Staff Pick of the Week

Every week we here at Repo like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. This week's pick is.....


Leona Anderson - Music to Suffer By
(Trunk Records)



Leona Anderson recorded this little diddy in 1958 with a full backing orchestra and well, "Music to Suffer By" is honestly bad. period. There's something to be said about things that are awesomely bad. From Plan 9 to Street fighter there's something amazingly alluring and too honestly comical about these works. And so "Music To Suffer By" would fit in nicely along any bad B-Horror Movie. If you could round up every little thing that makes music horrid and you put them together you would have this. From consistently off key singing to eerie, spacey and uninteresting musical composition this album, truly, has it all. But still, there is a charm here. Charm and something else that's gonna make you giggle with your friends.



Imagine sitting in a car with your friends and you put this on?
