Bye Bye Birdie - 1995

Jason Alexander and Vanessa Williams star in this effort which is faithful to the original Broadway show.

Incorrect Music - 2000

Music expert, author, and WFMU DJ Irwin Chusid sifted a lot of music to find what he describes as Incorrect or Outsider Music.  He wrote a great book about this which you can find on Amazon.  He also did a WFMU show called Incorrect Music with the clever and quick Michelle Boule' for some years.  Many of these early shows are gone from WFMU's online archive which will not do. Here are the 18 earliest shows in my collection. Here are 3 CD's worth divided into 6 downloads. Links in comments.

The Big Bad Boss Beat Of The Wedge - 1980

Rhino Records brought us this EP which included remakes of Penetration and Mr. Moto, as well as three brand new tunes.  Fun.

Psychologically Ultimate Seashore - 1987

Some very large claims are made concerning this Compact Disc.  Please let us know if any of them turn out to be true.  Link in comments.

The Dirt Surfers - Trailer Park Kids - 2000

This charming early effort from the Surfers was brought to us by MP3.com.  Link in comments.  

The Annoying Music Show CD

This Public Radio show had a playlist very like WFMU's Incorect Music. Enclosed please find 21 very earnest efforts in high quality audio.

Euro Dance Hits - 1994

Of special interest here is the very fine Rhythm Is A Dancer by Snap and also What Is Love by Haddaway which was used often on Saturday Night Live.  Perhaps you remember More And More by the Captain Hollywood Project?  Link in comments.

Lost Legends Of Surf Guitar II

Twenty tracks by the Tornadoes, The Rhythm Rockers, The Del-Vetts, The Catalinas, The Surfaris, The Trashmen, Jery Cole & His Spacemen,  and more.  Link in comments.

The Lathe Of Heaven - 1980

This was the first movie produced by American Public Television.  I loved the movie when it aired in 1980 and wanted to see it again. But it did not air and was not available for sale!  In 1987 I found a web page from a person who was willing to provide VHS copies to the faithful  and got one.  The movie went into print 13 years later and I bought the DVD.  It has gone out of print since and will probably stay that way.  Learn more about the movie here. You could download a 329MB version of the movie from YouTube but I think you will prefer the quality of this 1.58GB file instead. I blame an old version of Filzip for my problem earlier with the downloadable. Link in comments.

F/X - EST - 1986

Here is the video with included outtakes.  They all break the 4th wall I think.  

Cowabunga! The Surf Box - Disc 3

One more after this. Link in comments.

Cowabunga! The Surf Box - Disc 2

1963 was the big year for Surf music.  Link in comments.

Cowabunga! The Surf Box - 1996 - Disc 1

The first two discs are full of early gems; the third disc covers the decline of surf music in the late sixties, and the final disc gives us a survey of modern surf-revival music. I heart Rhino Records but this box is out-of-print and will probably stay that way. Link in comments.

George Van Eps' Seven-String Guitar - 1967

That extra guitar-string makes a difference. Apparently this album was distributed to radio stations such as Iowa Public Radio but no records were then pressed for public sale. The album doesn't exist on Wikipedia. Link in comments.

Kitty is a very BAD Mystic

Well, the video has been taken down, again, by one William Moore, who claims to own the video. I will not post the video to YouTube again as it will only be taken down again. Oh well. You may be able to find it elsewhere or on YouTube someday.

Air Supply - Lost In Love - 1980

Press PLAY if you are 50+, female, and speak English. Sigh......
