About Me

Howdy folks, welcome to the official MySpace for Weirdomusic.com .
Weirdomusic was founded in 2001 by Marco Kalnenek, a music freak, webmaster and label owner from Heerlen, the Netherlands.

Weirdomusic.com was nominated for a Webby Award in 2004. In the same year our netlabel WM Recordings went online.
We also moderate a bunch of mailing lists, including one for Sun Ra collectors , one for fans of Balkan Brass music and the infamous Pop Culture Links mailing list.

We like lots of Different music : from Frank Zappa to Les Baxter, from Sun Ra to Beck, from Serge Gainsbourg to Thelonious Monk, from Exotica to Balkan Brass, from Funk to Afrobeat and beyond.
