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. 👇

You're just going to have to down-tools and focus on this, sorry. But don't worry, you'll thank us for it. Link in comments.👇

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."

The Mad Tea Party with Alice Peters-Burns on NQRA radio.

Avant-garde folk, psychedelic folk, and progressive folk music—along with other experimental and underground sounds from Alice Peters-Burns. Only on NQRA.

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.

There's also a great look at Tarnation's Gentle Creatures album at 30. Take a deep breath...

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.
