Most bizarre music you own?

I love music and sometimes the more obscure it is, the more I love it.  

Amongst my odd things in my collection are 
Peter Peter Ivers Band - Terminal Love

Lothar and the Hand People 



Machines - maybe the best track on the LP - Handsome lads, no?  What is the percussion in the background?  Doesn't sound like Gretsch or Ludwig

The Residents
Duck Stab


Includes such Epics as 
Constantinople (one of my ATFs)
Bach is Dead

Be careful trying to listen to this clip.  May cause or cure insanity.

I am a huge Gong fan - particularly the You trilogy.  Gong You is in my top 10 albums of all time
And while a casual listen to the music may not put it in the category of the stuff above, it is a trilogy about a planet where people fly around in teapots, have radio waves beamed into their heads, are guided by Pot Head Pixies, have octave doctors.... Clearly the effects of total abstinence of any recreational medicines.




Opening track of a great LP.  Lots of VCS 3 in there.

I have tons of others.  These are what popped into my head first.  

I learned most of what I know about music from purusing record stores for hours.  I have only run across one person in my life that had a similar taste in music, though he also liked Dylan.  

So, odd is the game - tell me your names!!!

Game on.  

Well, it's not bizarre, but very obscure ... I had 4 bootleg Beatles albums that to this day I've never heard on the net and none of the songs were on the Anthology collections. I had their Christmas Collection album also.

My favorite oddball record I have is an original 45 of Red Mascara doing "I'm From New Jersey". The words don't kick in until 1:02.

My brother has a 78 of Elvis singing Love Me Tender framed and hanging in his music room. He was a DJ (not Elvis, my brother hehe) in the 70's and has thousands of 33's/45's/78's. I grew up listening to his collection so not much strikes me as bizarre. :)

My dad's mid 1980's hard patched midi studio renditions of classic 1920's tin pan alley sheet music is some of the most bizarre stuff you are likely to hear.

Dad loved a melody.

To this day I still can't figure this stuff out.

Most peculiar Mama.

I picked up a Nonsuch Guide to Electronic Music thinking that it was actual music.  It wasn't.  It was 3 or 4 LPs of demos:  sine wave #5, sawtooth #7 in Am.  I knew all of that stuff already.  Might have listened once and put it into storage.  I'm sure it would have been worthwhile for someone without an electronics background, but it didn't help me at all. 

In the realm of early electronic music, I have LPs from Morton Subotnik and Tonto's Exlpanding Head Band. Oh, Tonto is also on CD.  As it turns out, the two members of Tonto are Robert Margouleff and Malcolm Cecil who were also big-time producers and engineers who did a lot of work with Stevie Wonder and other artists.  It's most likely Tonto on Living In The City.

"Pull My Finger"  99 "Cuts"  (a birthday gift from a friend.)



Plus several others - just haven't looked yet...

Try and listen to all of Zappa's "Thing Fish" in one sitting.

For someone who coined the phrase "No commercial potential", this album has to rank as his LEAST commercial effort ever.

I have done that exactly once.  While I appreciate the concept, I do not think I can listen to the Thing Fish from one end to the other again.




Book em Danno.  I know they workin on it.  In a labratory underneath Virginy.
