    Episode 135: Peep It If You Feel It!

    That is my advice to you, peep it if you feel it. The Magic Organ is much like the tv sitcom Seinfeld, except we are vehemently opposed to the genocide in Gaza. Every episode is different tunes but the theme is the same - we got bangers from all over, the middle part of this episode goes from Italy to Mali to Venezuela to Cuba, worldwide I tell ya. And we are uninterested in issues of class and race, we want all classes and races up in here, the issue is quality something that can be argued over forever. My quality may not be your quality and vice versa. So enjoy this quality and if you feel it peep it. Excerpts from this episode: Sir Richard Bishop: Sweet Lips Spiritual Portraits of Tracy: Caught in a Jam Nu Genea & Fabiana Martone: Puleza Fatoumata Diawara: Mogo Arca: XXXXX Las Panteras: Orunmila Feel free, (it's free!) to follow me on the on the voluntary social media/culture programming machine called Instagram where I conversate and show my love for music as themagic_organ. I got it friggin' goin' on over there, the very definition of epic, denouncing spectacle based American culture and serving up fresh bangers as I unearth them. Exciting doesn't even begin to cover it. If you would like to help the magic organ lay at my feet 5 s***s on the itunes, 5 starry s***s on the itunes I dare not dream!!! Cough it up people. 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, the roar of the masses are not just farts as the Minutemen used to say. 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 might even serve biscuits. C'mon take the bait! LFG. You can find these artists on bandcamp and streaming outlets. You can support them by listening and telling your friends. You can tell other people about this concentrated blast of new music goodness, bursting with farm fresh flavor. You can celebrate what I do and what musicians do! Let this shitass 13 minute podcast be your guiding light. God forbid.

    Episode 134: What are We Doing? Where are We Going?

    We always put the most likely year end best of list bangers up front, we know folks be busy and you gotta hit 'em with your best shot right out of the gate as Pat Benatar used to say. We pop off with some abstract dancefloor techno out of the UK from Batu & Donato Dozzy -- great arrangements, interesting sounds and a big shout out to the hand drumming or the programmed hand drumming. The second tune is from the collaboration between the Mexican Institute of Sound & Meridian Brothers (check out the Meridian Brothers on their own; their records have made my best of year list previously), it's a great summer record of cumbia+, let's call it cumbia plus, it's a really great record. After that I fill in with ear catching tracks from records that I don't think will make my year end list due to my finicky-ness, but others may like them bunches as we're all different in our tastes and our behaviors. We're all liking different things, going different places, enjoy the metal and horns up ya shittaz.

    Episode 133: Over the Top and Through the Grinder

    Underneath the shiny, suffocating blanket of pop music/mainstream culture all manner of shit is going on, that's the flavor of this episode. Only a long time from now people will have some idea of what is happening, but from where this ghetto music philosopher sits we are witnessing the blenderization of all genres -- chunks of this go with this, why? Because someone put them together to create an effect; whether that's to create an over the top spectacle or to break something pretty into tiny digital pieces. All this with many many grooves coming from all over, I enjoy the variety and appreciate all the different ways music manifests. It's hard to get folks to open their minds but we keep trying. As the title of the Horse Lords excerpt is titled: Playing and Reality.

    Episode 132: Two Fitty and Sinking

    Happy birthday 'Merka, you sad ass corrupt garbage can of a country turned into a s******e by the current Orange Turdmaster. As I scan the excerpts from this episode, almost all of this music is made by people targeted to be deported or put in jail, black folks and immigrants or potential immigrants. So yes, I believe that a lot of cultures mixing together is a good thing for all those cultures, keeps 'em fresh and aware, and it is essential to having music evolve and expand. There's a reason why American music has been head and shoulders above other countries why are you dumbasses trying to make everything boring and white??? Excerpts from this episode: Yaadcore: Rasta Time Wiki: Right Away Converge: It's not Up to Us Nduduzo Makhathini: Imvunge KaNtu Los Mirlos & LA LOM: Llanto en la Selva Tygapaw: One exists or agrees to exist.

