I really need a better setup for ripping tapes, but I've done some in the past (interestingly it was SCA dance music - we couldn't book musicians one year, so we created a CD to match out dance list.)
1. Here Come The Mummies - Terrifying Funk from Beyond the Grave A CDBaby find, not sure what I was looking for when I found it though. Probably linked through their "if you like this" section. Very upbeat, fun, and funky. They've got some track at CDBaby and more at their website.
3. Mondo Heptet - Jump Yer Bones Another CDBaby find. This one more of a swing sound with (although twisted swing).
4. Mr. Opporknockity - The Greatest O on Earth Yes, once again a CDBaby find. Actually their third album (but the only one I have so far). Their sound reminds me of the Barenaked Ladies, but not a clone. (Sorry, I'm not very good at describing these - and in this case, I'm only on my second or third listen)
5. The Tim Malloys - Drunkards, Bastards, and Blackguards Not a CDBaby find :) Rowdy Irish music from rowdy Irish musicians (who happen to live in the midwest). Great stuff. They are supposed to have their first CD available for downloading, but I can't get the links to work.
6. Rasputina - Thanks for the Ether Probably best described as cello goth rock. Probably best not described at all, but rather heard. They've got some samples on their website, and Amazon has some as well.
