The Gerard Cosloy Radio Hour (That Feels Like Two Hours)
by Gerard Cosloy
Because it's really two hours long. Sometimes even longer. How long a musical journey would you go on without having replaced the windshield blades?

09/09/26 Show 328 : Pledge Allegiance To Xtract One & eConnect
we’re on the precipice of marking the 25th anniversary of a horrible event that would usher in an unprecedented nũ-normal era of authoritarianism and mass surveillance. EVR management would have you believe the webcam to the station’s on-air booth is currently off-line due to “technical issues”…

09/02/26 Show 327 : That Horse That You Can't Ride
there’s a gushy piece in today’s Guardian about a teenager who took to IG to document his attempts to listen to one Merzbow album each day. It’s a fun article and the fella in question seems nice and inquisitive enough, except WHAT THE FUCK, this twerp STOLE MY IDEA. Long before some of you…

08/26/26 Show 326 : The Final Breckin-ing
I usually try to stay away from promotional gimmickry on the program — I am sure you’ll agree between the musical selections and my effervescent commentary, no such pandering is required to maintain a vast audience. However, under considerable pressure from EVR management, this week I have been...

08/19/26 Show 325 : Sound & Furby Signifying Nothing
I know what you're saying, "that is one ugly ass Furby". In fact, it's a FUGGLER, and I know this because I tried to attend this weekend's Sound & Furby Festival and was asked to leave because they found the FUGGLER in my backpack. It's a Furby-only festival and apparently there are very strict...
-
08/12/26 Show 324 : Everybody's Got A Hungry Heart (Punch Story)
earlier this week I was looking up an old Popular Mechanics story about a global oxide shortage (hoping for some insights as to why Cassette Store Day is no longer a thing — I mean, there could be no other reason, right) and instead saw a report that despite a US ban on biological weapons, the…

