Knights Templar, Rosicrucians, Free and Accepted Masons, Rejected Masons who'll let me in on their secrets for a low hourly fee, outsider artists, people working on things genuinely strange, people who like things genuinely strange, old barnacle-encrusted Krautrockers, people who want to sit in the grass and drink beer with me at dusk and throw half-full cans at passing cars, people who are hard to stop once you get them going.
Music with sweeet falsetto vocals such as: Johnson Hawkins Tatum and Durr, the Four Mints, Willy Williams, the Gladiators, and the Eternals (JA, not USA). Overly-dramatic music made by pensive men and women: the [Chicago] Owls, Blonde Redhead, Polvo, The Sea and Cake. Krautrock: Can, Harmonium. "Mewing, tinkling {thanks J. McC.}," occasionally precious and delicate music such as: Fennesz, Boards of Canada, Funki Porcini. Head-bobbin', gimmegimme new-tight-jaunty: Jackie Mitoo, King Tubby, Dorothy and Althea, Norma Frasier. Sissy music: Tom Tom Club, the Slits, the Sugarcubes, select B-52s, Elastica. "'rock-music'": Cykle, the Mishans. Sorta-devotional music by jazz musicians who are high on religion, drugs, other imbalances: Light-as-a-Feather Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett (I dunno if he really counts), Alice Coltrane. Spontaneously-occcuring fusions (the real deal, not the shit contrived by jackasses with dream catchers): Konono No. 1, early rap, early house and disco, rawraw jungle. Prawg, esp. when the delusions of grandeur are at their most inflated and elaborate: Magma, Yes, Gentle Giant, very early Genesis, and I think I'll put Squarepusher in this category. Devo is also short for devotional: Aavikko, the Confusional Quartet. Tropicalia, esp. Gal Costa, Tom Ze. I've recently found that Bjoerk makes me really angry and a little aggressive, likely to puff-out my chest and stare at the ground like that jackass with the bic-ed head at the Henry Rollins show.
Freaks and Geeks was pretty good for TV.
