Oddity Archive

The Oddity Archive is a web series that revolves around the "cultural dustbin", especially as it pertains to media. The Archive also functions as an actual archive of sorts, with a modest collection of off-air Betamax and VHS recordings (about 400 total as of June, 2014). There's also a decent collection of ephemeral video, "ripoff" and "drugstore" LP's/cassettes/8-tracks, as well as (working) obsolete technology.

An interesting, but (unsurprisingly) failed, early attempt at multimedia interactivity.

And Ben thought it would just be another cool toy for his collection. How naive...

Episode 6 - The EAS Zombie Hoax of 2013

Or, as Ben likes to call it, the Max Headroom Incident's annoying, less creative little brother.

Episode 5 - Number Stations (And Other Radio Oddities)
Episode 4 - Archive LaserKaraoke Party! (LaserKaraoke)
First Aired: August. 15,2013

Seeing as the Archive somehow managed to hit the 30 episode mark, it seemed like a good time to throw a nice, little (tax-deductible) party. Plus, Ben sings a viewer poll-selected song (a move that was instantly regretted by all who voted).

Episode 3 - VHS Vault Vol. 2 (Fashion Videos)
Episode 2 - Record Ripoffs
First Aired: July. 18,2013

Featuring such great (non-)hits from the likes of Hairy Nielsen, BAAB, William Turkey and many, many more! Order today!!!

Because nothing says "Happy 200th, America" like crappy "collectibles", Up With People and bizarre Government films.
