You Cant Download Vinyl | Y. Bhekhirst - Hot In The Airport [with lyrics] @vwest1ife | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
(Re-uploaded to correct a YouTube encoding glitch.) An "Incorrect Music" classic: odd and discordant, but also surprisingly catchy. Singer and musician Y. Bhekhirst, an eclectic man from New Hyde Park, New York, created an album on cassette of this off-beat and relentlessly over-dubbed music, and personally distributed it to local record stores. The title track was also released as a 45 RPM single, with the same song on both sides.
There has been some debate about Y.'s music, but it sounds to me like he played, recorded, and over-dubbed each instrument individually, without much concern to keeping everything in exact rhythm. On this song, even the drums were recorded at least twice and then over-dubbed together.
This is by far the most polished and "mainstream" song on the album, which sounds like an exaggerated compliment until you hear the rest of it. Although probably far from the success Y. desired, his music was discovered by Irwin Chusid of freeform radio station WFMU in the mid-'90s, and has been played frequently on the station since then, especially on the show "Incorrect Music."
