People Like Us "Abridged Too Far" (2004)
For the first time, UK-based People Like Us (Vicki Bennett) is
releasing a new album
exclusively online here on UbuWeb. "Abridged Too Far" is a collection
of audio work first
conceived through experimentation through or on radio. On this new
collection, People
Like Us continues its pastiche of impressions of popular music from
Europe and America
from the 1920s thru to 1990s. Vicki Bennett's work is an examination of
the affect of
hearing well known tunes and lyrics in fragments, then putting those
elements to play--
resonating, intermingling and recombining with the listeners own
associations and shards
of memories. Full-color downloadable artwork and liner notes are
available.

"The 365 Days Project"
UbuWeb is pleased to announce the re-launch and permanent home of
curator Otis F. Odder's
365 Days Project. This legendary project, in which an MP3 a day -- of
mostly outsider,
novelty, and oddball recordings -- was made available for the public to
download over the
course of 2003. Briefly taken offline at the end of the project, it is
now presented here
in its entirety, complete with images and vast commentary on each
selection. The 365 Days
Project is part of UbuWeb's redesigned, newly-named and much expanded
Outsiders section.
