Again and Again

Plenty of people got #talent​ but what do you do? Stood at the top of the road in my town and solved the #failure​.

And felt the failure road in my shoes and followed the failures down here til tonight, where I'll fail before you.

And the big difference is: we're in an Age of #Extinction​. And it's okay if you're a mawkish dupe walking around playing songs from forty years ago. What's even worse is if you're as old as me;

nobody wants to hear a

version of Bob Seger, not even people of your own age. So I'll make a very

public plea never to play a

cover song again, unless you ask me, or unless you say you want to hear them. Then I'll let you hear it.

I'll play a dopey version

of a Motorhead song

that pleases no one:

not fans of  Motorhead, not fans of #acousticsongs​. It's just, again and again, keep coming back to my #guitar​,

can't quit it yet.

It's just an

advertisement

for self.

Ciao a tutti,

Volevo condividere con voi la storia dietro uno dei nastri più fragili e surreali della storia della musica outsider: Hi, How Are You? di Daniel Johnston.

Ditemi cosa ne pensate

Grazie a tutti

It's been a long time since V/Vm completely threw me into that wonderfully wrongful world. I keep crossing the desert to fulfil my own, and sadly, haven't obtained any opportunities to seek a musician I would find weirder to the place yet, therefore I'm curious about if there's any plunderphonics musicians, most likely to be referred to as an outsider.

You might say there's no outsiders in such genres where people are just playing house with butchered messy samples, but I'd appreciate if you compromise on that! Just let me hear your opinion!!

I've been listening to Adam Borsage lately and I'm looking for more stuff with a similar vibe.

It's kinda hard to explain lol. Weird/unusual instruments, eerie melodies, kinda homemade/DIY sounding, but still really beautiful and musical.

I'm not necessarily looking for "bad" music or super abstract noise, just that weird outsider feeling where you can tell the person is doing their own thing.

Any recommendations?

Abner Jay, Hard Working Man. The whole album is great

Quint Baker or Alien Pop Band

Hello, everyone.

For more than 20 years, the lostwave song "Curly Toes" has been researched, theorized upon, and suspected about. One of the most famous lostwave tracks in the world.

I have finally found, who I THINK is the one responsible behind this tape. With everything I've researched

Nell Hampton

Nell was a blind ballad singer from Salyersville, Kentucky, who was originally recorded by Alan and Elizabeth Lomax in 1937. Her voice was first featured in the opening of Joan Osbourne's song "One Of Us".

She would later continue singing through the 30s, 40s, 50, and so on. Mostly traditional ballads such as "The Aeroplane Ride", "Railroad Boy", and "I Once Was A Rich And Gambling Boy". And sung about 17 tracks during her sessions with the Lomaxes.

Within the song however, she explicitly mentions "Ben" as if he were some sort of diety, and praises him repeatedly, and after some genealogical research here is what I discovered :

- A "Benjamin (Ben) Hampton" passed away in 1959, he was in fact married to Nell.

- Nell herself passed away in the early 80s, only a few years before the tape received any sort of coverage or recognition within the Outsider music community.

- The voice on both tracks sound nearly identical, both have that southern Kentucky warble

- They reportedly had a son, named Benjamin Hampton Jr.

I believe this song is kind of a giant breakdown. In the song, she uses heavily sexualized imagery to create a description of what she remembers.

Which could also mean that she went blind instead of being born blind. If she's reconstructing memories of stripteasing for her husband through the descriptions she mentions in the song.

And, of course. For all of you doubters, blind people had significant access to audio cassette recorders.

In 1971, the library of Congress distributed two specially produced cassette machine models for blind and physically disabled people.

Also, the tape being put into circulation after she passed away makes me think that the theories about the tape being found at a sale are correct.

This is the evidence I present to you all, if you have any other theories. Please let me know. But I think I got it down.

