Weirdsville.com - The Out Sound From Way In

WEIRDSVILLE.com presents a mind-bending selection of swankadelic sounds from the hidden caverns of the underground. Our vinyl archeologists have travelled deep into the sonic jungles to excavate a tantalizing mix of strange and obscure music.

Weirdsville.com celebrates its 7-Year Anniversary by going back to its roots with a special two-part podcast of the Weirdsville! mixtape from 1993. Compiled by Head Honcho Erik Amlee, this cassette was the Ur-Text and inspiration for the format and focus of our first web radio stream, bringing together greasy rock'n'roll instrumentals, bad psychedelia, incredibly strange, thrift store, and rockin exotica.

Weirdsville's new Featured feature features our favorite tales to astonish, those utterly strange albums that appear in our PO Box as from another dimension, with little to no info, google search turns up nada, no other context besides us and the musical artifact in the envelope before us. We dub them Mystery Discs, and celebrate the unexplained phenomenon with two recent and quintessential examples: 5 Animals at the Zoo Eating Grass and The Kelly Bear Cartoon Show . As these are not available anywhere else, we decided to share the love and present them not only as full album RealAudio streams, but zip files containing MP3s of the whole damned things. So stick that in your iPod and smoke it..

The first in our new series of podcasts is ready to light up your earbuds, with brain-busting bizarreness from our latest adds and some classic weirdness from the record vault. We plan to do a new show each month, with a deep archive kept on our podcast page.

Now that we've settled into our new digs, the gnomes down in the submissions dept. are busy sorting through the mountain of submissions we've received over the past few months and choosing the weirdest for the appropriate channels - as always, if you've sent in music and haven't seen it in the Latest Adds yet, be patient, we'll get to it eventually.

As we prepare the new wave of Weirdsville! podcasts, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves through the magic of song, with a collection of works selected from our vanity label, Mandragora Records (www.mandragora.com). We have designed this "Beginner's Guide" to be fairly painless, staying to the easier side of our multidimensional sound, though the waters do at times get rough. This podcast features tracks that were handpicked and sequenced from the entire Mandragora catalog,
from our very first release, Paradise Camp 23's Bar-BQ Dungeon , to our latest and beyond, including many unreleased and future tracks. So slide back, light your chalice, and groove on the smooth sounds.
Selected playlist can be found on our PODCAST page.

Our first wave of podcasts and exclusive Weirdsville! MegaMix concludes w/ Thee Acid Hour, guaranteed to blow your mind and open your earholes. Heavy heavy psych descends into the neutron star Charalambides double-jam, then we come down into Moog moods and sleepy shoegaze.

Stay tuned for the next phase of podcasts, which will showcase the latest, greatest, and strangest of our current submissions. Want to join us? Check out our contact page for more info.

Wow! After SIX YEARS we finally designed a new Home Page on the World Wide Web. Our latest add is the Latest Adds feature, which lists the most recent sounds added to all the channels. We also tightened up the NEW channel to match, and have links when we have them directly to the artists themselves. So if you dig a new groove, contact the band and buy their music. Its as simple as that...Tightening up the NEW channel brought clear the fact that we have lately been getting into some REALLY HEAVY SHIT. Bunny Brains, Magik Markers, Mummies of the Insane, Yutang, Grandpa Helicopter, all proving that we definitely haven't mellowed in our old age. Listen and find out.

Weirdus Rex  KEITH HEMMERLING has included our Featured essay/exegesis, THE HIGH POINT OF THE EVENING , in his latest book, Walkin on the Wildside , a collection of "short, quirky screenplays or plays". Our Feature forms the bulk of the one-act play, King of Weirdsville , which is set in the Weirdsville! webradio studio. Available through all the major online booksellers, or you can order it directly from the publisher at XLibris.com .

We initiate our podcasts w/ five hours of Weirdsville! MegaMix by head honcho Erik Amlee, webcast live on March 21, 2003 from WeirdCentral here in the States to The Horse Hospital in London for their Spring Equinox Salon of Exotic Reason bash. Hour 1 starts off easy w/ pastoral grooves merging into funxotica and disco noise, then fading in the Summertime heat and things get strange and hazy.
