What's the weirdest shit you listen to?
 

I'm going to be shameless for a minute and ask for your most unusual music recommendations.

I'm in need of some new stuff that doesn't sound like anything else in my collection.

Throw me your weirdest shit. It doesn't even have to be good -- just, ****ing strange music.

YouTubes are encouraged, but just tell me the artist/album/song and I'll look it up on my own.

ANY and ALL recommendations are welcomed. Expand me.

Animal Collective. Their new stuff is downright melodic compared to their older material. Still a fun listen.

Probably Skrillex.

Oh, and Ace of Base.

Weird huh? Here's some weird shit. Hope you enjoy. Oh, and like phish said Animal Collective deserves a serious nod too.

Also, Jandek. Look him up. Pretty odd.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jdBfdVD3Kno" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Love this. Thanks for the recommendation.

The whole album is ****ed. Haven't given it a listen in a couple years. Glad someone can enjoy it.

Gogol Bordello

Aerosmith

Recommendations? Animal Collective has like eight albums.

I already have Sung Tongs (one of my favorites), Feels, and Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Mazzy has some weird shit.


I love it. Talk about relaxing music.

God, that is gorgeous.

GREAT recommendation. Is Xiu Xiu worth pursuing? What other songs/albums from them might you recommend?

Keep it up, folks.

Have you ever heard this cover of Sabbath's War Pigs?

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sEIj9vJoOCM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Point me in a direction -- the guy's got a thirty year discography.

Erm...

...that's pretty weird. But not a good weird. LMAO

Point me in a direction. He's got a lot of material.

I've enjoyed what I've heard from him in the past. What might you recommend?

Mazzy Star? I YouTube'd it -- was pretty ordinary.

If that's wrong, just link me up to something good.

That is AWESOME. How much fun is that.

Great recommendation.

I only own Knife Play. I can't speak to their entire catalog, but that album is worth giving a spin.

My favorite music of all time. Big Band.

Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen - Performed by Janis Segal in the movie Swing Kids (really a fantastic musical with Christian Bale & Robert Sean Leonard of Wilson fame on House).

If you want more I'll post more.

It's very mellow, but it's the weirdest stuff I listen to.

I am a Alice n' Chains, Pearl Jam, STP guy, though.

Scott Walker is pretty weird, but still a fun listen.

Sorry, I don't know how to imbed, but you should watch the video as well it adds to the experience. Check out Merzbow if you are into some harsher noise type stuff.

Going to be straight with you, man. All that stuff is amazing.

You need to check out the Bryan Ferry Orchestra:

Please, capone, feel free to provide a ton of shit. I really enjoyed it. I hestitate to say which songs I enjoyed more than the others because (a.) I enjoyed them all, and (b.) I don't want to influence what music you're willing to share.

Fire away.

I've heard some Merzbow. Really intense shit. If you have an album or song to recommend, please do so. He's made like 50 albums.

As for Scott Walker, I am a huge fan of The Drift, the only album of his I've listened through. You're right, he is definitely out there. Really challenging music.

Edit: I'm listening through "Epizootics!" right now, and it is gorgeous. Any more recommendations, fire away.

Does Cake count?


It's definately weird.

Saw them live a few years ago,the sounds they make with their trombones are great,here's a few more of their covers I'm sure you know but never heard quite like this...

Quite old now but every so often I still give it a listen

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hhBG1ilB3ao" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm well versed on Cake. I had all their albums upon release up until Pressure Chief.

Oldie.

But a goodie.

Wow. I thought I listened to some weird shit. You guys are off the damn walls. Where did you find this stuff? I'm going to spend a lot of time looking through this.

Direkshun, I apparently listen to pretty mainstream shit, but here are my off the beaten path recommendations...

Taking Back Sunday - All their albums are good, but I like the first and second ones the best.

OAR - I'm sure you know them

If you haven't checked out the Piano Guys, do it.

You're probably not into Country but check out Turnpike Troubadours Diamonds and Gasoline album. Along with Jason Boland Pearl Snaps.

I'll do some more thinking on it. I'm sure there is some more stuff that I could come up with.

Maybe not so much weird as different but Alabama 3 is a fav of mine.They have a lot of different sounds and you probably know them best if you ever watched The Sopranos as they sang the opening song Woke Up This Morning.

Daniel Johnston. He's a folk singing Christian fundamentalist with Bi-polar. I really like his early stuff, he played his music on old out-of-tune pianos and guitars. He would record a bunch of songs on to cassette tapes and pass them out. Then, he would do it again because he didn't have a way to dub.

Stereolab can piss people off at the party, but if nobody kills it once you hit 5 minutes it turns into a pretty cool dance jam.

The Flaming Lips are obviously weird. Animal Collective was too weird for me so I haven't listen to them much so I settle for Broken Social Scene.

If you ask my kids, they would probably say the weirdest stuff I listen to is Shonen Knife, a Japanese power pop girl band.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ADo6wawOUFo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

My favorite Butthole Surfers song.

Another band I really like that some people seem to think is weird is the Cowboy Junkies

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x4XVJj4jER4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I think "Strawberry" is my favorite Butthole Surfers song

As some may know I’m into Rockabilly. About a month ago I picked up a bass so I can learn some rockabilly slap and Mrs. Radar has requested that I learn this song. That’ll take a while though, I’m not nearly good enough yet.

MGMT's Congratulations

About anything by HOS (Hearts Of Space) some pretty weird trippy stuff but most is very melodic and peaceful.

I like the Tibetan Bronze bells, Russian Orthodox Cathedral Music, Baroque Voices to name a few.

This isn't Hearts of Space per se but close enough to get an idea:

How about Severed Heads? They are pretty trippy.

It's not weird, but it's definitely not mainstream: Alias and Why?

Indie, whiteboy hip hop.

You'll probably recognize his name from tons of movie soundtracks and producer credits for other artists, but his own music is incredible in its own right, wanna take a trip to the ninth ring of saturn without leaving the couch? then check out some Brian Eno...

This is a bit hit or miss with me. I liked a couple of the tracks (loved the second one).

These are both excellent tracks! The second one had a warm IDM vibe to it.

The first was just an indulgent mess.

Moar!

All great stuff. Thank you.

That Lionel Hampton song kicked seven levels of ass. Do you have any more you'd recommend?

A couple of those were pretty solid.

A couple of those were awful.

I will never admit which ones were which.

That is an extraordinary song.

Fantastic recommendation.

Heh.

I've enjoyed my fair share of Ween. Hadn't heard that last track though. Pretty cool.

I feel racist having simply watched that.
