Here's an exceptionally good jazz search on the Internet Archive.
https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22NPR%22+marian
Elvis Costello Marian McPartland NPR 2003
Gerry Mulligan Marian McPartland NPR 1987
John Pizzarelli 2001 NPR Piano Jazz M.McPartland
Alicia Keys Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz 2003
And an Easter egg.
Bread & Roses 1978 Joni Mitchell Herbie Hancock
This is why we should fund NPR and libraries.
Did you at my one point wonder, why in 1982 suddenly German songs like Trio's "Da Da Da" or Nenas "99 Luftballons" entered the international charts and - at least Trio - where slightly unusual?
From what scene did they emerge from?!
You may find out during the upcoming
RADIO IRRTUM! Special. About the NDW that wasn't
(on air from Berlin)
Deutsch Version of this announcement here:
- https://mastodon.de/@herr_irrtum/115113645412161528
Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/08/30, 8:00pm UTC+2, Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
Why? What is this?
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language (usually) #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planet's genre spectrum. Don't worry about that German language - it's about the music!
Well about the latter… not this time! Neither will I talk in German the whole time but mostly in English! Because this matter is too important for the World to know (I think). Nor is this new music. But music mostly from 1979-1981, the small time frame before the "real" Neue Deutsche Welle ("NDW") broke all over, the thing the music industry transformed it into (a cash cow), something completely different compared to what its pioneers intended.
This is about those pioneers. Sick of art, or progressive rock, and punk they wanted to do something completely off limits, something completely new, something "Anti music" that still somehow was "music". Just so different. A one in a thousand years moment where people tried to get on a different track. A moment that didn't come back since.
This radio special can only cover the surface of that super diverse scene; a scene agreeing on one thing only: About not doing rock music.
Which will make this special issue maybe the most complicated, hard to get into Radio Irrtum! show ever. But if you make it, you will be rewarded, yes rewarded, with most unusual concepts in music, with humor in music (yes! - not just in text) and all in all something, you may carry with you for your whole life. If you are open to it. I mean it. I certainly did.
So: Can you stand it? Are you up to the task?
One more thing: I've prerecorded this not knowing, that Alfred Hilsberg (Zickzack Label) would leave this planet forever some days later. This show is dedicated to him. Thanks Alfred, for the sonic light you carried.
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)
is there. For you!
↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓
Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will arrive this Saturday, 2025/05/10, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about the German language aspect - it's about the #music!
This time you may experience a pleasantly weird mix of genres, like
- phunky #pop from #Lebanon and Norway
- Ukrain #Dub
- Hefty US #Bass
- New York #breakcore
- #Berlin + #Burlington Elektro #GirlPunk
- #Bonkwave (or maybe not)
- Music based on recordings of giant parking house ventilation systems
- Berlin #ModularSynth music
- Czech #TapeDelay sounds
- #Leipzig #Postpunk
- #Spaghettiwesternmusic
- dreamy London Ebass stuff
I'm glad to report that I've never had soo much #CreativeCommons music in my show – so much I had to create a special jingle 4 it - it will jingle your bells all the time now!! And there is of course a lot of overlab with #FediMusicians: Featured will be:
- @bangskij
- @oleksiy
- @Traiken
- @n3wjack
- @anja
They are all so cool: Check out their profiles and dig their music, you probably wont be disappointed with at least one of them.
The only problem: Me explaining so much about the background of most of the tracks and the fact of having lots of music to play forced me to talk over a lot of tracks. Sorry for that.
Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Yes, the upcoming issue of #RadioIrrtum! will have NOTHING of this and be aired anyway this Saturday, 2024/12/21, 8:00pm UTC+1/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard #music all over the genre spectrum all over the planet. Also it's totally fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the #music!
This time I make your Xmas presents basically wrap themselves in weird ways by just pushing out super evil sonic waves containing
- Hamburger Schule #PostPunk
- Polish #CasioPop
- #Acid
- #GrimeRap
- #DnB of various flavors
- #IDM
- #technicalDeathMetal
- the best #Berlin #Punk I've ever played (!)
- #tapeLoopRomance
Yeah, a bit of an electronic overweight with all the DnB and IDM stuff this time – sorry about that… but this basically is what came across my "desk" this month.
At least there is #CreativeCommons included – coming right of the #acidDecember24 happening pulled of by the mighty #Basspistol crew (still running, you may still submit your selfmade tracks - I know, I will) and there is, lemme repeat that, really really well done Berlin punk in here.
If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Right now you may be like "what a calm and peaceful timeline this is"… but NO, BANG! here comes another one of those lengthy and disruptive…
RADiO IRRTUM!
…announcements. And I'm not even sorry — damn me!
↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓
Yes, yes, #RadioIrrtum! is knocking at your radio frame, specifically at Saturday, 2024-08-31 at 8:00PM (UTC+2) at Alex Berlin/FM 91 MHz/DAB+ Ch.7D, or via stream: https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio/15-live-auf-91.0
Why? What?! #Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastnesses of the #underground. But wait… in German?! Well - forget about that German language aspect - it's all about the music!
»But it's exactly at the time when me and my family are peeling potatoes for dinner!« you say? Perfect! Because this time we are dealing with
Peel Sessions
only. If you really have no idea about Peel sessions — it will be explained ;).
Anyhow; that means we have a special with the following acts:
- Foyer des Arts
- Tarwater
- The Future Sound of London
- The Human League
- Einstürzende Neubauten
- Malaria
- Chicks on Speed
- PIL
- Bauhaus
- The Fall
- Broadcast
- Nico
That's 50% of German acts — hope that won't spoil the phun too much ;) - and we'll cover no less than 32 years of #PeelSessions.
And there are 2 apologies: I will mention Mania D at one point but I will pronounce their name completely wrong because all the years I was reading & therefore saying "Manina D". Realized it far too late, the show is uploaded already… nothing I can do now. I feel ashamed!
Also 1 hour is by faaaar too short for this topic, I had to cut down too much for this show; don't recommend anyone trying that. 2 hours should be minimum by law when covering this topic. Yes, I'm a criminal.
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Oh nein, da kommt es, das Zeychenlimit, daher nur ganz kurz auf deutsch:
Radio Irrtum! kommt. Diesen Samstag, 20 Uhr über Alex Berlin auf UKW 91MHz/DAB+ K.7D (Stream URL oben).
Da ist keine Zeit mehr fürs Kartoffelschälen, denn diesmal gibz echte Peel Sessions (Special!) — nämlich mit:
- Foyer des Arts
- Tarwater
- The Future Sound of London
- The Human League
- Einstürzende Neubauten
- Malaria
- Chicks on Speed
- PIL
- Bauhaus
- The Fall
- Broadcast
- Nico
50% Anteil Produktionen aus hiesigen Landen, 32 Jahre Peel werden umfasst. Außerdem spreche ich "Mania D" komplett falsch aus (sorry!) und hätte niemals versuchen sollen, "alles über Peel Sessions" in 1h zu quetschen. Hab ich aber. Schlecht.
