Kurt Weisman - More Is More EP

I'm behind a couple days in blogging. With blogger being down for an ENTIRE day, and my Isaac Hayes post getting deleted, I took a two day break. In the mean time I picked up my last tote of 45's which I stacked into four nice and neat piles on my new record shelf I got at Ikea, and now I begin the last of the single transfers before moving on to the LP's. So, to begin, I thought I'd start with my most recent acquisition... I found this yesterday in the Amoeba clearance bin. I've never heard of Kurt Weisman, but I'd recognize that art ANYWHERE!
A few years ago, my wife got me into this collaborative effort art group known as Paper Rad. Their DVD "Trash Talking" opened up a new world for me. A world of low-fi animated gifs, 80's pop art icons, and super groovy MIDI beats. They have a television show now on Adult Swim entitled "Problem Solverz" I suggest you check it out... if you're into Super Mario, Gumbi, Troll Dolls, Garfield and Alf this is the show for you!
As for this record, the best way to describe it is poppy electronic folk experimentation. It's noise bubble gum. And it's growing on me... as it will grow on you too.

Roger Miller - Pure

Been a rough week internet-wise, which has left me with a week connection, thus... I've been unable to post any new albums, so I'll just post some quickies... not much detailed information, just straight downloads from my remaining requests....

My friend Chesley requested some Roger Miller, so here is a 12 track greatest hits compilation. Not any obscurities here... which is a shame, but it does have a good mixture of his novelty songs and country ballads which show off his knack for songwriting. I wish there was his version of Little Green Apples on this comp, which I consider the best version of the song. Also, no music from the Disney film Robin Hood, which Roger Miller plays the minstrel rooster in. So, if anyone has these... send 'em my way!
