Episode 138: If you're not listening to world music....

Hey, hey just a quick welcome to Episode 138 of The Magic Organ. This episode's title is inspired by the first two tracks here, a funky stew out of Uganda from Serokolo 7 and a large ensemble out of Colombia called Nuevos Rios. Both these records slap, they're full of creativity and energy and all the good shit. Americans listen to barely any world music, world music has a very low profile in America cuz it's not made by white people, but the music is so so good (not all of it, but a lot). And The Magic Organ is here for you when it comes to world music.

Rounding out the episode we have some Wu Tang-ish hip hop from Starker, some electro clash punk from a long running outfit ADULT., a weird ass blend of electronic and heavy metal feels from Fire-Toolz. And as I always have trouble finding rock music, or rock like music for those who traffic in it, we wrap up the episode with a world weary faded rocker from Beth Orton.

Excerpts from this episode:

Serokolo 7: Chunku Manabeng

Nuevos Rios: La Memoria de Justino

Starker: Questlove

ADULT.: Freaks

Fire-Toolz A Demon & Its Spinal Cord Flapping in The Wind

Beth Orton: Cigarette Curls

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 shits on the itunes, 5 starry shits 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.
