    I bet you know of a few bands or musicians that, for whatever reason, you adore and noone else you know gives a stuff about. I know I do. Let's share shall we, and together maybe discover some new music that blows our tiny little minds (disclaimer: I'm sure not all of you have tiny little minds).

    My contribution, Oysterhead. A group comprised of Les Claypool (Primus), Stuart Copeland (the Police) and Trey Anastasio (Phish). All monsters in their own right.

    Yeah, moose horn or roots because the luthier couldn't be bothered waiting for the wood to dry!

    Cardiacs - They are definitely an acquired taste, but they were a major influence on Faith No More, Porcupine Tree, Blur and lots of other bands.

    (They are also the prime reason I am considering a SG for my next build)

    I could very quickly hog this whole thread as I seem to be drawn to music that is outside the mainstream.

    @Fretworn, the Cardiacs are awesome, I'll definitely have to check out more of their stuff.
    @Brendan, great clip. Rev Peyton is a little terrifying though.

    Was just talking to Wokka about these guys. The Pillows, a Japanese pop punk band. Not really my style of music, but I adore these guys. Wish I knew what the hell they were singing about.
