Quite a lot of decent (for once) musical suggestions, but quite a lot of mainstream stuff (Black Moutain ain't off the wall but Druganaut, live, at the Green Man last year was ace)

Shatner, singing Rocket Man, however, is.[/url]
Tom Waits?
Mr Agreeable
OOh you saw the Residents!!
How easy did you find it getting hold of tickets and was it a good gig?

Tipper and Si Begg.
Good choice grumm. Si Begg's bass makes me happy 🙂
Anyone know Bridge & Tunnel?
I know Bridge and Tunnel, no idea what, where or how though. Planet mu?
Not Planet Mu - used to be on Harmsonic. Very cool, almost ambient stuff. Somehow I've managed to own 3 albums by them without knowing a thing about them.
Just noticed, next to them in the rack Broken Spindles. They're worth checking if you like erm.. off the wall stuff 🙂

Maybe not off the wall, but "off the beaten track" mixed by Quantic is one of my most treasured CDs.
23 super rare funk/reggae/african cuts with no track listing. To this day me and two of my friends are still desperately trying to figure out who did the last tune, in the slim hope we can buy more of their stuff somewhere...
Roper, wan't that hard to get tickets, they played a hey-yuge venue in London (the Forum in Kentish Town, if you know it). It was more of a multimedia performance piece than a gig, if you know what I mean. Part of it was live performance, then they had odd little short films between. It was OK but having heard their bonkers first album (the one with the cover that is basically [url= 
]a Beatles album they've drawn on[/url]) I do get the impression they've mellowed with age...

Third Reich'n'Roll is probably my favourite of theirs but the whole apocalyptic bunnyman thing was meant to be awesome. I had a mate who went who raved about it for days. Cuoldn't make it myself and feel like I missed out
Heathenwoods, it was pretty fun (and quite creepy) but I wouldn't say it was properly gobsmacking. Then again I'm not that familiar with the Residents (I can't really get into their classic period stuff, it's a bit arch and synth-y) and tend to prefer shouty gigs that encourage the throwing of shapes, so I can well believe that other people raved about it.
13thfloormonk, have a gander here. No ID on the last track though:

I must admit that Black Mountain weren't quite what I expected, neither were Engineers who my local kiwi record man suggested were kinda ok. If I wanted Pale Saints lite I'd have bought Pale Saints.
I do still need to get Thee Hypnotics on cd.
My Bloody Valentine- especially Loveless
NoMeansNo - 0+2=1
The Mint Chicks -F*ck the golden youth.
Also Lou Reeds Metal Machine Music
Good luck to anyone who listens to the whole album.

Saw Stars of the Lid (with Lichens supporting) at St Martin in the Fields church last year. Really good gig.
Animal Collective and Battles are two favourites, particularly for eating up commuting road miles.
West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
