Radio BSOTS show #149 - Grooves and Gratitude
Without you, this show is simply rhythms and vocals in a vacuum. Leave feedback at 1-206-278-0751 or the Speakpipe page, or email us at radiobsots@gmail.com.
Radio BSOTS celebrated its 9th Anniversary in August of this year. Between a much-needed vacation and the back-to-school/work whirlwind that was September, I am just getting around to completing this episode, but that's okay. It gives me an excuse to stretch out for this one and play cuts from artists that I've been supporting since the early days of this podcast while surrounding them with new cuts coming in from all over the planet. Not only that, but I wanted to set some time aside to show love to the listeners and my fellow podcasters who have supported me throughout the years.
This episode includes a BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD mini-mix entitled "The Ferguson Suite," which was inspired by the murder of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson and the protests that took place this past Summer in Ferguson, MO. The mix includes excerpts from a Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford entitled "America: Young Black Men Have No Right To Life" as well as brief remarks from poet Nikki Giovanni taken from "Introduction to In The Spirit of Martin." The visceral cut from Jasiri X and the heart-breaking plea from J. Cole not only speak to the immediacy of the Ferguson situation, but to the growing trend of Black lives snuffed out by police brutality. At the same time, works from Ms. Lauren Hill, Mystic and the late Amiri Baraka help put things in a historical context, shedding light on just how long the struggle for freedom has been taking place.
Whether you're a first-time listener or a long-time listener, I truly hope that you enjoy this episode and will continue to check out future shows. Love and respect...
