    I like the Grateful Dea.....uhhhh.....never mind...
    
    ;^)

I don't know this band but they are a favorite of a supervisor who used to
work in my group, and he is pretty weird (sorry Ed if you're reading this!)  :-)

anyway, they are called the Wicked Good Band ... has anyone heard of them?

Lisa

 King Crimson has to be the strangest. Especially the later albums.

    Mouth Music: Ancient traditional Gaelic (Scottish) music backed by
    synthesizers.  Neat stuff.
    
    Isao Tomita: several albums, several years old, usually classical
    pieces, completely sythesizer-based.  "Snowflakes are Dancing" is
    really neat - all Debussy.  Tomita got out of the record business and
    now does performance art (live).
    
    Michael Oldfield - Tubular Bells: This one was wierd to me mostly
    because I never saw "The Exorcist", which had part of this album as its
    theme music.  Friends of mine used to get rattled when I'd  play it,
    but basically it's a neat album in its own right.  I believe the album
    was out before the movie - it isn't just a 'soundtrack' album.

YES!  They're from Maine, a friend of mine at college used to know a couple of 
their songs word for word!  He used to sing one of them all the time, and I 
can't think of what it was, but I know it made people laugh!

Scott

Hey Scott, some people think Kate Bush is pretty weird.  ;^)

Weird bands/musicians I've listened to ... there's all the punk bands ....
How about The Shaggs, three sisters from some small town who did songs like
"Gimme Dat Ding" and "My Pal Foot-Foot."  The put out two albums ... the first
actually had a photo of the Shaggs, who all looked a bit like Benny Hill in
drag.  The second album was live, recorded supposedly at their town hall.
Terrible stuff.

There were a bunch of post-punk psychedelic (neo-psychedelic?) bands that
came out in the early '80s ... the Three O'Clock, Rain Parade, The Dream
Syndicate ... they faded away pretty quickly, but it was good stuff.  Julian
Cope's pretty popular these days, I guess ... he's a weird dude.  I want to
pick up his new album, "Peggy Suicide."

Then there's this band called Slipknot ;^)

Weird as in somewhat unusual:

	Soft Machine - I have worn-out LPs of the 1st and 3rd.  Strange 
	and marvelous music.

	Small Faces - Ogden's Nutgone Flake LP.  I *still* love to listen to 
	"Happiness Stan".

	Chester & Lester - Chet Atkins and Les Paul together...great stuff!

Weird as in downright strange:

	Captain Beefhart - but only in small doses

	Frank Zappa

    
    Here are some (IMO) weird bands that (sort of) remind me of each
    other and made it fairly big:
    
    B-52's - Planet Claire? Private Idaho? Rock Lobster? Whammy Kiss?
    
    Talking Heads - Making Flippy Floppy? 
    
    The Tom Tom Club - Wordy Wrappinghood?
    
    I like them all, they're just WEIRD!
    
    treeMON(floating this way and that)

    The other day, I heard an Al Green (former R&B/Soul singer) doing a
    cover of Talking Heads' "Take Me To The River", on my favorite local
    (community) radio station.  He sounded grate.
    
    Now THAT's wierd.  ;-)
    
    tim
    

    I have that "666" album too. Vangelis was in that band.
    
    Some other weirdos I thought of:
    
    Merrell Fankhauser and his bands (MU, Fapardokly, HMS Bounty)
    
    Steve Hillage
    
    Robyn Hitchcock and naturally his idol, Syd Barrett
    
    Yoko Ono - the 2nd side of Live Peace In Toronto used to make our dog
    howl
    
    The Bonzo Dog Band (don't these guys have their own note?)
    
    
    Scott
    

     I couldn't think of a better topic to stop being read only - I used to
buy the wierdest records I could find, like any early Mothers album, Wild Man
Fisher, Aoxomoxoa (hey, it was pretty wierd when it came out, inside and out),
an english organ trio called Egg....this reminds me, I should unpack my albums.
Most of them are pretty old (over 20 years), and probably lots of them are very
strange.

BTW, Al Green wrote "Take Me To The River".

Bruce

>BTW, Al Green wrote "Take Me To The River".
    
    Wow.  I had no idea (Obviously).  Neat.
    
    tim
    

	Probably beat me to it:
	
	Frank Zappa especially with the Mothers of Invention.  
	(I love FZ's music!)

