# office music subversion...
I have some of my more 'challenging' CDs in the office at the moment. Someone put on Captain Beefheart, Trout Mask Replica... without really knowing what they were going to get. So now everyone's just struggled through the entire album.

Joy.

# also ...
a tin teardrop.

hehe. I find Melt Banana and Venetian Snares (anyone got the new one? Rather pleasing) are also good for scaring people with "normal" musical tastes.

[edit] Anyone heard the new Matmos live album? there's a fantastic track that's just 5 minutes of wierd animal noises - it amuses me that Bjork fans might buy it by mistake ;)

# Isolation
would have been a fun one to watch the reaction to. But hey, at least it wasn't Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music...

# I have LOTS of Zappa at home...
...but they're wise to it. I once tried Lumpy Gravy in here.

Of course Trout Mask was produced by Zappa...

# yes...I think I tried that here once too..
with very short-lived results. Last week I had a Spanish punk compilation, a bunch of mad Russians called Zvuki Mu, Tom Waits in his stranger moments and a Scottish performance poet called Jock Scot.
