#IT Cabinet of Curiosities
May/June 2013

Wikipedia wrote:

A cabinet of curiosities was an encyclopedic collection in Renaissance Europe of types of objects whose categorial boundaries were yet to be defined. They were also known by various names such as Cabinet of Wonder, and in German Kunstkammer ("art-room") or Wunderkammer ("wonder-room"). Modern terminology would categorize the objects included as belonging to natural history (sometimes faked), geology, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art (including cabinet paintings) and antiquities. "The Kunstkammer was regarded as a microcosm or theater of the world, and a memory theater. The Kunstkammer conveyed symbolically the patron's control of the world through its indoor, microscopic reproduction."[1] Of Charles I of England's collection, Peter Thomas has succinctly stated, "The Kunstkabinett itself was a form of propaganda".[2] Besides the most famous and best documented cabinets of rulers and aristocrats, members of the merchant class and early practitioners of science in Europe also formed collections that were precursors to museums.

You may wonder what exactly will qualify as a "curiosity", but as usual, this is pretty open to interpretation. Just think of the esoteric, the strange, the weird - artifacts that defy conventional musical norms. Maybe its one of those "Music to Help You Sleep" records you see at the thrift stores for 25 cents. Maybe its some aboriginal nose flute (who's not a fan of that?!). Maybe it's one of those weird preacher albums talking about the dangers of drunk driving.

Limbo parties, peanut butter, moog exercises, outer space, inadvertent misogyny, overt religion, vampires, cats & dogs.

It's always better when the artists aren't being weird for weirdness' sake, but rather just really into clean teeth and the desire, the need, to sing about it. We'll take all sorts though I guess.

Come one, come all - and contribute to our cabinet. Either reply in this thread or send me a pm if you want in. Everyone will have at least a month to get their submissions in. Once we have enough volunteers, I'll send out further instructions on where to submit your tracks to.
