I can agree with that. I haven't heard Aavikko but I have heard Holy ****. If they were a food, they'd be delicious.

I need to resurrect this thread, because I still believe we should have an avant-garde/experimental forum. I feel like an ass.

I would love there to be a AG forum. I listen to a lot of it myself.

Where else besides an avant-garde/experimental forum would one put threads about bands such as Secret Chiefs 3 or The Residents?

alternative... general music... rock?

It could just as easily be put in electronica or world music.

you could make a case for secret chiefs 3 in world music

i would just put them in whatever forum you think will gain them the most attention. i think having an avant-garde forum would be pretty pretentious, and it might even beat out the emo forum for most elitist forum on here. plus, who decides what constitutes "avant-garde?" personally I wouldn't put secret chiefs 3 or mr. bungle under there... experimental maybe but even Radiohead could fall under that category.

Actually, I'm thinking that an "other music" forum would be best. You could put whatever in there that you think doesn't fit cleanly into the other forums.

couldn't you just use general music for that?

Never!
