    Tracks of the Week: Kids

    AFX "Children Talking" - Limited to 3000 copies, the track on this 12" (Hangable Auto Bulb vol. 1) was originally released on the Warp label in 1995. It's Aphex Twin in an early phase of his drill 'n bass work. You can't beat the spoken word sample: "Mashed potatoes? Why do you hate mashed potatoes?" Dark, abstract, and twisted. Out of print.

    Tiny Tim "On the Old Front Porch" - The ukulele-playing, falsetto-voiced eccentric was best known for "Tip-Toe Through the Tulips." What most people probably don't realize is that Tiny Tim (né Herbert Khaury) was also a creditable baritone crooner. You can hear a bit of that on this track. Duetting with himself, Tiny Tim weaves a disturbing tale of two young lovers. Kids will be kids. Out of print.
