The Delirious Museum Playlist 1.01. by frari. 17 of the 26 tracks are on Spotify. Omissions, substitutions and/or alternatives are as follows:
For Track 5, Un Jour à la fois by André Breton: totally irrereplaceable. No subsitute or alternative offered. Ok, ok, here's the other André Breton.
For Track 6, Rues de mon Paris by Serge Gainsbourg & and Dalida, La Chanson de Prévert by Serge Gainsbourg.
For Track 9, Kleines Gedicht Für Große Stotterer by Kurt Schwitters, mercifully too obscure for Spotify; here are some other Schwitters tracks on the excellent UbuWeb.
For Track 10, Unfinished, part of an interview with Marcel Duchamp, mercifully too obscure for Spotify; to hear the sound of Duchamp's voice, albeit lacking the unintended irony of the 'Unfinished' interview, listen to the 1959 George Heard Hamilton interviews on UbuWeb.
For Track 11, Music for Marcel Duchamp by John Cage, John Cage Said, by Spasm.
For 16, Carnival of Venice by Danny Kaye, Carnival of Venice by André Rieu & His Johann Strauss Orchestra (Vienna).
For Track 19, Funeral March for Queen Mary by Henry Purcell, When I Am Laid on Earth by Henry Purcell.
For Track 24, Horrors of the Black Mountain Overture by G. Schurmann, Black Mountain by Arve Hendriksen.
For Track 25, Glass Museum by God Speed You! Black Emperor, The Black Emperor by Paul Robeson.
