Bizarre-ass shit!

Hello and welcome to my new music-share page.

For years I've been making mix-tapes (eventually CDs) for myself and friends. I figured I'd post some of these since folks seem to like 'em and they sometimes feature obscure stuff that'll be difficult to find elsewhere. As you'll see, I listen to a lot of outsider/idiot/naive-artist-type stuff, "incredibly strange" music, songs poems, home-taping, space-age pop / exotica / lounge, avant-garde / experimental, sci-fi soundtracks, select novelty tunes, etc. For the most part it'll be out-of-print music from my record collection or stuff I got from friends, films, and/or downloaded from other cats' music-share blogs (hopefully not a major faux-pas). I'm sure plenty of folks will find the seeminly-random combination of these different genres of music jarring or irritating but it all makes some kind of sense to me. I guess these will appeal to music nerds who also have short attention spans.

This mix is one of the first I made from the late 90's when I stopped making tapes and started to make CDs. It's a bit crude but it has some interesting stuff. Besides some typical "outsider" / underground music, it features some tracks from the Marx Brothers (four from their films, one from a radio show). It also features some really bizarre music and dialogue from an insane anti-drug "educational" film dating from the late sixties. I hope somebody out there will enjoy it.
