that looks like you might be able to download some samples from. but i
haven't tried myself.
and one last thing, i am really surprised more people from this
list have not been to jonny's musical taste site and written up reviews of
songs for it. if enough people write song reviews for it it could be an
excellent companion to johan's exotiquarium. so far no one's even written
about the exotica heavyweights - martin denny, les baxter, esquivel, yma
sumac, xavier cugat, perez prado. i highly reccomend that people check out
his site: http://www.psychedelicado.com/indexmt.html

i completely agree with what you said, yet i use the "so bad
it's good" tag myself sometimes for sheer simplicity: everyone knows
what kind of music i'm talking about. what "politically correct"
alternative can you suggest for the "so bad it's good" tag, for
artists like Mrs. Miller? "incorrect" music is just a euphemism, i
think.

Irwin & Michelle (who coined the term) mean a bit more by this. They include music from industrials and training films, propaganda, music that's polished/professional ("good") but otherwise a bit off.

Found this gem the other day. Absolutely the sickest
thing I have ever heard. Makes Little Marcy seem like
Billie Holiday.

More on the TV series:
"The most hideously bizarre Christian thing on
television is 'Captain HookÆs Christian Pirate
Puppets', a trully demented cable program hosted by a
real
multiple-amputee; heÆs missing an arm and a leg. This
show is obviously aimed at the 6 and under crowd, but
they choose some of the most bizarre subject matter to
be talking to little kids about. In one segment,
"Mrs. Hook" (the CaptainÆs wife) talks about how "God
is not a child molester", with a big zombie-smile on
her face.
Another time, The captain performed an
autopsy on a puppet, pulling out beer cans,
cigarettes, and eventually realistic rubber
prop-organs.
In one episode, they found a bunch of stowaways on
the ship, and they started throwing them overboard,
making them walk the plank. The captain commented
"Those who donÆt walk with Jesus will have to walk
the plank!" -- quite a good message to send to kids!
The Creme de la Creme was when the captain broadcast a
segment where he explained how he lost his arm and
leg in a motorcycle accident. The segment was full of
gorey, full-color drawings depicting the whole
incident.
Remember -- this show is for
children under 6! It must have really warped quite a
