year's album from Wals and a stellar cut from Public Enemy (as heard on <a href="https://blocsonic.com/releases/various-artists/netbloc-vol-44-break-from-the-system-that-gotcha" target="_blank">netBloc vol. 44</a>), featuring the always on-point lyricism of Chuck D and special guest Brother Ali. Another notable hip-hop moment is "Zo0o0o0p!!!," the brief but absolutely banging cut from Kidkanevil featuring Oddisee, a ridiculously talented emcee and producer whose music I've been championing on this show for well over a decade. Isak Gaines moves us into the unpredictable and experimental side of jazz with "Dance Of Contradictions," a song that sonically lives up to its title. A bouncy yet broken groove for the first half of the song gives way to a beatless abyss of sound effects and saxophone screeches before bringing the hammer down with a distorted bass line and a defiant horn section.<br /><br />Niki J Crawford's "Ridiculous Love" was an unexpected surprise that I stumbled upon over on <a href="https://www.jamendo.com/" target="_blank">Jamendo</a>, a sultry soul offering made all the more seductive with the wetSkin Hot Summer ReMix. It's percussion heavy with a slight Brazilian influence and a breezy shuffle topped with acoustic guitar strums and Niki's powerhouse vocals. Yoko Absorbing's "Old Futuro Blues" is a short, sweet, and somewhat off-kilter cut that lives in repeated moments of loops, locked grooves, and live instrumentation. And there's probably no better example of the sonic treasures waiting to be discovered over at the <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/" target="_blank">Free Music Archive</a> than live recordings of legendary poet Nikki Giovanni. "In The Spirit Of Martin" is her ode to not only the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but to the struggle and perseverance of the Civil Rights movement as a whole.<br /><br />If you're Creative Commons curious but have been unsure where to start looking, hopefully episodes like these can demystify this world of music one song at a time. Thank you so much for listening.</p><p style="background-color: #141414; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i>ID drop courtesy of DarrenKeith.

Roughly a week after Jam Master Jay's murder, the bile in my belly fueled a rant in my brain and it all came spilling out onto my computer keyboard. More emotional than logical, it wears my sarcasm and cynicism like spike-studded armor. I'm definitely in my "I said what I said" bag here, back when I had no problems taking an either/or approach when dividing music into rigid yet subjective categories like "commercial" vs. "alternative" and viewing hip-hop as if it were a sonic civil war with only two sides: "conscious" vs. "gangsta." I had one foot out the door of the culture and the music when I wrote this and it shows.<br /><br />Creative Commons licensed tunes break up the commentary, featuring selections from netlabels like <a href="https://blocsonic.com" target="_blank">blocSonic</a> and <a href="https://dustedwax.org" target="_blank">Dusted Wax Kingdom</a> as well as cuts scattered across <a href="https://bandcamp.com" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>, <a href="https://www.jamendo.com" target="_blank">Jamendo</a>, and the <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org" target="_blank">Free Music Archive</a>. The blocSonic cuts include guest verses from Chuck D of Public Enemy and Darryl "DMC" McDaniels of Run-DMC. The sound of dusty vinyl underneath certain parts of the commentary comes directly from a project entitled <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/File_Under_Toner/This_Is_The_End_Beautiful_Friend" target="_blank">This Is The End, Beautiful Friend</a> by <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/File_Under_Toner/" target="_blank">File Under Toner</a>. The description of this project on the Free Music Archive begins with the following question: "Are the hiss, crackles, and pops on records protected by copyrights?" All of the featured sounds are from the locked grooves at the end of various records, which get messed with using delay, reverb and other audio techniques. I thought that these works added just the right amount of tension at certain times, more than traditional background music would. The locked grooves running into themselves in this circumstance just sound so stark, like it's occupying the space where Jam Master Jay's cutting and scratching used to reside.<br /><br />I live with me all the time, enough to know that the longer I hold on to this episode, the more that my own doubts and anxieties will keep me from releasing it into the podosphere, so I have to let it go. It's going to do whatever it does. Here's hoping that you will give this one a shot and consider it time well spent.</p><p>ID drop courtesy of Kahlief Adams.

