Guest: D. E. (aka lifeinratutopia)

Old skool posting legend D. E. joins yeerk for a journey into the 'incredibly strange' world of OUTSIDER MUSIC via the carnival barker showmanship of 'ideologue with a hustle' Irwin Chusid and his landmark book SONGS IN THE KEY OF Z

They ponder the ethics of outsider art, the paradoxical connections between conservatism and conservationism, the perverse freedom of obscurity- and finally ask the question: just how weird are these people anyway?

"Oh, the boys with cars want motorcycles
And the boys with motorcycles want cars

You can never please anybody in this world"

"If I could only stay sixteen forever
Then I'd know that I'd be satisfied with life"