	Wierd is hearing the organist at the Boston Garden doing 
	Touch Of Grey -> Bertha in between periods at a Bruins game!  ;-)

	Ken

How about "Atom Heart Mother" by Pink Floyd?  Great while lowering the
cholesterol.

	re: Bruce

	Wild Man Fisher!   A boot Zappa/Wild Man album I have is without
	doubt THE wierdest album I own.   

	Ken

	Yeah, Zappa is ground level weird for sure. Nothing like a good solid 
listen to "The Dangerous Kitchen", or, when things really get going, "Ride My 
Face To Chicago".


Fog_who_has_seven_Brand_X_Albums

    
    Captain Beefheart: "Making Love to a Vampire with a Monkey on My Knee"
    
     ...nutty stuff..My cousin and I used to listen to it when we were
    kids. I guess he was in the Mothers. That guy makes FZ look normal....
    
    Steve-O

RE: Bruins organist

He's been playing Dead tunes all season!  Last Friday I sat in the seats right 
next to him as he played Ripple (had the sheet music for this one) and ToG (no 
sheet music, I guess he knows it by heart!).  I was going to strike up a 
conversation with him between periods but he always had a bunch of young tykes 
around him and I didn't really want to shove them out of the way ;^)

Scott

    Geez, why don't we talk about weird...

    Barnes & Barnes - Fish Heads, I Had Sex on TV, and other cool tunes

    Anything I've heard by The Residents also qualifies.  The only stuff
    that I have is on one of the "Steal This Disc"s that Ryko puts out.

    What about Weird Al Yankovich?

    And fitting in with the holiday season, there's that perennial
    favorite, by Elmo and Patsy, "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer".

    Don

    Anything by Hawkwind.
    "Electric Music for the Mind and Body" by Country Joe & the Fish.
    Anything by the Electric Flag.
    
    If you like FZ strangeness (I do!) check out "Baby Snakes" on video.
    Best Clay-mation I've seen anywhere, among other strange things.
    
    (I remember 666, even have a copy of it on an old reel.)
    

    One of the wierdest bands I have seen lately was King Missle.
    They are a riot!!!  Here's some of the lyrics to one of their
    songs, Jesus was way cool.
    
    Jesus was way cool
    If he had wanted he could've turned wheat into Marijuana
    Sugar into cocaine
    Vitamine pills into amphetamines
    Jesus was way cool
    
    Jesus was way cool
    He could have scored more goals than Wayne Gretsky
    He could have played guitar better than Hendrix
    He could have baked the most delicious cake in the world
    Jesus was way cool
                                   
    Jesus was way cool
    Then some people got jealous of how cool he was
    and they hung him on a cross and killed him
    ...
    But he rose from the dead
    He rose from the dead and danced around
    That's so cool
    
    etc. etc.  something like that 

	What's wierd?  A good bit of what we listen to and think of as normal
is probably viewed as wierd by a good segment of the population.  I would have
to say that the wierdest stuff I listen to regularly is Laurie Anderson.  She
has done some great stuff, much of it wierd by many people's standards.

	"I met this guy, and he looked like he might have been a hat-check
	clerk at an ice rink.
	Which, in fact, he turned out to be.  And I said 'Oh-boy, right
	again!'"

	She also did a feature length video ("United States Live"?) that is
really bizarre.

	In the less well known catagory, Uncle Bonsai has done some wierd
lyrics, as well, though nicely so.

       Lou Reed's album called "METAL MACHINE MUSIC", sort of

    My eighth grade daughter's teacher, Mrs. Shropshire, claims to be one
    of the authors of this tune, and gets royalties every year whenever
    it's played.
    
    Don't know whether to believe her or not...but it's pretty wierd.
    
    tim
    

    Another weird one:
    
    Edgar (or Edgard) Varese.  Zappa used to put his quote "the present-day
    composer refuses to die!" on his albums.  He was most active in the
    30's to 50's, writing electronic symphonies.  Really strange stuff and
    its listenability depends on your state of mind.  I have one album of
    his compositions performed in 1959 by the NBC Radio Orchestra (I think)
    and they used all sorts of weird stuff like oscillators, generators and
    an electronic larynx.  My favorite piece is one he composed for the
    1939 world's fair.
    
