Gary Wilson=Porno Music For Stalkers
Anyone on here dig Gary Wilson? For the uninitiated, here's the deal:
The Story
In 1977 Gary Wilson recorded his debut album "You Think You Really Know Me" in his parents' basement in Endicott, New York. It was self-released, got little to no attention at the time and for years it was the only album he ever recorded. But over the years the album's cult status grew and it wound up being a big influence on Beck among others. Some time in the early 00s Peanut Butter Wolf from Stones Throw Records managed to track Gary Wilson down to the porno shop he was working at in L.A. and offered him a record deal. Since then Gary has released two studio albums and a collection of "lost" tracks as well as re-released his debut album.
The Music
I don't know how you'd describe his music, "experimental porno music" maybe. It sounds a bit like Barry White as sung by greasy-haired loser that lives in his mom's basement and instead of sexy lyrics there are sort of creepy stalker-ish lyrics. Anyway, here are two of his songs for your listening pleasure:
"Chromium Bitch" (1977)
"Linda Wants To Be Alone" (2004)
