Amidst last Friday’s heavy-hitting new LPs like The Blessed Madonna’s Godspeed and LP Giobbi’sDotr, was more of a hidden gem — Samora Pinderhughes’ Venus Smiles Not in the House of Tears. Pinderhughes is a subtle master of jazz composition and a lyrical powerhouse as you’ll hear on the album track “Inertia,” played as part of this edition of MBE. Also on deck for ya when you press play is Gavin Turek, Eddie Chacon, and TOKiMONSTA (to name just a few).
Peanut Butter Wolf goes deep into a lifetime of collecting, pulling from more than 50,000 records alongside a digital archive packed with unreleased music and overlooked discoveries. The founder of Stones Throw Records favors the underdog, moving through hip-hop, funk, soul, electronic music, oddball records, rarities, and sounds that resist easy categorization. Inspired by generations of adventurous DJs and selectors, the show treats digging as an art form and the unexpected find as the ultimate reward. Tune in every third Sunday of the month from 8 to 10pm.
A mix of all kinds, from all over and all time. Henry Rollins treats the radio as a place for serious musical exploration, bringing punk, experimental music, jazz, global sounds, independent releases, archival discoveries, and whatever else demands to be heard into the same restless orbit. The selections can travel across decades and continents in minutes, driven less by genre than an insatiable appetite for records and discovery. It’s radio for listeners willing to follow the music wherever it goes. Tune in Mondays from 10pm to midnight and Fridays from 8 to 10pm.
