365 Days is a project featuring a new piece of “outsider” music every day. From the strange to the wonderful, there’s just too much gold here to pass up. Unfortunately, the MP3s will be taken down at the end of the month, so clickity-click and giddy-up about it. (via robotjohnny)

Otto Is My Name…
Otto is hilarious. Otto writes letters to corporations and sometimes they write back. You should read about one-handed shampoo. (P.S. Otto is also the alter-ego of someone whom I’ve met.)

Hinterland Who’s Who
If you grew up in Canada in the 1960s or 1970s, you will know what I’m talking about. For those who didn’t, Hinterland Who’s Who was a series of one-minute films shown on television between commercials. If I remember right, sometimes we even saw them at school. They were brief introductions to some of Canada’s wildlife species, delivered by a very boring narrator. I’m sure almost every Canadian comedian has spoofed them at some point in his/her life. Well, not only is the Canadian Wildlife Service going to produce new clips, but it’s put up a great web site containing all of the old ones. Those first few notes on the flute always take me back to the days when I thought I’d see ptarmigans and snowy owls and roseate terns just outside my window.
