EarWax is Amoeba Music's first podcast!

Hosts Hilary and Cody chat about new releases and in-store events, so you are always up to date on the goings on of the world's largest independent record store.

Each week, we tell the story of one particular album. How was it made? Where does it exist in our history? What effect did it have then, and how does it affect us today?

EarWax is two longtime record store clerks doing what we do best - learning about and sharing the stories behind the albums we love.

In the summer of 1972, the Rolling Stones swept across an America still smoldering from the tumult of the ‘60s, bringing their gritty masterpiece Exile on Main St. to the masses. Rolling Stone magazine journalist Robert Greenfield was along for the ride, writing the seminal rock book STP (Stones Touring Party) — culled from weeks on the road and more than 60 hours of interviews with the band and their entourage. Now, for the first time, Greenfield and fellow STP vet Gary Stromberg share that tape archive, allowing listeners to sit in on intimate chats with the Stones in their prime. Written and hosted by Jordan Runtagh, with original music by Noel Brown and Mykal Alder June, Stones Touring Party is an all-access pass to the sights, sounds, riots, bombings, drug busts, death threats and other assorted mayhem from this pivotal moment in American history.

This podcast examines the perennial quest of Latin Americans and Latinx peoples to create more just and equitable societies. The series focuses on the political project of Latin American rock en español, a musical genre that challenged the hegemony of English rock and began in the 1970s.

During the 1970s, a number of Latin American countries were faced with dictatorships and military coups that led to the “dirty wars” in which citizens were traumatized, tortured, and murdered. This project will be examining the lyrics for main themes of social justice that circulated during the dirty wars of Mexico, Chile, and Argentina in particular.

We will also feature intergenerational conversations to examine the legacies of this music in our present moment and how Rock en Español was employed by LA Latinas and Latinos to fight against anti-immigrant rhetoric and politics in 1990s California.

This project is supported in part by the University of California Office of the President MRPI funding M21PR3286.

An epic side hustle by Meat Puppet members Elmo Kirkwood and Derrick Bostrom, wherein they do their very best to explain to the world why it is that they are the way they are.

The ramblings of 2 girls, Serena and Emily, who live in a delusional fantasy world where nothing exists except for Taylor Swift. We’ve been massive fans for over half our lives, and are always looking for an excuse to talk about it. We’ll dive into theories, share stories, and dream of the next time we get to see her. 

There is always something happening in the Taylor Swift universe, and we want to talk about it all. We have a lot to say—controversial opinions included. Aside from being massive fans, we are both self-employed creatives with big (delusional?) dreams of someday working with her.
