Avalanches about...
hayzil made me do it. She couldn't find a copy of The Avalanches Frontier Psychiatrist so I said I'd upload it.
It might be a track not many people have heard. If not, download it now. Relying on a heavy, Ninja Tune-style beat for backing, "Frontier Psychiatrist" busts out samples from 37 spoken word recordings, resulting in an oddball pastiche and some brilliant scratching on a sample of a parrot. It's as weird as it sounds. And brilliantly funny.
If that sort of thing amuses or entertains you, I can also recommend People Like Us - Dolly Pardon, which is a series of political interview clips, masterfully weaved around some Dolly Parton samples. Surreal and weirdly haunting.
