Episode 29: In the Box

2022/03/11

Episode 29!!! Regular listeners of The Magic Organ know that we don't do themes -- songs with the word 'bleed' in them, best songs about love, yadda yadda yadda. This week we refer to the impact of computer technology on music composition and our culture by talking a tiny bit about in the box (in the computer) vs. outta the box (musicians performing in a room.) Just something to be aware of as more and more music heads inside the box, right? As for the usual spieling do we not mix it up genre

2022/02/25

Episode 28!!! Inspired by a recent viewing of the 2019 music documentary White Riot (a musical movement against racism in the UK in the late '70s and early '80s) Episode 28 is entitled Music Against Stupidity. At the crux of that musical movement all Rock Against Racism music gigs were black and white musicians always on the bill together to integrate the crowds to break down racial barriers. Is The Magic Organ not a cyber cousin to this notion? Hells yes! Do we not mix it up genre wise? Uh,

Episode 27: Betwixt Waves and Seasons

2022/02/11

Episode 27!!! I did not make any major artist/band name fuckups while commentating this episode so there's that. The music in this episode helps with the coming down from the end of one wave while waiting to see what's gonna happen next. Big ambient feels people. As always the focus is not me and my brand of stupid but the music. If you feel the urge gimme 5 shits on the iTunes and give me my cyber cookie for my efforts.

Episode 26: So many feelings!

The Magic Organ ·

2022/01/26

Episode 26! I roll the music in the episode and freeball my commentary, if you can call it that! This week I made multiple freeballing mistakes. First off, I said Had Palmer when it's Hap Palmer in the first track. The god damned hippies that made that record cover really made that P look like a D. Weed smoking dummies. Secondly I mistakenly said Tal National's record Zoy Zoy was the band name. I can't blame nobody but me on that. It's a great record and the band is Tal National and the

Episode 22: Squeegee and the J-man!!!

The Magic Organ ·

2021/11/18

Episode 22! For those not well served by the American school system, a squeegee or squilgee is a tool with a flat, smooth rubber blade, used to remove or control the flow of liquid on a flat surface. It is used for cleaning and in printing. And the J-Man is Jesus, son of God. This episode is about both a children's tune for a childish society and a few tunes with God in the title. Please remember The Magic Organ's master plan is to celebrate music based on its quality and how it moves listeners,

Episode 21! It's just above 40 degrees in the Magic Organ podcast headquarters but the music is, as usual, hot hot hot. With the inclusion of the illuminati hotties towards the end of this episode and previous references to QAnon (I am indeed Q) the question remains 'is there some nefarious plan vis a vis the Magic Organ?' Yes, the plan is there's no plan and the goal is to celebrate music, give much needed exposure to hard working musicians and pour some new shit into the domes out there. One

Episode 20! It's Magic Organ time again and this week we do two things. One, we bring back second listens of some of our favorite records of the year thus far and two we fade the shit out of them over the course of 13 minutes. Not just ordinary fades but boom pow dome poppin' fades. Jazz, hip hop, bluegrass, electronic bumpin' and abstract both, and world music we cram it in tight in hopes of getting it into your system.