08/05/26 Show 323 : This Program Is 75-80% Finished
there’s so many things I deeply appreciate about Blabbermouth.com but there’s no feature on the site nearly as crucial as their devotion to updating us with detailed progress reports such as these. If Sully from Godsmack’s spoken word album is “70 percent done”, we can wait with bated breath for...
-
07.29.26 Show 322 : We're All NewsMaxxing (Whether We Want To Or Not)
While some of my friends are rightfully taking exception this morning to the announcement of NewsMax and Meta’s “content partnership”, I am very sorry to say I’m instead firmly focused on the misdeeds of the latter concern. To wit, the IG algorithm serving me a relentless, mind-numbing spate of...
-
07/22/26 Show 321 : What Goes Up Must Come Down (Unless It Stays Up)
there’s been a succession of counter-cultural figures whose passings have been confirmed over the past week, and as always it is terribly important that you take great pains to publicly express that you never liked their work (anyway), or even better, you were at one time or another, an acolyte,...
-
07/15/26 Show 320 : All Moments Are Special, But Some are MORE Special
in honor of today’s crucial England v Argentina tilt, I’d planned on playing The Special Moments’ 2009 opus, ‘Eric : The Falklands Follies’ from start to finish , however at the very last moment the licensing dept. rang and said permission had been denied. It seems Baz and Reg Lumley are…
more -
07/08/26 Show 319 : Bringing Home The (Rage) Bait)
I have to confess, until very recently I was not fully aware of the phenomenon commonly referred to as "rage bait". Live Bait, Squirrel Bait, Live Skull’s 1985 masterpiece ‘Bringing Home The Bait’, sure, rage bait, maybe not. But that was before I saw countless "Best American Band Ever" lists...
-
07/01/26 Show 318 : Down In Front (Unless The Sign Has Writing On Both Sides)
life is full of crushing disappointments. Turn up for early for the “America 250” party, only to learn Danny Tantrum’s set has been cancelled (“technical issues”, yeah, right) . You spend nearly 3 entire minutes making a “Fire (David) Stearns” sign and you’re kicked out of Citi Field by Steve...
-
06/24/26 Show 317 : TRY NOT TO OD ON ALL THE IMPACTFUL RELEVANCE
I don’t know if you’re like me but I suspect you might be — looking on in abject horror as the entire internet persists in curb-stomping an individual who had the temerity to declare themselves, “the most relevant and impactful music critic of my — and any — generation”. Yeah, I know, more...
-
06/17/26 Show 316 : This One's For Andrea Bargani
in commemoration of the New York Knicks’ stunning dispatch of the San Antonio Spurs last week, I attempted to fashion an infographic for this week’s show that displayed a new JD & The Straight Shot album designed in the style of Kurt Vile’s ‘Philadelphia’s Been Good To Me’ (admittedly, “Being...
-
06/10/26 Show 315 : At The (Not Very Good) Movies
I dunno about YOU LOT but in these troubled, dumber than dumb fuck times I need all the distractions I can get. Preparations for this week's episode were slightly dented by my spending most of the past several days pouring over footage from a pair of 2026 celluloid achievements, to wit…
more -
06/03/26 Show 314 : OR MAYBE JUST CALL IT "P-GRIND"
nary a day passes when I am not filled with INCANDESCENT rage at some influenza-peddler sharing their deep thoughts about some imaginary micro genre or other. Hyper-slop. sketchers-gaze. It’s all too much for any sensible, learned person (or if you prefer, me) to endure. But then it hit me — why...
-
05/27/26 Show 313 : Rather See You Dead (Than Celebrate A 6th Anniversary With Wool On Your Head)
today marks the 6th anniversary of this program’s launch - when it all began in those scary days of 2020, I never would’ve imagined it would turn into the most popular and acclaimed online radio show in the world. As it turns out, nothing of the sort would come to pass, however a lot of other...
-
05/20/26 Show 312 : Jingle Jangle, These Are Provocations 2 Strangle
I’m sure you’ve all read accounts of the diabolical 1-877-Kars-4-Kids commercials being banned from the airwaves in California due to their deceptive nature (ie. you cannot actually swap a kar for a kid, not lawfully anyway) and while this is very good news for the collective sanity of Golden…
more -
05/13/26 Show 311 : TIMBERRR
during storms last week, a huge portion of a neighbor’s even bigger tree came down in my front yard and for several days there was no effort to sort out the damage. Friends suggested I ring 311, which seemed a little presumptuous — for starters, there’s nothing in their background to suggest...
-
05/06/26 Show 310 : What's The Story, They've Totally Fucked Up Corrie
this week’s show tackles one of the more discouraging developments in recent times, mainly the ill-advised decision on the part of “Coronation Street” writers to wrap up 4 (ok, 5 but i really DGAF about Jodie) major storylines simultaneously. I don’t think i am exaggerating when i say this is the...
-
04/29/26 Show 309 : Kataloging Kallax Katastrophes
i did my best to make this week's program special but i must confess, it was very difficult finding the time to select the music and make proper notes now that I have become engulfed in the burgeoning industry that is posting-photos-of-kollapsed-kallax-shelves. You all know how obsessed I am with...
-
04/22/26 Show 308 : It's Still Realicide To Me, Damn It
It's still Realicide To Me, Damn It. Only Death is Realicide. Is it Realicide or Is It Memorex? Is it Realicide or is it Desenex? Anti-Cimex > Anti Fungal. Ludwig van Beethoven > “Beethoven” (1992, dir - Brian Levant) > “Beethoven’s 2nd” (1993, dir - Rod Daniel) > “Beethoven’s 3rd” (2000 dir -...
-
04/15/26 Show 307 : No Taxation Without Defenestration
with tax returns coming due today in the United States, I’m sadly obliged to reflect upon the 2010 flight undertaken by former Billy Eli Band bassist Andrew Joseph Stack III , who crashed his single engine Piper Dakota aircraft into the Austin TX offices of the Internal Revenue Service. Prior to...
-
04/08/26 Show 306 : They Can't All Be Denny McLain At The Organ
this week’s program concerns a matter that has utterly captivated music media the past several weeks, namely the debut album from aspiring cellist / 13 year NBA veteran PG Jason “White Chocolate” Williams. Now, I know what some of you are saying. He’s a total clown. He cannot play the cello for...
-
04/01/26 Show 305 : Nonstop To Nowhere
over the past couple of years I have thoroughly enjoyed my association with East Village Radio, however this glorious run has come to a conclusion as I’ve accepted a very lucrative offer to join the on-air staff at Sirius’ XMU. While I’ll not have nearly the same sort of creative control afforded...
-
03/25/26 Show 304 : Upon Careful Reflection, All Songs Are Equally Great
so I was doing this silly interview with a UK newspaper and they were asking annoying questions like “what’s your favorite karaoke song?” (Paul Anka, “Having My Baby”), and “which song would be played for your torture at Camp X-Ray?” (Paul Anka, “Having My Baby”) and one of the click-baity Q’s…

