spinnin' pretty in jersey city: macedonia on wfmu
Now Playing: aunt jessica - thin air
Topic: music appreciation

this morning, i hosted WFMU's Listener Hour. with my podcast, i'm always concerned with making sure everything that i play is "podsafe" - getting permission from artists and labels or acquiring music from online safe havens like the podsafe music network or ioda promonet. with that said, it was nice to be able to spin whatever i wanted for an hour. i'm so happy that i got a chance to do this. still all smiles at the end of the day... brought back a lot of great memories of college radio for me...

after a nervous slip-up in the beginning, it was relatively smooth sailing from here. fumbling over my words a little bit, but it's been a while since i've been on the air (almost nine years since i last hosted a radio show at WCDB). i had a lot of fun and it was a great way to start off the morning. many thanks to Brian Turner for getting things set up. respect due to Bill Mac and Michael Shelley for great shows before me and after me, respectively.

below is a playlist on the songs broadcast for my edition of the Listener Hour. audio archives of the show are hosted by WFMU and can be found here. i'm listed under my birth name (jason smith) for march 3, 2007. normally, streaming MP3 files are online for two weeks before they're taken off the site. the realaudio files stay up there forever...

if this doesn't get me active, nothing will...
Now Playing: djserv1 - j dilla tribute

about a half hour ago, i'm helping out a customer with correcting prices on their purchase order. somewhere in the middle of the conversation, the customer sighs and says, "i'm getting a headache...you do this for a living?" after a necessary pause (because i couldn't believe that i was given an opening like that by a customer), i simply said, "unfortunately, yes." a few more seconds go by and he respoonds with, "well, it's not what i would want to do for a living, i can tell you that."

that's it. i have GOT to get out of here. and if this doesn't get me active, nothing will.

kruder & dorfmeister - g-stoned ep
Now Playing: wefunkradio.com
Topic: music appreciation

this is the joint that turned me on to g-stone back in 1994, i think it was. when eightball records was still open in nyc, the cat playing records behind the counter wouldn't let me leave the store until he played something from k&d. the cut was "high noon." it had me dancing in the store. been one of my favorite cuts ever since.

i love the fact that they replicated a simon & garfunkel album cover perfectly with their poses - it's almost eerie how exact it is. i hear that this is difficult to find on vinyl these days, so i figured i'd throw up the bleep player and let heads check out some joints. on the real, if you don't have it already, cop this...

BSOTS 035 - blends session: the return of the eclecticon
Now Playing: aloe blacc - happy now? (stonesthrow.com)
Topic: my podcasts

i have got to find another system for getting my show notes done. no more of this "put them up two days after i post my show" crap...

this is the first BSOTS blends session of the new year. musically, it's all over the place. some house, a little broken beat, brass bands, electronic funk and pop...it's another one of those "you're just gonna have to trust me" mixes. i do like how things start off. there's something about the opener that reminds me of early prince. perhaps it's the bass and the freeze-dried drum kit sounds in it. then there's psykosoul, who's all about his royal badness. check out the title of the song: that's "prince" spelled backwards. the title is the exact copyright prince published his songs under for his first album.

some of these songs go on for way too long, so it's more of a string songs together type of thing than full-on segues. at any rate, hope there's something you dig on here.

speaking of which, if you're diggin' Radio BSOTS and you also happen to hang out at digg.com, please digg this podcast. thanks...

BSOTS 034 - podsafe picks for 2006 (pt. three)
Now Playing: Nickel & Dime Radio w/Small Change (wfmu.org)
Topic: my podcasts

this show wraps up the look back at 2006 with a few artists i hadn't gotten around to yet. of course, i have to give my local heads some love, so i rock a quick mini-set on their behalf. hip-hop and electronic joints mainly for this episode.

both the dj wally and dj olive albums i rep for on this show are sick. ditto for dabrye as well. how sick? preview some cuts from each via the embedded bleep players and you be the judge.

and as i like to say as of late, if you're diggin' the show, please digg this show. respect due...
