Show Notes
We are baaaaaaaaaack!!!! The EarWax crew braces the unrelenting heat to bring you a fresh episode. And what an album to bring us back - Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You". Where does one go after almost a decade of fronting the unbelievably funky Rufus? She goes out on her own and rules the early 80s, obviously. With appearances by Melle Mel, Stevie Wonder, a song written by Prince, and plenty of Chaka's fire, "I Feel For You" showed that she was going to stay around well beyond the 70s. Chaka Khan stays crushing it to this day, and this record...well, just go listen. Check out everything we have going on via the info below: Instagram: @earwaxpod

What in the actually-good-celebrity-project do we have here? See, but that's not even doing this week's album justice. Because we have a prominently featured children's choir! The EarWax crew chop it up about Dead Man's Bones' self-titled (and as of this episode - only) record. If spooky-cozy were a genre, this album would be the prime example of that. Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields both love the macabre, they both wanna make some jamz, and so they did. And what we get is one of the chillest, most lovely Halloween-ish records out there.

Sometimes we get to tell wonderful stories about cool people. Amidst all the scumminess of the music industry, there do exist the real ones. We talk about one of the realest - Wayne Shorter - and his unbelievable record "Speak No Evil". With a lineup whose collective resumes are longer than two CVS receipts, this album bridges Shorter's timeline - connecting the past, present, and future while still sounding entirely unique. It's haunting, vulnerable, cool, and sweet. Pretty much all ways you could also describe Wayne Shorter. God, I wish we could have been friends!

Ayo, we are back. Mainly it's Spencer who is back, Hilary and Cody neva left. Regardless, we got new releases and music news aplenty in this installment of Music This Week. How about Sheryl Crow dropping a new record? Mmmm, oh, and Zach Bryan rocking the Free Palestine shirt right in Robert Kraft's stadium. Beautiful, simply beautiful. All that and a whole heck of a lot more inside Music. This. Weeeeeeeeeek. Check out everything we have going on via the info below: Instagram: @earwaxpod
Set the controls on full fuckin' blast, we are headed into the universe of whenever - somewhere in the future...except it's happening right now on this week's episode! Cody and Hilary hold on for dear life breaking down Dylan Brady and Laura Les' genreless and genre defining 1000 gecs. It's just weird, man, in a great way. Go listen for yourself, you'll see, and then you'll come back to it out of curiosity, then because it's just so damn catchy, and finally, because it has so. much. heart.

We don't do parental advisories here, because we're cool. But if we did, this week's episode would be plastered with warnings so the youths' ears are not exposed to the intense, raw, unfiltered glory that is Lil' Kim's "Hard Core". Kim unflinchingly tackles basically everything to do with her sexuality with candor far ahead of its time. "Hard Core" is really the only title befitting the debut album from one of hip-hop's pioneers. Check out everything we have going on via the info below: Instagram: @earwaxpod
