2021-10-31 05:43:11 +0000 UTCThis was a total joy! I am completely entranced and intrigued by the Least Wanted bit. It’s a perfect representation of a dissociative episode. It’s a B- shoebox diorama. It’s a Small World-esque ride in a boat on a track taking its captive audience from scene to scene. I think the harp player and the accordionist are both on the boat with you. The yodeling lady never appears; her voice is always in the rafters.

2021-10-29 04:15:14 +0000 UTCI tried to get my friends to listen to that song back in the ‘90s. It took like an hour to download. No one else thought it was as funny as I did. Thank you for the validation.

2021-10-28 18:01:28 +0000 UTCThis is great! Probably wasn't the best idea to listen to it at work though. I could not stop laughing

2021-10-26 15:52:14 +0000 UTCI have already now introduced the Most Unwanted Song to several friends and listened to some of Dave Soldier's other works. Apparently dude is legit??? Has played with John Cale and Mo Tucker and Henry Threadgill??? Anyway, the Most Unwanted Song is my favorite song of the year, thank you.

2021-10-25 16:43:48 +0000 UTCIs the man in the most desired song doing a bad Tom Waits? Edit: It was a bad Springsteen. Also the best part of the least desirable song was the rapper/opera Henny Penny
