Hello everyone, I am a big fan of weird music and I thought it would be fun if there was a thread here for that. Please everyone feel free to share some of their favorite stuff.



Flying Lotus
Flying Lotus (or Flyo) is a really out there guy. He keeps it weird with his wobble hop beats that I am sure many of you have heard on adult swim bumps before. Its like if someone took a bunch of acid and decided to make hiphop but instead went into space for a while and came back to give us alien beats. It is so easy to get lost in his stuttery shamble tunes especially when stoned but just when you think your lost in a haze, wham a Thundercat or Kendrick Lamar verse out of nowhere! Make sure you check out his side project where he dips into rapping "Captain Murphy" for some more great songs. Here are some of my favorite songs:

Death Grips
This is music that your grandmother imagines all rap sounds like. Its like they grabbed a homeless man off the streets to ramble on a microphone while a schizophrenic bangs on a sampler all while Zach motherfucking "the dude from Hella" Hill just going like Animal from the Muppet Show on those drums. Maybe one of the most important rap groups today even though mainstream rap doesn't care about them. But it doesn't matter because I stay noided. Here are some real good songs:

Not really into rap, OP. Any suggestions for weird, out there rock n' roll?

I will do a little write up of them later but definitely check out Swans and also make sure to listen to some Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Vaporwave

Lets do something a little different. This time lets talk about a whole genre instead of individual groups. I got into this thanks to Future Funk, but Vaporwave is a whole movement that stretches far beyond just music to touch on art and fashion. Originally concepted by Ariel Pink with his Haunted Graffiti releases, Vaporwave takes corporate logos and sounds of muzak and culture jams it right back into those suit's assholes. That song you heard playing while placed on hold with comcast has now been repurposed to be the defiant sound of today's youth as we take back culture from the wasteland of reality tv and corrupt politicians. Look out for some of the leading artists in the movement like Macintosh Plus and Yung Lean. Here are some essentials to get you started in this odd genre:

Thank you. I will have to listen to this later because I can not turn my speakers up past 10% because the family is sleeping so I can hear what they are saying.



[b]Odd Future[b]

:stare: Odd Future (or Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, Golf Wang, and OFWGKTA as they have sometimes gone by) is made up of Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, and Mike G, singer, songwriter and rapper Frank Ocean, producers Left Brain, Syd Tha Kyd, Matt Martians, Hal Williams and other non-musical members, notably Jasper Dolphin, Taco Bennett, L-Boy and Lucas Vercetti and led by their creative head Tyler, The Creator. These guys are just some insane messed up geniuses and they even have their own show on Adult Swim. They rap about some seriously messed up stuff like rape over some of the most evil beats I have ever heard. This is what I put on for people when I meet them to see just how real they are. Here are some songs but just know that these are all very :nws::nws::nws:
