This index provides you with access to an array of pages featuring mp3 music for you to listen to and read about. Added this time is a page celebrating the music of the 70's. That Seventies' Track starts off this month with one-hit wonder, Sailcat. The main jukebox, Twelve Little Bunnies, presents a variety of unusual music that is in constant rotation around my house, in my truck and in my office. Other Jukebox pages inlcude one featured track each with each update. The 45 RPM page highlights a lost 45 just aching to be rediscovered. Disco Sucks! highlights a disco tune from the pre-techno golden era: the 70's. Big Ten Inch gives you a 78 RPM record culled from the vault, in all its glorious surface noise. Doo Wop selects a sweet doo wop song, almost always presented in its original, very collectible format. Incredibly Strange Music is exactly what you might think: unusual songs, novelties, and just plain weirdness. The Threshold category features songs that changed the world, forever -- or so we thought. We stood at the turning point... The DOKUMENT documents various forms of musical insanity hidden in the woodwork. The The Moonlight Lounge will make you thirst for exotic cocktails and boomerang coffee tables, while the Bitch Goddess track will have you smoking and crying over him/her/both. The PKG category focuses on musicians who believed that elaborate and beautiful packaging was equally important as their sound. While Cassettera focuses on musicians who made use of the grass-roots independent cassette network during the 1980s and 90s. Modern Method presents a selection of twentieth centiry composer music - stochastically selected, of course. Jazz (For People Who Hate Jazz) is a track culled more than likely from varuious dollar-bins around the city. OK, so maybe it isn't jazz... Speak clebrates the spoken word, as committed to vinyl. Words of wisdom from in the unlikeliest of places. Finally, the Current Homepage Theme category provides access to information about the theme music you hear on my homepage. The much-misunderstood 10-inch vinyl record has its own category. Is it an LP? or a Single? Whatever, it's a personal favorite of mine, because no one knows exactly what to make of them. Somewhat of a novelty, they catch the eye in record shops because of their unique display challenge; not since the 78 RPM record was in wide distribution have there been any retail shelving designed to display these items. The Compilation Track category selects a track from oneof the compilations I happen to belistening to at the moment. Compilations almost always get trashed in the press because they generally present such a wide array of music that no single reviewer likes more than a fraction of what is presented. I like these compilations precisely for that reason. This catoegory will only feature compilations with exclusive material. No anthologies or reissue collections will be presented.
Not to be missed, A Bitter Suite presents an introduction to the Diva cateogory with 21 of Paul's lassic diva records. Finally, commemmorating the 25th Anniversary of 4AD Records, the 8 Hogarth Road family of pages presents music, history and links for the famous label.
