So if we're going with favorite weird tunes, this little 7" should always be included. I opted not to go with the better known 'Skeletons' in favor of the B-side: https://youtu.be/FfCtbhcPSEs

Then, from about the same era, there's this one. No idea it actually had its own music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNqhSRJCJuc

I'm sure I could come up with a few more, given some time.

"is the fact that Crispin Glover and I are not married." Well, duh. Everyone here knows you're getting married to Shawn Fain, right?

Who knew? For five minutes GG Allin turns into an actual human and does Warren Zevons's "Carmelita".

The hypodermic in the headstock is a classic GG touch tho.

They've been relegated to the cliche example of strange music.

Still great, nonetheless.

This siciliana from a concerto for three keyboardsd by Bach may not seem that strange, but it wanders all over the place harmonically - in a vsry strange way

Spiro! Count me a fan. Also, why are the crazy people so close to power? (NOT speaking of the Biden Admin.)

This is from a channel called “The Snark” so he should feel at home here.

Politics is not his normal subject focus but this election and the new ticket inspired this… https://youtu.be/-Hk-E5wyNA4?si=QLr07lmfxOYvXKiK

Enjoy and share

Is anyone else picking up the overtly racist message in the D.A.R.E. video? Sad story about a young white kid pushed into drugs by forces beyond his control peppered with shots of Black & latino kids getting violently handled by police.

Plus, you got the wrong Jan Terri song!
