Exploring the musical liminal space between pigs and shit
The Jackass-Penguin Show created the certified bangers YOU (STILL) SMELL LIKE POO and PIG RAIN IN THE DESERT (Свиной дождь в пустыне). Listen and dance to the two tracks on your fav music streamery. Many of the Jackass-Penguin Show’s instrumental tunes combine succinct quirky jazziness, catchy melodies, inventive harmonic ideas, with elements of misanthropic easy-listening, zoological funk, and pesky '80s tv themes. @jackasspenguinshow on TikTok, jackasspenguinshow on YouTube
The original episode was posted in April 2012.
Nashville-based composer and guitarist Tory Slusher presents a small sample from her rich and extensive repertoire of jazz / fusion/art-rock /classical /electronic compositions, including the tracks Everybody Wants to Escape from New York, Naked Doughnut and Fine China.
To buy Tory's albums go to Bandcamp
The podcast's opening theme music had been Perfect Sense from the EP Egg by the Jackass-Penguin Show. This was the first time it was played in full.
