Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #647 is another hour of inventive, dynamic visionary acoustic improvised music brought to you by Mariam Massaro and Bob Sherwood of the Gaea Star Band with Mariam on vocals, Native flute, acoustic guitar, double flute, mandolin and ukulele and Bob on piano. Today's show is recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-November of 2025 and begins with the lush, relaxed and relaxing “Powered By The Almighty In The Avenues Of Light”, a deep, reverently emotional acoustic guitar ballad with pretty, minimalist ostinatos from Bob on piano. We pick up the pace with the driving, celebratory “Snow Queen Came Last Night”, a fine bit of driving, tight ukulele and storytelling from Mariam and a very cool piano setup from Bob that stretches into the powerful flute-and-vocal conversation “Oh, How The Wind Blows In”, featuring fine, impassioned work from Mariam over Bob's powerfully emotive piano cadences. “Sparkling Rays From The Starry Realms” is a frenetic, midnight-colored air created around Mariam's driving, abandoned, chiming mandolin that veers from hard blues to unfettered Eastern European folk in an unsettled, inspired musical journey. Mariam's overtone-producing double flute makes its appearance for the meteorologically active “Oh The Rain”, all wind and passing squalls explained in a driving, electronically treated piano-vocal-Native flute workout with outstanding vocals and piano and “Sail To The Realms”, a moody, evocative-of-adventure song from Mariam's “Gaea Star Crystal” LP is given a duo treatment with a lovely vocal from Mariam over her shimmering acoustic guitar and Bob's tightly controlled classical piano cadences. “Sing Down The Walls” another song from “Gaea Star Crystal” is taken as a Verdian opera overture highlighting Mariam's tight, expressive vocal. We conclude today's show with the active, imaginative, sprawling “Essence Of Life”, a driving rocker built on sheets of driving acoustic guitar and percussive, tight piano.

"This week on Wrestling Omakase John is joined by returning guest Velkej Bracha as they start out by discussing bad booking (AEW, because John went to Full Gear for god knows what reason) and good booking (STARDOM, despite what you may have heard!). And, uh, vaccines I guess? Then they move into their planned topics for the episode, which start out with NOAH's 11/21 Cross Over show from Sendai. John discusses NOAH absolutely bombing at the gate, Kaito Kiyomiya's continued very bad year, Team 2000X being like the House without any of the charm, and the NOAH juniors saving the day. Then they get into the actual House, as they do a full review of the special PURGE NIGHT OF TORTURE event produced by everyone's favorite unit from last week at Korakuen! Yeah! Topics include: SANADA thankfully not being a Nazi, double duty Dick Togo, NJPW clearly wants to get their hands on Kaisei Takechi, Saya Kamitani slaps the shit out of a pimp, and KYUUUSHOOOO!Then it's back to STARDOM for two more nights of their ongoing Goddesses tag league, one of which was one of the best tag league shows so far and one of which, uh, was not. Saori & Poi are finally back (thank god), so really the day is saved no matter what. John then tries to get into all the remaining block scenarios for the last two nights but probably fucks it up, because it's complicated and they're kind of stupid. Sorry! They stick with joshi as they head to Sendai Girls next to review their 11/18 show from....wow....Sendai? Is that right?! They discuss Spike Nishimura having a hell of a performance, Mika Iwata actually winning a match (!) and a disappointing main. Finally, they wrap things up with OZ Academy's 11/23 Korakuen show, which might be the first time they've ever been reviewed on this podcast. It's a hell of a retirement show for former GAEA wrestler Sonoko Kato, and they go into it all in detail.Fill out this form if you're interested in appearing on our Wrestle Kingdom Week preview show (deadline for submissions is 11/30!): https://forms.gle/PoTPsfetRribc4Av9Follow Wrestling Omakase's Twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on Bluesky: http://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.social"Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hear the two break down the film as well as the content of it as well which focuses on the GAEA Dojo led by legendary Joshi wrestler Chigusa Nagayo which at times devolves into psychological analysis as well as a look at possibly separating the kayfabe from the real   The Kim Longinotto & Jana Williams film documents the life of multiple trainees of GAEA over the course of the summer of 1999 eventually centering around rookie wrestler Saika Takeuchi and her October debut and her quest to "become someone" and her intense training with (a 19 year old) Meiko Satomura as well as Chigusa Nagayo and others including cameo appearances from Sakura Hirota, Toshie Uematsu, Sonoko Kato and even a young Thanomsak Toba!? Among others. It is a journey that sees many fall off and quit, but we discuss the capabilities of the bread truck and if Satomura could have become a J-Pop star so...it's not all bad I guess. Except for Wakabayashi. It was pretty much all bad.

