If you are reading this post now, you have reached Magic Junk Radio too late. After sixteen fun filled episodes, the MJR podcast has been retired and will not be returning for the foreseeable future.

But this does not mean M. Sahm and S. Rod have surrendered to their day jobs or relented to a life of mediocrity and TV watching. You can find the Somrod duo’s current projects and activities at any of the links above.

Nevertheless, we encourage you to check out any and all of the podcasts and singles below. Thanks for listening. Cheers.

Rather than give you a complicated explanation, this podcast’s content can be summed up in some classic metaphors: Clearing out the vault. Emptying the clip. Wiping the slate clean. If we had even a one-hundredth of the talent of Led Zeppelin, you could say this is our Coda.

Magic Junk Radio 16: Failure to Sell Out is a commentary-free musical mix of every remaining composition that Sahm and S.Rod had saved or started since MJR began in 2005. Clocking in at all-time high of 47:12, MJR 16 leaves no Somrod stone unturned. It’s humble as always, but lovely in its’ own twisted right. Hope you enjoy the results. Cheers.

Closure is a good thing. Maybe not the best of things… but when you know it’s there for you, it just feels right. For the past 10 months, we’ve been going back and forth on bringing Magic Junk Radio to an end after nearly five years of remixes and compositions. We had planned to publish Episode 15 back in November, and then plan out episodes for 2010.

But instead, we decided that there’s not much new we’re able to do with MJR to warrant the effort that is put into creating it. We’ve decided to concentrate our efforts into our more constructive creative endeavours (Exhibit A and Exhibit B) and go from there. Inevitably, we’ll be back one day in some audio shape or form, but not too similar to what we’ve already done. And that, as they say, is that.

Nevertheless, Magic Junk Radio 15: Flight of the Quitstay finds us retiring at the top of our game (or at least as good as our game can get). Clocking in at a finale worthy 42:57, MJR 15 is a strong representative of everything that has made MJR what it is. We always ask for feedback… but hell, if you don’t leave it now, then when? Thanks for listening and keep creating. Cheers.
