Music

With DJ Mackerel

music to match the astrological events of the week, more or less. sometimes more, sometimes less.

usually of the weird electronica, lush jazz, girlpower r&b, alternative hiphop, chronically online hyperpop, and alt-country indie folk persuasions. and classical if it's a full moon and i'm feeling dramatic. thanks for swimmin with me!


mars in capricorn

do fish swim in snow? do they participate in snowball fights? do the bubbles of their breath float through the cracking ice?

spinning indie rock, electroacoustic, instrumentals, electronica

I thought we were still in Sagittarius. The Phoenix Fire-bird burned to the ground on Saturday.
DJ Mackerel (host) 3:17:07 PM
yess the sun is still in sag :) i was referring to mars moving into cap
Lester Wiggs 3:23:05 PM
Mars is our slower moving older sibling? 12-15. 12 = 3, 15 = 6 We got Nines.

hey tim:) hot yoga sounds nice on a day like this
Lester Wiggs 3:34:26 PM
Casting out nines. This is because "nine" can be mistaken for the German word "nein," meaning "no," and for "five," which could be misheard as "fire," a command to shoot.
Lester Wiggs 3:34:59 PM
ok just joking around here.
Lester Wiggs 3:35:20 PM
Although... otoh, Sag
DJ Mackerel (host) 3:51:52 PM
ahahaha the command to shoot would kinda go along with the sagittarian bow and arrow tho :0

Mars Transit into Capricorn – December 15, 2025 Mars entered Capricorn on December 15, 2025, marking the beginning of a powerful astrological transit that will last until January 24, 2026. This period is considered highly significant because Mars is exalted in Capricorn, meaning it operates at peak strength, blending fiery drive with earthy discipline.
tim freund 3:55:52 PM
Yeah no doubt
tim freund 3:56:04 PM
Every week bangin as far
tim freund 3:56:30 PM
I’m a Gemini so I love your all over the place also
Lester Wiggs 3:57:56 PM
ok. the issue is that Mars is still separating from a square with Neptune, which is a demoralizing vibe.
DJ Mackerel (host) 4:06:38 PM
true, it's a bit tricky
Lester Wiggs 4:09:16 PM
Tru. I had to text my informant, and dyed in the cotton Star Gazer. That was her take. Not that I have ever made any money, but no way I would ever trade financial markets without a look up at the heavens.

sup jd mackerel!
DJ Mackerel (host) 4:36:52 PM
hey mike!
Lester Wiggs 4:38:23 PM
lol Jax. That music was trans formative in its day. It was that sharp when without warning we went from 4/4 to 2/2 CUT TIME! Like a Sousa March. I was a member of a big brass band, playing the Sousaphone in basement in Fishtown. His Dada got drunk and wrapped the French horn around his neck, but later that morning at the police station he was repentant.
michael gudgeon 4:39:03 PM
whoa jd ! dj ! just got here unfort ! hope all is well mack, was peeping old shows and got reminded of " holy mackerel
DJ Mackerel (host) 4:40:05 PM
all good:) aw yeah i kinda miss doing the holy mack segment every week, maybe i should bring it back
G Jax 4:44:45 PM
Was the Sousaphone named after John Philips Sousa. I assume that's a yes but I never thought of it before. Would be funny if it was named after like Ted Sousa or something and it was just a coincidence
G Jax 4:46:40 PM
Haha
G Jax 4:47:08 PM
Ted Sousa. I just cracked myself up, but don't mind me. I'm just a Gemini that shit happens.
Lester Wiggs 4:47:53 PM
Sorry you missed the USA in 'trans' formative. Stay tuned in. /
Lester Wiggs 4:50:50 PM
Let me apologize for everything I may have said in the past or may say in the future. I want to be clear about this. Sunny skies make me happy. Starry skies? Good too. Could skies be bright in all the 5 continents. I suppose.
michael gudgeon 4:54:41 PM
should be here for the lady love cover! and that possibly gets a rebroadcast revisit at some point next week !
DJ Mackerel (host) 4:55:47 PM
:)
Lester Wiggs 4:57:13 PM
Just reminded me of the great AAron Copeland piece, Fanfare for the Common man. Great rendition by ELP/ Playing in an empty stadium.
