It's just a fun site of oddball songs and covers. I'm sure you have favorites that way, too?

(70,088 posts)called 'the annoying music show'. it was really just a break for the funding credits, but a guy who did another show on the station started doing a minute or 2 of really ridiculous recordings.
it became a thing, started running for the full 3 minutes or whatever.
omg did the man have a crazy collection.
it was so funny, but sometimes it bit you in the ear.
several great william shatner recordings, and at least one leonard nimoy. most by people you never heard of, and those kind of crazy cross cultural covers that made you go did they listen to this before they pressed it?
vaguely remember some 60's psychedelic song done on the bells by some germans.
just nutso stuff.
frankly, i loved it. even tho it made you go ow, ow, make it stop.

Instead, some years ago there was this mp3 project called "The 365 Days Project" to give everyone one obscure mp3 song (or spoken word cut) every day for a year. It was so popular that another one was done a few years later. Here's the page with both sets, and it's worth perusing
Hello!
365 days of cool and strange and often obscure audio selections.
Some words to describe the material featured would be... Celebrity, Children, Demonstration, Indigenous, Industrial, Outsider, Song-Poem, Spoken, Ventriloquism, and on and on and on. The best thing to do is to simply listen.
Unlike a blog/journal/website consisting of one or a small group of contributors, 365 Days has over 200 people sharing from their stash of aural treasures.
This site is mirrored at WFMU and we thank you for downloading, listening and sharing with others this material.
Yours,
The 365 Days Project