few months ago, I came to the conclusion that I use my podcast feed
like a pop-up shop, disappearing for indefinite periods of time until I
have something to share with the public and then returning to the
podosphere without so much as an alert or hardly an announcement. Parts
of my being remain 100% unapologetic about that. For someone who's
been podcasting since August of 2005 with the initial hopes that this
show would reach as many listeners as possible, one would think that I
wouldn't have such a disdain for online public interaction. Then again,
I can't remember the last time I've attended a podcasting conference.
Maybe it's a sign of getting older, maybe it's just a result of me
doubling down on my hardcore introverted tendencies ever since the
COVID-19 pandemic started.</p> <p>Late in the month of June, I got this
burst of inspiration and recorded some voiceovers, which sat untouched
on a SD card for almost two months before I started editing them.
Seeing as how the month of August is an anniversary month for Radio
BSOTS, I suppose it makes sense that the final push to get this episode
out is happening now. The songs featured on this one were released
between 2013 and 2021, the majority of which came out in 2020. Seeing
as how America and the world is still in the midst of the aftereffects
of that catastrophic year, that's probably not a coincidence, either. A
number of these selections reflect the racial strife that came to a
head two summers ago along with a lyrically critical eye on Trump's
presidential agenda (never mind the perpetual state of the pandemic
that we're still not out of, but a large section of humanity pretends
isn't really a thing anymore).</p> <p>So this is my summer offering from
Camp Lo-Fi. Eleven songs plus a 17 year-old blog entry equals 49
minutes of your time, served up in a BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD style.
(Admittedly, the music does the heavy lifting.) Hopefully, you will
consider it time well spent. Thank you for listening.</p> <p>ID drop courtesy of Kahlief Adams.

I had a Frank Zappa album title in my head while creating this show (<i>Does Humor Belong In Music?</i>), but ultimately it's a reaction to all of the DMCA takedowns issued to podcasters by the RIAA last year and this year. In fact, I received an unauthorized material notice of my own early on in 2020 (for a song that I never played), and now seems like the perfect time to finally share that story. In addition, I talk about the days when resources like Podsafe Music Network and IODA Promonet were still around, back when it felt like the term "podsafe music" was more concrete and not some abstract theory or intangible concept.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: #141414;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">All of the songs featured in this episode are Creative Commons-licensed tracks, meaning that they're all free to download, to share, and to enjoy.

It's a mix of hip-hop and electronic cuts including a pair of gamer jams and even a live cut from 2017 featuring Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab fame. I think this episode is the right one for Camp Lo-Fi to ease its way back into the podosphere. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: #141414;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="color: white; font-size: 13px;">(By the way, the "podsafe artist" drops featured in this episode all date back to 2008. <a href="https://twitter.com/Outasight" target="_blank">Outasight</a>, <a href="http://aoamusic.com/" target="_blank">Astronauts of Antiquity</a>, and yes, <a href="https://wendyandlisa.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Wendy & Lisa</a> were all working with <a href="https://www.cyberprmusic.com/" target="_blank">Ariel Publicity & Cyber PR</a> at the time.

Real talk: as long as this lands in the podosphere before November's over, I'll chalk that up as a win.<br /><br />As the last installment of the Tranquil Beats series, I think this one is far and away the best of the five. The blend session for this playlist of songs was recorded on Halloween and it feels really inspired. This one will probably speak to the beat junkies and sample hunters more than the others. From the live take on a Nas instrumental by Will Sessions to Just Plain Ant messing around with Donald Byrd to CASTLE's psychedelic head nods infused with the work of The Rotary Connection, there are a number of beautiful selections here. Jesse Futerman's "I Love You So" represents those moments with instrumentals like these where one can't tell where the sampling ends and live instrumentation begins. The sonic sweetness of Machinedrum's "Center Your Love" remains a high point (one of my favorite cuts from his Vapor City album), as well as the swirling emotional rush of Elephant And Castle's "I Will." DF Tram's "Body Fizz" makes for a wonderful closer with its playful lyrical refrain and Alice In Wonderland soundbites.<br /><br />If you're new to the Tranquil Beats series of episodes, I certainly hope that you will take the time to listen to them all.