    Anyone mention Brian Eno?  Check out Discreet Music.

    Reading .2 or something up at the beginning of this note reminded
    me that I used to have an 8 track of Bloodrock... I think it was
    actually a bootleg 8 track cause the cover was made out of some
    home made typed bright black light type stuff.... 
    
    I remember playing that song on there about some car accident as his
    girlfriend dies next time him..... my parents were not fond of that
    one I can tell you.....  My brother and I would play it just to bug
    'em.  We were nice boys, we used to cut the grass...  sorry, I
    digressed to a Zappa tune....another of my parents fav's.... ;-) !

    Try the white zone, you'll love it, it's a way of life...

    Don

    Any music is weird until you understand its conventions. Captain
    Beefheart doesn't sound weird to me anymore. Dead Can Dance do, but I
    think I like 'em, so they probably won't seem weird for long.
    
    Some elements of Charles Ives' music still seem weird, but not the
    things that seemed bizarre at first hearings.
    
    Paula Abdul sounds completely weird to me, and always will. Weird in
    the sense of sounding disembodied, devoid of emotion, completely
    decoupled from  any human element whatsoever--which is pretty weird for
    art, but all too common these days for musical product.
    
    I guess "Victim or the Crime" still sounds weird, but I *like* it.
    
    Killdozer! Check out Killdozer, especially the album "For Ladies Only",
    which is a collection of covers of seventies stuff we've heard hundreds
    of times ("American Pie", "Take the Money and Run", "Hush", and a bunch
    more) done as screaming grunge rock using the original arrangements.
    Hysterical on first listen, and it has an enduring power to blast out
    the mental fog left after an hour or so of "Classic Rock" radio fare. I
    pray they do an album of Zep covers with the same curative potency.
    
    John
    

Most Pink Floyd stuff qualifies as wierd, especially the pre-Dark Side of the 
Moon stuff.

Ummagumma - an album I haven't heard in years and would love to hear again.

Bill

>Ummagumma

I bought that on CD a while back ... the live side is great.

Weird new wave bands came out of LA ... anyone ever heard the Suburban Lawns,
starring lead singer Sue Tissue?

	"Under water, does it matter, anti-matter
	 nuclear reactor
	 boom boom boom boom
	 I'm a janitor, I'm a janitor ..."

 Or what about Flash in The Pan.
That sure was a strange album. 

    I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Poppa Pies yet ... ever hear their
    version of "Truckin'" ... now THAT'S weird.
    
    ... Bob
    

    How about "They Might Be Giants"?  Great phrasing and lyrics, even if a
    bit different...

    Don

    The Bobs!  The world's largest quartet, although I think they gave up
    this title because they're just 4 people now.  Great songs like "I used
    to be a hippie, then I was a stockbroker, now I am a hippie again",
    "Corn dogs" (with great lines like "I'll let you be macrobiotic if
    you'll just give me some pie"), and some really amazing covers of
    "Purple Haze", "Helter Skelter", "Psycho Killer", and "Come Together".
    
    Scott
    

    Hey I know the Bobs!  I picked up one of their albums 'cause it had a
    label on it that said "new wave a cappela"!

    Don

    Ceramony..by spooky Tooth is one of the weirdest for all who have not
    listened to it...my bro and i pulled it out over thanksgiving and
    laughed REAL hard.
    
    anything by the Art Ensamble of Chicago is way way way out there...
    
    Beefheart has his moments but there are some good elements..
    
    hozabout Illinois Speed Press
    or
    Man with Sister salvation on it
    or
    duke baxter singing EVERYONE KNOWS MATILDA..
    .."I went to to 32 street thought i'd get a bite to eat,
      saw a girl i'd like to meet...
    Everyone knows matilda...

    In the category of just plain wierd group names (although fairly

Funny thing!  I remember when the band you are talking about made it into the 
rolling stone's "new faces" column where they talk about new bands.  

About 12 or so years ago I bought a couple of compilation lp's entitled 
"metal for mutha's" :) no editorial comments please! :)  and there is
a band on the compilation with a great heavy blues tune (note not heavy
metal) called "blues in a".  

the bottom line is - either those guys transformed into an acoustical band
from England or they copped a little known bands name..

so Tim, I'm pretty sure that weird name wasn't even original...
just thought i'd tell somebody! 
bob

    The Liquid Squid 
    
    is a pretty weird name.  Nothing to  do with  blenders, I promise.
    
