automatic writing on n10as

Delicate, sensual and a sure delight for lazy bike rides, basking in the sun of a balmy afteroon. A warm breeze spinning the weather vane due North, as winds rise from the South to thaw the East coast out from the chasms of a gloomy winter. 

For episode 25 of automatic writing, I am very happy to invite my friend Joey Power into the mix. Tune in for a two-hourlong serving of lo-fi soul, lovers (un)classics, new age delights and more.

I know a lot of people who love music and love it so intensely, but I don't know many who embody it the way Savannah does. For her, it seems to be both an extension of her deepest feelings and expression of pure abstraction. Listening to records with her can feel like an endless opening up, and it's a true joy-- like eating sun-ripened peach on an island beach, with your closest friends abound, slowly sinking into the sand, as the cool waves melt into your body. 

So close your eyes and lay yourself down for 2 hours of ecstasy, love and sex with the maestro Savannah at the decks.

For this month, we have a very special guest selector and dear friend, Jodie, holding it together (aren't we all?) for the second hour. 

Along with her partner Saad, she runs everyone's favorite bar, The Little Jerry. God knows how many saucy nights I've had there– early into the morning, dancing, on god knows what, barely holding it together (aren't we all?), having the TIME OF MY LIFE. Each week, we'd all compete for who on staff would win the ultimate title of being Head Cockroach (a nice 4-armed race to the dump).

I can't tell you how much I love her. And it's a deep pleasure to have her in for this month's radio show. So pop something bubbly, sit back and tune the heck in.

P.S. Small Jerry just launched a new mix series which may be in your interest to check out>>>>

As always, no rules, no format. PLEASURE FOREVER.

Before ever chatting with Izaak, mutual friends told us both how much we reminded them of each other. Somewhere in lockdown, we finally connected and have been messaging constantly; about music, but also this vacuum we call life on Earth. One day, we'll meet. For now, friendship takes many forms and this mix is one of them. 

Izaak says the sound is very January, and I'd have to agree. My roommate came in while it was on and said this mix was very sad. I think it feels more like a k-hole. Either way, here's to the blues and all the feelings that come with cold weather and out of body experiences. Catch Iz for the first hour.

automatic writing w/ Izaak & Tender Buttons (January 2021)

The last thing I really did before the pandemic started was spend 4 days in Detroit. It was exactly a year ago— Ryan, Andi, Benny and Mike invited me to come for the Salon party— and it’s a high that’s sailed me through the stormier nights this past year. 

We spent the days driving around, talking— and every night we cranked deep into the sounds— the ones we recently found, the ones that keep us going, the ones that affirm the intense pleasure of listening. I don’t remember sleeping much while I was there, although I know it must’ve happened. I do remember wondering where this magnificent energy I had came from. 

At some point, the term “Midwestern hospitality” was explained to me, which is unlike any other sweetness I’ve met on the planet. Is Michigan the centre of the universe? Maybe.

This the first in a series of lovers mixes — music by couples who DJ together (no Lovers Rock required). 

The automatic writing show is a free-form, freewheeling, cacophony of sounds; an experiment in friendship; a warm bath for the earwax. Stop, Drop, Listen. 👂

“Listening is not the same as hearing and hearing is not the same as listening. Listening is selecting and interpreting and acting and making decisions. Listen to everything all the time and remind yourself when you are not listening."
