Exploring the musical liminal space between pigs and shit
The Jackass-Penguin Show created the certified bangers YOU (STILL) SMELL LIKE POO and PIG RAIN IN THE DESERT (Свиной дождь в пустыне). Listen and dance to the two tracks on your fav music streamery. Many of the Jackass-Penguin Show’s instrumental tunes combine succinct quirky jazziness, catchy melodies, inventive harmonic ideas, with elements of misanthropic easy-listening, zoological funk, and pesky '80s tv themes. @jackasspenguinshow on TikTok, jackasspenguinshow on YouTube
The Jackass-Penguin Show's Jazzy Selection podcast featured mostly instrumental tracks by independent artists - a carefully curated jazzy, fusiony and bass friendly celebration of often lesser known talent. The weekly half-hour show ran from October 2011 to August 2013. Its entire archive of more than 100 episodes is now free to download. Originally launched in Limerick, Ireland.

The original episode was posted in April 2012.
Nashville-based composer and guitarist Tory Slusher presents a small sample from her rich and extensive repertoire of jazz / fusion/art-rock /classical /electronic compositions, including the tracks Everybody Wants to Escape from New York, Naked Doughnut and Fine China.