Being reminded of just how little Black life matters while dealing with the global health pandemic took a mental and emotional toll on me that I couldn't ignore. This episode represents my way of dealing with it while holding onto the joy that this world (and particularly this nation) tries to steal away and claim for itself.<br /><br />This one feels like a return to form. Since it's clear that the RIAA have become the music podcast feds in 2020, my renewed interest in Creative Commons-licensed music couldn't have come at a better time. Along with a few CC cuts in hand, I'm also going to bat for the work of good friends of mine. There's an energy in this episode that reminds me of the excitement that I had about podcasting back when I first started. Considering how upside down everything in the world feels to me right now, there's something reassuring about that.</p><p>ID drops courtesy of <a href="https://twitter.com/anjibee" target="_blank">Anji Bee</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/Kahjahkins" target="_blank">Kahlief Adams</a>.

Perhaps it's the delicate nature of life in general as a global health pandemic and increasing social and racial unrest threaten to take us all hostage while election season ramps up in the States, but the need to be creative during this uncertain and unstable time has been lighting a fire under me. It made sense to return with a set of instrumental tunes on the chill side of things, although one could argue that a number of these songs aren't necessarily as "tranquil" as the episode's title would lead one to believe.<br /><br />I freely admit that there's some nervous energy to some of these selections, but it mirrors the unease of society right now. The glitches and twitches that can be heard in the Yoggyone Remix of UKU's "Forest 5am" remind me of moving with caution through a world where COVID-19 constantly reminds us why it's imperative to do so. The bleeps and squelches of Lavender Worm's "Hot Barbeque" remind me of the need to have fun and be silly, to carve out a space where moments like that can exist in the midst of so much confusion and frustration. Then there are songs that just SLAP, like Presto's "Smooth Flow." It's a song that I first came across over a decade ago on IODAPromonet (a podsafe music source that went extinct back in 2013) and still makes me bob my head to the point of where it may permanently separate from my neck. Vocal samples weave their way in and out of these songs, but I let Lovespirals have the last word with their new single "Why Not Today?"<br /><br />Considering how volatile the world is right now, even the noisiest moments of this mix are tranquil in comparison. Hopefully, these selections will allow listeners to take a much-needed breather, even if only for an hour. </p><p>ID drops courtesy of <a href="https://twitter.com/tgrundy" target="_blank">TGrundy</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/myloveformusic2" target="_blank">DarrenKeith</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Kahlee310" target="_blank">Kahlee</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/ejflavors" target="_blank">EJ Flavors</a>. </p><p>Background music includes the following:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.theagriculture.com/qpe.html" target="_blank">qpe</a> - <a href="https://qpemusic.bandcamp.com/track/milk" target="_blank">milk</a><br /><a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/badluck" target="_blank">BADLUCK</a> - <a href="https://blocsonic.com/releases/bsmx0022" target="_blank">Vanity (instrumental)</a> (<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/" target="_blank">CC BY 4.0</a>) </p><p>Other key info:<br /><a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/macedonia/" target="_blank">Macedonia on Mixcloud</a><br /><a href="https://bondfireradio.com/shows/bsots-on-bondfire" target="_blank">BSOTS on Bondfire Radio</a><br /><a href="http://josephaleo.com/blog/soundwave-19/" target="_blank">Macedonia's guest mix for the SOUNDWAVE mix series</a><br /><a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/josephaleo/" target="_blank">Joseph Aleo on Mixcloud</a><br /></p>Jason Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01054005703392953588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774872439502593130.post-34202506300684238732020-02-03T20:56:00.000-08:002020-02-03T20:56:14.158-08:00Radio BSOTS show #171 - BUCKWILD: The Faith-Based Practice of Podcasting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a delayed transmission, recorded in December of 2019 with finishing touches and edits donethe following month. It's rather odd how I keep returning to this knowing the inevitable delays that will prevent the next episode from surfacing online sooner than I would like. The recording and editing of a show: those are the places I want to live all the time. Things like show notes and updating RSS feeds, however...that's another story. And then there's the "hey! look over here" aspect of it all, the marketing campaign that has to take place after you've created a thing, be it through social media blasts or other means. It's a strange game of faith that content creators play. In a day and an age where it seems like everyone wants to get in on podcasting, I find it rather presumptuous to think that someone would want to listen to mine (even though I know for a fact that some people have for years now).<br />
<br />
Maybe I've been doing this for too long, but this is the thing that I turn to when the world (and particularly the work days) get to be too much. I don't do this for monetization's sake. I don't do this for sponsors. I still do this for the reasons that I did it back in 2005: as a creative outlet and for my own sanity. The need for a primal scream in my podcast feed every now and then was the whole reason why the "buckwild" episodes began in the first place. I was overdue for another one of these and considering that the world feels like it's on fire, perhaps these types of episodes ought to be released more frequently.<br />
<br />
However you might have stumbled upon this, thank you for taking the time to listen. It's 2020, y'all. Here goes nothin'.<br />

