UbuWeb is pleased to announce the re-launch and permanent home of The 365 Days Project. This legendary project, in which an MP3 a day - of mostly outsider, novelty, and oddball recordings - was made available for the public to download over the course of 2003. Briefly taken offline, it is now presented here in its entirety, complete with images and vast commentary on each selection. The 365 Days Project is part of UbuWeb's redesigned, newly-named and much-expanded Outsiders section. The 365 Days Project can be accessed at: http://ubu.com/outsiders/365/

"This marks the passing of a giant, as far as I'm concerned," Denny said last night of the talented, charismatic man who walked into his life nearly 50 years ago. Phyllis Uilani Kaahanui, Colon's wife of 30 years, said Colon died at The Queen's Medical Center of complications from diabetes.
