F&TU are/ were a very good band indeed. John Peel tended to play them a lot... somehow they're 'weird' without being incredibly annoying.

5. renaldo and the loaf - struve n snurf

I don't get this band at all. A mate of mine is very into them, and I just think they're crap. Still, horses for courses and so on.

I think a lot of the outsider type stuff should qualify as pretty 'out there'. Certainly the Shaggs and Jandek if nothing else. I don't really do lists though.

atsonicpark · 06.17.2007, 03:32 PM

awww, renaldo and the loaf rule balls

Glice · 06.17.2007, 03:43 PM

Meh. But on the other hand, that Jon record is a genuinely strange thing indeed. Someone played me another of the Tzadik 'outsider' series (or whatever it was called) with someone talking in their sleep. That disturbed me somewhat.

Oh, and the most weird record I can think of is that Conet project number stations box set. Incredibly listenable, hopelessly weird.

atsonicpark · 06.17.2007, 04:39 PM

if anyone knows what record glice is talking about (the talking in their sleep one) please let me know.

hmm.. i really love renaldo and the loaf. i'd reccomend arabic yodeling to anyone. just lots and lots of instruments (some home made) playing reall crazy fruity melodies over tightly-constructed but lofi songs. tons of interesting sounds. never gets boring. i dunno. good band.

thinking about this thread some more, it alway seems derogatory to me to say something is "out there". it's just music, for christ sakes. but, again, using my basis of "stuff most people wouldn't hear every day", i'll reccomend: cereberus shoal (epic folky complex .. i don't even know how you'd describe some of their records to someone), experimental dental school (really well-written songs.. with circus organ and tinny skronk guitar device; great band!), invincible czars (another weird circus band), chromelodeon (a weird prog video game band with robot vocals), rah bras (ranging from operatic shoutalongs to robot vocals with synth breakdowns -- great!), plus-tech squeezebox (EVERY SINGLE MUSICAL GENRE compressed into 2 minute japanese pop songs), and the sun city girls (you know them right?), harry partch (home made instruments sounding like they're constantly going out of tune playing classical epics), neptune (home made instruments playing dark boogie woogie), tinklepotty (like mr. bungle but a bit crazier), maybe even that self record "gizmogdetry" where everything is toy instruments.. so yeah. good music. but just kinda.. odder than most?

but see, i'd classify "out there" more as something like spiderland.. records that really took a lot out of the musicians.. supposedly, everyone in the band had a neverous breakdown while recording that album.. that's fucking out there.

and as far as butthole surfers go, i think pioughd is a bit more out there than locut abortion technician. especially when you consider it's the first thing they released for a major label...

also, i'm stupid, can't believe i forgot shaggs and jandek... also: wesley willis, obviously.

There was a magnificent incident that happened to me last year, i had just bought They Were Wrong So We Drowned by Liars and was playing it loudly from my room, and this girl came past and went "You listen to some SHIT music you know". At this point i knew i liked this album.

atsonicpark · 06.17.2007, 05:40 PM

haha. she's right though. that album is kinda crappy! ... i HATED it when it first came out, not just cuz i was expecting another "Dance punk classic".. i just listened to it and was like, "wow, there are no songs on this. it's just a bunch of awful repeated noises and bullshit." in time, i've grown to appreciate it more and recognzie there are at least 3 just classic songs on it. but it's still pretty weak. the opening song and closing songs, in particular, are quite bad.

Don't reply to dazedcola's threads. He's a robot. Seriously, have you ever seen him post anything other than making a thread? He doesn't even post in his own threads.

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.17.2007, 07:13 PM

do you think he's a Next Gen Spam ?

Yes, I have.

In fact, the second post on this page.

StevOK · 06.17.2007, 07:53 PM

He's not spam, he just makes identical threads on all of the message boards he posts on. OK, so maybe he posted this once, but look at his post count versus his thread count.

So what ? Many of these threads are interesting, it doesn't matter if he posts in it again or not.

From the Tzadik website:

Dion McGregor dreams out loud, and his dreams are not very pretty. Tzadik invites you to eavesdrop on the horror in Dion McGregor’s mind. In 1964 ten of Dion’s tape-recorded dreams were released on album and quickly dropped out of print. This CD is it’s sequel, drawn from the same source material – the spoke-aloud dreams of Dion McGregor as taped by his roommate Michael Barr between 1961 and 1967. Documented with extensive photos and a long essay by Dion scholar Phil Milstein, this is the ultimate document of the creativity of the human subconscious. A modern masterpiece.

Catalogue number 7404

I might get my own copy while I'm here...

Edit: In case anyone other than me cares, the above is copied directly from the website, rather than my own hand. These things can make me lose sleep.

LittlePuppetBoy · 06.18.2007, 08:18 PM

I don't consider Sgt. Peppers all that "out there". It's pop, not avant-garde. I am glad that Locust Abortion Technician is on the list, but what about Bad Moon Rising?

ZEROpumpkins · 06.19.2007, 04:43 AM

Primus get out there. Not sure if that's what you mean.

atsonicpark · 06.19.2007, 09:27 AM

thank you glice. gettin it.

SuperCreep · 07.18.2007, 05:57 AM

Uh, Zeit?

Jandek?

THE RESIDENTS?!

This list is balls.

The only one I agree on is The Faust Tapes.

Also, for some, if not many of the artists on the list, their weirdest is not mentioned.
For instance, Thing-Fish is Zappa's "most out there" record.
