I haven't worked out just how many generations 18 years covers in the world of podcasting, but it's enough to know that it was a vastly different world in 2005.  A world without as many social media bells and whistles, one where few contemplated how artificial intelligence tools could improve their podcasting workflow or how to create episode teasers in the form of audiograms or Instagram reels.  A lot has changed, but some things remain the same.  For me, nothing matters more than the music that I share on the show.  I never wanted to do anything else in podcasting other than champion independent artists and connect the dots between various musical genres through this medium.  

There's a whole lot of music that has been played on this show over 18 years, and it would be foolish to suggest to you that nine songs could cover even a fraction of that time.  However, some of these songs and artists are reminiscent of specific moments within BSOTS history.  The selections from Lovespirals and Big La Vs. Todd represent my connection to the Music Podcasting Consortium, a like-minded collective of avid music supporters and creators that represents my first online community within the podosphere.  Whether Todd Kelley (a.k.a. The Big La) is curating a music mix or in the lab crafting beats of his own, the head nod factor is always priority number one with him.  "The Shoreline" is a calming instrumental piece and one of my personal favorites from his Kneel Before Todd album.  The music of Lovespirals appeared within the first ten episodes of Radio BSOTS and is one of the first podsafe artists ever played on this show.  Their new single "Misunderstood" is a continuation of the ethereal attributes that make their work so special (and besides that, atmospheric drum and bass is the way to my heart).

Over the years, podsafe music resources faded away one by one, but thankfully the Free Music Archive is still around.  Founded in 2009, I've been virtually crate digging through this website since its beginning stages in beta mode, always finding works that have both intrigued and surprised me.  A cut like "Mango Tree" by Chandeliers brings me right back to those early days of searching for music on the FMA.  This one's a total earworm, marrying lyrics and vocals that lean towards folk with an off-kilter funk groove accentuated by the bass, keys, and rhythm guitar.  "Bag Of Nothingness" is another FMA find, where producer Comfort Fit takes the funk and launches full speed into the future,  creating a hip-hop/electronic beat hybrid that stays crunchy even in milk.  

Prior to the FMA's existence, a universe of netlabels brought me in touch with an endless amount of Creative Commons licensed music.  The blocSonic netlabel would have been the first, and I try to represent for their output as often as possible.  The self-titled album by Friends Or Whatever is one of my all-time favorite blocSonic releases and the shimmering brilliance of "Everybody Stopped Calling Me" is just one of the reasons why.  No Type (no longer active) was another netlabel that I came across soon after blocSonic and I fell hard for their focus on experimental electronic music.  The introspective beauty of "The Force May Be With You" by Idmonster is reminiscent of work from labels like Project Mooncircle, the warm chords occasionally disturbed by slivers of voices, clicks, and digital static.  Upitup Records is more of a recent discovery, but the music of Cosmic Analog Ensemble has been played on this show well over a decade ago.  He's a multi-instrumentalist that's capable of creating soulful jazz numbers to sample-heavy hip-hop instrumentals that feel like Madlib during his most leftfield moments.  I cannot stop playing "In Matacumbo" and it would be criminal not to share that cut with you.  The same can be said for "Dance To The Drummer's Beat" by Dharma.  It's impossible to keep still when those breakbeats kick in.  Believe it or not, that cut dates back to 1999, proving that the Creative Commons crates are deep and full of amazing cuts that deserve more exposure.  (Seek and ye shall find.)  It was released on Mono211, a label that stopped releasing music 20 years ago.  Thanks to the efforts of those behind the Netlabel Archive for preserving the works of inactive imprints and ensuring that their output won't be lost forever.

And then there's Jonny Sonic, an artist that ended up becoming the unofficial voice of the BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD episodes.  His music is often punchy and insistent, never forsaking the funk in its approach.  I love the horn section on "Datenight" and how Jonny's voice just seems to cut through his big band that's right behind him.  I've been playing his music since at least 2006 and he's the first artist that I reach for whenever BSOTS needs to blow off some steam.  Should you need some music to bring you back from the brink, here's hoping that the selections within this episode can bring some semblance of peace your way.   ID drops:  Fave, Kahlief Adams, Aspektz, Jonny Sonic, Darrenkeith

@lovespirals​​​​​​​ sent:  (I KEEP ACCIDENTALLY HITTING UNFOLLOW) ✐ ddlc protag to yuri or sayori ?  /  accepting!

send me a ✐ for a random sentence starter from my muse (1-1500) ❨357❩ ❛ I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary. ❜ 

your voice comes out steady, even if your heartbeat is anything but. it doesn’t escape you that you’re reading off your phone instead of having copied the excerpt down into a notebook. yuri probably would have liked that better, but it hadn’t occurred to you. you’re not a poetry buff by any means, but you’d been looking. in the school library, at a bookstore near your house. for things you could say to her, things you could show her. like if you give her enough fragments, she could piece together the totality of what you feel for her, like a stained-glass mosaic.

“i would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only,” you say, and try not to keep holding your breath because you’ll run out of air if you do. “i would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.” it’s a poignant quote, and you look up at yuri almost shyly after you say it. “what do you think? i thought it suited you. your writing style is similar, and you wrote a poem about breathing last week.”

