E.g. back in the early days of this board I learned boatloads from Clone about psychedelic music. Now if yr interested in sharing new music you'd be better off pissing in to a black hole than coming here. And apparently people like it that way.
Anywho, in answer to the OP question I don't really know that there is one song that I have to make everyone shut up for when it comes on the radio.
But last week was the annual guest appearance by Tom Lax (guy who runs Siltbreeze Records) on Brian Turner's show on WFMU and I always shut up an listen to whatever he plays.

I have been having trouble finding new good music, honestly. And I do think the board activity around discussing weird and awesome shit has diminished a lot. Just since I've been here. So I get it, and it is frustrating.
But it's not this thread's fault. And surely we all like weirdass music. I have Ashtray Navigations playing as I type, and earlier today I played the most recent People Skills album. Not that that stuff is that weird, but it's closer to what you're talking about. That music is still of interest to me, but I've been having a really hard time finding anything new that is in that vein. Anything new at all, really, outside of electronic music.
Anyway, we all like that stuff, but we can still shoot the shit about the lame music. Which, if you think about it, is actually pretty weird in itself. It's weird that I love Bette Davis Eyes. Weirder than my loving Wolf Eyes.
Maybe we should make a more concerted effort to trade ideas and expose one another to new things. I'd be all for that. But most people don't even come here with any regularity anymore. So.. I dunno.
ETA: I was referring to the Blackest Ever Black PEOPLE SKILLS. There's another band by the same name that sounds like absolutely nothing. Don't be tricked by streaming services into thinking they're the same. Ick.
