You can never go wrong with the B-52’s and weird.

A huge fan here.

I like some of their older live stuff.

Not as weird now as it was back then.

Then there’s this;

It’s very hard to find truly weird music that has gone under the radar and is actually good.

Call it weird or just different, but I can’t help myself when it comes to this band, the raw talent and lyrics.

One of the enduring appeals of the B52’s is that really strong punk-like underpinning behind vocals and harmonies that seem ripped straight out of a B-movie sci-fi-fi soundtrack, and it’s really on full display with those early live performances. They got slicker and more “cute” as time went on, and it did them no favors in my opinion.

Violent Femmes, I’ve avoided them since I detest “Blister In The Sun,” and it was unavoidable on alt rock radio here for what seemed like years. But, I’ll give them a listen, never really tried anything else from them because of that one single.
