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.
