The Curios have been gathered from near and far. They may be common-as-muck or one-of-a-kind. They may be worth a pretty penny or a dime-a-dozen. They may be horrifying, captivating, loathsome, or scintillating.
Whatever the cause of their creation, hopefully they bring enjoyment to someone out there.
(unfortunately, I can't recall where I originally sourced this image from, however, you could probably find it if you scoured thru the links on the left)
Last night, I was talking to a friend about giallo, italo, disco and arpeggios. I promised him I'd post some of my favourite tracks that loosely fit under the above categories.
I recently got hold of some Wall of Voodoo albums, which are superb, and was reminded of former frontman Andy Prieboy's solo output. I tried to find as much as I could, only to find that the majority of it is out-of-print, which is a damn shame, as he has created some truly amazing songs.
Andy's site really doesn't give up much info, either...
