During a discussion with felisdemens that started with the Shaggs, and descended rapidly, I passed on the following video:

[Error: unknown template video]

"My Underwear Is Frozen to the Clothesline" by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. You haven't lived, folks. you truly haven't lived. felisdemens described it as "the love child of Larry David and David Cronenberg having a gran mal in a cowboy bar."

For some reason, I feel a lot better now, thanks.

Oh that's great.

I don't know where he's actually from, but that entire performance kinda sums up the 1980s Austin music scene for me. It's in the way you can't quite tell how much he's kidding and how much he's malfunctioning, all set to a country beat.

...you can't quite tell how much he's kidding and how much he's malfunctioning

That is beautiful. I think you've just summed up the whole "outsider music" phenomenon in one sentence. (I am, however, studiously avoiding Mrs. Miller and Wesley Willis.)

Rock over Glens Falls! Rock on Poughkeepsie! This rock show whips a badger's ass!

*shakes head sadly* Nope. Pretty sure he wrote this. It sounds like his other stuff that I've heard, and YouTube has multiple performances of various songs, so it's not improv. Which is not to say that his backing band aren't strapping on their seat belts and holding on for dear life. (And my God, he does sound like Brak!)
