A Newer, Weirder Music Thread

[Irishslappop]

I've always been a huge fan of the strange and unusual
While this interest definately wasn't developed from the consuption of dank ass buds, that spurred it on without a doubt .

Post some of your favorite "not so usual" music that you like.
some of my favorites include:
Nuclear Rabbit
Primus
Anything with Les Claypool
Mr. Bungle
Fantomas
gogol bordello
Frank Zappa


hope you guys got some weird ones

"Lily Was Here", this is a beautiful saxaphone-driven song by Candy Dulfer, written and guitared by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame

"Better Than" by John Butler Trio, a funky banjo-driven song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGG4feQODxM

"Everything I Said" by The Cranberries. Im not a big fan of Zombie or whatever, but some of their lesser-known songs are just beautiful

"Summertime" by The Sundays. My mates give me shit for liking this song because of its lame happy kinda nature but i love it, it reminds me of drinking at the local marina in the summer time

"Here's Where The Story Ends" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n35C0j3LLB0
"Cry" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQhNhDN5mzI

Yes, Frank Zappa is damn good. Oh, and Yes. They really know how to orchestrate a song. Tales from Topographic Oceans is just a great album.
Zappa is excellent, and so is his stunt guitarist Steve Vai. I do not like when Vai sings, but his guitar playing is very wild.
Joe Satriani has some of the best music around. Incredible guitarist and his songs are so perfect.

hey irish
i saw frank zappa back in 84 i think in phoenix at the celebrity theater. he was so cool.
was like a conductor for his band until a guitar solo was in order, and he'd strap it on and blow your mind. a virtuoso.

[Tarkus]

[Farmer John]

King Crimson

[Tarkus]

Yeah, King Crimson is good. I saw Adrian Belew with Eric Johnson a few years back, and man did he suck. Adrian was horrible, I honestly felt bad for him. If I got up on stage and was that bad, I would be so depressed.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown was pretty wild. Interesting stuff there.

Any Eric Johnson fans heard any of his work with the Electromagnets?? Good stuff, damn good.
