when i started recording this show last week, the northeast was in the midst of a severe heatwave: 100-degree days, major humidity and all that. after a mic session, the recorder would be boiling hot, so i decided to wait to finish up until cooler temps prevailed. i have the window up while recording, so if you hear passing cars in the background, you'll know why.
with the exception of caural, the songs featured in this episode can be found over at the podsafe music network. caural came from promonet. the pmn is no joke - you even have the godfather of soul reppin' in there now. gotta love it...

the way i see it, the Bill Cosby that created the Fat Albert series is long gone. we don't even have the same Cosby that starred in the memorable Himself stand-up comedy flick. and while Heathcliff Huxtable remains a father's father, we don't have him either. instead, we're stuck with Old Coot Cosby, the guy who's on the nationwide tour telling young people to pull their pants up and turn off that "filth-flarn-filth" and letting everyone know within earshot that poor black folk will be our downfall. and it seems as if all of the Jello pudding pops in the world won't make him change his mind.
i'm only 32, and Lord knows that i'm as bitter as hell, but i hope i don't
become as conservative as Cos when i get older. at any rate, check out this

Post article where Michael Eric Dyson continues to challenge Cosby's rhetoric...
i know, it's nuts. Radio BSOTS is about to celebrate its one-year anniversary, my wife is almost eight months pregnant and we've been getting ready for the blessed arrival, work kicks my ass on the regular monday-friday, been writing reviews for impose magazine, and what do i go and do?
i start up a new show. yeah, i know, i'm crazy.
which is exactly WHY i needed to start this show. just go, i'll explain everything when you get there...
endless shouting matches with yourself
um...you *might* not want to play this one in the work place. i'm just sayin'...
today's copy of the journal news (a newspaper that covers most, if not all, of westchester county) features an article on podcasters in westchester, with a few quick quotes from yours truly.
click here to read the article online. also heard that this article appeared in the paper in rockland county as well. some cat up in connecticut blogged about it and happened to post the photos of me that appeared in the paper. click here to check out the shots...
(kinda funny that he includes me in the broadband revolution when i'm still doing everything via dial-up connections, but hey...you won't tell, i won't tell...)
i've really got to get a new microphone. craptacular ain't cute anymore. perhaps one of these days i'll learn not to record mic sessions after my driving lessons. that's a guaranteed rant waiting to happen. at any rate, good music this episode, so seek out those buylinks and support these artists.
all songs featured in this episode (with the exception of dudley perkins) can be found over at the podsafe music network or promonet.

the BSOTS testimonial
Technorati tags: Podcasting, Podcasts, Music, Radio, Hip-Hop, Soul
so this isn't an actual episode. rather it's a testimonial that i've been working on for the last couple of months. i had some life questions that i've been contemplating. this is an audio document of me talking out loud to self and to GOD. i suppose you could call it a Christian with doubts (or seriously "off days") perspective. this is much more personal and spiritual in nature than the regular BSOTS episodes, which is why it is not included in the feed. instead, this is only available as a direct download to those who might find it of interest.
this file contains discussions of spirituality and religion, namely Christianity, with references to Jesus Christ sprinkled throughout. if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to skip over it. in addition, this testimonial is largely based on some earlier blog entries of mine, which you can find here.
please note: as of friday, november 17, 2006, this file become episode #5 of endless shouting matches with yourself.

another one of those all over the place shows, but i think it makes sense musically. starts off with some deep house, then some dreamy ambient and experimental rock stuff, a live drum and bass track (real jazzy), then closing out with some grown folks hip-hop. like i said, it sounds all over the place, but trust me, it works.
as for myself, i discuss a number of things, like my wife's pregnancy, a savvy ad campaign, and my fear of driving. it's in talking about the last one that makes this show a bit longer than usual. but ranting while slightly tipsy will cause that to happen. i promise not to make this a regular occurrence, but every now and again it's bound to happen.
all songs featured in this episode can be found over at the podsafe music network.

Radio BSOTS featured on Podshow Music Rewind show #37
ah yes...camp lo-fi bum rushin' the Rewind once again...
most of the PMR clips are heavy on guitar. it's a mostly rock-centered show, so i thought i'd get my air guitar on and serve up some headbangin' treats of my own. i was bound to rep for Tamar-kali sooner or later...
you can download the show or listen to it online here.
