奥斯卡音乐

Back in the 90s I would spend time at the Cypress Swap Meet and there was a booth where someone was selling tube socks. This vendor was always playing these outlandish synthesizer versions of old hit songs from another country. Maybe Korea? Memory can be weird like that when you are trying to remember nostalgic retrofuturistic versions of old songs being played by tube sock vendors in a parking lot thirty years ago. I do remember taking in that music while eating a swap-meet churro and thinking that it was a good moment.

Good old Madrotter posted a recent album that Madrotter has dubbed Oscar Young and that YouChoob Music has credited to 奥斯卡音乐 Through the magic of the algorithm I found out that this artist has approximately a trillion albums of outlandish synthesizer easy listening covers. Some of the songs I recognize, some I don't, but mostly I want to imagine being in a doctor's office in 1976 nodding my head to this stuff.


Also, this album cover!!!
