Jennifer Herrema and Kurt Midness (Black Bananas) lay two hours of ripe stank on your innards in Bad Bunch Radio.

Make way for Brides of Funkenstein, Keith Sweat, Sonny Sharrock, some o' that oscillated Bill Laswell '90s p-funk tinkering, and more twee-baiting gnarl.

Is there anything more satisfying than a Klaus Dinger beat with an ostinato bass line hanging on the root note octaves?

Soundcarriers' kindly edifier of vibe, Leonore Wheatley, unfurls the magic of motorik in the latest Show Eclectico.

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.

The best season is here—autumn with all its wistful mental journeying into the depths of slightly premature annual nostalgia. So here's four hours of solid autumnal mood-setting from NQRA to accompany it.

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. 👇
