UbuWeb - 365 Days Project

For those not in the know, this is a site dedicated to all things bizarre in the world of audio curated by DJ's and outside music collectors. Each day during 2003 (and again in 2007) a new recording was posted resulting in a collection of the strangest recordings you'll ever hear. Its really hard to describe exactly what you're going to find in here, between both years there is well over 1000 pieces to listen to (some days found an entire album and then some) and each is pretty unique. But keep an eye out for things like (linked for your convenience)

The Space Lady covering Major Tom on a Casio UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
Michael Mills - Hidden & Satanic messages in Rock Music UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
A Cambodian Funk Yodeler UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
William Shatner "Rocket Man" UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
Outtakes of Orsen Wells hocking frozen peas in the 1960's UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
Van Morrisons 1968 contract breaker UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
An easy listening album recorded by the USAF UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
Children's Disco Stories - Jack and The Beanstalk set to a disco beat! UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
A strangely haunting home recording of "Carry on my Wayward Son" UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
The catchy "Jogging for Jesus" UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
a TON of Thurl Ravenscroft UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2007)
the infamous "I sing about blue" - passed around by audiophiles and remixed for years, its a must hear. UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
An album of Atari songs UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
IBM 7090 "Music from Mathematics" UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
The Erotic Bedspring Symphony UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
The surreal and quite funny Badger Theater Movie PhoneUbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2003)
The Ukuleles of Halifax UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2007)
Sex Ed from Art Linkletter UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2007)
A Coca Cola Musical UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2007)
Interviews with Hobos UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2007)
The Death Killers...you'll just have to listen UbuWeb - 365 Days Project (2007)

Okay thats just the tip of the iceberg the collection is simply VAST and I know there are better recordings that I'm forgetting. Needless to say its a hodgepodge of everything and if you're a fan of outsider recordings I'm sure you'll adore this website as much as I do. Bookmark it because it will take you a while to wade through but the treasures just keep popping and the journey is simply amazing. It would seem that some entries have been removed due to copyright or at the artists request but from poking around it looks to be about 99% intact.

If this stays alive long enough perhaps people would be interested in posting some of the stuff they find and enjoy? If not sit back and enjoy!
