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

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...
