It's been over a year since the last post. Nothing for 2016, nada.<br /> <br /> It's a new year and here we go...no promises.<br /> <br /> Fitting to start with something from ccMixter. <a href="http://ccmixter.org/people/scomber">Scomber</a> has posted a lovely little "robo" love song. We love robot love here at BSWC. This number fits right in with quirky lyrics by Scomber mixed with a sweet acoustic jazz guitar track by <a href="http://ccmixter.org/people/casimps1">Clarence Simpson</a>.<br /> <br /> It's February.

Jovem Palerosi - Deuses Mutados (feat. Independência ou Marte)
Today we feature a fine release from our friends at Bump Foot.   The release is called Mouseen and was released last August. Jovern Palerosi found some wonderful Brazilian artists to sample and these seven tracks are the result.   One of the tracks features Chico Correa who has a fantastic release on Bump Foot and has been featured on these pages before.

Billano - Ninas Fresas
Man, we love strawberries. Today we dip into a pretty cool hip-hop scene in Mexico City. We have posted music by LFA and Billano and Luis René in the past and decided to visit Billano's Soundcloud page and stream some tunes. Billano is a dj who loves the solo format, as well as performing with a band. He is from southern Mexico City. Today's track is from a release called Poetics of Sunset that was put together with LFA in the producer's chair. This track stood out and here it is. Billano - Ninas Fresas

Ricky Eat Acid - A Smoothie Robot For My Moon Mansion

Ricky Eat Acid - A Smoothie Robot For My Moon Mansion
In honor of Creative Common's 10th anniversary a few years ago the netlabel Bad Panda put together a playlist that we discovered on CC-Europe's Soundcloud page.   Some really nice stuff on this list, but we were immediately attracted by "Robot" and "Moon Mansion".  BSWC has always had a thing for Space, Sex and Robots. Great track by Ricky Eat Acid and while we type this their Soundcloud stream is playing on behind us.  Worth checking out.  There is a bunch of material at Bandcamp, as well. He has a note about his motivation on multiple channels: lately i've been really into music that sounds like it's reaching upwards to God and falling short, over & over Always reaching, higher and higher.  Ricky Eat Acid - A Smoothie Robot For My Moon Mansion
