How about Ware wa Seidai no Kyojyo zo by Masayoshi Urabe? Totally intense, violent and beautiful solo saxophone/harmonica/metal chains record.

Boredoms: Pop Tatari.

The perfect synthesis of avant-garde and funny. It's utterly terrifying and equally hilarious!

finally, someone gave a germane reply ^^^

hmmm...now let's see...avantgarde & funny

Laurie Anderson, of course

 

I don't know what kind of rock you people are living under...I stop by here & start reading for two minutes & have already been dissuaded

...maybe check some Negativland, Daniel Johnston &/or Terry Riley

ubuweb's servers are back up;
they've got some new Henri Chopin .movies too














Jill Carroll lives

Don't know if it can be considered avant-garde, but Toychestra sure is strange and funny. Some girls making music entirely with toys, for instance these little toy pianos and fake plastic guitars, firetruck models with sound, the list goes on...

 

 

[!@#$%!]

this is a weird thread. not sure what people mean by avant-garde here. the initial request is weird enough. i don't mean weird in a good way just scattered i guess. anyway...

check out the tzadik catalog... there will be something there.

He's a wise man that A2600.

Not strictly 'funny' funny, or terribly avant-garde, but Roland Kirk has some excellent nose-flute solos at which you can but laugh.

[_slavo_]

My pick would be:

Francisco Lopez - Untitled #89
Philip Jeck/Claus von Webber - Viny'l'isten
Philip Jeck - Vinyl Coda 1,2
Otomo Yoshihide - Guitar Solo Live
Taylor Deupree - N

nice ones, rather droney and not too claustrophobic.

[Glice]

Oh, god yeah. Jeck is an excellent call, very well done.

[_slavo_]

Jeck is one of my all-time favourites.
Have seen him playing live 2 yrs ago...a wonderful gig!

he was looping old hard-rock vinyls

[Glice]

Yeah... I think he's ideal for this thread, because he is fairly avant-garde in so far as there's not many who've done a similar thing, and he also make the most beautiful music. All entirely improvised as well. He is one of the better guys around at the moment. I only have one album, and it's at a mate's house, I should really get it back... (He's got my copy of Berlin as well, now I think about it. Bastard).

[Glice]

Godspeed are in no way anything like avant-garde. Listen to them by all means, but whatever you do, don't call them avant-garde.

[Tokolosh]

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica.
It still amazes me when I listen to it.
Way ahead of it's time!

[A Thousand Threads]

What about some Tony Conrad

Four Violins is amazing

that's true. Godspeed ain't no avant-garde. they were post-rock.
