Odd Thomas Music

I have been following the adventures of (spoiler alert via wikipedia link!) Odd Thomas, arguably Dean Koontz’s most likable character.  The weird, otaku and geeky in me identifies readily with that fictional hero.  Maybe it’s because of this “oddness” that I tend to gravitate towards certain shall we say, “odd” types of music.  You can call it weird, odd, or off.  If you’re in a kind mood, describe them as unique, different or unusual.  Here’s my list of oddly delicious music:

1.       Art Ensemble of Chicago with Fontella Bass – Theme De YoYo

2.       Amadou & Mariam – Sabali

3.       !!! – Me & Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard (A True Story)

4.       Fred Eaglesmith – Worked Up Field

5.       Gogol Bordello – Sally

6.       Kevin Johansen – Daisy

7.       The Red Elvises – Ukranian Dance # 13

8.       Gorillaz – Left Hand Suzuki Method

Again, I’d like to thank MdM for introducing me to most of these music.  The picture above is the album art for Panic! at the Disco's Pretty Odd.
