Moody mid-90's hip-hop instrumentals. I had this dubbed on cassette back in high school. It was put on as the B-side to the first Dr. Octagon record. Totally wore out the tape from playing it so much.
I am basically an acolyte for the music of Portland, OR's Aidan Coughlan. His surrealist folk ballads are easily some of the best songs being written today. His most recent collection was recorded in '08 on reel to reel by The Graves' Greg Olin.
Dion McGregor was the world's most notorious sleep-talker. Recorded here are some of the craziest, creepiest dreams imaginable. Some folks like to hate on this guy because they think its all faked. If that were true, I honestly believe I'd be even more impressed. Incredible....FYI, Tzadik's Dion McGregor Dreams Again is another excellent collection of his stuff.
Found this excellent merengue album from Joseito Mateo somewhere random. Went looking for more info, and saw that Global Groove had posted it some time ago. No matter--that blog is huge, and this album is worth a re-up right here .

Found this Turkish 45 by Yaşar Erdem in a Virginia thrift store, years ago. Not sure when it was originally released. I can tell you that Kişlada Bahar means Spring in the Barracks, and that "ibibikler" is the Turkish word for the hoopoe bird. According to Google, Çile Bende Dert Bende translates roughly to I Was Annoyed I Worry. Label Info: Palandöken Plak 761 (Side A: TT-159, Side B: TT-160). Enjoy.
Owl just totally beat me to the punch in posting some classic MRP. Growing up not far from Richmond, VA, these guys were the seminal punk-absurdists of my high school years. Wish I had a scan of the back cover- Helpfully, they listed these 60 songs in alphabetical, rather than numerical, order.

Hailing from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, the Blind Slye twins moved often, also living in Riverdale, Maryland, and Purcellville Virginia. Their father, a minister, had his church in Purcellville. They often toured on the road , singing at churches, camp meetings, and other social events where their father preached. They recorded a few LPs in the 1960s and 1970s,- often accompanied by the Goss Brothers, including "Its Me Again Lord" and "No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus". They have been blind since birth and our lovingly referred to as "Beep and Bop". They currently reside not far from Harrisonburg, VA and continue to perform at family affairs. Their nephew, Billy Brett*, plays in the popular Harrisonburg duo, "Buck Gooter".
"For several years, my brothers and I furnished background music and vocals for quite a number of groups. It 's hard to remember everyone, but one group I will never forget is the Sly Sisters. Their harmonies were incredible and their personalities were of such that you felt as if you had known them all your life. My brothers and all agreed that they were one of those groups you will never forget. I was thrilled to hear, after all these years that they are still singing. I wish them the best and may God continue to bless them with more beautiful harmonies."
