Third instalment of Jazz Realities with Scott McDowell.

Roots, identity, and politics abound in this episode and the sense of existential "WTF?" rings loud and clear.

This is an explosively liberating set of music. Exactly what we need right now.

Feat. Maureen Tucker, Mike Heron, Vainica Doble (pictured), and much more.

"How many times should people listen to Earl of Suave, Episode 3, at minimum, Andy?"

Good answer. And appropriate.

Prepare to get aurally mugged off by snot-nosed The Cramps, knuckle-dusted Wimple Winch, and more garage-punk rumblers.

Bow to the Earl of Suave. Link (Wray) in comments. 👇

Jason Stoll returns with Sonic Rituals. 🧙‍♀️

nqra.live/sonic-rituals/

This month's R U Kind with Mike Newman stares down at you omnisciently like an ant on a picnic plate and asks, "By all means take a bite out of the Swing Out Sister jam. But when you're done, don't forget to wander over and nibble the fIREHOSE pâte and the Roy Orbison cheesecake."

Warning: the tea at Alice's Mad Tea Party may cause sedative, hypnogogic, or just plain euphoric states.

Just try not to float off into space when you dive off the top of the mountain, which is what this week's show is really all about: MOUNTAINS. Ah, glory!

David Katznelson returns with a spine-tingling blend of soul, blues, psychedelic missives, outlaw guitars, and cinematic zonked-ness.

Listen 👉 nqra.live/holy-room/

Johnny Lynch is back with another smorgasbord of all things otherized. From the incendiary guitar histrionics of Jimi Hendrix through the tasteful modalism of Bill McKay to the spine-tingling "plain singing" of Kathy Heideman, these are stages and phases of ecstasy in flux.

This month on Transmissions from the Burrow, Uli and Swantje plunge you into the depths of three monster long-form jams from divergent paths across the underground.
