What's the weirdest shit you listen to?

[Direckshun]

I'm going to be shameless for a minute and ask for your most unusual music recommendations.

I'm in need of some new stuff that doesn't sound like anything else in my collection.

Throw me your weirdest shit. It doesn't even have to be good -- just, ****ing strange music.

YouTubes are encouraged, but just tell me the artist/album/song and I'll look it up on my own.

ANY and ALL recommendations are welcomed. Expand me.

About anything by HOS (Hearts Of Space) some pretty weird trippy stuff but most is very melodic and peaceful.

I like the Tibetan Bronze bells, Russian Orthodox Cathedral Music, Baroque Voices to name a few.

This isn't Hearts of Space per se but close enough to get an idea:

How about Severed Heads? They are pretty trippy.

[La literatura]

It's not weird, but it's definitely not mainstream: Alias and Why?

Indie, whiteboy hip hop.

You'll probably recognize his name from tons of movie soundtracks and producer credits for other artists, but his own music is incredible in its own right, wanna take a trip to the ninth ring of saturn without leaving the couch? then check out some Brian Eno...

This is a bit hit or miss with me. I liked a couple of the tracks (loved the second one).

These are both excellent tracks! The second one had a warm IDM vibe to it.

The first was just an indulgent mess.

Moar!

Jay McShann - Swingmatism - Based out of KC


Jimmy Lunceford - Tain't What You Do


Lionel Hampton - Lavender Coffin


Lavern Baker - On Revival Day


Louis Prima & Keely Smith (his wife) - Embraceable You


Ella Fitzgerald - Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home


Andrews Sisters & Danny Kaye - Civilization

All great stuff. Thank you.

That Lionel Hampton song kicked seven levels of ass. Do you have any more you'd recommend?

I will never admit which ones were which.

I hadn't heard of him until I saw this documentary about him.

That is an extraordinary song.

Fantastic recommendation.

I feel racist having simply watched that.
