perhaps you've seen this before.  although it was written in the voice of Dave Chappelle, it was not written BY Dave Chappelle.  actually, it was written by Mark Harris.  great satire.  and considering all that has taken place with brother Chappelle, i can see him expressing some of these sentiments...

so the Duke University Lacrosse Team is back on the field, but the questions and accusations still linger.  but anytime you have a case such as this where issues of race, class, and gender all blur into each other, things are bound to get messy with the quickness.

this was the first show from january of 2006.  in my humble opinion, BSOTS came storming out the gate to start off our first full year.  some hip-hop, some minimal techno, a little bit of rock as well.  we're havin' some fun now, ain't we?

radio bsots also installed a voice mail line (206-202-2298) and a myspace page.  and while this wouldn' t be the first time that i've ranted on the show, i think it sets a precedent for future shows...

in the second half of december 2005, i started a "best of 2005" podsafe music style.  this is the first of a three-part series of shows.  the african dope label has been one of the best discoveries for me so far on the podsafe music network.  the fact danger doom's in there as well doesn't hurt, either.
