PROGRAM 17: THE BARACK OBAMA II HERITAGE SHOW [03.29.12]

You wouldn’t know it from the back-announces this week, but this show’s for President Obama. The Mighty Grouse just finished reading an advanced copy of David Maraniss’s new family biography, BARACK OBAMA: THE STORY. So, on short notice I whipped up a brief Kenyan set and a twisted stew of music from the Indonesian archipelago. Only Kenya is in Obama’s ethnic heritage, but he never lived there. He actually spent formative years in Indonesia and may have heard things similar to the stuff in this program. Aaand there’s a Hawaiian after thought. And the ghost of Jomo Kenyatta.

EASGS is taking a terrestrial break while the Mighty Grouse skips town for a few weeks. Podcasts and maybe even live webcasts of some sort may return in mid-April. We should be back on Radio CPR by the end of May.

PROGRAM 16: LEAP DAY HANGOVER AND CARNIVAL WRAP-UP [03.01.12]

You’re in for a treat, podcast listener! I still haven’t figured out what went wrong with the sound, but what I recorded from the broadcast was so bad that I practically had to replace every track but the back announces. So you’re in for a much hi’er-fi’er experience here. We start in New Orleans before heading back to 1940s Trinidad, then leaping straight ahead to Soca 2012! Then we’ve got some new from here in the States. Oh and a goodbye to Davy Jones.

EASGS will be off the air for the 3rd Thursday of March, but we should be returning on 3/29.

PROGRAM 15: PHONING IT IN… WITH NEW EQUIPMENT! [02.16.12]

The Mighty Grouse started on time! But he forgot to bring a radio show with him. Spent the two hours fiddling with some new equipment that will hopefully bring superior broadcasts in weeks to come! Back again on March 1st, assuming we all survive the Leap Day festivities.

And if you haven’t noticed already… the podcast has moved to http://easgs.blogspot.com. I don’t think this should require any changes or movements on the listener’s end. Since I’m actually podcasting through Feedburner, the transition should have been seamless. What’s the difference? Well now the podcast will present more than just the last 10 episodes. And if anyone is really interested in subscribing to my increasingly disappointing Tumblr content in Google Reader, the classic Tumblr RSS is re-enabled.

Bold text indicates relatively new releases (including reissues and comps).

• The Commodores - All of Midnight Magic
  • It happened to be lying around and I needed to kill time while I set up some new equipment. For the sake of this podcast, I think we didn’t catch track 1 “Gettin’ It,” and I decided to cut everything after “You’re Special,” because Lionel Richie songs put me to sleep.
• Arthur Lee Maye & the Crowns - “This is the Night for Love” (Dig 124)
• Earth - “The Rakehell” (from Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II)
• Pandit Kamalesh Maitra & Trilok Gurtu - “Raag Bhupal Todi” (from Tabla Tarang: Melody on Drums)

Brass out the ass! This is the podcast that almost wasn’t. The Mighty Grouse is seriously considering starting a Kickstarter campaign to buy Uncle Matt an extension cord so he doesn’t knock out the power to the studio computer every time we switch shows. Stay tuned to the end for a song that was cut off when we lost power, plus one I forgot to play. Some non-brassy songs will be back on 2/16.

Can the Grouse handle doing a radio show 3 weeks in a row? We’re about to find out. Last week, DJ86 was off getting some much deserved R&R, and the Grouse stepped in to fill his Mighty shoes. We didn’t want to shock 86’s normal listeners, so we tried to keep it generally within the same format. The regularly scheduled weirdness of Experiencing a Significant Gravitas Shortfall will be back tonight.

It feels weird to be processing a podcast from last year. That arbitrary boundary in time towering over me like a slightly opaque glass wall. This show featured power failures, mild tardiness and a return to mixed media eclecticism. Goodbye 2011. Hello 2012 and a world where Four Mayan Tebow Broncomen usher in our collective demise. Hopefully this podcast tides you over until our first show of the new year, January 19.

This mix isn’t lyrically Christmas themed. Such a compilation might take a few years of exhaustive research. I tacked some Christmasy stuff on at the end, just to get in the spirit. There’s also a song about a guy pulling out his sausage at a Christmas party. 

I believe a non-affiliated CPR friend got my mix. I was lucky to pull DJ Wanako’s. I’m excited to hear it!

The last of the all 7” shows! Three problems with this show: First off, I started late (again!) so this podcast is truncated! There is a ridiculous amount of ungrounded buzz! And it seems like Edwyn Collins, my favorite song is entitled “Boredom,” because I mis-announced “Breakdown” near the end of the show. Consider this my fuzzy, loose-threaded Christmas & Hannukah present to you, Internet. EASGS will be back on for one more 2011 show, 12/29/11. New music, esoteric sounds, digital tracks, and hopefully less fuzz. Happy holidays!

There are rats crawling out of the shed I keep all of my singles, 45s and 7”s in (whatever you want to call them). Well, just one rat, specifically the Ascension/BLBAF split 7” on Crank. And if you might allow one more rodent, the vermin of laziness would be the second! Program 10 is the second episode in what seems to be a trilogy of 7” focused shows. This one gets weird very quickly. And then retreats to much safer territory. I promise Program 11 will be the end of this medium-focused madness! The last show of 2011 will hopefully feature a return to digital newness, long players, and maybe even an antique compact disc!
