nonplussed radio is a grand rapids-based internet radio show born out of the early days of the covid-19 pandemic. each episode is 2 hours, giving me plenty of time to share a wide range of expansive and unique music from across the world. for my 1 hour set at backwards compatible, i wanted to highlight some of my favorite releases of 2025, as well as present an honest reflection of what the radio show is about. i chose lots of quiet music and played many short excerpts from much longer pieces. i also experimented a little more with playing multiple things together (Foresteppe + Eylül Deniz), which was a lot of fun! i'm happy with how this mix turned out, it's just as warm and cozy as i'd hoped. the Lawalree/Woldman mashup is by Jack Rollo. showcard image is Matsu ni yukidaruma (Snowman under a Pine) by Katei Hōjō, 18th century. https://www.mixcloud.com/nonplussedradio/
Hello stranger, goodbye friend.
Brumaire is joined this week by Rapidian staple Allison, to discuss her work in the journal and other media endeavors! Allison is a veteran reporter for the Rapidian, and works extensively with the Grand Rapids Media Center. A great show for those looking to get more involved in the electoral and journalistic side of things here in Grand Rapids.
i didn’t mean to make the episode this european i swear
This week's mix is all music specially chosen for sitting underneath that giant molten sun that gives us the sweet nutrients we need to survive. let your feet touch the grass. Drink some wine on an old blanket. Watch the people go by and appreciate these sweet summer days we wait for all year.
blu. steps (rolls) in while DJ Ahn is out on honeymoon. I have a lot more biking music so maybe there will be more in the future.
