    Episode 123: Peep and Segue

    Oh we got a 7 banger for this episode, 13 minutes with 7 chunks of hot fire and a healthy dose of heavy music, punk hard rock, metal etc. My defense of heavy meta/heavy music is simple: Everybody feels bad, it's okay to feel bad, listening to other people talk about how bad they feel can make you feel less alone, it gets you moving from the overwhelmed state towards action. When I hear a great metal record I wanna go burn somebody's house down, the art in it is picking the right house (the White House, Elmo Mush's house etc) In between the hard nuggets we have some electronic music and some alt country from Ryan Davis, a record I found as a result of my end of year best list scrounging, great lyrics and I don't find myself typing that very often. Let's hear it for great lyrics! Thanks for listening, if this podcast makes you feel something let me know don't be shy, if you have great record you think I might like let me know don't be shy! Excerpts from this episode: Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band: Mutilation Sprins Sex Germs: I Like To Eat CxBxT, Norko Tujiko and & Adrian Corker: Toku No Minato XweaponX: Everybody Breaks Oneohtrix Point Never: Lifeworld Bee Hive Ski Race: Gish Gallop John Glacier: Money Shows Feel free, (it's free!) to follow me on the Zuck run Insta (owned by one of the garbag-iest Americans going) where I conversate as themagic_organ. I got it friggin' goin' on over there, denouncing spectacle based American culture and serving up fresh bangers as I find them. I'm also up on the recently deballed Tik Tok, #FreePalestine. Or hit me up with 5 s***s on the itunes, 5 starry s***s on the itunes I dare not dream!!! Or you can email me to say how I changed your life with all this great music. Music can be social, you can have opinions. I'm always open to listener suggested playlists if you feel you can hang with the host. I'll even co host the show with you and I will be super nice. I guess most people can't hang, I wish it weren't thusly, but the roar of the mass are farts, unfortunately. You can find these artists on bandcamp and streaming outlets. You can support them by listening and telling your friends. You can celebrate what they do! Let this shitass 13 minute podcast be your guiding light. God forbid. Questions, comments, review requests -- contact me at skeptical.chimp@disroot.org

    Episode 122: I Dig for Everyone

    Welcome to the first fresh Magic Organ episode of 2026!! New music is a bit slow in January, not completely nothing but less than usual, and new music listeners like me will be scraping the best of last year's lists in search of great records that slipped through the cracks. Everyone has different cracks, everyone has different times where they discover new music, you can't catch all the bangers as they are released. So this episode is the result of late December post best of year Magic Organ bangers listening. Special shout out to all these tracks it's some really great stuff. Thanks for listening, spread the word, God bless 'Merka what's left of it. Excerpts from this episode: Babau: When we fell into the eternal glide it was too late to escape the extreme verticality, we left walking on vampire steps Human leather: It's a Shit business, Glad I'm out of it Yasmine Hamdan: Abyss St. Panter: American Dreams Daniel Son & Futurewave: Sweet Pepper Bass Drum of Death: Do Nothing Feel free, (it's free!) to follow me on the Insta (owned by one of the garbag-iest Americans going) where I conversate as themagic_organ.

    Episode 121: Best of 2025 Part 6

    Hey, don't think of this episode as any sort of leftover 2025 nugget, it's a certified set of bangers. It contains an excerpt of what might be my favorite record of the year by Aia Mon Amour. Not that any of the other excerpts aren't total bangers because that's what The Magic Organ does, we set 'em up and knock 'em down for our listeners. And we look stylish doing it! Here's to a great year for music in 2026, thanks for listening, if you have any friends who claim to love music that aren't total dirt tell them about The Magic Organ.

    Episode 120: Best of 2025 Part 5

    The avalanche of great new music continues, Best of 2025 Part 5!! I feature 5 tunes in each best of episode and there will be six total (maybe a 7th in the New Year) with my best of year list topping out at 35 records which is quite modest. No fluff, no filler just straight bangers of all genres. Rankings within the top 35 are non existent, music listeners can love different records for different reasons, one's desires and preferences are not rational, duh. Comparing a great heavy metal record to a great jazz record, not for the faint of heart best of luck! I believe I have hit my cloud storage limit for the month so this will be the final episode of the 2025, thanks for listening if you have listened throughout the year. Happy early New Year to you.

    Episode 119: The Best of 2025 Part 4

    The Magic Organ Best of 2025 avalanche of musical goodness continues. How do my picks differ from those of the NY Times, PItchfork, and the New Yorker? Way less white boy and girl indie, more non white musicians from all over the world and from here. Just sayin'. Because I'm mostly opposed to pop music and the concepts of pop music and pop culture that currently rule the empire, the Magic Organ's best of year music picks require listeners to do what they are, to listen and pay attention. So if you can't muster the energy necessary to do that and to escape from the Pop Death Star, I don't know what to say, that's on you somewhat, mostly, you might be the victim of a predatory cultural system but some people do make it out and I hope you make it out, it's way more fun being a freak than being in the suck ass line. Thanks for listening. Excerpts from this episode: Ben LaMar Gay: John, John Henry Ale Hop & Titi Bakorta: Bonne Annee Thee Oh Sees: Sneaker Scientist & Dubiterian: Use Your Head Africanoise: O Chamado: Feel free, (it's free!) to follow me on the Insta (owned by one of the garbag-iest Americans going) where I conversate as themagic_organ.

    Oh my, the party continues!

There are no favorites nor weak links in the best of year episodes, it's straight up bangers from beginning to end, thanks for listening and have a great holiday season whichever way you roll.

    Episode 117: Best of 2025 Part 2

    You know what time it is! It's the best of year series, we gotta a spreadsheet of all the genres that we're distilling down to the Magic Organ favorites of 2025. Plus I just caught a couple records on The Quietus' best metal of 2025, the new Sex Germs record and these other gents from the UK, Human Leather. Never fear, The Magic Organ is way more than heavy metal and punk rock, we love all the musics, they're all God's children. Jeebus too. Thanks for listening, shoot your favorites this way if you feel the urge.
