Music What's the weirdest shit you listen to? - Page 7

Direckshun · 02-11-2013, 09:13 PM

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.

Yeah! My friend showed me that windowlicker vid. Crazy!

Same night he played these for me.

Split Lip Rayfield.

The Legendary Shack Shakers, they broke up recently. Apparently The Colonel, lead vocals/harmonica, is a bit of a prima donna. Yea, I don’t see it either but whatever.

I think we may need to define weird a little bit. While I love Split Lip and Mountain Sprout and Buckethead and P Funk, I don't find any of them to be that weird, musically. They're amazing and awesome, but they aren't really WEIRD.

Fiery Furnaces are weird.

To me, weird is stuff that I can hardly listen to at times because it's so offputting and strange, but it has some ineffable appeal that pulls me back again and again.

Dirty Projectors and Fiery Furnaces are awesome at that. They can write completely engaging pop songs and hooks that suck you in, then they intentionally **** them all up and push you away only to settle into some other engaging pop hook that brings you back in.

Sure, but just as an example pr_capone was posting big band/swing earlier and while I don’t find that even slightly “weird” I do allow for the possibility that not everyone grew up in the house of a band teacher that had a full collection of it on vinyl and would regularly fill the house with music like that playing on one of those huge old console stereos.
So I’ve been going mostly with out of the mainstream and letting others determine if that’s “weird” to them.

Yeah. I don't think big band/swing is weird either. That was another head scratcher for me.

You have to admit though that the Split Lip Rayfield bass player pounding on an instrument he made from and old Mercury gas tank, a chunk of hickory and a piece of weed whacker line is at least a little weird.

On a side note, the lady that’s teaching Mrs. Radar guitar learned from Kirk Rundstrom before he was diagnosed with cancer.

Radar Chief · 02-13-2013, 10:14 AM

Ha, hunart.

I once hosted a BBQ for Split Lip in Manhattan, KS. They were in town playing at the bar I frequented, and were good friends with my roommate. This was back when Kirk was still alive. Very good bunch. They had Stitchgiver at my place, jamming in the back yard.

My avatar is actually from some SLR album art.

KChiefer · 02-13-2013, 12:41 PM

Mentioned them earlier, but thinking more, these albums have some of my favorite "noise."

That sounds like a blast.
