The Good Music Show
Welcome to the Good Music Show with Danny and Julius! Each episode they will give each other an album or playlist based around a theme, then talk about the music and artists that make it. They'll cover a wide spread of artists that they care deeply about: from 2Pac to Willie Nelson, John Prine to Donna Summer, Ray Charles to Future. Keeping an open mind to new styles allows Danny and Julius, as well as listeners, the opportunity to step out of individualized music bubbles and find new music to love.

S2 E3 Flying Lotus’s “You're Dead!” x Leon Russell's “Leon Russell and the Shelter People” - Cosmic Gumbo
"It's kind of a cosmic gumbo, it almost moves to the beat of jazz" - Santa Claus on the film Detective Crashmore
What would cosmic gumbo be in music form? Today we answer that question with two fantastic albums. One that will blow your mind with its insane instrumentation and send you on a journey through the afterlife. The other will have you moaning the blues and rocking along with a cosmic preacher delivering a sermon about the state of the world in 1971.
Both albums are made up of a variety of different influences that come together to form something greater than the sum of its parts, just like gumbo. Let's just hope it doesn't waste all over the car.
