Foxy Digitalis

This episode goes off the rails quick. Lots of talk about peaches, rural peach festivals, and how a lot of peach-flavored things taste very bad. Alright! More importantly, the album of the day hit me pretty hard and introduced me to an artist I’m excited to learn more about.

Shifting back into the usual gear over at the Foxy Digitalis site, we kick off the week with a stunner from Australian producer and composer, Aphir. “The Halo is Shapeless” turns her vocal improvisations into wondrous sonic spheres. Plus some news from Maroulita de Kol, IMKA, and Nilotpal Das.

I try not to throw the word ‘legend’ around a lot, but it certainly applies to the great Mike Cooper. His newest album, “Black Flamingo,” is a real mind blower. I hope I’m half as awesome when I’m 80. Plus incredible news about the mighty Souled American.

A reminder that the Foxy Digitalis site is dormant this week as I take a break to deal with some things, but there will still be new episodes of the Daily (tomorrow on Patreon, hey hey!). Today’s pick really surprised me in the best way and sent me scurrying off to dig deep into Mike Paradinas’s discography. Plus two news bits from Bill Orcutt and Keith Fullerton Whitman.

I am head-over-heels for the concept of today’s AOTD by Stefana Fratila. Even better? The music itself. Incredible album. Plus a bit of news about an enticing new record from Svitlana Nianio & Tom James Scott. No Foxy Digitalis updates next week! (but there should be new episodes of the Daily)

I am thrilled to share the first episode of The Seltzer Salon, a new series under the Foxy Digitalis banner that focuses on small conversations with a range of musicians, artists, writers, and whoever about various projects and ideas. I have long enjoyed listening to interviews, but I do not have the time to sit uninterrupted for an hour or more and really dig into many of these types of episodes. Granted, it’s easy to break them into multiple sessions, but I like the idea of more focused conversations about one (or two) projects - concise and convenient, hopefully, interesting for all.

With that, this conversation with Joe Posset about his new blog, All My Ideas Are Stolen, exploring the original 76 tapes on Union Pole, is the perfect starting point. I can trace the beginning of my interest in ‘outsider’ music in a direct line to the Union Pole label. When Joe mentioned this project to me earlier in the year, I was thrilled and knew we had to talk about it at some point. Well, here we are.

Union Pole: https://unionpole.com/

The Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis. Each episode features a musician, artist, writer, or anyone, really, focusing on a single project or idea. I know we all have limited time each day, so I wanted to do something a little smaller scale with just as much impact, so episodes will be 25-45 minutes in length.

A delightful new album from Sachi Kobayashi before a long ramble about trying to push all the bullshit out of your brain so you can focus on making the things you actually want to make. Then, we’ve got a real supergroup on our hands with the mighty Prairiewolf.