Stumbled across this dude and this album recently. Apparently the artist is a a son of a semi-known schlager singer from the 80s, now a sixty-plus geezer living in a small village in Finland and records his stuff with his phone mic while his wife is watching tv downstairs or gardening outside.

The label promotes the album as "Outsider Vaporwave" which I find actually rather accurate. Stuff sounds like a 35-min shopping tv or telenovela-soundtrack but is simultaneously weirdly goth. Solid 4/5 shit.

Recently I was listening to Songs In the Key of Z, Volume 3 and a particular track caught my eye -

"Wake Up America" by Sylvia Boshers, particularly because of the voice. I couldn't tell if it was a prepubescent teenage girl or a really weird sounding adult.

I did some research, and I was only able to find a few things. Irwin Chusid himself described her as sounding like a "precocious pre-teen" and noted that her voice was extremely untrained.

The only other thing I was able to find regarding this girl, was a poem written shortly after this track was recorded titled "I Care About Detroit" though, it's not specified whether she wrote it.

It was recorded at Northwestern Incorporated (NWI) in Portland, Oregon. This was a "vanity studio" where anyone could pay to press a record, maybe just a few copies to hand out. And was later featured on WFMU.

I figured here would be the place to ask, I'm really trying to find some information about this girl. More so just trying to find out if she's a child or an adult.

Erin Smogor is a woman from Pittsburgh who somehow managed to release three entire albums in 2005: Erin Smogor Hates Mike Macharayas, Erin Smogor Goes to Jail, and Erin Smogor Goes to Camp. They sound like they were recorded on a boombox with a few bizarre samples, and her poetry speak/sung over it. The lyrics come off as something you find written in a spiral bound notebook found at a crime scene, or behind a bar.

Let's look at some song titles from Goes to Jail…

Dr. Phil vs. Erin Smogor The Prison Diaries Judge Guy C. Guckenberger Geof the Irate Space Age Cunt XZ14 Come Back to Erin

And some song titles from Goes to Camp…

Andy Wiggins Justin Rivers Not in Lakes You are SO Fuckin' Hot (for Pat O'Brien) The Very Fat Man That Waters the Workers' Beer

They sound like the vocals are recorded on an answering machine. And then tracked over the most random music from instructional videos or training cassettes for 80's fast food restaurants. The lyrics consist of Erin Smogor being bitter and angry about her friends, and being arrested in Cincinnati for drunk driving. She likes guns.

The album was produced by "NNMADDOX", who, for some reason, I think is the DJ that achieved some notoriety as "Girl Talk." But I am probably wrong about that.

I've had these files for a couple of years but recently re-discovered them, I wanted to make them public because personally, I think Taylor Ross is one of the greatest and most overlooked artists of my generation.

Before forming Surface to Air Missive and recording for Leaving Records, multi-instrumentalist Taylor Ross operated a ton of hyper-obscure bedroom projects in the late-2000s Tallahassee, Florida DIY scene.

This is the complete, self-titled 2008 debut album from his project "America del Sur." It's incredibly raw, quirky, and brilliant. Around 5 years ago I managed to recover the original files from dead Blogspot links and put the full album together on YouTube for preservation.

Hope you guys love it as much as I do!

Interesting fella. I've been listening to him for a while, feel like this track might be interesting to others

https://mattaddis.bandcamp.com
anyone heard of him? Over 200 albums. You’d think be a little more known. I can’t find hardly anything on this guy aside from his facebook and bandcamp

Estou produzindo música para mim mesmo há alguns anos, sempre tive vergonha de mostrar o "barulho" que faço porque não tenho as habilidades para produzir algo profissional. Recentemente descobri a "Música Outsider" e agora finalmente posso mostrar um pouco do que minha mente criou nesses últimos anos sem me sentir envergonhado.Where do you usually post your music?

Hi guys long time in the making this one but it's finally out!

I'm older, self-taught, and mentally odd. The possibility of being labeled as an outsider musician terrifies me. So far, I've been able to be seen as a normal musician, possibly because I stick with instrumentals.