‏‏☆ ° • [ 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃 ] my muse steps protectively in front of your muse

They look up to no good. Ninjas that Naruto doesn’t recognize. There’s a gut feeling and soon Naruto is stepping protectively in front of Sakura. He knows the woman can handle herself but it stll doesn’t stop the Fox from moving in front of her.

“Hey!” He calls towards them as they approach the village. “Who are you? You should really turn around, ya know!”

One of them laughs, it’s deep and sinister and the man, in a hood, steps forward. They seem entirely too calm for Naruto’s liking. 

“Get out of the way, punk.” Comes the voice of the man and Naruto’s teeth clench together in irritation. Punk?! He’s not some punk! Why he oughta...!

“No.”

❝ this ? eh -- it's just my , ah , halloween costume ! y - yeah ! ❞ sayaka wasn't sure if she'd seen him mid-combat , but boy was she glad she noticed someone watching her before she transformed back right in front of him . ❝ just seeing how it holds up before the big day , y'know ... ? ❞ maybe it would've sounded more convincing if it wasn't followed immediately by nervous laughter.

@lovespirals / answered .

No, yeah, the laughing gives it right away, actually. Granted, though, seeing someone with strange powers wasn’t exactly a new phenomena for him. Adam had seen lots of weird things in his travels, and hell, even he himself was pretty strange and borderline inhuman when it came down to it, he couldn’t really judge. If anything, in recognizing her sketchy behavior, it only motivates him to act more oblivious. She clearly doesn’t want to talk about it, and he can relate to that struggle, so he’d play ignorant for her sake.

“Ohhh, okay. It looks really nice! I dunno if it’s pre-made or if you did it yourself, but it’s pretty spiffy. Definitely be careful not to get it dirty, though. The weather was a little crappy the other day...”

A few months ago, I came to the conclusion that I use my podcast feed like a pop-up shop, disappearing for indefinite periods of time until I have something to share with the public and then returning to the podosphere without so much as an alert or hardly an announcement.  Parts of my being remain 100% unapologetic about that.  For someone who's been podcasting since August of 2005 with the initial hopes that this show would reach as many listeners as possible, one would think that I wouldn't have such a disdain for online public interaction.  Then again, I can't remember the last time I've attended a podcasting conference.  Maybe it's a sign of getting older, maybe it's just a result of me doubling down on my hardcore introverted tendencies ever since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

Late in the month of June, I got this burst of inspiration and recorded some voiceovers, which sat untouched on a SD card for almost two months before I started editing them.  Seeing as how the month of August is an anniversary month for Radio BSOTS, I suppose it makes sense that the final push to get this episode out is happening now.  The songs featured on this one were released between 2013 and 2021, the majority of which came out in 2020.  Seeing as how America and the world is still in the midst of the aftereffects of that catastrophic year, that's probably not a coincidence, either.  A number of these selections reflect the racial strife that came to a head two summers ago along with a lyrically critical eye on Trump's presidential agenda (never mind the perpetual state of the  pandemic that we're still not out of, but a large section of humanity pretends isn't really a thing anymore).

So this is my summer offering from Camp Lo-Fi.  Eleven songs plus a 17 year-old blog entry equals 49 minutes of your time, served up in a BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD style.  (Admittedly, the music does the heavy lifting.)  Hopefully, you will consider it time well spent.  Thank you for listening.

send me a ✐ for a random sentence starter from my muse (1-1500) ❨895❩ ❛ Now I want to live like everybody else. I want to have a life like everybody else. ❜

assistant kang lies on the hospital bed, her exhausted eyes trained on the ceiling. this place is so state-of-the-art that even the ceilings are scrubbed clean and pristine. how do the janitors reach up there? she’s so consumed by useless thoughts. in some way, it’s freeing. she’d had a dream, of v, of zen... her fingers twitch against the clean sheets.

she’s aware that someone else is next to her, but she doesn’t have the energy to move her head. the whole world feels slow, her muscles too lethargic and heavy to support the weight of the limbs. goodness, she’s exhausted. how long had it been since she’d gotten some rest? she closes her eyes, focuses on the sound of the voice beside her. it’s seven. she remembers how kind he’d been to her, needlessly kind, almost. is he upset now? he’s offering... suggestions, she thinks. jaehee murmurs, her voice slower and heavier than she remembers it sounding. “now i want to live like everybody else.” her breathing comes in slow, and she feels suddenly like she’ll fall asleep. “i want to have a life like everybody else.”

@lovespirals​ sent COMFORT from yuuki to zero ? / i know the prompt is for the opposite but i feel like this fits better ;w;

☆ ° • [ 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓 ] my muse sits by your muse’s bedside while they are sick/hurt

Being a vampire that is slowly turning into a level e isn’t easy. Getting shot with a anti-vampire gun by another hunter is almost just as bad, He can stll feel the sting of betrayal in the form of a throbbing and burn in his side - where he’d been shot.

He can feel disgust, too. Disgust at what he is and what he’s becoming. He hadn’t harmed anyone or done anything to warrant getting shot except being a vampire.

He isn’t healing as fast, he hasn’t eaten in days and the blood tablets aren’t working anymore and instead just make him sick. He’d have to be at his full strength to heal.

“Yuuki.....I’m fine.” Zero says gently, the only one he’d ever allow his tone to become so fond and soft with is Yuuki. “Go to class, don’t miss anything because of me.”
