Weird Oowee Weird

Full title: Weird Oowee Weird aka A Strabismus Cow Licks Grapes & Gravy

Original title: What a Weird Way to Go

18 tracks by artists/bands labelled as weird rock among other genres. Now don't worry - there isn't any abstract, harsh, noise, or any non-music tracks. It's all listenable and frankly, most of the tracks are not all that entirely weird. You could say the band names are more weird in a no-connection-to the-music relation. Let's go with examples...

Kevin's "Ficking E" - a short instrumental ditty with an occasional scream in the background, and a saxophone playing a repeated motif. Not that weird, yet still cool...

Fuscia's "Headphones" - sounds like you'd hear on top 40 radio. There's a bit of scat and not the usual sounding instrumental break mid-way, but really not all that weird if at all...

The Great Journey's "The Meltdown" - okay, it's weird. A short little ditty but cool nonetheless...

Phoaming Edison's "Utilization Management" - love it! A great instrumental with the only thing weird would be the group and song title...

Creat's "I No U Do Not I" - wait for the Die Hard sample. Hilarious, then again I enjoy juvenile humor...

Chins' "Turtles" - more juvenile humor...

Captain's "Gary Larson" - to describe the tune, if Dinosaur Jr. went unplugged...

Soon Li's "Matt C." - another awesome instrumental. Nothing weird here, unless a trombone in a rocking tune...

Schwartz's "Pruen" - I had to recheck and make sure I got the band name and song title correct, lol...

Ben Lewis' "Blue Bubbles with Generators" - another awesome short instrumental, the title being the only thing weird...

Welington Irish Black Warrior's "Don't Blame Me" - just give the track a couple of minutes, and then sit back for a fast, motorik-styled ride...

Louis Jucker's "Attics" - as far as I know, the static near the beginning and the end is intentional.

Anyway, I really do like the tunes in this mix. I hope you do too. Enjoy!
