Sound-Clip Dadaist Mash Ups

Here are two free albums of enjoyable, absurd, sound-clip mash ups for your lazy afternoon pleasure.

'Sprungfelt'

First is 'Sprungfelt' by Billy and the Beatniks released through the now dead synestheticmusic net label. All sounds on the album are ripped from episodes from The Simpsons. Witty and brief.

Download the album through Last.fm here.

'Macho', if you didn't get that already.

This next batch of radical strange sound comes from Animals Within Animals, a "a musical supergroup consisting of whoever wants to be in the band at the time." Their EP, 'Macho', is a musical tribute to the late professional wrestler 'Macho Man' Randy Savage. My favorite track is absolutely Beef + Spice.

Really Interesting Stuff: The Everyday Film

'The House I Used to Turn Into' by The Everyday Film

'Music for Maniacs' is currently hosting the first four albums by The Everyday Film.

You know that feeling you get when you're huffing paint thinner while driving your salvaged 1978 Eldorado down a deserted highway in the Texas Panhandle after murdering a family of five? Yeah, that sums The Everyday Film's sound up fairly well.

The vocals on these albums are from lost or blocked memories. Secrets whispered from within, obscured by reason and ignorance, and always seem spawned from a psychotically lonely state of mind. Music comes in lurching blips and segments - interwoven with static and minimalist noise. When music does seep through the bleak tension it often offers a confusing and contrasting beauty.

So, yeah - probably not for everyone. But if you like your despair as terrifying as possible, this is right up your ally. I would certainly be interested in what the mind(s) behind The Everyday Film would do with other artistic mediums.
