EarWax: An Amoeba Podcast
EarWax is a deep-dive music podcast hosted by two longtime record store clerks, Hilary and Cody, who are steeped in music history.
Each week, we unpack the story of a single album - how it was made, where it fits in the cultural moment that shaped it, and why it still matters. From iconic classics to cult gems, we explore the music that moves us and the stories that stick.
You’ll also hear about the latest releases and what’s buzzing in our world of vinyl bins and liner notes. Think of it like your favorite record store hang, just in podcast form.
EarWax is for anyone who loves music with context, history, and heart.
EarWax: An Amoeba Podcast
Ep. 76: Parliament - Mothership Connection
Well alright, welcome to Groove U. This week's lesson is brought to you by the EarWax crew!
Parliament's "Mothership Connection" is far out, in your face, uncut, from outer space, in the groove, and it'll make you move. With a cast of characters and lore galore, this record has cool to spare.
George Clinton and Bootsy Collins are the most well-known of the P-Funk collective, and while their hands are absolutely all over this record, it is quite obviously a group effort.
So let the funk wash over you, and climb aboard the Mothership!
