Musically Records Tapes and CD's of people like Lee Hazlewood, Fred Neil, Jackson C Frank, Karen Dalton, Bobby Bare, Tim Buckley, lots of old country and rockabilly, also experimental old and new from Captain Beefheart and Linda Perhacs to Colleen Boom Bip and Climax Golden Twins. Fragile genius of songwriting people like Rocky Erickson, Brian Wilson, Scott Walker, Syd Barret. People with beautiful soul like Robert Wyatt Old Rottenhat, Curtis Mayfield, Gene Clark, Alton Ellis, Nick Drake, John Coltrane. Punks and Jazz Explorers Charles Mingus, John Cale, Sun Ra, Lee Mavers, Johnny Cash, Arthur Lee, 13th Floor Elevators. The list could be long and boring as there is so much inspirational stuff amoungst the mountainous crap.
