MP3 of the Day

In 1999, Pasadena, California friends Kenji Baugham, Padgett Arango and Margaret Brunjes recorded and released a wonderful CD under the name FORMERLY KNOWN AS OEDIPUSAURUS REX on Chucklehound Records. The album presented a wide variety of music ranging from folky songs to lo-fi synth-pop gems. Today we have, Let Go / Ollie The Otter, from this self titled album. If you're able to track down this CD, it's really worth it!

Another FKAOR posting? You're too good to us.

Whole album is available for download on the (slightly damaged due to in-progress redesign) website here:

Actually, that page is missing the hidden bonus track (our cover of "I Turned Into a Martian" by the Misfits) but you can get that here.

We had another Misfits cover in our repetoire as well. We did a version of "Skulls" in the style of the Pixies (if the Pixies played on a toy drumkit). Sadly (or perhaps fortunately), we never recorded it.
