Ep. 2 – Weird Disco and Tossed Salad
September 8th, 2010 § 1 Comment
The pulse, the throb, the lights, comics, eskimos, freaks, and woodpeckers. This is the wild world of weird disco.
I was stranded in Disco. I went to dozens of darkened places with enough flashing lights to drive the average person mad. I felt lost in the pulse of sheer panic. – Martha Reeves
Today Mobilis in Mobili charts the unfamiliar waters of unusual disco tracks from the rare to the downright bizarre. Just lean back in your easy chair, relax and prepare to tread water, just don’t get lost, or do, in the pulse of sheer panic.
