Ed Cox's album "Hardcordian," a delightfully surreal mixture of boomin' electro beatz and live folk accordion, only came out 4 or 5 years ago, but it seems to have vanished from all retail outlets, so here 'tis:Ed Cox "Hardcordian"
Yes, he performs his "clown-core" music (as he calls it) in clown dress. I wish there really was a genre called clown-core, but it'd probably end up like Insane Clown Posse or somethin, so just as well. There's only 8 tracks here in a brisk 23 minutes.
1. The Triumphant March of Piaf
2. The Tetris Theme Tune
3. Arabian Raves
4. Le Fanfare De Teuffeurs (the first of several songs that begin as a waltz, before all hell breaks loose)
5. The Dance of the Otter Droppings
6. The Lonely Clown
7. Cool Cats
8. Cloudy Tuesday Morning (no accordions on this one)
I'm pretty sure I first heard this album on the WoBcast, so thanks guys!.

that would be the WOBCast I was on! And then promptly played it on my show repeatedly.
It's genius.
There are some insane vids of him 'techno busking' in clown costume in the high street on YouTube...
Thanks for the Hardcordian recommendation. Very nice.