03/18/26 Show 303 : The Party's Over (But To Be Fair, It Wasn't Much Of A Party)
People sometimes* ask, "how do you kill a golden goose?" Well, if you are the organizers of central texas' annual music/film/tech trade fair, there's more than one way to exterminate your gold-egg laying friend (besides, you know, drowning, strangulation, forgetting to buy goose chow). The…
more -
03/11/26 Show 302 : Also Just Found Out Puddle Of Mudd Are A Different Band
much as i would’ve loved to devote this week’s program to previewing all the hot stuff planned for Planatir’s SXSW showcase (which, unlike Shawn Carpetbagger’s much vaunted INFOWARS showcases, might actually exist) , there’s a slightly more urgent issue weighing upon us. Or me, anyway. While...
-
03/04/26 Show 301 : Blood, Sweat And Undrinkable Beers
aside from the obvious (THIS FIFTH SEASON OF “INDUSTRY” IS TERRIBLE), you have no idea how much self-control was required not to type “it’s like equity punk never happened”. But here we are, I’ve typed it, I’ve got no self control and and if you invested in this dork’s operation, you’ve likely…
more -
02/25/26 Show 300 : In Lieur of Flowers, Please Send Cash
in honor of this program’s 300th episode, several of my devoted listeners pooled together cash from their paper routes and lemonade stands to purchase congratulatory Cameo calls from persons commonly associated with the number 300. Sadly, thespian powerhouse Gerard Butler (fig 1) turned down the...
-
02/18/26 Show 299 : Incapable Of Avoiding Processed Feuds
Needles to say, I'm confused how an accredited fitness maven/administration simp like Triple H got cut out of the intense training session shown above, but OTOH the room doesn't look very big. Maybe your sweat lodge is more spacious, I really don't know. I had a bunch of good stories about…
more -
02/11/26 Show 298 : Space(hog) Is The Place (Where You Need To Be Very Careful)
good morning. I am sure you are all as mortified as I am by news reports of someone claiming to be a former member of Spacehog sending explicit, unsolicited pics of himself to persons who’ve mentioned Spacehog on their timelines. For starters, just because there are very few people who know or…
more -
02/04/26 Show 297 : Welcome To The Complicity Olympics
Last Friday's National Shutdown here in the USA raised a number of question that may or may not be answered in this week's program. For starters, it is a (slight) shame none of the organizers saw fit to credit retired MLB veteran Derek Bell who popularized the phrase "Operation Shutdown" some 24...
-
01/28/26 Show 296 : Garden State Of Mind (Your Own Fucking Business)
with last week’s passing of longtime New Jersey cable fixture Florio Vivino aka Uncle Floyd, there’s been much said about Vivino’s comedic chops, his many celebrity patrons (including but not limited to David Bowie and Howard Stern) and the countless appearances by iconic musicians including but...
-
01/21/26 Show 295 : The Gospel According To John (Zewizz)
while other programs have done a wonderful (well, adequate in some cases) job of memorializing Bob Weir over the past week, I will instead leave you with the following words from Sleep Chamber’s John Zewizz that should really put everything into proper perspective LIFE IZ NEVER FOREVER. DEATH IZ....
-
01/14/26 Show 294 : PREPPING 2027 OSCAR BAIT IN ADVANCE
in recent times, the film world’s powers that be have mercifully decided that biographies chronicling the lives of nobodies like Freddie Mercury, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen are no longer necessary, instead trying to mollify us with the saga of a Neil Diamond tribute act. While I would not...
-
01/07/26 Show 293 : Profuse Apologies (For Things That Are Not My Fault)
for the first (or second?) show of 2026, I regrettably need to preface the program with a couple of apologies. As opposed to the nearly half dozen apologies that proceed most weeks. for starters, I know I’d promised with great fanfare that this week would feature the global streaming premiere of...
-
12/31/25 Show 292 : If Rock Is Dead, How Are Ded Engine Still Alive?
i’ve been told there’s a lengthy essay in today’s NY Times, something along the lines of “Is Rock Dead : Maybe?” I’ve neither the time or inclination to read such a piece, particularly as I’m already aware rock has been on life support for some time and only following Rusted Shut’s January 17 set...
-
12/24/25 Show 291 : Nativity Scene Amended To Reflect Current Events Edition
I’ve been asked once or twice, what, if anything, would i want to do MORE THAN ANYTHING to commemorate my 6100st birthday? I’ll admit, it was a difficult choice. Drive into the Comal Street's White Horse with a bulldozer? Visit the Turner Curling Museum of Weyburn, Saskatchewan? Spend the…

