Sometimes when I need inspiration to tap into that "buckwild" energy for an upcoming episode, I'll return to a film that I have referenced on this show several times over the years:  God Bless America, released in 2011 and written/directed by Bobcat Goldthwait.  It's a dark comedy that's meant to be satirical, but I just watched it again and in 2025, it would be funnier if it didn't feel like a brutally honest reflection of present-day life in the USA.  It all feels upside down right now and unbearably cruel.  In one scene, Frank (the protagonist of the movie) asks his co-worker a question that I often ask myself:  "Why have a civilization anymore if we no longer are interested in being civilized?"  Whenever my mind gets stuck on that question, that usually means that it's time for BSOTS to get BUCKWILD.

I started recording this in November thinking that it would be finished and online during my birthday month, but to no avail.  Cold symptoms slowed me down midway through the month and its effect may be noticeable during my voice overs in the second half of the episode.  Strangely enough, I think that the cold gave me just the right amount of irritation that I needed during my final talk break in defense of podcasting for fun.  I'm probably one of the last podcasters that will admit to doing that, but I'm also a creative being who takes issue with referring to my work as "content," and I'll never make it in the industry with that attitude.

The "buckwild" episodes are always a great time to play some music with abrasive energy and irreverent personality.  "Shenanigans" feels like the lynchpin cut of the show.  Released at least 15 years ago, it's still potent in its lyricism and production.  Respect due to my brother Mtume Gant f/k/a Core Rhythm, who attacks the microphone on this joint alongside Conscious and Sum.  "Relief Checks" is that "barely making it" working class / working poor sentiment that I'm sure a lot of stateside residents can relate to right about now.  Much like Mtume, I've been representing for the music of Mikal Amin for as long as I've been producing this show.  Mikal and producer Mista Mayday share a friendship that goes back 30 years, and it's always great to hear these two still gettin' it in for the love of hip-hop.  The JP Reynolds joint hit me like a ton of bricks.  "Buried Alive" is the opening cut of his new E.P. REVIVAL: The Cutting Room Floor.  Due to the vulnerability captured in JP's voice as he spit these lyrics, I felt like he had eavesdropped on my emotions at the time that I heard it.  

If it's a dog eat dog world, then the Trump administration is all too ready to hand out stars-and-stripes-ridden milkbone boxer briefs to the majority of America's citizens.  I was able to find a few Creative Commons tunes that reflect the times.  "The Democrats" by Carsie Blanton sums up my thoughts leading up to the 2024 Presidential election while Salanje's "Texas Democracy Under Attack" drops the listener in the middle of a protest.  J. Lang's "51st State, Eh? (Rock Mix)" adds a little levity to the show, but it's also a bit sobering in retrospect.  Remember when Trump wanting Canada to be the 51st state was the craziest thing he said this year?  Way too much has happened since then.  And because we're only five years removed from the global standstill brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, I included "It's A Quarantine Thing" by Doctor Popular, featuring spot-on lyrical commentary from Mega Ran.  It's also worth mentioning that I grabbed an opening monologue from a previous "buckwild" episode released eight years ago and it feels like it could've been recorded yesterday.  Its subject matter is in perfect sync with the politically charged music selections featured within this episode.

I always look forward to the audio surprises that I stumble upon while on Bandcamp. Such is the case with Jericho Jackson, the collaborative efforts of Elzhi (emcee) and Khrysis (producer).  If you follow these artists, then you understand what a blessing it is to have even a handful of their songs in the Creative Commons canon.  "I Am Him" is a head nod essential.  Meanwhile, "Move Around" by SoSoon (a single from his recently released album Life Be Life'ing) is a boom bap ode to the NYC subway system.  The Dread's "Staring At The Sun" sits at the intersection of rock and hip-hop while Wiseman's "What A World" closes out the show leaning into the double time rhythms of drum and bass.  

It's a lot served up in just under a hour, but the "buckwild" episodes tend to move fast.  It's the occasional primal scream for the podcast feed that serves as a sonic middle finger to everything worth leaving behind in 2025 (but may still grab hold of our heels as we enter 2026).  Here goes nothin'...and I hope that you enjoy the ride.

P.S.  I mention a guest appearance on Mtume's podcast Within Our Gates within this episode, which is out now to listen to and enjoy!  Check the links below for access to our conversation...

The 30th of March came around and I couldn't sit by and continue to feel sorry for myself because I wasn't doing radio anymore.  That never stopped me from sharing music before.  And finding out that Andrew Jervis had been fired from his curatorial and hosting duties at Bandcamp was just the spark that I needed to finally set up shop and hit record.  This trial run is really just an excuse to say thank you to Andrew, to show love for all of the artists and music that he represented for proudly during his time at Bandcamp.  Not only that, but I figured I could also play some selections from the vast catalog of Ubiquity Records.  It's one of my favorite independent labels and also where I first came to learn of the discerning ear and impeccable taste of Mr. Jervis.

I only played a handful of Ubiquity selections during this session, but any time is a good time for the sounds of Shawn Lee, Radio Citizen, Bei Bei, and Nino Moschella.  "Floating" by Damon Aaron is a sleeper hit in the Ubiquity catalog:  dreamy, pastoral soul that's warm and heartfelt.  And that funk joint from Leroy & The Drivers is entirely too tough.  I lean heavy on the Bandcamp side of things and with good reason:  Jervis was the perfect host for Bandcamp Weekly, always putting the listeners on to new sounds and reminding us of choice selections from the past that still hold up today.  The list of artists that I discovered on that show is too long to mention, but this show is jam-packed with them.  Cuts from Cleo Sol, SAULT, Khruangbin, Little Simz, and Jaubi are just a few examples.  Then there are artists that I didn't see coming like Swedish sensation Dina ögon or the introverted R&B/pop song hybrid that is homeshake.  Andrew put me on to Salami Rose Joe Louis years prior to her signing to Brainfeeder Recordings.  And I'm always up for some leftfield gospel to add to my unconventional hymnal, so I had to close things out with Reverend Sam Dixon's "Anyway" (another Bandcamp Weekly jewel).