<br />
After <a href="https://radiobsots.blogspot.com/2018/06/radio-bsots-show-169-two-weeks-off-from.html" target="_blank">Episode #169 </a>hit the Web in June of 2018, everything went quiet for the BSOTS podcast feed, but it's not like I planned it that way. Consistency existed in the radio broadcast form of this show, with a new episode airing on <a href="http://bondfireradio.com/" target="_blank">Bondfire Radio</a> every other Friday. Meanwhile, the podcast feed has been no stranger to pregnant pauses between episodes over the past few years. I used to refer to it as "podghosting" - just disappearing from the scene for months at a time only to pop up in someone's podcatcher of choice unannounced like everything was normal. A lot has happened since I first started this show in August of 2005. Even though I was releasing two episodes a month in the early days, I never wanted to record an episode just to record one. It was important for me to know that I had something to say, that there was a purpose behind whatever episode that I was releasing next. As the years progressed and the length of time between episodes grew from weeks to months, that belief of not speaking until I have something to say became more entrenched in my being. I haven't changed my opinion where the podcast is concerned, but it's more than that.<br />
<br />
I had a really good talk with my best friend while I was typing this and we discovered that we were experiencing the same creative crisis. We had become isolated and separated from those that inspired us, those that helped spark our creative energy. Between that isolation and the weekly routine of squandering energy at our respective day jobs (never getting back the same amount that we put in), it's no wonder why we found ourselves in a place of creative apathy. And then there's the question of "who's going to actually care about this?" I haven't said it out loud, but in a world of hundreds of thousands of podcasts, that thought has certainly kept me from releasing a new episode until now.<br />
<br />
So this is me getting back to home base and back to basics. This is me fighting off creative apathy and self-doubt. This is me reminding myself that I am so much more than a customer service rep during the day. This is me reminding myself not to neglect what I had before I had a radio show. This is me remembering that the podcast was the place where I could get personal. This is me slowly reintroducing myself to what it was that I loved about podcasting in the first place. They say that you can't go home again, but I need to give this a shot, to reclaim the space that I had carved out for myself back when it was a lot harder to do so, back when I didn't have high-speed internet or a computer capable of having iTunes installed and I still made it work because I wanted to be a part of this THAT much.<br />
<br />
I figured that I would ease myself back into the podosphere with a mix of chilled out instrumental music for chaotic times such as these. Should you feel the need to take a breather, this one's for you. Thank you for listening.<br />

