Noises For The Leg: It's Time For Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers
http://noisesfortheleg.blogspot.com/2008/01/its-time-for-jonthan-richman-modern_31.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. It's Time For Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. Respectably underproduced by our new fave rave Andy Paley,. Is another album- like. That Jonathan doesn't care much for but is nonetheless stuffed full of gems. More than most Jonathan Richman records this one has tunes that aren't too idiosyncratic for a big label artist to cover, "It's You" and "This Love Of Mine" being two prime examples. Was released on Rough Trade in 1986 and never rereleased. This Love Of Mine". Its T...

Noises For The Leg: Like This Parade
http://noisesfortheleg.blogspot.com/2008/04/like-this-parade.html
Friday, April 4, 2008. Misawa Masanori (or as he's known in Japan, Masanori Misawa) is Tokyo's unheralded king of melody. Outside of a few compilation appearances you won't find his music in stores- real life or online. The best way to get his music is to know him. He occasionally burns small quantities of cdr eps under the name Like This Parade. To give to his friends. With names like CDR Feb 08. These eps are like a 'zine or a diary. Brian Wilson's fertile Smile. Milk-bus to your dream" from CDR Jul07:.

Noises For The Leg: December 2007
http://noisesfortheleg.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Why do you read other blogs? Because I'm on them. Matt at You Ain't No Picasso asked me to make a mix for his 12 Days of Mixmas series. I was happy to oblige. YANP is a great blog that tracks the current musical taste of one Matt Jordan. He's got other Mixmas entries this year from our pals Fishboy. And lots of others. This is the second year in a row I've been allowed to make a Mixmas for YANP. You can read my '06 entry here. Though the mp3 links are dead. My knowledge of jaz...

Noises For The Leg: February 2008
http://noisesfortheleg.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Allan Sherman- Music to Dispense With. In 1966 Allan Sherman was apparently as famous as Paris Hilton. Being negative eight years old I don't have very reliable memories of the pop culture gestalt of the time. But when I brought this record home from the flea market in 1998 I knew it was destined to become one of my favorite van-passenger testing tools. If you can hear the brilliance in this most silly record then I wanna hang out with you. Makin' Coffee (Makin' Whoopee).

Noises For The Leg: Brazil Classics 1: Beleza Tropical
http://noisesfortheleg.blogspot.com/2008/02/brazil-classics-1-beleza-tropical.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Brazil Classics 1: Beleza Tropical. At the tender age of 17 my best friend and I were looking at colleges in Washington D.C. We found time one evening to take in an animation festival. The first clip in the festival was this:. We arrived in NYC a few days later on the same college campus tour. His godmother took us to Tower Records where I somehow located this cassette. There hadn't yet been a tropicalia. What the O Brother Where Art Thou? Albums, but I can tell you if you're ...

Noises For The Leg: RHAG aka Roy Henry Alexander Gover
http://noisesfortheleg.blogspot.com/2007/12/rhag-aka-roy-henry-alexander-gover.html
Saturday, December 8, 2007. RHAG aka Roy Henry Alexander Gover. There is precious little information available about RHAG on the web. I can't find any pages dedicated to him anywhere. His invisibility is curious, as his art seems tailor-made for the blog age. RHAG is a seventy- (now eighty-? Year old drag queen and multi-media artist who rambles in character over FM radio instrumentals. His sole official release LGO (Life Goes On). I will eventually post the entire cassette when I run it down. I can pers...

Noises For The Leg: Bobby & Betty Go To The Moon
http://noisesfortheleg.blogspot.com/2008/07/bobby-betty-go-to-moon.html
Friday, July 11, 2008. Bobby and Betty Go To The Moon. A Lunar Adventure in the Year 1985. There may not be a record made that deserves its own time capsule more than the mid-sixties gem Bobby and Betty Go To the Moon. Side one is the narrated tale of two young astronauts, Bobby and Betty, and their preparations and lunar voyage as the first humans under the age of 21 to reach the moon. First off, what kind of adults-only shenanigans have been happening up there? Thank you ever so much for posting this&#...

Noises For The Leg: Renaldo & the Loaf - Arabic Yodelling
http://noisesfortheleg.blogspot.com/2008/02/renaldo-loaf-arabic-yodelling.html
Monday, February 4, 2008. Renaldo and the Loaf - Arabic Yodelling. My band is about to board a plane for Japan to play pop music, eat udon noodles and speak slowly with our friends over there. So I can't go on too long right now. All you need to know is this: Renaldo and the Loaf is pop music. Really, really weird pop music. Just about as far out as you can get while maintaining any semblance of a verse-chorus-verse dynamic. Like many, I first heard their music on the Residents'. Songs for Swinging Larvae.
