I'm Alive! Secret Bonus
I search for cool rare things. The internet has made that a lot easier, and I've found most of them. I can't afford them all, but I can find a source for them.
There are two exceptions. One is the TV movie Shadow On The Land, which I've been working on but will probably never be available (more about that some other time). The other was a song from a compilation of new wave/punk songs of the late 1970's called No Wave.
Someone borrowed that record from me in the 80's, and I never got it back.
So my extremely cool friend Steve had a CD sent to me of the album. The strange thing is, I had no idea that it was ever made into a CD! Turns out it's a Japanese disk that he found on eBay. The disk arrived today.
(I have to admit that I don't know why my friends like me, but I'm not complaining.)
I'd found lots of the songs on that album, but there was one that had stymied me: I'm Alive by a Canadian band called The Secret. I'd searched various peer to peer networks for years, and never found it. And now I have it legally!
I ripped it immediately, of course, and have put it up on my server overnight to download elsewhere.
The song is basically insane. You'll need a good sense of humor to enjoy it, but it's so bizarre that it's great. If you liked Ween's Push th' Little Daisies you might like this one very much.