12/17/25 Show 290 : Wicked Screams, Circuits Blow / What The Fuck You Wanted To Know
today’s program, the penultimate episode of 2025, was meant to be a full review and unboxing of the latest reissue of NME’s 1986 classic (?) ‘Unholy Death’ - a 7 LP + blu ray + coffee table book collection. Sadly, I misplaced my half dozen or so box cutters (these are like socks for me except...
-
12/10/25 : Consumer Retorts (Time 4 Grade 2 Make Good)
it’s been several years since I asked you, dear listeners, to join me in mourning for my dearly departed Amaré Stoudemire Skullkandy headphones. To recap, said cans sounded like SHIT, however they were glorious to look it. Sadly, they were also about as durable as their namesake. And with that, I...
-
12/03/25 Show 288 : It's The Thought That Counts (And Perhaps You Should've Thought Of Something Else)
with each holiday season, there’s typically one or two highly coveted items that set up a frenzy amongst consumers, the-must-have-gift-of-the-year, if you will. The Furby. Nintendo Switch. For the well heeled and easily influence by marketing amongst us, perhaps the Peloton. In 2025, however, the...
-
11/26/25 Show 287 : My Doctor Recommended A Sleep Study ; I Told Him I Preferred Om
as a few of you are probably aware, today’s NY Times has an extensive report cataloging recent signs of abject fatigue displayed by the current chief executive. While I am typically not in the habit of defending a charmless, thoroughly corrupt pathological liar and bigot, in fairness, his alleged...
-
11/19/25 Show 286 : HOW MUCH RON ARTEST CAN YOU TAKE?
today’s show marks the 21st anniversary of what came to be known as “Malice At The Palace”, the (in)direct inspiration for Wizznuttz’ amazing reinterpretation of Picasso’s “Guernica”, aka “Aubernica”. For all the seismic changes the incident brought about in spheres of professional sports and…

11/12/25 Show 285 : Definitely, Defiantly Maybe
We live in times of GREAT UNCERTAINTY. Who can say, for instance, if the charade we call democracy will even maintain the pretense for another 12 months? If you’re lucky enough to afford to climb aboard an airplane, what guarantee is there you won’t smash into another? Will anyone, besides the…

11/05/25 Show 284 : My Hot Take Is Let's Abolish All Other Hot Takes
good morning friends, and as deeply encouraged many of us might be following last night’s mayoral election results in New York City, I remain cautiously hopeful that some day in the future there will be a major candidate for high office willing to address the needless, senseless proliferation of...
-
10/29/25 Show 283 : Raising Safety Concerns In The Fear Factory
with all due respect to my many friends and loved ones who deeply enjoy the occasion, this week’s program will not include a Halloween theme, Halloween music or any other sort of pandering, infantile bullshit designed to distract from the ongoing tire fire we’re engulfed in. By all means, have a...
-
10/22/25 Show 282 : Reassessment Of Dennis Hopper's Nike Commercials Delayed Until A Future Episode
to quote Charlotte Caffey and Kathy Valentine, I am certain there are moments “"head over heels, to time to think / Looks like the whole world's out of sync” resonates deeply with each and every one of you. And that’s why I do this program each and every week, to try and help you make sense of…

10/15/25 Show 281 : Take A Bite Out Of Criminally Overpriced Reissues
so none of my so-called friends thought it was worth mentioning that the National Crime Prevention Council’s ill-advised 1988 cassette, ‘McGruff’s Smart Kids Album’ had recently been reissued on multiple formats by some enterprising record label and all available copies are G O N E. On the…

10/08/25 Show 280 : There's No Such Thing As A Bad Bun E., Only The Thoroughly Great Bun E.
if you’re like me (and I suspect a few of you are), you were surprised but hardly outraged at the NFL’s recent announcement that Bun E. Carlos would be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show next February. Granted, a 15 minute drum solo is not everyone’s brand of entertainment (and technically,...

10/01/25 Show 279 : Richer Sounds' Lifetime Warrant Does Not Specify Whose Lifetime
greetings friends, I nearly wasn’t able to complete this week’s episode after being diagnosed with a case of minor men’s whiplash acquired while reading the New York Times’ recent, “Is It OK To Use Your Phone On The Toilet?” article. Weirdly enough, I was not reading said think (?) piece on the...
