BSOTS 011 - survival vibes from 2005 and elsewhere (pt. two)

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.

being able to represent for good friends making great music is part of the reason why i started podcasting in the first place.  this early show from december of 2005 is dedicated to their great efforts.  some hip-hop, some minimal house, some drum and bass, and even some leftfield electro soul.
