Seems that I'm not alone in admiring the Song-Poem phenomena. Kudos to my friend Wally who sent me another link to a site where a weird song is featured everyday for one whole year. That's right, 365 bizarro songs to delight and amaze. Check the 365 Days website and blog for some truly amazing "out there" songs and song-poems. This site also has some great links (including the American Song-Poem Anthology site referenced yesterday). 365 Days is definitely going to be added to my favourites. While we're dealing with all things song-poem, John Zorn's label Tzadik has a Rodd Keith (the king of the song-poem) compilation called "I Died Today", click here for more info. For more general Rodd Keith (aka Rod Rogers) info go here. There's also a great tribute page to Rodd by his son, Ellery Eskelin, at WFMU, click here for it.
Happy listening!
