Music Only I Care About is the place to go for anything weird, forgotten and fun: Demos, Private Press, Outsider oddities and more! A little bit of odd, and a little bit of even odder, brought to you by a bespectacled bird with a lisp and a love for archiving.

This recording was done while the artist was suffering from lung cancer. This unreleased, extended mix would be replaced by a shorter mix with re-recorded vocals. I edited this mix because the vocals were a bit low.

I found a related recording on Soulseek, it led me to a British art program for people with developmental disabilities. Clare wrote 2 songs. The other is called Bugger Off Bullies.

There is a streaming radio show from Portland OR called Full Life Radio that's an effort from a very cool school of the same name that's for and by DA folx.
I think it's on the Freeform Portland radio station. Both terrestrial (in the PDX area) and online.

I got a copy of a “Full Life All-Stars” album that I reviewed on my old blog. Wonderful stuff. The website appears to be gone, so I hope they have a way of making their recordings available.

I said in my review: “After listening to stuff this pure and beautiful, I don't want to listen to "normal" music (it seems so artificial) or angry music - these are the kind of people we look upon with discomfort and pity, but the sunny outlook here makes the rest of us all seem like a buncha goddamn whiners.”

I think it's just their Freeform radio show now. The schools incredible and very empowering. They used to be a block away from KBOO studios.

It's a crime that Daniel's estate won't let the album this was recorded for come out.

I wonder why? They seem to have no problem licensing Johnston's work for other things. Like "Hi How Are You" Vans shoes.

It's very sad. People I know who have heard all the recordings have told me it's some of his best work.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:26pm
Rich in Washington:

I need to look through the pile of CDRs that Daniel left at KBOO studios when he visited eons ago. When the acting station manager quit, he dumped a bunch of stuff from his office in my mailbox - the DJ CDRs amongst all of it.
It was supposed to be all of his albums but just on plain CDRs with Sharpie titles on them.

If you could get those to me, that would be a big help. His people may not have some of it, I've helped recover a lot of live bootlegs they'd never heard before.

yeah. I was not at the time that familiar with Johnston's discography so had no idea if they were run-of-the-mill releases or not.
I don't even know if they're in an acceptable bitrate or not. Sometimes indie artists are not super adept at observing bitrate quality.
I had another pretty well known outsider guy send me a huge chunk of his back catalog in a DVD-R with no song titles, no ID3 tags, nada. I guess I was supposed to listen to it all and just play the ones I liked and wild-ass guess what the titles were.

I'm trying to get rid of a musty smell from a book I bought in eBay recently. It was an autographed copy of Hildegarde's book, Over 50, So What made out to Joe Franklin. I am a big fan of both Hildegarde and of Joe Franklin.

The book is in a bag with a box of baking soda.

I've been listening, but very busy with work preventing me from commenting.

FYI-Of possible interest to many here, a special guest on Joe McGasko's show next week on the mothership: Mon. May 22nd, 9am - Noon: Don Fleming
Musician, producer, and archivist Don Fleming brings fascinating and fun private-press records from his vast collection of records by forgotten lounge performers. Sold mostly as souvenir albums, these rarely heard releases, often recorded in actual lounges, are field recordings of a vibrant subculture of hard-working musicians now mostly lost.
