559A Weirdos Having Fun

Yeah, Wonderful Weirdo's day is still a few weeks away, so I'm getting these next few mixes out in your hands so you are well prepared.

Maybe it was all those years listening to Vicki Bennett's "Do or DIY" radio show on WFMU.  Maybe its my disdain for pop music.  Bottom line, I love weird things.  The next several playlists highlight some oddball music that usually defies categorization.   This is the stuff I listen to when no one else is around.

557 Covers

A fun set of cover songs that I'd been enjoying lately.  Was a good trip down memory lane hearing these again as I've had most in my collection for quite a while.  The image here is a quilt, which I have an appreciation for the effort and craftsmanship put into them after spending a lot of time talking with the artists at the recent 4-H exhibit at our county fair.  Side note, my daughter took 1st place in her category at the fair and is now headed to the state fair later this month, exciting times for the Mooz household.

556 Snippits mix 3: the bits between the bits

Here it is, volume 3 of my snippit mixes.  Collecting short tracks (generally 1 minute or less) from albums when I was compiling other mixes and dumped them in a folder to be sorted later.  96 tracks took quite an effort to sort and arrange into somewhat of a musical narrative.  Quirky humor, blasts of cacophony, at times peaceful, and some almost resembling songs.  Vol 1 and Vol 2 still available.

On a different subject that I am passionate about, please consider donating to keep what we love alive.