    Episode 131: Reflecting Pool

    Random episote title, but not random song picks! I was going to go with Early Summer bangers as a title and then meh, that's boring, so we switch it up. A combination of straight up party jams at slot 1 and slot 3 with more abstract and quality electronic business at slots 2 and 5. All slots filled with creativity. Ya know music is both just music and it's much more than music, it's a non spoken language humans use to communicate with each other. And it's our culture, and while most Americans love them some shiny corporate pop culture we don't roll like that at The Magic Organ. Just great music is more than enough to make us all feel better. Reflecting Pool. Excerpts from this episode: Mexican Institute of Sound & Meridian Brothers: El Campeon Ital Tek: A Hidden Path Joey Quinones: Soul Steady Situation SALEM: Vampyre SHHE: Allasso Magic Tuber Stringband: Scintillation Feel free, (it's free!) to follow me on the on the social toilet called Instagram where I conversate and show my love for music as themagic_organ.

    Episode 130: Hip Hop Explosion

    I'm listening to the beginning part of Drake's new record Iceman while I write the blurb for this episode and Lord it must be hard being Drake, he still seems shook in the wake of being cooked by Kendrick Lamar. The sounds are all right but the lyrics, oy. And that cover image has to be a Michael Jackson reference which I don't get at all. I wholeheartedly recommend the first three records featured at the front of this episode and the rest of the tracks are no slouch either. Once again showing that the real action in music is below the superstar level where the narcissistic douchebags primp and preen while real musicians make music. All three of these hip hop records have a lot of soul, Drake I'm not really sure. If you can handle Archspire's extreme tempo and aggressiveness they deliver the goods, I think what they do is very unique and super beautiful in its way. So there ya go, the Magic Organ is always multi-genre and banging, if you feel like getting in touch go for it, I'm super friendly. Excerpts from this episode: By Storm & Injury Reserve: Can I Have You For Myself? Stik Figa: No Secrets Isaiah Rashad: The New Sublime Octo Octa: Just Listen Archspire: Carrion Ladder Canes Of Karabakh: Sevan The Wild Cane Feel free, (it's free!) to follow me on the on the toilet called Instagram where I conversate and show my love for music as themagic_organ.

    Episode 129: Without Cheese

    First off apologies for any band names or song titles that get mangled in this episode and in past episodes and well out into the future. Maybe folks don't listen to world music and from places with funny letters cuz the words is hard to pronounce? That would be ironical, cuz music is a nonverbal language (with words and shit sometimes) that humans use to communicate with each other. I love the second track SAME SHIT, I need to check the rest of the new Isaiah Rashad record, I'm excited about the new Stik Figa record so it's good to see some hip hop bangers coming out as the weather gets hotter. Otherwise, 13 minutes of quality -- world music, funk, ambient and a mash of indie and dancefloor from Frost Children that is a great idea but fell a bit wide of the bullseye. Hey be a guest DJ on this show, show me 6 songs it will be super fun, somebody out there gotta have flavor, no? It's all about flavor, being creative and showing flavor to each other. Excerpts from this episode: Fauna: Bland traden Isaiah Rashad: SAME SHIT Pilori: A Pierre Fendree Royce Wood Junior: Slush Hoavi: Wayang Frost Children: Bound2U Feel free, (it's free!) to follow me on the on the shameful status toilet called Instagram where I conversate and show my love for music as themagic_organ.

    Episode 128: Heating Up

    Heating Up is Right! The first three tracks of this episode all on the candidate list of my nerd ass best of year tracking spreadsheet. Funky electronic, sick expertly arranged metal, and some world dancefloor banging, you can't beat that shit with a stick. Thus far we've seen a bump in flavorous electronic music, some good metal from that genre that keeps defying the rest of society, thank God for that. On the practical side I lost my hookup for African and world music; I used to get the weekly playlist from WRIR in Virginia but the DJ who rocked that show passed away. I wanted to give his work and legacy a shout, he put many banging records in my collection and if anybody knows of great sources of world music reviews and/or spinning hit me up! It is a woefully underrepresented genre in 'Merka and this injustice must be addressed.
