Magic Junk Radio 3: The Bachelor Must Die
By making a 3rd installment of Magic Junk Radio, I’ve now officially committed myself to podcasting. After all, one or two episodes could be explained as a happy accident or a fluke. But with three, I’m out of excuses until I reach at least seven or so. Oh my dear black star in the sky, what have I gotten myself into?
Commitment (in one way or another) seems to be a recurring theme for me though. Since Magic Junk Radio 3 is subtitled “The Bachelor Must Die,” you could say it’s art imitating life. Yes, it is my own bachelorhood that will be getting the axe, as I’m getting married this weekend. *insert sound here of Shaggy and Scooby going “Gulp!” with dramatic fear* But it’s all good.
Anyway, MJR 3 is our first voyage into a ‘concept’ podcast. So I hope that can be the Jell-O mold for future shows, since it would help maintain my severely fractured focus. At least, that’s the pipe dream I’m smoking right now. But it sure sounds inspirational, so I’ll stick with it.
If you’ve haven’t tuned in before, MJR can best be described as an eclectic maelstrom of sounds, voices and samples. #3 is a little tighter musically than its predecessors, and clocks in at a respectable 18:23— with a heavy dose of electronica, some rock, new jazz, and even a 1970’s-style power ballad! (yes, it’s meant to be intentionally funny) If that isn’t proof I’m subconsciously suffering from wedding stress, then I don’t know what could be. Cheers.
