Today I learned that album art as an art form peaked in 1980 and never recovered.

Who is the most underrated artist, in your opinion?

There's many, but someone who's underrated even within the Outsider Music community is Maddy Ellwanger. One of my favorite vocalist.

She took two of her albums down from Spotify, but all her music, music videos & acting reels are still on YouTube on her Maddy Mania channel. Amazing DIY creator and still is ^^ makes all her music, makes the sets and makes all her outfits.

(If you like Outsiders like Tiny Tim, Jandek, Tamino, Hasil Adkins and Bobb Trimble, you'll definitely fuck with her)

67: Crow44 // Crow44

Crow44 Crow44 2013, Stones Throw

Great press release fodder on this one: Crow44’s Desmond Pierce is (or perhaps was) an elderly bedroom musician in North Yorkshire who self-released at least 25 (oddly Egypt-obsessed) albums starting in the ‘90s before he was discovered by DJ and internet crate digger James Pants, leading to a self-titled compilation EP on the venerable hip-hop label Stones Throw. Pierce apparently played in a Yardbirds-y R&B band in the ‘60s, but I don’t know if there’s really a name for what he does as a solo artist—too much funk in it for dream pop, too eerie to be New Age. Like fellow cult rediscoveree Bobb Trimble, it’s best perhaps to simply say that Pierce’s vision of psychedelia is idiosyncratic. He seems informed by ‘80s synth pop and soft rock, but his affection for cheapo-sounding electronic instruments like the Omnichord, which would’ve come across as hopelessly dated in the ‘90s, means a lot of his stuff would fit nicely on a chillwave playlist (or even as a beat for a Yung Lean-type rapper). The overall feel is woozy, like taking Oxys while watch Inside Out in a movie theatre.

Sometimes that wooziness rankles; the childlike vocals and droning melody of opener “Love You to Death” is both intriguing and kind of irritating to listen to in the way a lot of outsider-tinged music tends to be. When everything clicks though, Pierce proves himself a masterly arranger. “If You’re Feeling Down Part I,” a twinkling Lennon/Nilsson-y ballad of crystalline delicacy, is as beautiful as anything psych’s old masters ever produced (insipid lyrics par for the course). Its finest touch among many may be the ambiguous note struck by its violin’s minor melody—in contrast to the song’s glassy-eyed sweetness, when the violin swells it evokes discovery and melancholy. Like a touch of acidity in a dessert, it enhances the overall flavour immensely.

I’m not aware of any further releases by Crow44 since this career-spanning compilation, which means (at least for now) that it serves as a tidy capstone to a career otherwise (well) spent tinkering away in obscurity.

25, 29, 30 🕊️🖤

25: A song by an artist no longer living

29: A song that you remember from your childhood

30: A song that reminds you of yourself

25.Some Things Last A Long Time-Daniel Johnston

I always appreciate artist who don't have to say too much or use wordplay to convey an emotion. A really intense emotion. Daniel, along with other Outsider favorites of mine like Jandek, Tonetta Bobb Trimble and Maddy Ellwanger are great at letting their vocal performances be an important instrument in conveying what they were feeling when writing their song. This song is straight to the point on the feeling of missing someone and not being able to do anything about it but hold onto the little things.

favorite lyrics:

Your picture is still

On my wall, on my wall

I think about you

Often, often

29.For Your Precious Love-Jerry Butler

There's so many songs that I could put here. But I'll pick this one because I've been listening to it recently and I love it to death and it's sound makes me feel cozy yet melancholy. Before I went to school, I spent my days playing with toys while my grandpa would play the mix cds my dad made him. And this track always felt so gentle yet sad. (I feel like people sample this song's rhythm alot without knowing it by the way!)

favorite lyrics:

For as long as you're in love with me

Our love will grow wider

Deeper than any sea

And of all the things that I want

In this whole wide world, is

Just for you to say that you'll be my girl

30.Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood- Nina Simone

Even though I enjoy a lot of music and writing, it's very rare that I personally relate to what someone is saying. This is the first song that hit close word for word. I come off quiet and sometimes moody to my family (mostly during the school years, not so much now they get it now). And I had a bad habit of bring my negative/pissed off attitude back home from school, when I really shouldn't have taken for granted that I was surrounded by love. And still am <3

favorite lyrics:

If I seem edgy, I want you to know

I never mean to take it out on you

Life has its problems, and I get more than my share

But that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

[sentencemix]

i love when a music has memories attached to it. everytime i listen to this song i remember sitting and waiting to get attended for an allergic reaction i had at like 10 pm on a school night
