Music Only I Care About is the place to go for anything weird, forgotten and fun: Demos, Private Press, Outsider oddities and more! A little bit of odd, and a little bit of even odder, brought to you by a bespectacled bird with a lisp and a love for archiving.

Thank you for making it. This is perhaps the show I am most proud of, and yet I didn't say everything I wanted to. Guess I'll save the rest of my thoughts for the 2 year anniversary memorial next year.

because all of Tiny Tim's best stuff has gone unreleased. Don't worry, the good people at Ship To Shore Phonograph Co are maxing things right by releasing great Tiny audio officially.

While it would be important he does, that would mean none of it would ever see the light of day. Robert shared everything. Bill has a lot of feelings about various other works. "Robert, send this one to the corn field."

He released a solo album as Art Barnes a few months back. I still need to listen to it.

Yeah, I remember 15 years ago, I ripped the Voobaha VHS tape and copied it to DVD, and asked in the old barnes & barnes yahoo group if I could distribute it to fans. Artie said yes. Art said absolutely not.
You should totally listen to the new "And Barnes" album though. It's not bad.

It's not too hard to tell the difference when they sing alone. Most singing is Robert, he does the deep And Other Things Too / Public Toilet voice, and he does the higher serious "adult" voice like in Life Is So Much Safer...
Billy's voice is a bit scratchier, more similar to someone that smokes - think Fox Hole, The Longest Dream...
