El Americano Cósmico

10/04/2025

Finally discovered that it was the band AIR that sampled and looped the intro to "Do It Again" from The Beach Boys providing a nice dream trance vibe to their track. Love using WhoSampled to figure out which artists sampled what.

Floating Dreamy tracks courtesy of Bill Frisell, The Beach Boys & Laurent Lombard, open up this show giving way to some Sitar Rock, Cambodian Rock, & Psych Out stuff.

Good set of Surfotica from The Concussions, The Volcanics, Glasgow Tiki Shakers, etc & some B3 jazz funk from Menahan Street Band, The New Mastersounds & Khruangbin round out the second half of the show.

This show originally aired on Sept. 15, 2024 & will rebroadcast this Sunday on Radio Free Brooklyn at 9AM EST/1500 CET!

Can u dig it?

Not trying to phone it in, but been busy on a project. So here's another one from the Radio Free Brooklyn archive broadcasting from 9-10AM EST/1500-1600 CET!

This show I liked because I felt like I did a pretty good job flowing fairly seamlessly through some Mellow Surfotica tracks, to some Psychedelic Psych out from California & Cambodia & then some hard driving B3 funk rounding it out with some far out Voodoo Jazz from Miles Davis & some funky Nina Simone.

Not too shabby for a one hour show.

As I study some past shows & give them a closer listen with the headphones, I came across the second show that I did for Radio Free Brooklyn on June 16, 2024. This one surprised me.

These tracks are selected from a "one year hiatus from radio" listening experience giving them a long distilled process. The poem featured here was also a surprise.

Forget what I had written and performed and it sounded like I was listening to someone else's work. About as objective one can come to one's own work.

Also, this is one of the last shows where I typically used a 3-4 minute intro track to start a show. Found it unnecessary for a one hour show. However, it was fun hearing The Pink Panther Theme disco/funk version open up the show with v/o.

Enjoy this Sunday from 9-10AM EST/1500-1600 CET on www.radiofreebrooklyn.org!
