Good evening. Here's what's happening in the world of outsider music. Our top story today:
- Florence Foster Jenkins, "The World's Worst Opera Singer," is not only the subject of the recent Meryl Streep film, but of two books, including one written by ma music bloggin' homie Darryl Bullock, of "World's Worst Records" fame. The other book is supposedly the one that inspired the film. Still not enough? Dig the documentary DVD.
- Was quite surprised and delighted to hear Shooby Taylor the Human Horn in the recent animated film "Sing." 'Twas only a few seconds of "Stout Hearted Man" but still, Shooby's fnally hit the big time! They better include him on the soundtrack album.
- All Eternal Things is a beyond-great blog dedicated to lounge private-press vinyl. The album cover pics are priceless, and the mixes and vinyl rips are hours of good bad listening.
- The Everyday Film, whose recordings were once so elusive, has now thrown up everything (if you'll pardon the expression) on Bandcamp.
From all of us here at M4M news, thanks for watching. Good night!

Thank cat! Yup, & Paxton directed Barnes n Barnes' "Fish Heads" video, too.
I don't get it. -- Is this blog done?
Honestly can't say, Timmy! I never seem to have much free time anymore.
Oh! Well, I understand. I would like to thank you for all the great stuff in the past, that you diligently posted for us all, including insightful information about the posts.
I will check back occasionally ! Take care ~~~~~~~~~~~
A mere two months after Timmy, I get round to seconding that emotion ...
Your blog has been a wonderful resource/source of wonderful "stuff".
Thank you for everything, and I hope that you'll be allowed some free time for yourself, soon.
God dammit, don't go - I've only just found you! :(
Thanks guys. I have some supercool projects on tap that have sucking up my time.
Nice
Please don't vanish like Willard's, you are like a oasis in a musical wasteland.

PLLLLLLLEASE!!
I was talking to friends last night about this music blog and all the strange artists I discovered from it, and when googling, I accidentally turned up the link to it after having long since forgotten the name. I honestly expected to find that it hadn't been updated in years, so you can imagine my delight in seeing that it was last updated last year. I never commented back in the day, so I just wanted to say thanks so much for all the years of good, weird music. I still listen to a lot of the songs I got from here.
