Phononomicon

@phononomicon-blog

Phononomicon is an archive of musically-oriented city field recordings: A hobo's gentle tune wafting through the alleys of the city, the tribulations of a bar band's sound check, smooth jazz playing in a tiled restroom at a Chinese restaurant, the oblivious iPod guy humming to himself on the sidewalk. Generally with a humorous slant, beauteous and/or revolting on occasion.
