jtnfoley Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Audey and Klipsch, the O'Phile brothers! The "Right this minute" thread got me thinking about eccentricity in music taste... So I thought I'd pose the question: What two albums do all y'all consider your most eccentric? For me I think it'd be Inca Son and Yngwie Malmsteen (and a lot of in between!)

pauln Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 The Pipes and Drums and Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (amalgamation of the Royal Scots Greys (2nd Dragoons) with the 3rd Carabiners (Prince of Wales Dragoon Guards). After almost 300 years the Royal Scots Greys were taken from the Order of Battle in the British Army in 1971. This 1972 album is the farewell to the Greys and welcome to the new amalgamation of the Greys and the Carabiners. Best bagpipe music I've found. And sounding oddly similar... My most purposefully peculiar record, Fripp and Eno's "No Pussyfooting" 1973. (Fripp is the guitarist from King Crimson, Brian Eno is unique in the music world).

Groomlakearea51 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 WHAT ???????? Dunno... It could get really weird, maybe someone will dig up a bootleg cassette recording of some Mongols doing chants while sitting around a yak dung fire in front of their urts while drinking fermented mare's milk.....

My most purposefully peculiar record, Fripp and Eno's "No Pussyfooting" 1973. (Fripp is the guitarist from King Crimson, Brian Eno is unique in the music world). Yes Paul, that's pretty much got to be the one. I have that on LP as well as many other Eno collobarations and it's truly bizarre. With a song title called 'Swastika Girls' you know you're in for a treat. There's some Frank Zappa that has to be high up the list. The whole 'Concentration Moon' sequence from We're Only in it for the Money (A bizarre Zappa 'homage' to Sgt. Pepper) has astounding in the number of tape edits. When Eric Clapton's voice cuts through the mix with 'God it's God I see God', it's otherworldly. "Hi boys and girls, I'm Jimmy Carl Black and I'm the Indian of the group".... huuhuhhhhuhuhh [mumbled stoner laughter] - too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I know that Zappa album very well... one of my roommates in college listened to Zappa exclusively.. To the tune of "Hey Joe" (played at super speed) Hey Punk, where you goin' with that flower in your hand? Hey Punk, where you goin' with that flower in your hand? Well, I'm goin' up to Frisco to join a psychedelic band. I'm goin' up to Frisco to join a psychedelic band. Hey Punk, where you goin' with that button on your shirt? Hey Punk, where you goin' with that button on your shirt? I'm goin' to the love-in to sit & play my bongos in the dirt. Yes, I'm goin' to the love-in to sit & play my bongos in the dirt. Hey Punk, where you goin' with that hair on your head? Hey Punk, where you goin' with that hair on your head? I'm goin' to the dance to get some action, then I'm goin' home to bed. I'm goin' to the dance to get some action, then I'm goin' home to bed. Hey Punk, where you goin' with those beads around your neck? Hey Punk, where you goin' with those beads around your neck? I'm goin' to the shrink so he can help me be a nervous wreck . . . Hey Punk!Punky! Hey Punk! Punk! Hey Punk!(Hey Punk!) Hey Punk! Hey Punk! Punky! (Hey Punk!) Hey-hey!(Hey Punk!) Go man, go . . . go man, go . . . Just a little bit softerGolly, do I ever have a lot of soul! Punk, I think I love you!Come on, Roy Questi dominga? Let me see that nose, it didn't . . . Orale! I wanna know for sure!Leave my nose alone please! What are you trying to do? He's gonna stand over there Bigashi' nunga! But this is Cheetah Buirote Chita! FZ on the left: It's one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me. You know, every time I think about how lucky I am to be in the rock & roll industry, it's SO exciting. You know, when I first got into the rock & roll business I could barely even play the changes to this song on my, on my guitar. But now I'm very proficient at it, I can play the guitar, I can strum it rhythmically, I can sing along with my guitar as I strum. I can strum, sing, dance, I can make merry fun all over the stage. And you know, it's so wonderful to . . . It's wonderful to feel that I'm doing something for the kids, because I know that the kids and their music are where it's at. The youth of America today is so wonderful . . . And I'm proud to be a part of this gigantic mass deception. I hope she sees me twirling, yes . . . I hope she sees me dancing and twirling, I will say: "Hello, dolly!" Is the song over? FZ on the right: Boy, this is really exciting, making a rock & roll record. I can't even wait until our record comes out and the teen-agers start to buy it. We'll all be rich and famous! When my royalty check comes I think I'm going to buy a Mustang. No, I think I'll . . . I think I'll get a Corvette. No, I think I'll get a Harley Davidson. No, I don't think I'll buy any of those cars. I think what I will do is I will buy a boat. No, that wouldn't be good either. I think, ah, I'll go into real estate. I think I would like to . . . I think I would like to buy La Cienega Boulevard. No, that wouldn't do any good. Gee, I wonder if they can see me up here, twirling my tambourine and dancing . . . Maybe after the show one of the girls who sees me up here, singing and twirling my tambourine and dancing, will like me. And she will come over to me and I will walk . . . I will walk up to her and I will smile at her and I will impress her and I will say: "Hello, baby, what's a girl like you doing in a place like this? I'm from a rock & roll band, I think we should . . . " Is the song over? Center mumbling: Ay, ay! Mingia! There she is! Ay! Buirote. When do we get paid for this? Ay, ay! . . . papa . . . huevos Huevos? Rock, bop, rock & roll Rock, bop . . . One more time! Un . . . Stop sloppy rock & roll Bop bop bop! YEAH! WHEEE!

Lyrics are as follows: "Uhmmm" or "Ohmmm" x about 42 minutes in various keys.... now that's weird!!![H] That's funny. I have "Tibetan Buddhism Tantras of Gyuto: Mahakala" recorded at Gyuto Tantric College, Dalhousie, Himachal Pradash This record features what is called "one voice chording" in which each of the 12 monks actually manages to generate multiple harmonic tones with each's single voice. On occasion when I have had a bad chest cold and my voice was extra low and hoarse I have been able to make two tones for a few minutes at a time. There are four main traditions among Tibetan Buddhists, this record is by those of the fouth and most recent called Gelug arising from Je Tzong Khappa in the 1400's (that is right, it is the most modern one beginning a short time ago before Columbus' visits to America...) The instruments comprise cymbals, drums, and a pair of six foot long horns called "radong". In Gyuto chanting, each monk produces a low tone alternating between B and C two octaves below middle C, and what sounds like a second tone two octave and a third higher. Technical analysis has revealed that the higher tone is actually a Tartinni difference tone generated by the monks' actually generating extremely high level fifth and tenth harmonics of the bass tone. These two harmonics are what combine as a single difference tone. I have not played this one for many years, I'm going to put it on now and see how the dog likes it...

Groomlakearea51 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Islander: Well kept weird category "party music" secret!! They did a great job in the "Kill Bill" movie's samurai sword mega-death scene with Uma Thurman and the "Crazy 88's"; and Vonage bought one of their tunes for that TV/cable commercial.
