If you stop to think about it, there are really only two typical climate observations from astute Austinites. 1: It’s too hot and the sun is literally cooking us alive. 2: It’s too cold and the sun needs to come back ASAP. Yeah, we’re a special kind of simple southerners in our own way. But […] The post Swimming With Bears: “Patient Disguise” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Ever get stuck in between states of sleep? Ya know, that Inception-type trip where R.E.M. feels more like reality than when you actually rise? If so…far out, man. Us too. If not, we’ve got just the thing to try and replicate it: Cloud Companion. Now, the term “collective” gets thrown around a little too often […] The post Cloud Companion: “Who Took The Night Away” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
A lot of self-proclaimed go-getters take full responsibility for their actions and efficacy. The motivation and blueprints to make changes in their lives is always at hand. For others though? They’ve got no opposition to looking up at the sky, acknowledging that the universe’s inner workings are beyond control, and just hoping for help from […] The post SKLOSS: “The Pattern Speaks” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
We end up saying this pretty much every pass around the sun, but it ends up proving true every time: 2024’s been a big year for Austin music. Lots of project premieres and lots of studio recordings debuting on streaming. And that includes acts that have only popped up in the past couple months. A […] The post Rojenka: “Dang Girlfriend” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Whether you’re an amateur astronomer, unapologetic astrologer, wannabe werewolf, or just love gazing at that big airborne pizza pie every once in a while, pretty much everyone can agree that there’s a certain magic to witnessing a full moon. And depending on how tethered you feel to Earth’s nightlight, as it cycles through phases, you […] The post Warm Sound: “Moons” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Everyone’s capable of “seeing the light”, whether it’s through newfound sobriety, bringing up the “bright side” post-crucifixion, or just waking up a little earlier in your daily routine. But of course, the lead up to those optimistic rays can take some serious time. Take for instance Collin Mullins and his inspiring personal journey. A staple […] The post Collin Mullins: “Sunny Side” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
We’re just two weeks away from Thanksgiving and wouldn’t you know it, it’s finally starting to feel like Fall down here. You’d be hard pressed to find a Texan who doesn’t appreciate the drop in temps, but then again, the spirit of summertime is simply a year-round celebration for some folks. Folks like Austin’s Angela […] The post Days of Summer: “Need to Escape” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Itchin’ for a sentimental dish of Southern soul ahead of Thanksgiving? You’re in luck! We’ve got a member of Nashville country royalty gracing us with her presence in just a couple days. Yes, we’re laying out a path of petals ahead of an upcoming appearance from Maggie Rose. It’s been a decade and a half […] The post Maggie Rose: “No One Gets Out Alive” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
North Carolina’s been in the news a lot lately, and our hearts go out to everyone in Asheville who are rebuilding after Hurricane Helene. Anecdotally, we also know some folks who sought sanctuary in nearby Raleigh, and we’ve learned that Raleigh’s also a refuge for one couple’s killer electronic collaboration. We’re talking about Waking April, […] The post Waking April: “Rules” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
It’s finally starting to get chilly ’round these parts…at least at night. You know what that means: cuffing season is upon us. So if your slow jams playlist is starting to feel a bit stale, we’ve got great news for you. Austin soul-funk nine-piece Honey Made just unfurled a sensual five-minute inferno – “Pass Me […] The post Honey Made: “Pass Me By” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
We’re getting to a point in time where, save for hardcore fans of the Rocky franchise, the general population remembers a certain name under only one context. And that was as one of Austin’s premiere ’60s-fied garage pop rock outfits. Ya know…Burgess Meredith. Still though, it’s a name we haven’t heard in quite some time. […] The post Burgess Meredith: “Nowhere” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
ACL Fest 2024 already feels like a distant memory. But there’s one more pop-up nugget that we absolutely need to share in the name of Austin music. And that’s on behalf of Midnight Navy, the project of singer-songwriter/saxophonist/producer Francisco Jose Rosales. Though Rosales first landed on streaming in 2018 with three standalone singles, Midnight Navy […] The post Midnight Navy: “Solo Tú” (ACL Fest Pop-Up) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
It’s Election Day. If you haven’t voted yet, please try and make some time in your schedule to go do so; it’s your civic duty…and it’s kinda cool. At least feeling like you have some semblance of efficacy, that your voice can make a difference. In other words, if you still haven’t cast your ballot, […] The post Futon Blonde: “Drawing Again” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Demanding attention. Acting erratically. Stirring the pot just to start some shit. We’ve seen plenty of all that int the lead up to this election, but truth be told, for some people, that’s just part of their hardwired human nature. At least that’s the inspiration for the latest single from Deer Fellow. This Austin duo’s […] The post Deer Fellow: “Shock Value” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
It’s a new month. It’s new music Friday. And there’s a fresh collaboration out that’ll really spice up your playlists. One that marks the welcome return of Cilantro Boombox. See, the genre-bonding octet formally entered the Austin scene a dozen years back with their eponymous debut and followed it up a half decade later with […] The post Cilantro Boombox: “Best Shoes” (feat. Jake Lloyd) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Happy Halloween! We’re hittin’ this hallow-day with…Hans Gruber and the Die Hards?! Wait a minute, haven’t we already decreed that the iconic Bruce Willis/Alan Rickman action comedy is a Christmas staple? Well…whatever. What we do know for sure is that this Austin five-piece has spent the past decade funneling their passions into all things punk, […] The post Hans Gruber and the Die Hards: “Trepanation” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
For a ton of creatives, Halloween is little more than an autumnal gimmick, an excuse to break from the regular programming and indulge in the creepy, macabre, or unnerving. For others though, the elements of Spooky Season might as well be part of the daily routine three hundred and sixty five days straight. And you […] The post Social Dissonance: “Nightstalker” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Everyone’s favorite holiday is rapidly descending upon us, and we’re commemorating the occasion by counting down to All Hallow’s Eve with some of the spookiest stuff the city’s had to offer over the past month or so. And we’ll start with Ben Brown, a decade-and-a-half veteran of the local scene who’s historically shared the spotlight […] The post Ben Brown: “Until the Dead Rise” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

When you’re going through the motions, relying on routine thought loops, and not taking “carpe diem” to heart, life can feel like it’s the same sh*t, different day…over and over again. But bless yourself with the small gift of variety every once in awhile, and you’ll soon find that you’re thriving rather than just surviving.
