You know; the kind of thing that pops up unexpectedly when you're looking for something on Youtube, or on an advert/film/tv show, Which you actually really like!
And disturbingly, this:
😯 Ifmy neigbour gets passive-agressive again about my music in the workshop benath her brat's bedroom, I shall fire up the big amp and play this...
Einsturzende Neubauten. Bliss.
When I was a student many many (ahem) moons ago I stumbled across Yello. Brilliant!!
This is glorious:
Love that Pollywogs video. 😀
Forst saw this many years ago on alate night music show; didn't then see it for years, until Youtube thankfully reunited us.
That [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tune-association-threadits-friday-and-im-bored/page/290 ]pac-man tune[/url] that jivehoneyjive posted on the song association thread is ace. Similarly, I once spent a happy afternoon exploring Chiptune after a mention by someone either on here or the avclub. Happy times..
also the weird, weird world of Tobacco (possibly "NSFW", as i had to log into youtube for it)
Couple of punks at work play this a lot, and I've grown to like it (and the band) loads:
The link I cocked up would be this..
That pollywogs song is ace, though the nutella truffle-shuffle was uncomfortable watching

A more innocent age when instead of happening across stuff in youtube you had to just take a random punt because the name or cover looked interesting and then a bus-ride worth of anticipation to find out whether you've just wasted your money or not. I bought the single of Desire by Yello because a) it had a little twisted wire ballerina on the cover and b)because it was about 20p more expensive than all the other singles in the shop and I felt compelled to find out why. I then spent the next year spending every available penny on their back catalogue as and when I could find it.
My most recent random stumble-upons on youtube are
Rhythm Schollar vs (insert band of choice)
the Coasters
Mulatu Astatke

I have to say that Yvette Cooper is much more impressive in this than she is in the House of Commons.
Big shout to [b]Stoffel[/b] for introducing me to Autonomads... That is so far up my street, the tune's in my house. Braw.
Edit: What drugs for Angerfist?
Has to be babymetal. Stumbled across it on here and now have their tunes blasting in the car.
Autonomads +1 a little bit of early clash in there its banging braaaa

The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit - two Swedish sisters.
Amazing voices.
****ing glorious this should change your life or something
I was listening to some blue grass clog dancing on the radio a while ago. Not really wierd but it was live in the studio. Anyway a bit like this
I'm not sure weird is quite the right term but I did always enjoy watching Later to see what unusual stuff popped up. I tend not to bother so much now but having never heard (or heard of) Fado, this made an impression.
God bless you soundcloud.
saw this on some 2am dance music show and it scared me silly for some reason. Couldn't get the images out of my head and took me a few years to find out who it was......
The Very Things - The Bushes Scream While My Daddy Prunes
The Flowerpot Men - Melting Down on Motor Angel
Anything by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band but especially this:
Not sure where I first heard the Dark City Sisters, but well worth a listen:
Sometimes browse Bandcamp looking for "interesting" stuff.
Xina Xurner was a fine discovery (NSFW) 😆
That'll do ya. I don't think people who think Queens of the Stone Age or Biffy Clyro are "weird" could take much more. 8)
DezB - MemberThat'll do ya. I don't think people who think Queens of the Stone Age or Biffy Clyro are "weird" could take much more.
Think you missed the point of that 😕
Not sure I really love these, but i quite like them. I honestly don't remember how I ended up here (probably just looking at the suggested links to the right of Youtube vids, starting from Alestorm):
Konstruct - Austrian Crossover band (like a mixture of Ledehosen, Heidi and light metal)
Potentially the best buskers ever! So not my normal cup of tea but at full volume this makes me laugh with happiness! Some of the noises the trumpet makes sound like a bull elephant reaching a happy conclusion to a pachyderm orgy.
I suppose by 'weird' I mean stuff that's outside of your normal comfort zone,non-mainstream and relatively obscure.
cfinnimore; I see your Einsturzende Neubaten, and raise you Nurse With Wound:
Musically, not that weird, but I stumbled across this woman, iamamiwhoami on youtube a little while ago - some amazing, weird videos...
Stopped watching since they stopped being weird. That latest one was her dancing about in bra and pants. I commented on Youtube to this effect and got savaged by her adoring followers (geeks).