Rich and deeply improvisatory, “Smile” is driven briskly by Mariam's energized vocal and chiming dulcimer while Rob provides color with his fiddle and Chris and Bob provide a compelling plagal cadence framework on acoustic guitar and piano. “Happy I Am” continues the “Smile” lineup, supporting Mariam's the lovely, simple lyric of this exemplary, beautiful song from Mariam. “The Ballad Of Belfast Bay” is a fantastic folk waltz from the Griffin brothers with Rob on lead vocals and fiddle and Chris on acoustic guitar and Rob harmonizing as only brothers can as Craig, Mariam and Bob provide musical support. Chris takes the lead on his original number “Way Out West With A.T. Doe”, a driving minor country rock song featuring epic fiddle work from Rob and fine contributions from the ensemble. Next up is Mariam's “Room Of Doubt”, a blues rock number that smolders with Mariam's fine vocal and powerful work from the ensemble, particularly from Rob who picks up his mandolin for the smoldering workout. “Room Of Doubt” opens into a gorgeous coda with Mariam conversing with her sweeping, evocative Native flute over affecting piano ostinatos from Bob that veer from classical to fatfinger blues and gorgeous violin runs from Rob Griffin. Chris Griffin steps back up to the mic with his beautiful, soulful “Set Her Free”, a fine 70s-soul-flavored ballad with sensitive, additive contributions from all, particularly Rob with his bittersweet violin lines. “Pele” is a powerful island song by Mariam that the band sets on fire to a degree that would impress its namesake with bottomless enthusiasm from the ensemble and “Gypsy” is another exemplary song from Mariam cast by the band as a moonlit Romani reel filled with soaring violin runs and incendiary piano. The song detonates into a powerful, driving coda as Mariam's vocal and then her eerie, midnight double flute overtones dance with Rob's violin above the racing, yet focused and emphatic ensemble. A highlight. Bob comes forward to close the show with his rock gospel number “Coming Home” delivering a powerful vocal over a hypnotic, minimalist ensemble sprinkled with compelling violin lines from Rob and affecting, lilting vocalisms and Native flute from Mariam.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #637 is an hour of intrepid, visionary acoustic improv music played and sung by the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, double flutes, ukulele and Native flute, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live in early September of 2025, today begins with a live rendition of one of Mariam's finest songs, “This Is The Way”, taken at an energized pace and featuring a fine vocal from Mariam. “Farewell To Summer” is a gorgeous, extended piece with another striking vocal from Mariam and energized, inspired work from the ensemble and “Lunalya” is a gorgeous ballad about an interstellar unicorn that begins with a fanfare from Mariam's overtone-generating double flutes before developing into a beautiful ballad underpinned with earthy heartbeat drum from Craig. “Flower Of Life” is a stately piece with inspired gospel piano from Bob and a beautiful, evocative vocal and Native flute conversation from Mariam. “Gather Together”, another of Mariam's finest songs, is presented with a spacious, wide, operatic sound stage that creates an elegant space for Mariam's high, Apollonian poetry and “Ode To Mother Earth” is a sprawling, multi-movement that begins as a sparse, mandolin-based pop song and gradually develops into a mystical, raga-like mantra with a particularly powerful spiritual presence with grooving congas and imaginative piano backing Mariam's epic vocal poetry and Native flute passages.

