Notes It’s a modern day wax cylinder. Irresistible. Originally spotted on Retro Thing. Sadly I don’t have the requisite hardware, but the purchase comes with two MP3 versions of Jed Davis’ celebration of yuppie foreclosure: the song in hi-fidelity and a version recorded direct from the cylinder. It sounds appropriately (and charmingly) thin and crackly.

It’s an edition of 50, available for purchase from the Jed Davis Song Foundry.