    Did someone already mention  Fetus off the Wheel ?
    
    					jon
    

    GNP (Gross National Productions) gets my vote.  They do a tune with
    Uncle Bisconne who looks through the magic toliet seat.  The music was 
    very good with a lot of brass.
    
    Jim 

    are these guys still around????? i remember seeing these guys with
    frank zappa at the fenway theater way back in the early 70's  they
    were wild....

WOW! I forgot about that.

    I think soo but since I have not been to the Berkley I can't be
    positive..is the berkley right around the corner from Symphony Hall

VNS TECHNOLOGY WATCH:                           [Mike Taylor, VNS Correspondent]
=====================                           [Littleton, MA, USA            ]

                           The Music of UGC 6697


    Lovers of off-beat music might enjoy listening to radio signals
    emanating from space that have been intentionally shifted here on
    earth into the audio range. Originally, astronomer Fiorella Terenzi
    thought the shift might help her in her research in acoustic
    astronomy. But then the possibility of using it commercially reared
    its head. Now her sounds, from radio galaxy UGC 6697 which is 180
    million light years away from earth, are available on cassette and
    compact disc as "Music from the Galaxies." Radio signals from UGC
    6697 emanating at 0.6, 1.4 and 5 GHz, and spectral and other data
    were collected by telescopes in the US, Germany, and Chile. Terenzi
    translated the signals into sound within the hearing range employing
    tools from the Computer Audio Research Laboratory and a program she
    designed in CMusic, a sound synthesis language.

    The six excerpts of transcribed data recorded in "Music from the
    Galaxies" sound like science fiction movie soundtracks. In some,
    familiar sounds and noises are discernible, like deep breaths in
    "Sidereal Breath", several out-of-tune basses in "Galactic Beats",
    or a tropical jungle full of noisy birds and animals in "Collision."
    In others, the sounds are more unusual. In "cosmic Time", for
    instance, Terenzi laid an original score based on transcribed
    galactic sounds. The score is performed by a synclavier imitating
    violins, drums, and a saxophone.

    The 40 minute tape is distributed by Island Records and is available
    in stores in the US for $8 to $14. Or contact David Reisner, Terenzi
    Music, 213-207-3004.

Sounds like someone is making money off of Space...

    I agree that weird is relative (in my case several), but I was surprised
    no mention of Sun Ra.  The eccentric jazzer who really, truly believes
    he descended to Earth from another planet, and who makes great eccentric
    records with his Arkestra, on his Saturn label (also Delmark, Impulse,
    German BASF, others).  Headdresses, flowing robes, ...
    
    True believers' favorites include Heliocentic Worlds Vols. 1 & 2 (Vol.1
    best of all), Magic City, Sunrise in Different Dimensions (including a
    tribute to big-band-swing inventor c.1932 Fletcher Henderson, who Ra
    actually worked with[!!]).  Only "Sunrise" is on CD so far.

    I don't know if I count myself truly a fan, except he does tremendous
    roots tributes, and there can't be many like him back on the farm.  Also
    the Arkestra includes a greatly underrated sax player who can burn it,
    John Gilmore.

    I read on USENET where someone lucked into getting him to play at their
    wedding.  Way cool.              - Jay

    Sounds like my kind of guy actually :-) ... I'll have to check him out.

    The Violent Femmes!  From early in the Skate/Thrash/Hardcore scene
                   "Blister In The Sun",ect.
    
                 Even for thrash, that is weird stuff
     
           (maybe I shouldn't call it thrash, or even hardcore,
            alot of acoustic tunes--"softcore"?)   

    listened to Temple of the Dog with my 15 yr old today at lunch, not bad
    really, sorta Led Zepish. It's a tribute album to a dead friend 
    that Soundgarden and Pearl Jam did in 1990. (actually there was no
    Pearl Jam then, but they evolved out of this group of musicians)
                                         rfb ("I'm growin hungry...")

I caught part of the video for "Temple of the Dog," yesterday ... the
lead singer has to be the same guy as in Pearl Jam, right?  Great voice.

-dc

    there's 2 lead singers in T of the D. The dude from Pearl jam and the
    singer from Soundgarden. 
    
