Episode 20! It's Magic Organ time again and this week we do two things. One, we bring back second listens of some of our favorite records of the year thus far and two we fade the shit out of them over the course of 13 minutes. Not just ordinary fades but boom pow dome poppin' fades. Jazz, hip hop, bluegrass, electronic bumpin' and abstract both, and world music we cram it in tight in hopes of getting it into your system. Celebrate music people, not the business of music which is a bag of dicks!

Hit me up with your love and your hate as it's such a thin line.

Join your host, The Magic Organ Guy aka The Skeptical Chimp aka Rando Music Guy for a bucket of hot nugs to help you face the collapse of human civilization. And as usual we're hung up on quality, not on genre. Thanks for listening!

Excerpts from this episode:

L'Orange: I Am Different

Episode 19! Whilst I believe I've delivered this podcast episode without file mishaps and with accurate show notes, I did forget to mention during my commentary the Lionmilk excerpt, Morning Conversation as it was playing. It's a chill funk sitch. Otherwise we have a great episode kicked off with solo vibes from, Patricia Brennan, big lyrics from Buffalo's Every Time I Die with 'Planet Shit' and then some bouncing around from hip hop to electronic to North African rock music and out with some Aussie dancefloor bangin'.

Hit me up with your love and your hate as it's such a thin line.
