Outsider music (The songs aren't always that odd, but they're "outsider" in that they're from mental patients or homeless people or deluded rich kids)
Or sometimes all three at the same time.
That's one of my favorite Daniel Johnson songs by the way.
I think Beck covers it.
Most 'outsider artists' have already been found and exploited and / or brought into the spotlight by people like Beck...and Thurston Moore...Kurt Cobain etc.
Who's that one that every hipster glommed onto about 10 years ago? Oh yeah, Jandek!
Quote:
Author / producer Irwin Chusid's book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, including such figures as The Shaggs, Syd Barrett, Tiny Tim, Joe Meek, Jandek, Captain Beefheart, The Cherry Sisters, Wesley Willis, Daniel Johnston, the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, Wild Man Fischer, and Harry Partch. The text presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies...
We all know the band, but the song is somewhat less well-known. A 'non-chomp' version was done by Jan and Dean. (Yes, there's an original of this song!)

Yeah of the three that was the only one found to be actually kind of nice. The other two didn't precisely work for me, but I felt they did count as unusual.