We are joined today by special guests David Morningstar on background vocals and acoustic guitar and on the last track Eve Cristoph on backing vocals. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in early September of 2025, today's show begins with the pretty, ancient-sounding “Dive Deep To Reach Your Soul's True Longing”, a skipping forest song with dancing dulcimer and mystical Native flute passages from Mariam and “Count Your Blessings, Keep Shining Bright” is a driving, blustery rock song with imaginative piano and an inspiring lyric from Mariam over Craig's driving congas. The Track enters an extended coda with Mariam playing her mysterious double flute, a unique instrument that creates audible overtones in a miasma of harmony. “All Life Is Sacred” is another acoustic rock number with a distant Andean flare and an affecting vocal from Mariam and “Living On The Holy Ground” is a bright, skipping, sunny folk song driven by Maram's chiming mandolin and evocative, distant droning vocals from Daniel over gospel piano and steady congas from Craig. “Breath Together” has a suspended blues flavor and begins with a conversation between Mariam's harmonica and her inspired poetry as it blooms into a powerful, spacious gospel song before segueing into a second movement, “Open The Windows To Receive”, a sparse but sophisticated tone poem set to the heartbeat thump of Craig's Native drum and bittersweet, iconic piano. For the final section “Keep On Dreaming We Can Change The World” with Daniel joining Mariam for the anthemic chorus. Eve Cristoph joins Mariam on vocals for today's beautiful closer, the ocean anthem “Yemanja” a mystical mermaid goddess song featuring exemplary work from the whole ensemble.

For the spacious, compelling coda Mariam plays her new double flute, an instrument that creates two flute notes and an overtone, resulting in lush, rich harmonies. “The Black Moon” is a hypnotic ballad interspersed with powerful Native flute passages and a languid, beautiful melody from Mariam and “Bestowing Blessings” is as driving, powerful anthem with fine piano soloing work from Bob and tight accompaniment from the ensemble for Mariam's powerful, expressive vocal. “Twin Flame” from the “Smooth Sailin' Love Songs” LP is a mystical, reverent song with a classical vibe and another fine vocal from Mariam.

Recorded live in late July of 2025 at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today's show begins with the hallucinatory, hazy summer anthem “Love Is The Holy Sacred Way”, an energetic minor workout with a soaring vocal and a gorgeous, unusual coda of soaring Native flute, heartbeat drum and lush, imaginative key cycles on the piano. “Deep Inside Is The Divine” is a deep blues with earthy harmonica and Ray Charles influenced piano work and “In Your Doorway” is a fantastical, breathless mandolin-driven rocker with a fine vocal and skipping congas. This piece codas into another panoramic Native flute coda called “Humaya”, an intense, focused accompaniment from the ensemble that reintroduces Mariam's vocal in a deeply spiritual, chanting poem. “Flowing Like Spirit” is an affecting acoustic guitar ballad with a wistful, gentle vocal from Mariam and “Flowers Of Delight” from Mariam's “Release” LP is presented with a serene, mystical vibe that supports a particularly fine vocal and soaring Native flute from Mariam. “Blessed By Every Delight (In The Grandest Union)” is another playful, mesmerizing, skipping mandolin-driven reel that evokes the deep forest to conclude today's hour.   Learn more about Mariam here: http://www.mariammassaro.com

Ein Nashorn erlegen, um dann den Kopf als Trophäe an die Wand zu hängen? Das ist das Hobby von Großwildjägern in Afrika. Ein perfides Hobby über das Gaea Schoeters in ihren Roman "Trophäe", 2024 in Deutschland erschienen, geschrieben hatte. Dafür wurde die flämische Autorin mit dem Literaturpreis Sabam for Culture ausgezeichnet. Jetzt hat Gaea Schoeters einen neuen Roman vorgelegt: "Das Geschenk", und wieder widmet sich die Schriftstellerin den globalen Fragen aus europäischer Perspektive, schaut mit dem vermeintlich überlegenen Blick auf den afrikanischen Kontinent und hinterfragt koloniale Sichtweisen und Strukturen. Was bewegt Gaea Schoeters? Warum hat sie sich diesem sensiblen Thema verschrieben? Darüber spricht Gaea Schoeters mit Katja Weise in NDR Kultur à la carte.