I can't say with certainty that I'll be back on a monthly basis to do this, but that is my heart's desire.  Then again, this life has a way of reminding me that my creative displays will be shared with the world when it's time and not a moment before then.

The first installment of Shielded By Headphones is here.  And for that, I am grateful.  Hope you enjoy it.

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).

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.

However you might have stumbled upon this, thank you for taking the time to listen.  It's 2020, y'all.  Here goes nothin'.

Radio BSOTS show #168 - BUCKWILD: No Place For The Quiet

New year, new chances to leave feedback.  Please feel free to get in touch via email at radiobsots@gmail.com, Twitter, or leave a voice message on the Speakpipe page.

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.

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.

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.

Radio BSOTS show #165 - BUCKWILD: Recovery Mode

Feedback is never a bad thing, so feel free to get in touch via email, Twitter, or leave a voice message on the Speakpipe page.

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.

Radio BSOTS show #164 - Cupid's Hunt 2017: grass ain't greener...

Feedback?  Certainly wouldn't mind more of that, so feel free to get in touch via email, Twitter, or leave a voice message on the Speakpipe page.

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 Cupid's Hunt Podcast Collaboration.  Since 2008, music lovers, DJs, and podcasters have been gathering together and releasing music mixes in honor of Valentine's Day.  The celebration at Cupid's Hunt is a month-long thing, seeing as how this project has hit the 10 year mark.

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 Blue Valentine 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 "Don't Leave Me Now" 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 2013 and 2015 seem to share a common thread with this one.

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.

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.

Radio BSOTS show #163 - BBE Label Profile

Feedback's always cool, so feel free to get in touch via email, Twitter, or leave a message on the Speakpipe page.

This Radio BSOTS episode is actually a Bondfire Radio broadcast that I wanted to share with the podcast feed subscribers.  It's a show that celebrates the music of the fiercely independent Barely Breaking Even (BBE) Records label, 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.

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.

Radio BSOTS show #158 - BUCKWILD: The Anger Management Mixtape

Normally, Radio BSOTS is all about the music, a platform where I get all geeked out about artists and songs and I invite you to geek out with me. And then there's this little thing called BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD, an all-too-rare occurrence where the gloves come off and you learn about me alongside the music (for better or worse).

This year's "buckwild" experience is all about anger. Technically, many of these shows have dealt with anger in some way, shape, or form, but that's another story. Two forces of nature pop up on this show in the form of soundbites: Tastykeish of Bondfire Radio's TK In The AM and longtime activist / 2008 Green Party Vice Presidential Candidate Rosa Clemente. For conceptual continuity's sake, I make mention of a previous podcast episode as well as a blog post from over two years ago. Feel free to check those out if you're curious.

Sonic catharsis begins here. Lord knows I needed it and I'm sending this one out for all those in need of a primal scream.

This show is about a week past the date that I originally wanted it to be released online.  Time challenges and a sluggish computer made things more difficult than they needed to be, but it's here.

A few corrections, if I may.  First off, "Soon Come Soon" by Young Fathers is a standalone single and is not a part of any of their albums (I erroneously attached the song to their Mercury Prize-winning album Dead).  Second, the news regarding Netlabel Day will sound dated at this point, as that event occurred on July 14, 2015.  Although that day has come and gone, we as music lovers get to reap the benefits long after the fact, so make sure to check out the list of releases to find out about all the FREE AND LEGAL music that dropped that day.

In the meantime, Camp Lo-Fi continues to play catch-up with releases from this year and last year.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Thanks for listening and please visit the Speakpipe page to leave voice message feedback.

Radio BSOTS show #152 - BUCKWILD: The Shouting Match Never Really Ended... (pt. 2)

If there is one picture that perfectly describes my Endless Shouting Matches period of podcasting, this would cover it.  I really was over the top on this show, but at least I can laugh about it now.  Besides that, this laid the groundwork for BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD, so it can't be all bad.  And there was some pretty cool music featured on this hot mess of a show.  The truth is that it wasn't meant to stick around longer than it did.  And I am more than okay with that.

Radio BSOTS show #151 - BUCKWILD: The Shouting Match Never Really Ended... (pt.1)

Without you, this show is an audience of one and I already know what it sounds like.  Leave feedback at 1-206-278-0751 or the Speakpipe page, or email us at radiobsots@gmail.com.

I feel the need to leave 2014 on a silly note and poke some fun at myself at the same time.  The BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD shows always provide a chance for me to inject some humor back into the podcast.  This show unearths some footage from a BSOTS spinoff called *endless shouting matches with yourself*.  It ran for 16 episodes (July 2006 - March 2008) and had an "anything goes" type of format.  My rants took center stage while the music added some sonic relief.  The truth is that *endless shouting matches* laid the foundation for the "buckwild" experience to exist within the BSOTS channel.

The spoken word piece that appears before the opening credits is one that I wrote back in January of 2000.  I first recorded it for episode #2 of *endless shouting matches*.  A re-recorded version appears on a previous "buckwild" episode (show #86, to be precise).  I had fun listening back to some of this footage and hopefully, you will as well.  But seeing as how this episode was recorded between a pair of non-indictments for police officers, the audio that opens the show places Eric Garner's demise into proper context regarding American history with a little help from Melissa Harris-Perry.
