INTRODUCTION AND EXPLANATION

COUGH PARK COMPACT DISCS is a submission based mix system collaborative which is created 2x a year. A great deal of the audio is a result of the COUGH PARK HOTLINE. (347) 601-4266 where people call and leave messages about dreams, ghost stories, music, rants and recipes for better living. 

Every special physical DISC has unique limited edition packaging by Jason & Henry McLean  For a while we only made the DISCS available by physically going to COUGH PARK at GPS Location: 40.67451, -73.99984 in person but we have since set up this bandcamp page. Any funds generated from sales or merch will go to postal fees to send out actual discs.

Thus far DISCS have been given by hand to Thurston Moore, RZA, Gary Panter, John Giorno, John Cale, Mark Mothersbaugh, Phill Niblock, Jeff Koons, Laurie Anderson, Martin Rev, Aaron Cometbus, Eric Wareheim, George Takei (Sulu)  and others. So you are in good company! We strive to make COUGH PARK COMPACT DISCS for people we respect.

There is something for everyone big and small at COUGH PARK COMPACT DISCS!

Thanks for doing what you do.

#9 MARCH 2021 – CRAZY LIKE A RIVER OF LIGHT

Well it’s been a strange six months. Probably the strangest in our lives. But whatever. I am sick of talking about it and of junk breaking in my apartment and vermin taking over.

Everyone needs a vacation globally. This mix is even more evidence of the collective societal unconscious that flows like a river from the mountains with fresh clean mind water. Maybe it is a sort of vacation.
🚀🏖🌋
Unfortunately, there is a level of angst, sickness and paranoia in this mix, but it IS what it IS and somehow I’m not surprised. Coughpark tries to be apolitical, but given what just happened in the US of A the inferences are unavoidable. Apologies to our Canadian Brothers!!! America still makes really decent reality TV!!!
More than a few people have called in via random flyers which Jason has left everywhere. So I’d like to tip a hat to those individuals that took a chance to tell their stories.
Inexplicably,  Godfrey Bigbird has some lucky voicemail where an automated bot calls him incessantly from an Indian call center, only the scammers don’t know it  so they just say hello?! hello?! over and over. He has like an hour of these delicious calls and gets more everyday. SO WE ARE HARNESSING THE BROKEN BOTS FOR OUR OWN AMUSEMENT AT COUGHPARK.
The future will be a wonderful place if people would let you just dream.

#8 AUGUST 2020 – INFINITY, RIGHT IN THE FACE

This mix proves to me that a curious collective unconscious exists as far as The Rona pandemic goes back over the last say 6 months. It’s in the subtext and context of the submissions.  People may feel like they are cursed but we’ll get through it and beat this puny virus. It’s worth noting too that there is a lot of singing and people talking about or acting like animals. If anything the COVID-19 should teach us is to BE KIND TO ANIMALS FOR GOD SAKE.
An interesting new dynamic is that we received submissions from people in front of the actual coughpark art installation in Oshawa before COVID. So it all loops around forever.  See the credits @ Oshawa. It’s at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery Curated by Leila Timmins.
This guy Kyle happened to do a very nice coughpark6 review along with his vinyl finds.
