this is what bothers me most about TMR

self-described weird people from all over the net call it the ultimate weird album for weird people like themselves without taking the time to recognize that when they're discussing music online they're no longer the weird ones.

i don't consider any of the music i listen to as weird, just what I like. whether it's the residents, zappa, sun ra, the 'weird' factor is irrelevant. while it 'would' likely be considered weird if i tried discussing some of these bands with social peers in a face to face situation i'd also be forced to discuss music with people who think ragging about 'theory of a dead nickel creed' is a hilarious play on words as opposed to being so lame it's not even worth the effort of rolling my eyes.
