Shameless Self-Promotion Alert
January 29th, 2006
Mark Brend has written a wonderful book called Strange Sounds, which is devoted to some of the more peculiar instruments that have been used in popular music over the years. Along with things like Theremins, stylophones, Ondes-Martenots, ocarinas and clavolines, Mark writes about ukelins and Marxophones. Which is where I come in. The book includes a CD of recordings of almost all of the instruments Mark writes about, and I was the guy who played the ukelin and the Marxophone clips. Despite that, you really should get the book and learn how bands like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, Radiohead, the Beach Boys and even the Osmonds made some of their trippier records. -MJS
