Stones Throw STH2277
Gary Wilson. Born Endicott NY 1953.
Picks up bass, picks up on home recording, hangs out with John Cage at age 14 (scary, right?). Releases self-recorded jazz album in 1970. It's rare, don't bother looking.
Mid-70s. Gary gets weird. Records and self-releases You Think You Really Know Me in 1976, an album full of tales of groovy girls, chromium bitches, and mysterious calculations like "6.4 = Make Out."
Gary disappears. Small cult grows. Beck name-drops him in a rap song.
2002. Gary re-emerges, gets weirder. Releases "Mary Had Brown Hair" on Stones Throw. No one knows what to make of it. Even Bizarre Magazine thinks he's crazy (read: A Musical Guide To Stalking Your Ex Girlfriends).
