Potatoes Folk

WFMU posted Ralph Records 1987 “Collection of Folk Songs,” Potatoes. There’s mp3s by well-known weirdos like Negativland, artist Howard Finster, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Bongwater. My faves are the archive-sampled prison work songs and sounds by Rhythm and Noise, “Bertas Hammer” (3:16):

And at KGLT we wore the grooves of this get-back-at-ex-boyfren anon a-capella, “The Billy Bee Song” (1:24)”