"Every day breathing in the United States is an away game for the Black man."<br />
-Rich Medina, DJ/Producer/Poet, <a href="https://www.beatsociety.com/beat-society-podcast-1" target="_blank">Beat Society Podcast, Episode No. 8</a><br />
<br />
The title of this episode first came to mind back in July of 2016, shortly after the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Since then, it was put on the back burner and I knew I wanted to use it eventually. After hearing that Brother Sterling's killers weren't being charged and then the police shooting of Stephon Clark in Sacramento, CA, as well as far too many incidences of 911 calls on my people for simply existing, it just made sense to put together a show during this moment in time...where Starbucks locations nationwide have to close for a day so that their employees can learn how to simply treat all people like human freaking beings.<br />
<br />
I recorded the music mixes for the show back on April 4th, the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The first part deals heavily with police brutality. By extension, it also goes into what happens when Black people internalize the hatred that this nation has for us. Sometimes that hatred is thrust upon each other in both subtle and overt ways. The second part of the mix was inspired by the movie Black Panther, thinking about Africa, and wanting to make my own Wakandan soundtrack.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that I recorded the opening voice over about a month before the NFL ruling on protests protests while the National Anthem is being played. Seems like the longer I waited to release this episode, the more relevant it became. Seeing as how I prefer to not have to make episodes like these at all, I really wish that weren't the case.<br />
<br />
Should there be someone in your life working through the confusion, rage, sadness, and (let's just call it what it is) PTSD that comes with being Black in America, please share this episode with them.<br />

<br />
For the first time in Radio BSOTS history, a new year begins in BUCKWILD fashion. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised that this hasn't happened before. And seeing as how my 2018 has already proven to be challenging, it seems just as well that this show would premiere now rather than closing out 2017. Everything happens for a reason.<br />
<br />
This show may take more personal turns this year. While that remains to be seen, I can remember just getting into podcasting back in 2005, holding the belief that the podcast should be the audio extension of the blog. I thought it should straddle the fence between the professional and the personal. Lately I've been feeling the need to tell stories through music, to find the narrative that weaves together all these songs that I've been coming across. I also know that I need to speak from the heart more when I have something to say. I pick my words carefully (not enough people do), but I ought to share them when it comes time to say something.<br />
<br />
I don't know what this year will bring for Radio BSOTS. And neither do you. That makes us even. Let's find out together.<br />

<br />
It's been way too long since I've done a show like this, but the activity on the Internet surrounding net neutrality back in July (which has intensified as of late with all the talks of <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/23/16694128/net-neutrality-protests-fcc-ajit-pai-internet" target="_blank">repeals by the FCC</a>) inspired me to reexamine the world of Creative Commons-licensed tunes again. Not only that, but the <a href="http://netlabelday.blogspot.com/p/home.html" target="_blank">3rd Annual Netlabel Day</a> happened in July as well, releasing a ton of free and legal music for the people. I started mixing tunes together from the <a href="http://freemusicarchive.org/" target="_blank">Free Music Archive</a> during Labor Day Weekend and it's still fun discovering songs through that resource because there's no telling what you might find there.<br />
<br />
The show opens and closes with words from Michael Weinberg (formerly with Public Knowledge, now with Shapeways) speaking on net neutrality. (His interview segments are part of a <a href="http://freemusicarchive.org/music/FMA_Overlords/Net_Neutrality_Sample_Pack/" target="_blank">sample pack posted on the FMA</a> for artists to remix and make their own work with.) In between, you'll find selections crossing various genres, from hip-hop and house to gospel and experimental works. All of the songs heard within this episode are available for free download to share and enjoy. I hope that this episode can serve as a gateway for someone listening to do their own digging through the FMA for more CC-licensed gems.<br />

In August of last year, I served as the guest curator for the Tranquil Beats playlist series on <a href="http://bondfireradio.com/" target="_blank">Bondfire Radio</a>. This episode of Radio BSOTS features the cuts I chose to play on a Tuesday throughout that month.<br />
<br />
There are far too many reasons to keep chill out tunes within your reach these days. Hopefully, this mix is able to meet you where you're at and take you somewhere else, if need be. Either that or keep your soul and spirit stabilized in that good place. For anyone who missed the first mix of tunes played on Mondays in August, you can find that episode <a href="http://radiobsots.blogspot.com/2016/11/radio-bsots-show-162-tranquil-beats.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

