I heard this show the other day and was drawn to it’s rawness. I am a fan of seeking trUth beyond common perception and this program seems to present a perspective i feel is worth considering. http://lawanddisorder.org/

WBGO: After all these years.

450-wbgo
I grew up listening to WGBO.

In my dad’s car, and at his woodshop while he worked on custom furniture (normally for the rich folks around northern NJ). I’d hang out sometimes during the day,  and occasionally lend a hand staing a few boards or doing what liked most.. sanding.

I’m listening as i write this… over the internet to Michael Bourne, their primary voice and one that was around during and well before my listening as a kid in NJ.

I learned about Jazz. I learned that I love jazz, while listening to that station. Plus it was a nice accompaniment to our long father-son drives at night to one of his gigs in the area. Late nights, BMW 2002 (that is the model, not the year), maybe dad’s cigar, some late night food, my tired-arse, and wbgo.

I think many young people feel weird discussing jazz, as if we dont know enough to speak on it. Have no worries, just enjoy. wbgo. I love that it’s focus is on REAL jazz, classic, but sometimes experimental jazz, not too light.. just good.  There’s no shame in that.

Imagine KC: How Should Our Metro Grow? @kcpt


YouTube Preview Image

These programs are great ideas, and I’m happy they are carried out because they help promote debate, discussion, and interest in envisioning the future of our city; which is something people need to realize IS in their control.

However  it has been my feeling that at the end of the programs previously aired in the series,  I’ve often felt as if good questions were asked, but no really cohesive/substantive answers were replied. Once dialogue begins, NEW Ideas and Action is what is needed.  Actual follow-through is necessary. Count me in.

My Gilles Peterson history & present - thx

gilles
When i started to dive into the beautiful world of the internet I discovered Napster. Then as I went to college, and utilized the incredibly fast speeds offered there for free to all students (much faster than I had at home in high school), I started learning about mp3.com and then myspace.com as ways to upload and share my original music. I loved this.

While working on campus at the computer lab, I’d search the net for info on music and topics i wanted to explore. In terms of exploring music, Gilles Peterson and his BBC Radio 1 Show “Worldwide” was the way I learned about all of the amazing music that is soul and electronic influenced.. and often comes out of the UK or Europe as a whole. For like minded USA artists, it seemed to be one of the only main outlets.

It’s been a few years… and I’ve been played on the BBC quite a few times since then, and I appreciate all of the people who have made that happen. However Gilles’ show always holds a certain place in my heart for introducing me to so many amazing songs and musicians those many years ago. And now, to learn my relationship continues with the worldwide music scene and the BBC/Gilles show as well… makes me feel good…. and grateful. Especially since i have no idea how he got this song. The fact that it made its way to him somehow from my computer and mind to his… is great. I released it myself, I’m proud its got to him. Now.. how… is the question :)

much love. thank you world. I appreciate and recognize your recognition of me. I see you too.
