Ten off-kilter MP3s after the jump...
Here's the musical oeuvre of one Y. Bhekhirst, a man who sings in some unidentifiable accent, backed up by a band that sounds like each instrument was recorded separately, without any regards to such things as tempo or melody. Hot in the Airport was a big hit on Incorrect Music, where the most played track from the album had to be the title song. It's just so darn catchy, and Mr. Bhekhirst made sure you picked up on that by underlining the track. (As can be seen in the picture on the right, the underlining was done on the plastic cover of the tape, not on the J-card insert or even on the shrinkwrap, which always struck me as a telling detail.)
For more information on Mr. Bhekhirst, check out the inevitable Wikipedia article, which will direct you to this Bhekhirst fan(?)site. These two sites contain all of the known information about Y. Bhekhirst, which is to say not that much.
All files below are 128kbit MP3 files.

Side B: Hot in the Airport | Freshing Air | You Dance | I Will Sing | Everytime I
All the best in contacting this guy. We all live in hope if hearing from Mr Bhekhirst and the eventual 10-CD box set of out-takes from Rhino.

This whole mystery is terribly interesting. I'm glad to have run across JHDG. While hearing "I Run My Car," and concurrently reading the lyrics posted on http://www.student.unimelb.edu.au/jdb/yblyrics.htm I decided that the song is actually about music, more specifically as played via a 45 rpm record. Consider the "go slow" lyric adjustment suggestion made by 'someone (irwin chusid?) [, who] claimed that it's "go slow", instead of "no snow".' If that is the case then "go slow to pin" is what the needle does as a record is playing. As for "hold to the right," that's what a listener would do with the needle once the record has finished playing, after it has gone slow to pin, so to speak. Any comments are appreciated although this site hasn't had a post in quite a while.