This show was recorded in stages between the months of March and April 2017. I think the last time BSOTS got "buckwild" was in December of 2015, so this podcast has been long overdue for another primal scream. A lot has happened since then, both in my life and the world at large. There's plenty of music contained within this episode that speaks at length on the problems of the world today. At the same time, there's music for the body to provide some balance. As I always say with every "buckwild" episode, music for the party people, music for those that stay politickin', and music for the rest of us who find ourselves somewhere in between. Hope you enjoy it.<br />

<br />
This podcast episode is a two-fold celebration. First off, this show marks the beginning of the 2017 podcast year for Radio BSOTS. Not only that, but this show is also being released as part of the 10th Anniversary <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CupidsHuntPodcastCollaboration" target="_blank">Cupid's Hunt Podcast Collaboration</a>. Since 2008, music lovers, DJs, and podcasters have been gathering together and releasing music mixes in honor of Valentine's Day. The celebration at <a href="http://www.cupidshunt.com/" target="_blank">Cupid's Hunt</a> is a month-long thing, seeing as how this project has hit the 10 year mark.<br />
<br />
My Cupid's Hunt offering for this year began by asking a simple question: what would it sound like to try to tell the plot of the movie <u><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oiY7W7nDeE" target="_blank">Blue Valentine</a></u> through music? In no way am I suggesting that I have accomplished this, but the idea of pulling that off was a driving force behind this episode. Pink Floyd's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBpbWEpGORM" target="_blank">Don't Leave Me Now</a>" from The Wall soundtrack also served as a major influence for this mix. Both of those pieces of information go a long way to suggest that this is not the typical Valentine's Day mix, but I've been moving further away from the traditional collection of love songs since 2013. I didn't know it then, but I had started to create a trilogy. It only dawned on me that I was making a trilogy once I started to map out the song sequence of this mix. The offerings from past Cupid's Hunt mixes in <a href="http://www.bsots.com/restless/index.blog/1444463/bsots-134-catchin-feelings-love-and-variations-thereof/" target="_blank">2013</a> and <a href="http://radiobsots.blogspot.com/2015/02/radio-bsots-show-154-cupids-hunt-2015.html" target="_blank">2015</a> seem to share a common thread with this one.<br />
<br />
Four years ago, I became far more interested in the gray areas of love, all the emotions that can often be confused for it or offered up as a substitute when there's no love to give. This mix is no different. I wanted to explore what goes on behind the social media veneer of smiling faces and vacation shots. There's hurt behind the lives that we create online for the public to see and as far as I'm concerned, the real emotions underneath make for a far more interesting story to tell within the mix.<br />
<br />
I certainly hope that you enjoy this mix and will find the time to listen to the previous parts of the trilogy, if you haven't already.<br />

This Radio BSOTS episode is actually a <a href="http://bondfireradio.com/" target="_blank">Bondfire Radio</a> broadcast that I wanted to share with the podcast feed subscribers. It's a show that celebrates the music of the fiercely independent <a href="https://www.bbemusic.com/" target="_blank">Barely Breaking Even (BBE) Records label</a>, so I figured that this would be a great one to share with those that have yet to experience a BSOTS on Bondfire broadcast in its entirety.<br />
<br />
BBE has been celebrating its 20th Anniversary all year long. The playlist below represents a mere toe dip in the pool of their massive catalog, but it speaks to the diversity of this great label. Hope you enjoy the show.<br />

