BSOTS 038 - hers. (pt. one)
Now Playing: the frail - who am i
Topic: my podcasts

my wife had an operation to remove her gall bladder this past thursday. since then, my life has been devoted to looking out for her and making sure that the child is taken care of. all this adds up to another episode sneaking in at the eleventh hour. perhaps someday this won't keep happening, but i'm not going to act like that day is anytime soon.

so this show starts a two-part series dedicated to women artists within the podsafe spectrum. i always pick selections that i like and feel deserve some sort of attention, but listening to them altogether made me say, damn, this is gonna be a good show. and i hope you'll say the same. the chukimai/anji bee collab is just unbelievably gorgeous. and don't sleep on that phil asher remix of lyricl (dig the way she worked in that donny hathaway/roberta flack chorus in her song - it just works well).

music provided by the ever reliable podsafe music network and ioda promonet. this episode covers hip-hop, house, jazz, disco, and dark downtempo rhythms. and remember: if you're diggin' Radio BSOTS, please digg this show. respect...

    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...