    My daughter just got tapes of a band called Nine Inch Nails...ohhh my
    aching head! %^)

none-the-less entertaining.   :-)

CD Review

Jefferson Airplane Loves You
Box Set 3 CDs/3 Cassettes  RCA 61110-2

"Jefferson Airplane Loves You"

  ...and if you love *them*, if you're a dyed-in-the-wool Airplane
fanatic, you've got to get this deluxe 3 CD Box set!

  The title refers to a promotional bumper sticker RCA had made up on
the release of their first album. RCA has done right by them once more.

  The whole package is lovingly put together from the classic Jim
Marshall photo on the cover, through the exquisite 30-page 4-color booklet,
to the colorful jewel-box inserts and picture CDs themselves.

  If you are looking for a definitive Jefferson Airplane "hits" package
get "Worst of..." or "2400 Fulton Street". If you're searching for some
real nuggets, this is the collection. (I've got a tape that purports to
be "After Bathing at Baxter's" outtakes but sounds more like some bozo
just re-recorded the left and right channels.) Although there are quite
a few existing album cuts, the previously unreleased songs, a nine song live
set taken from the Fillmore Auditorium in 1967, very different alternate
takes and mixes and stuff from the as-yet-unreleased-on-CD "Bark" and
"Long John Silver" make it worth every cent of the $40 price tag. The
over three and a half hour set is arranged in a chronological fashion from
Marty Balin's first recording through his last live appearance (not
counting Starship or '89 tour) with the 1972 version of the band.

  Here is the song list:

  The sound quality is excellent and the alternate takes are superb.
"The Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil" is 12 minutes long, starting with an
extended feedback intro. The 12-string guitar bridge is more prominent
in the mix, Grace trills "Arrrrrrrmadilllllloohoohoo" and the middle jam
opens up quite a bit. An extended Jorma solo with a different coda ends
the song. The cuts from the Quadrophonic "Volunteers" (mixed here as
it would sound if you played it in stereo) are exciting, alternate guitar
riffs from Jorma, totally different phrasing by Grace on "Hey Fredrick".
The live Woodstock tracks are interesting, the Fillmore items are a
real slice of life, there is definately audience reaction to the
then-hit "White Rabbit".

  I swear on the Grace/Zappa "Would You Like a Snack?" she says "Clap
Off, Clap Off" just like the obnoxious TV commercials. The single
version of "Martha" opens with some percussive Jack Casady bass that
slides right into the song and stays solid throughout. "Emergency" is a
Marty number from the late sixties PBS documentary "Go Ride the Music"
which will hopefully see release on video someday. (The tape was
supplied by Jazz Casual Productions, Inc., I'm assuming that its
somehow involved with the Ralph J. Gleason estate since he had a TV
show by that name and produced "Go Ride...")

  The included album cuts, (I could have done without repeats of some of
the "Surrealistic Pillow" stuff), include tasty tracks like "In Time"
and "Two Heads". It's nice to hear "When the Earth Moves Again" and
"Pretty as You Feel" on CD and I can't help but wonder if Darby Gould's
versions of "Law Man" with the current Starship prompted the inclusion of
the original on this retrospective.

  The enclosed booklet is very informative, the text is written by
Jeff Tamarkin of GoldMine magazine who does a mini-bio of each member
and includes some interesting tidbits. The pages literally vibrate with
the colors you remember from Fillmore posters (although for some reason
the colors on Wes Wilson's "The Sound" poster are not the original).
Many never-before-seen photos adorn the pages, all captioned and many
serve as backgrounds for the text. There is a discography and an exhaustive
track listing including personnel for each song. And fittingly, the set
is dedicated to the memory of Bill Graham.

  RCA has seen fit to include a business-reply postcard questionaire
with the box set. I'd urge you to fill it out and ask them to release
"Bark", "Long John Silver","Sunfighter","Baron Von TollBooth",
"Bodacious D.F.", unreleased/live Hot Tuna & a Grunt Records compilation
domestically on CD. It would be nice if they could release any live
Airplane tapes that exist, like the Dead's "From the Vault" series.

   Fly Jefferson Airplane!

This is one thing that impressed me most when listening to the live
cuts ... how great a bass player Casady was (and still is).  Definitely
ahead of his time.

I definitely recommend this box set for you Airplaneheads!
