Intro to Outsider Music

NOTE: We did this one a while ago so we didn't shout out our
top-tier Patrons so I am doing it here: extra big thanks to G.
and NoiseOfVarrich, very big thanks to everyone else who signed
up over there too


In this episode, we take a detour from punk and hardcore while
continuing to steer clear of all conventions: welcome to
Outsider Music. Guided by our own tastes (and
Irwin Chusid’s insights), we dive into this magical world,
featuring gems from The Shaggs, Daniel Johnston, BJ Snowden, and
Y. Bhekhirst (and a little taste of Wesley Willis and Joe Meek,
bookending the episode).


Before we get to the wonder of this music, we indulge in some
prime nonsense: debating Hardcore vs. Metal scene dynamics, why
people can’t handle honest reviews, and—because it’s tradition
and it's right up the street (BOOP street, where I live)—our
thoughts on this season’s McRib.


But eventually we get to Outsider Music. And eventually you get
to the end of the episode. And at that point you will have
completed a crash course in why Outsider Music warrants your
attention— like another sort of crash, one involving cars. Even
if this stuff proves a departure from your usual listening, we
bet you can't look away. And if you've never heard "Hot In the
Airport" before, listen to this episode and hear it today. Then
hear it in your head, on a periodic basis, forever.
