You must hear this new weird music

"dissonant banjo". It's OK, you can just say, "banjo".

This list, and your channel in general, are a treasure beyond price. There's so much really interesting music happening now, but it tends to be hidden, and you uncover it for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I saw Diamanda Galás in 1991 because I’d heard of her casually and read about the Plague Mass, which was so confrontational, which we needed that back then so much. It was too intense for some members of the audience that were expecting something entirely different, and some left. Both the performance and the fact some folks left has remained with me.

Love this month's choices! So many new artists and so much music to explore. One of the most refreshing and exhilarating channels on youtube! Thanks so much.

Samuel Hällkvist’s song had me singing Frame By Frame immediately!

glad people are still being inspired by Naked City in 2024

Would it be possible for you to add track name/band & rate onscreen as you did in other videos? It’s easier to follow along and also easier for us non native speakers… 🙏🙏🙏

"Rate Limit". Love it! Thanks. Kinda makes me think of a DX7 demo song that Squarepusher shat on.

The Diamanda Galas credits Ronnie Earl as the composer because it's his original song that she's riffing off of, kind of like the stuff on her album "The Singer".

You always come up with the best compilations of weird music! Fan of the show.

Todd Clouser, John Medeski, JT Bates LOCALS! Todd is playing the Lakeside Guitar Festival not far from me on Friday August 9th!

LOVE this series! Such cool music. 🙏

Oooh I quickly changed my usual 1.25 to “normal,” which is cracking me up right now

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing! I always love checking out new weird and avant-garde music. Reinier Baas’ work is really cool.

☺ Nice selection! But i'm noticing that there are not a lot (if at all?) of electronic artists/music in this (and previous) selection… There are a lot of great "unconventional" electronic music out there 😊In Japan, try "Alternative 3", "3.6.9." or "The Animal's Opinion" by Haruomi Hosono -- "Theme From Barricade" or "Steel Necro Music II" by Hajime Tachibana -- "エジソン電" or "有楽町で溶けましょう (A NightClub Massacre mix)" or "Pomato" (the version from the "虹" single) by Denki Groove (電気グルーヴ) -- there are also a few tracks by Ryuichi Sakamoto that are kinda "weird" like "Exhibition", "Water is Life", "Coro", "Rainforest" or "Not The 6 O'Clock News" (and quite a few others) btw, there is a Japanese band called ヒカシュー (Hikashu) from late 70s that is contemporary of early DEVO or Residents stuff from that era (indie rock, sorts of), and they did a few weird tracks too, on some of their albums…😄 I listen to a lot of stuff, including a lot of Japanese artists and some of them can be kind of weird, sometimes…

3:01 Wow. That is so intense and unique. If it were a candy bar it would be a chocolate crunch bar with ghost peppers and rock salt carmel.

Schoenberg's 12 tone technique produced similar organized sound presentations but his producers found that audiences didn't perceive them as musical. It would be a challenge to find anyone who is willing to perform them today and doubtful that, apart from intellectual curiosity, audiences would be patient enough to sit through it.

There's a lot of similarity to the selections: odd times, arhythmic, complex lines, radical audio juxtaposition, hyper tempos, unrelenting complexity, computer production manipulations, fusion drum parts, etc.

Always an adventure to explore new tracks with you, I get a kick out of watching you groove to the odd time signatures, reminds me of a few of my buddies when we spend late nights trading tracks and trying to outdo each other on the weird scale. The vocals on that Diamanda Galas track put me in the mind of Jimmy Scott

That second track made my ears bleed but it also has a Naked City feat. Yamatsuka Eye vibe which I dig.
