Sigur Rós is played often here, and I find their sound absolutely beautiful.

QuoteThey are a rock band from iceland and reflect the barren, lunar landscape of the peculiar country. As the name "sigur rós" (borrowed from a friend's little sister) implies, they've made the impractical decision to forgo english, singing in a weird form of icelandic that even the locals don't understand.
jónsi: plays the guitar with a bow---"i use a Gibson les paul - i find it kind of really nice for the bow," he says. "the bow isn°t hard to learn - you just play it slowly and through a lot of reverb. i use a cello bow, not a violin bow. some people don°t know that you have to use rosin, but it is important to use it; you also have to use cello rosin and not double bass rosin. the feel for the bow just comes, but it takes a long time to develop the touch.
The song at the end of vanilla sky by sigur rós (on the roof of the skyscraper) is called njósnavélin (a.k.a. the nothing song)
One of sigur rós songs named starálfur (a.k.a. staring elf) from the 1999 album ágætis byrjun is featured in Wes Anderson's new movie, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. It's a comedy starring Bill Murray and will be released on Dec 25th.

to this day I still listen to "Trout Mask Replica" by Capt. Beefhearts Magic Band on a regular basis
Pete Draper,

QuoteI also love KODO, an amazingly talented Japanese taiko drum playing group. I've seen them live at least five times over the last 7 or 8 years!
Taiko drum-playing is better explained here:
Taiko is a drumming style of Japanese origin. While various taiko drums have been used in Japan for over 1400 years, and possibly much longer, the style of taiko best known today has a relatively short history, beginning in the 1950's.
"Taiko" in general is often used to mean the relatively modern art of Japanese drum ensembles (kumi-daiko), but the word actually refers to the taiko drums themselves. Literally, taiko means "fat drum," although there is a vast array of shapes and sizes of taiko. Within the last fifty years since kumi-daiko was created, it has seen phenomenal growth to the point where there are over 8,000 taiko groups in Japan by some counts. Borrowing on thousands of years of tradition, taiko groups are now taking the style worldwide. Taiko promises to be the first native Japanese music to spread through the world.
KODO is awesome. I saw them in Escondido last year. Let me know when they come back this way.

I listen to all kinds of music, but I don't think any of it would necessarily be considered "weird" (depending on who you ask)...
Well, except for maybe that Teletubbies CD I sometimes listen to...

My ex used to say that if the music was by a dead, black man, it was probably in my collection (blues), but my weirdest recent pick is by the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, an all-chick punk band, it's weird but great.

I like Bach's organ music played really loud. I have been known to sit inside the pipe case between the ranks of pipes on occasion.
They Might Be Giants is a wierd taste too, I guess.

Growing up, I somehow missed the "hip" music because my parents were soooo not hip and instead now have a love for old 50's music and Broadway tunes. It just brings back such pleasant youthful memories of my father and mother dancing in the living room to it.

i guess the weirdest piece of music was the "tractatus logico philosphicus" by philosopher ludwig wittgenstein set to music by a finish guy named m.a. numinnen - btw: if you are into finish tango you shoudn't miss him

Yeah, know what you mean about the Murphys... Theres not a particularly big punk scene in Aberystwyth, so a lot of my tastes go unappreciated 
Oh yeah, and just recently Ive had a terrible habit of downloading William Shatner covers 
Gotta hear "Rocketman" again...

There was a glam band in the late seventies called Angel. They were never very big, but I like them. I still have one album. I play it often on my (Yup) record player. I never share; it's just for me.

George Winston. I really like the covers he did of the music from the Peanuts TV shows.
No particular tune though...
And national anthems, because they are important to people. Not all of them, but a lot.