<br />
Early on in 2016, <a href="http://bondfireradio.com/" target="_blank">Bondfire Radio</a> began a playlist series called Tranquil Beats. Focused on chilled out instrumental music, this playlist opens and closes the broadcast day Monday through Friday (9 a.m. and 12 midnight, EST). A new guest curator is invited to select music to feature every month. I took on the guest curator role for August of 2016.<br />
<br />
Normally, Bondfire asks for individual songs from the guest curator that are played in whatever order they see fit. From the website, listeners can see both the artist name and song titles as they play. This episode features my Tranquil Beats picks that were played on Mondays in August, but they are presented in more of a mix tape style rather than a playlist one. This is not the same order in which the songs were originally broadcast on Bondfire, either. I just felt like the podcast audience should have something a little different.<br />
<br />
This show is dedicated to all my USA heads who will be suffering from P.T.S.D. due to the 2016 presidential election campaign. We all need a moment to decompress and I certainly hope that the songs within this episode can help with that effort.<br />

<br />
As a person who never wants the summer to end, I can't say that September is one of my favorite months. It's the usual routine: back to work, back to school, back to life, back to reality. And for me, it's back to BSOTS on the podcast end of things. The broadcast side of my life has been thriving thanks to <a href="http://bondfireradio.com/" target="_blank">Bondfire Radio</a> and there's no reason why I can't dive into those archives to create shows for the podcast feed. Not everyone gets to hear the live broadcasts, so I should make more of a concerted effort to bring some of that back to home base.<br />
<br />
Continuing with the playlist approach from the previous episode, all of the songs in this show (except for "Mothership Riddim") were pulled from 2015 broadcasts along with a few talkover moments. The selections within this show include everything from hip-hop and drum and bass to gospel house and even some Afrobeat from Eastern Europe. While it's not brand new music, I do believe that quite a few of these joints have a timeless quality to them and will still sound good a decade from now. Beyond that, at least one song in this episode will be new to someone out there. Perhaps your next favorite artist is hiding out within this playlist. Here's hoping that you enjoy the show and will share it with someone else who loves music. :-]<br />

I could list a dozen reasons as to why I haven't done this earlier, but none of them would be good ones. For any one who ever wondered what on earth has been keeping me from creating new podcast episodes, the live broadcasts for <a href="http://bondfireradio.com/" target="_blank">Bondfire Radio</a> every other Friday certainly have something to do with it. With that being the case, I figured that I really ought to bring the <a href="http://bondfireradio.com/radio-bsots" target="_blank">BSOTS on Bondfire</a> broadcast experience to the podcast feed.<br />
<br />
Big shout out to <a href="https://twitter.com/classickmateria" target="_blank">Classick Material</a> of the <a href="http://cspn.us/" target="_blank">Cold Slither Podcast Network</a>, whose encouragement served as inspiration for me to finally get this show done. With that being said, it's clear that consistency lies on the broadcast side of things, so for more Bondfire archives and to subscribe to the broadcast feed, just go <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/both-sides-of-the-surface" target="_blank">here</a> to make that happen.<br />

<p><p>
Despite the fact that I'm typing this on the last day of January, I'm still saying "Happy New Year" to you all. Feel free to hate on me if I'm still saying it come Easter Sunday, but as for right now, 2016 is still young.
<p>
I always like to start off a new year of Radio BSOTS by looking back at the previous year of music and things are no different this time around. There are quite a few releases that came out within the last four months of the year that I think were exceptional and shine some light on those that we should keep tabs on in 2016, particularly Mizan K and Sarah Williams White. If you've been listening to the show for a few years, you know of my love for Harleighblu. Word has it that she'll be working on a full-length this year, which has me really excited. Beyond that, the new album from Chi Turner was originally scheduled for a February 7th release, but dropped early on his <a href="https://chiturner.bandcamp.com">Bandcamp page</a>. It's a really special one, certainly his best release to date.
<p>
Other highlights in the show include Satele's drum and bass take on A Tribe Called Quest instrumentals, the feverish remix of Moresounds provided by Clap! Clap!, the self-love affirmed by Rat Habitat, the melodic perfection of Prefuse 73 and My Panda Shall Fly, and the cathartic energy of Young Fathers. And let's not even get into how relevant a song "Don't Poison All The Water" by Mo Kolours is in light of the water crisis in Flint, MI.
<p>
There's so much more that I could say about the music, but it's always best to let it speak for itself. I invite you to listen and (hopefully) enjoy.
