🚨NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨

For my 1st show of 2026, I'm revisiting my two-hour takeover of the @netlabelday radio stream in July of last year. A freeform program of Creative Commons selects from front to back, including music from Sampology, The Polish Ambassador, Ras G, Jerry Paper, Dexter Story, APB, Alexander Flood, and lots more. Hip-hop, jazz, soul, funk, rock and electronic music all in the same sonic stew.

In the midst of worldwide chaos, Mixcloud remains my happy place. My last podcast episode of 2025 has been uploaded to the Mixcloud account, tapping into the spirit of stateside dissent with some tunes that reflect the times and an opening monologue of mine from 2017 discussing the difference between facts and truth that feels quite relevant right about now.

Humanity is taxing. Music is divine. 🎧 πŸ’» πŸ”Š 🎢

BUCKWILD: Fun Is Serious Business

Recorded between November and December of 2025, this episode dropped shortly before New Year's Eve '25. Along with a mix of independent and Creative Commons licensed tunes that speak directly to the times that we're going through, I reached back for an opening monologue from 2017 that hasn't lost its sociopolitical relevance. I also speak in defense of podcasting for fun, which is a laughable prospect at best in today's podcasting industry. And check for the 2020 cut on quarantine life from Doctor Popular feat. Mega Ran. Some protest music, some party music, and some silliness served up BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD style. Full show notes can be found at the following link: https://radiobsots.blogspot.com/2025/12/190-buckwild-fun-is-serious-business.html

These songs and more can be found on the latest "buckwild" edition of Radio BSOTS. Think of the BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD episodes as a place where "mad as hell" and "act a fool" can share a peaceful coexistence. πŸ˜†

🚨NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨

Both Sides Of The Surface closes out 2025 in BUCKWILD fashion with indie and Creative Commons tunes that reflect our chaotic times.

Mega Ran from 2020 revisiting the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sonic Solace For The Summer

On this episode I chat a little bit about Netlabel Day and share some listener feedback along with more Creative Commons selections. There's live house music from Alexander Flood, the psychedelic beat tape aesthetic of Alphabets Heaven, bedroom pop from Warik, the R&B heartbreak meditations of AMARAFLEUR, soulful drum and bass from Cleveland Watkiss, the IDM meets hip-hop production of Rephazer, and a classic sound recording from George Gershwin that entered the public domain this year! Further proof that the parallel universe of Creative Commons licensed music is an embarrassment of riches if you know where to look. :-]

Thanks for the shout out on the podcast @bsots! I've been going through a challenging time, and it really made my day to hear that : )

FYI "Stand up" is geek jargon, for setting up a new server. To "stand up an instance of Mastodon", is to set up a new server running a copy of the Mastodon software.
