More Phonoanomalies for Hi-Fi Bugs (MP3s)

As promised last week, here is the second installment in Keith Lo Bue's Phonoanomalies series, 32 MP3 tracks and artwork below, or alternatively a Torrent of the whole thing in FLAC for the real audiophiles. If you don't yet have a Christmas present for your parakeet, THIS IS IT! And no, I am not kidding, we really care about the parakeets of the world here at WFMU, and they should get their presents, too. But humans, canaries, computers, and Zoroastrian physicians will also have fun with this compilation, because it features music by humans, canaries, a computer, and a Zoroastrian physician, the one and only Dr. Adi Tamboli. Of course, there is yodeling, whistling, and prepared pianos, too. And this compilation doesn't shy away from serious issues either, there are two Mike Curb tracks from the soundtrack to the shocking documentary about today's youth, Teenage Rebellion, and a song about the dangers of arcade games. Kids beware, playing Pac-Man, Asteroids, and Galaga will drive you crazy. You should rather listen to these tracks now. Where are they? As always, below the jump.

More info on sources and recording dates is here. Tracks run into each other, so you should burn all of them onto a little silver disk. How do you tell it apart from all the others littering your apartment? By Keith's wonderful artwork, of course: CD label | | Cover Booklet and Tray. If the words BitTorrent and FLAC are familiar to you and you missed it the first time, here is a Torrent file for the whole shebang in super-high fidelity, including artwork. I have already thanked lots of people in last week's post, so I won't repeat it here.

Next week I will hopefully bring you the third and final part of this series, but I am going to be on the road, and I don't know if they have already discovered the Internet in Germany yet. I'll have my homing pigeon with me, though, just in case.

Ha Ha
I had that Hartz Mountain record. I loved that scientific intro about,
"This recording is made with a voice that most parakeets find most effective in learning to talk"...and then the babe comes on.

[Henry Lowengard]

I used the parakeet record for my outgoing answering machine message in 1995:

I think Dave The Spazz was the first to broadcast this epic recording, at least on WFMU.

I just picked up a Mike Curb Congregation album at the thrift store. Your inclusion prompted me to investigate him, and he was really freakin' prolific. Check out the list: (can't decide which impresses me more, the theme from "Hotwheels" or Ronald Reagan's theme.....)

For some reason your torrent link from this page only launches my web browser with jibberish on it. I have never had this problem except when I tried to download your first comp last week. The mininova link worked great last week. Have you posted this torrent @ mininova (or elsewhere) as well? Thanks so much! I loved your first phonoanomalie last week!

Dale, don't just click on the torrent link, but right-click and save it to your computer. Only then will it be saved as a proper torrent file. Good luck!

Keith

PS: Glad you like the anomalies!

Just in case it doesn't work with the direct link to the Torrent file here, I have also submitted it to Meganova here.

Hi, torrent for "More Phonoanomalies.." seems to be dead. Could someone seed it again please? Thanks

[lixpas]

I downloaded it, thanks a lot for seeding. Theese Phonoanomalies Albums are just great!

[randall]

does anyone have the complete Hartz Mountain record in mp3

[trl_path]

Realise it's a bit late, but any chance of a reseed on the torrent?
