As much as I like covering the whole spectrum of strange music, from experimental composers to thrift-store records, I am pleased that this year has begun with a bumper crop of outsider musicians: Bernie Sizzey , the return of John North Wright , all thanks to good Maniacs working to bring these musicians to the public eye and providing us wiht their fascinating back-stories. And now, thanks to Rich from the great Kill Ugly Radio show up in Portland, the master of the Electric Jews Harp, Bruce Hodges. Rich sez: [...]
Amy Beth is an Elvis impersonator who sounds NOTHING like Elvis. She does, however, make a great cat-being-run-over-by-a-steamr oller impersonator. And if she does indeed have her own band, they do a great impression themselves - of cheezy drum-machine karaoke backing tracks. "Heartbreak Hotel" like you've never heard it before. You've been warned: My ears, my ears! Hey you masochists, you can buy a whole album of this stuff, y'know. What, you want more?!? Here's a dog of a "Hound Dog," complete with canine [...]
As I wrote back in '06 : In 1995, The Phoeniz (AZ) New Times received a demo tape from one John North Wright . The tape began with the growly voice of a middle-to-senior aged man announcing, ""Hi, I'm John Wright. Uh . . . all these songs are copyrighted 1985, words and music by myself. Uh, conceptually, they form the songs for a, uh, rock video opera I have written in my mind. It's set mostly in Hawaii and the Orient. It's called Teenage Volleyballers." [...]
Hyperscore is software originally intended by its creators at MIT's Media Lab as a toy for children - they would draw and paint on the monitor and music would result.

Had a request from a reader in Morocco (!) for a few albums originally hosted by the late, great site Bellybongo. Tho I don't have albums by Lynn Rockwell or The Trilogy (anyone?), I am glad I had this little wonder. Deb Hyer played ramshackle one-man-band versions of late '60s/'70s easy-listening hits on garage-y guitar, sleazy electric organ, and one-note duck-quack sax. And then there's his singing - he may have been from Kentucky, but his sense of pitch was all over the map. Actually, t [...]
Already having supported the likes of Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Grimes, Outside aka Christian from NYC has an interesting sound, indeed with similarity to the last-mentioned acts, however heavily inspired by Scandinavian (ehrm, Swedish ) pop. CEO might be a keyword here, or even Jonathan Johansson , but more psychedelically leaning; infusing his lush pop melodies with strange synth riffs and beats that will remind you of coconuts and Hawaiian horizons. Pay what you want via bandcamp . Outside - Icaro
The Lyres feat. Wally Tax : Touch [ purchase original version ] Jeff 'Monoman' Conolly was a huge fan of so-called nederbiet , mid-sixties pop from Holland, and of wild Amsterdam cultband the Outsiders in particular. So when he was invited to play a session for VPRO radio in 1987 with his garage band the Lyres and was informed that übercool former Outsiders frontman Wally Tax would drop by as well, Conolly [...]
Today's post is a big one, but this is a big discovery: a prolific outsider artists' complete works now available for free download. Meet Bernie Sizzey (aka Bernie aka Solitaire): mental patient, transvestite, drug user, coprophiliac, and, more importantly, singer/guitarist/keyboardist/ lo-fi home recorder and songwriter for 30 years now of everything from instrumental ambient space-rock, to unrepentant lysergic trip-outs, to confessional ballads detailing his life in catchy, upbeat songs that are never feeling sorry for themselves. He hasn't been dealt the best hand in life, but you won't hear him complain. (Well, unless maybe he runs out [...]
Kevin Abstract and EaSy just dropped this short film in prep for their up coming album Instead of Dreaming .
Nova Scotia singer/songwriter Rose Cousins returns with her third album We Have Made A Spark (February 28, Outside), the successor to her exquisite 2009 release The Send Off . Named Contemporary Singer of the Year at the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Cousins delivers beautifully crafted songs of depth and intelligence in a voice of crystalline purity, even as the weighty subject matter -- notably on new lead track "The Darkness" -- digs into stark, shadowy emotional recesses. "It takes a deep breath and a bucket of courage to face the [...]

Music For ManiacsI received an interesting comment on the John North Wright post, and, as it is not the first such comment we've received here, I thought I'd not just let it hide as a post comment, but turn it into a post of it's own, as I believe the commenter probably speaks for many, and I'm sure some of you would like to chime in as well. radioman said: "I can see the appeal of this kind of stuff, yet, at the same time, it feels almost as if one is back in the 1700s, laughing [...]
