BSOTS 065 - afrobeatdowns and all that jazz...
Now Playing: the big cover-up w/dj small change (eastvillageradio.com)
Topic: my podcasts

this show was recorded the week of podcamp nyc 2.0, about two or three days before the "unconference." admittedly, it's a departure from the usual vibe at camp lo-fi, but one that i think is necessary.

been wanting to play "reason to be" for quite some time - same with "jealousy." the pieces of peace album has to be at least 30-35 years old at this point, thereby making "pollution" quite timely in these environmentally delicate days we live in. very happy to see "jiggy jiggy" up in the podsafe music network: when you have a chance to represent for an unquestionably talented brother like steve reid as a podcaster, YOU TAKE IT. zozo afrobeat was another pmn find, pretty hot.

however, it's the goddess that really brings the heat and that's why miss nina simone is the closer for this episode. she consistently spoke truth to power and i will always love her for that. the new protest anthology album finally brings all her fiery recordings onto one release. this is the type of music i'll be listening to when i'm an old man.

some different flavor this go 'round, but i hope you enjoy this one. and make sure that you check out switch's remix for radiohead at the top of the page...

total playing time: 56:00
