Check this dude out. Freddie Gibbs, just a plain-old kid born into a place scoured and soured by economic decline; that place is Gary, Indiana. People call New Jersey the armpit of America? Well, if they were to anthropomorphize Gary, it'd be the a******. Located on the shores of the southern-most tip of Lake Michigan, its best known for being the stanky town right after you get through the hellish traffic of Chi-town. Driving past in the comfort of your plush SUV, you turn on recirculate mode, as the stench of the dysfunctional mills and factories tries to flood your breathing space. From the comfort of the raised highway, you stare out unto the shanty-shacks that line the sparsely wooded confines of the 'town', and either cuss the wreak or thank God you don't have to stop for gas.
Enter Freddie Gibbs, rap prodigy. He grew up in Gary, and has is making his way out verse by verse. Check out this snippet-al documentary put out by YoursTru.ly:
You can buy Str8 Killa tomorrow via Decon/Gibbs Family here.

Our friend and ally in electronic writing. 1001110! Or as we like to say when communicating with radio listeners, "A bag which was left and not only taken but turned away was not found. The place was shown to be very like the last time. A piece was not exchanged, not a bit of it, a piece was left over. The rest was mismanaged"
Gertrude Stein didn't even know what electronic writing was.
Do like John and practice some Deep Listening to Ian's titilating plucking and strumming. Don't forget his voice with its lullabies bittersweet.

[08/06/10] BSR's Summer Break: The Move Back Home
Hiya curious listeners,
BSR is preparing to move the station, board and boxes of cds and vinyl and all, back into our old, newly-renovated home. We'll be moving on the 16th of August, but we want to make sure that we've boxed everything up and wrapped up all the wires, so we're going to take a break from live programming to ensure the move goes smoothly. We'll also need some time to plug everything back in on the other end. Our broadcast board needs some finetuning and repairs, so we won't be broadcasting live while it's in the shop. We should be back live starting the last week of August. Stay tuned here for more information and exact dates.
So, starting now, we'll be playing archived episodes of shows both current and from the past. You'll still be able to tune into BSR for a great selection of music, talk, and features, whether on 88.1 or bsrlive.com. It'll just be from the past- think of it as a time capsule that we dug up.
We're also using this opportunity to give our archive server a well-earned and long-overdue rest. So the archives won't be publicly accessible for a little bit, while we restore and repair the hard drives. Again, keep on the lookout for more news and dates regarding the archives; you'll find out from here first.

Show of the Month for April
Metadeth
Metadeth (not to be confused with the thrash metal super group Megadeth) explores a wide array of freeform sounds of the indie scope and guarantees you to play any song once and to never play it again. I have confirmed that are telling the truth in this statement. Similarly, they play new and old bands that often you have not heard of or have not heard of in while. Her and his majesties, Lisa and Evan, pave the way for new explorations in music accompanied by witty banter and a poetic connection in their mix of songs and weekly themes. For example, on 3/26, they presented a Miles Davis album inspired "birth of the way past cool" episode, which opened with Witchcraft’s "Funeral Song" and closed with the Cocteau Twin’s "a kissed out red floatboat"… How’s that for a garden variety mix that serves the curious listener? -Toni
Archive of the Month for April
The Wishing Book - "Brothers and Sisters"
It’s hard to get anybody to read you a great story once you enter adulthood. That’s why I thank my lucky stars that the Wishing Book is eternalized online in the BSR archives. Hosts Molly, Laura and Alex craft a soundscape of music and storytelling with an awesome variety of voices and characters. This episode, "Brothers and Sisters," documents a siblings’ quest for pants gone awry, the trials of an unreasonably strong infant who subsides solely on avocado pears, and the tale of a magically tiny older brother who needs protection from thoughtless cats. Be sure to tune in if you'd like to know why somebody might say: "Ginger! That’s a fish from another pond! Is there any wonder there was no transmogrification?" - Fiona
