A Taste of Bizarre

If you're like me, you get bloody bored with the ordinary "norms" of society and need to enjoy some weirdness every now and then. So here's a list to help you out with some of my favorite bizarre/surreal rule bending pieces. You can find a lot of other great stuff by all these artists out there. Also, I'm not including works of art (paintings, drawings, etc) because all the best ones tend to break the rules of their time. You'll probably hate most or all of these (they may grow on you though), but in the least, you'll become more cultured!

If you want some feature-length bizarre films, let me know, but you can start off with
basically any Terry Gilliam movie.

Fashion

Couldn't find good resources on the designers of most of these, so you'll just have to enjoy the outfit for what it is...

 

Music

I could go on and on with this topic, but here's a little taste.

John Cage - Water Walk

Tom Waits - Starving in the belly of a whale

Eek-A-mouse - Wa-Do-Dem
