Disc 37 / 48

One more themeless disc, to go with the others.

Bob Vido called himself a one-man band, but someone online referred to him as "the one-man Shaggs", and I think that fits much better. He sounds like he's having a lot of fun, though, and one thing the Timothology songs all have in common is that people sounded like they were having fun recording them.

Psyche Rock is the song that Pierre Henry didn't allow the makers of "Futurama" to use for the theme, so they wrote one that sounded as close as they could get without being legally actionable.
