Comment:

Some of the whacky things in the record collection. Some thrift store/yard sale finds. The joy is questioning why some of the things were recorded, are they serious, humorous, or just plain odd? Sheer genius in many cases, such as drag queens doing Pink Floyd (puts a whole new twist on the tune) or unintentional like Bebe Buell doing the Iggy tune(perhaps it was intentional,hmmm). You discover things like the Care Bears are really Flo and Eddie and NRBQ and that Cookie Monster does the theme from Shaft with a twist. Even more amazing is Eddie Higgins was part of the Electronic Concept Orchestra on the album Moog Groove(Chicago Jazz hope plays the moog??). My records and me have a bond. Upon listening to this mix it is sort of like a John Waters flick, so says my wife.

Oh man, this is perfect. I was thinking of doing a "Journey to the bottom of the $1 bin" mix... guess you beat me to the punch.

Man, this mix sucks! And I mean that in the best way. Sometimes it's not "why was this recorded?" as much as "why would anyone think somebody would want to hear this?". Lucia Pamela makes my son scream "Turn this off!" & it's supposed to be a kid's record. I've always wanted to live my life like a Jihn Water's flick. I sense a trade in our future.

I passed on the opportunity to buy an album similar to the Marcy one last year. I've been kicking myself for it ever since. Gospel songs sung by ventriloquist dummies...i love it.
