This thread (website) is right up my alley. Not to shill for my own contributions and detract from yours, but this is somewhat the antithesis thread / accompanying opposite of what I've recently created, and am currently curating: Loosies, Oddities & Remixes. Only difference that I see is the ruling premise: while you are featuring the oddities and "found" unusual track tapes accumulated by one random guy, most of them are actually unknown/foreign to the layperson, and to borrow from a porn term, strictly amateur; My thread, on the other hand, has an underlying and unstated rule that all tracks and features must be that of and from established musical acts.

Thanks very much for sharing this, and of the few links I've visited and gone thru, this random guy could easily be me, as he, too, has as a predilection towards "topic-tures" (just got through with the "Carry On My Wayward Son" post, and it was rife with (trivial) context to its origins). I can also relate towards your follow-up definition and expanding view on outsider music, as somehow, and I don't know when it happened, I much more thoroughly enjoy "found" music that I either stumbled across by accident, a friend recommended to me some band I've never heard of, or just a great artist that I forget exactly how I came across and discovered exactly, but I'm glad my coincidence allowed it to happen. And then I also have this nagging subconscious thing in my head that doesn't really like having to listen to the overhyped musicians that receive airplay on modern radio now. That, too, is perhaps a contribution in what may define me as an "outsider music"-head (I never even knew there was such a definition for a person, other than just being indie).

(The only problem here is that I literally have 1,000+ other great blogs that I have in my notes, and I fear this website just might be another title in my ton of net links. I really need to get to filtering those out sometime.)

I hope you can find time and effort to feature your favorites here from time to time, as it might help me more fully realize this is some site in which I should definitely subscribe to (and might need to download and transload the audibles into my ipod soon).
