The Magic Organ

Episode 57! Peep the fancy Latin episode title this week and bask in the old school vibes. It translates to 'against endless repetition' and it's a sentiment worth spreading around. It was inspired by the short except in this episode by Angel Bat Dawid: 'This endless repetition is like a Chain around the Spirit. And it is a reflection of the denial of the future to the Negro in the American way of...

Episode 56: Winter 23 Besties! When it comes 'round to the best of/end of year lists for music the lists are tilted towards releases from the second half of the year.

Episode 53! Always be projecting, as in always be pushing new flavors out there into the world. Kinda random title, but hey there's a lot of randomness going on out there.

Then some Mediterranean dancefloor banging into some proggy, funky...

Episode 52, a celebration of a music podcast episode without any Grammy award winners or nominees. I thnk Fantastic Negrito was nominated for a Grammy award last year and I like his last record but it's not often that I traffic in it! Why be proud of being Grammy free??!! Cuz you know a lot of this mainstream music business is about booty and money and drama and business and not so much if at all...

Episode 51, first episode of 2023! It has been a while and we are now (hopefully) up with our new podcast hosting service. The Magic Organ is a one person operation so all administrative, technical, creative, editing and plumbing issues all flow downhill to one sap. Episode 51, Mixed Bangers, is the result of a lot of year end list listening. We kick it off with Systema Solar out of Colombia, get...
