French Weirdness #1

As I was putting together tonight's theme of odd tracks from the Blue, White and Red, I realized that there is about as many French artists on the list as German (50-ish) and many of them are too good to pass up..., so... I've decided to break the French up into multiple iterations... two or three... and this week reveals the 1st. A lot of diversity in the list tonight. Jazzy, proggy, concrete, a good amount of shouting in French (of course) and I've included several tunes with a sub-theme of acts involving Philippe Besombes...
_________________________________________________________

8. Philippe Besombes ~ Geant (1979) {Cesi Est Cela}

Humorous and weird...

A good number of the names on the list have senses of humor... Frank Zappa, Ron 'Pate, Bruce Hampton to name a few. Others are funny because they're.... oh, well... odd. Flying Lizards, Residents and Deep Freeze Mice come to mind. Here's some of my favorite examples of tunes that are more entertainingly silly along these lines.

Rock ~N~ Jass

NWW List A-Z Installment #35

This last installment of our A-Z extravaganza features only four tracks (as that's all the artists left here), but I'm including a special piece that inspired the Beatles at the end to fill the final hour. So we've got one of the several bands that was also a commune/cult, a Yuyulating Yoko (by FAR the most irritating if not inaccessible piece I've yet to offer), French weirdness and finally we end with a Krautrock group...
