I'm sure that there are many who can look back at 2011 with fond memories and thankful memories. I am not one of those people. I am chomping at the bit for this year to be over.

It bothers me that I am 38 years old and can still find a myriad of things to scream "Screw This" about. The restlessness in my being feels like a guy in a straitjacket kicking at his four padded walls nonstop. I don't know much about a lot, but I know enough to believe that it can't be good to constantly be angry. Maybe that's why I haven't done more than one "buckwild" show prior to this one. At any rate, I need the release and perhaps you do, too.

There's a 25-minute mix that's dedicated to the out of work, the overworked, the "working poor," and anyone who's ever been harrassed by the cops about anything. There's Afrobeat, Swedish jazz fusion, global soul, angry hip-hop, even a little Fishbone in the mix. Should you need to let off a primal scream before 2011 comes to a close, let this show provide the soundtrack to your moment of much-needed catharsis. Happy New Year. All the best to you in 2012.
