Well I've been noticing in the last few months some strange musical collaborations happening but this one has gotta take the cake -
Scott Walker & Sunn O))). I mean I love me
Scott Walker and we all know he's a little strange and a little cheeky but what? I think it's as strange as the pairing of
Lou Reed & Metallica, no definitely stranger. I must admit I haven't listened to that and some people rated it quite highly? I mean I'm big on Lou and have been known to enjoy Metallica amongst friends ie. I never bought a Metallica LP in my life but my friends did and I didn't hate them. It's a bit like
Sunn O))). I enjoy what I've heard on the radio but never bothered to investigate them any further (It's been in the back of my mind to check em out....but....). Maybe not quite as strange but
Royksopp & Robyn? Now I can't think of the other ones that I've seen and thought what? Maybe though its a better collaboration if you are stylistically further from one another.
Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue was superficially a bit weird but if you think about it they are both pop singers, entertainers, song and dance people. Now
Kylie & Stockhausen would have been weird but probably not as weird as
Cave & Stockhausen, at least Kylie would be considered electronic rather than rock. Now this all reminds me of French musique concrete composer
Pierre Henry collaborating with British proggers
Spooky Tooth, a bit weird?.
Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel normal.
Nirvana & William S Boroughs a bit strange but not really.
Coldplay & U2, now that'd be fucked up! Only one band would have to turn up. Would you have
The Edge from Coldplay or U2's
Edge? What about
Taylor Swift & Burzum?
Pharell & Earth?
Evan Dando & Diamanda Galas? That one kinda sounds like it might be alright, it's hard to know.
Nickleback & The Wiggles? The Mrs offers
Allanis Morrisette & Coldplay. You could play this game all day really and somebody probably already has on Twitter. Then there's the whole alive/dead thing.
Nicki Minaj & Ian Curtis anyone up for that? What about
Kermit The Frog & Townes Van Zandt?
Elvis &
Bieber?
