According to W Magazine, which I always thought was a George W Bush fanzine, playwright Douglas Carter Beene names BizarreRecords as one of his favorite websites. He apparently regularly emails things from his fave sites to his mailing list, which includes the likes of Isaac Mizrahi and Nathan Lane.So, you know, I got that going for me.

In honor (?) of the 40th anniversary of Charles Whitman's shooting spree atop the clocktower at the University of Texas (August 1, 1966), I have decided to post this rare video footage and TV coverage of the crime. These videos were found in the trash at a TV station I used to work at.Please read the extensive Wikipedia article on the man and the shootings... no use in me reposting the same

The best Calypso records are local, low-fi productions straight from Jamaica, the Bahamas, Trinidad, or other Caribbean islands.Talk about home made! Check out Lord Antics: this album cover is made from plain green paper, folded and held together with masking tape. Instead of cover slicks, the cover picture and track list are glued on. Not just the cover, but the vinyl itself is pretty

Over the years, somehow, I've managed to find three different records by Hawaiian lounge singer Rodney Arias. One listen to "Live!" and you know that Rodney was no two-bit tourist hack - this man could put on a show. The intro alone to "After the Lovin'" makes me want to go back in time to the Outrigger East hotel, circa 1979, with an umbrella drink in one hand and a beautiful wahine in the

There's a thrift store I go to that always has tons of Children's records. Especially those newer 80s-90s ones with lots of dull songs about obeying your parents and respecting other cultures. I usually only buy them if there's something unusual there, like maybe a song about how to pee or perhaps a cover of "I Am the Walrus". Anyway There were several records (all signed on the back) by a guy

Ishmael UnitedHere's a record I bought just to see how a group of obviously English hooligan-types ended up with a record on a Christian music label from Pasadena, Texas. I still haven't figured that part out yet, but when I finally put the wax on the turntable I was quite surprised to hear some pretty cool old-school UK pogo-punk coming from my speakers. I had to double check to make sure I
