This is a recording of the sixth episode of my radio show on WMUA Amherst. You can listen live every Wednesday, 2:30-4:30eastern at WMUA.org or you can listen to the playlists over here.  The sixth episode of Cosmic Slop aired 6/22/22 and was an all vinyl show. Music from around the world spun live in the studio! 

A recording taken from the live streamed DJ set on October 5, 2021. Sorry for all the shuffling paper sounds, but consider it atmosphere and realism I guess. You can listen to the songs played in the set in a Spotify playlist by going here. 

On this episode I take a deep dive into the story of Al Green: a young man with a voice of gold who rose to soul stardom and then gave it all up to preach the word of god. 

The audio for this episode comes from a video I did on Twitch, a sort of live DJ set wherein I played about an hour of music, spinning records ranging from Cambodia to Thailand to Ethiopia to the States. You can watch the video here (which has 12 minutes of silence thanks to Twitch copyright policy) and if it is something you enjoy let me know and I can do some more of it! 

A two-hour radio show format without any radio station broadcasting my songs. I miss the radio DJ life so here is a sample playlist complete with some banter and song info as I go. Enjoy!

In this somewhat more personal episode of Mysterious Objects, I trace my relationship with my dad through the movies we shared a love for. I then explain my theory of the Movie Dad, those special people who welcome others into the inner world of loving film. 

On this episode of the Mysterious Objects Podcast I have a surprise guest host in the studio, such a surprise that it even got me! Intriguing? Listen and all your questions will be answered. 

A quick preview of the next Mysterious Objects at Noon Podcast: I'm going to be breaking down my concept of the "Movie Dad". From a history of the movies I was shown by my dad (sometimes too early to grasp what I was seeing) to what it means to be a Movie Dad, the next episode will be full of Monty Python quotes, stories of my childhood, and probably some more Monty Python quotes. New episode drops April 1st. 

On this episode of the Mysterious Objects at Noon podcast I take you on a deep dive into the varied musics of Africa. I trace my personal history exploring African music from Fela Kuti and William Onyeabor all the way to more recent rabbit holes I've jumped down. You can listen to the full playlist of my newly discovered gems from Africa here, in this Spotify playlist.

A short preview of what's to come in the next volume of Mysterious Objects at Noon. On the next episode, we take a deep dive into the many musics of Africa. Looking beyond Fela Kuti, afrobeat, and Ethiopian jazz, I share stories from the Cameroonian nightlife, a little island where instruments fell from heaven, and introduce you to a man named Funky Rob. Episode drops March 1st.   

The first episode of a new project! This podcast is an audio companion to the highly-acclaimed newsletter, Mysterious Objects at Noon. On this episode I dig into my Top 10 Tracks of 2020, dissect my listening habits from a hell year, and attempt to put into words the soundtrack to my decreasing sanity. You can listen to my entire "Top Tracks of 2020" playlist over here.  Intro/outro music is Yasuaki Shimizu's "Umi No Ue Kara".
