Words Are Not Enough: This Week In Strange Music

I like strange music, but it has to be musical. That is, I'm not interested in stuff that's a bunch of blips or bleeps or straight-up noise. I am, however, interested in off-beat or different-sounding tunes, and at the very least, they have to have something "musical" about them, such as a rhythm, a beat, a melody ... something a listener can sink his or her teeth into.

And hey, since I'm defining things, I might as well explain what I mean by "strange." When I say strange, I mean stuff the normies don't (or even won't) listen to. I mean stuff in a galaxy far, far away from the Hot 100. I mean stuff that would give Taylor Swift and Noah Khan nightmares. I'm talking about stuff that makes people say, "What the fuck is this?" when they hear it at a party. In fact, if I put something on and someone doesn't wrinkle his or her nose in response, then it ain't worth listening to!

So, if you're willing to stray far from the safe space of today's Top-40 and ready to give some off-beat jams a try, click on one (or all!) of the following links. Now, turn that sound on and let's go!
