Haha, uhh? I dont' really know anyone into interesting/experimental music in real life, except for a few local people who saw Cerberus Shoal a few years back (who moved far, far away from here a long time ago). I don't think me knowing people who have kewl t-shirts of a hugely popular band (The Residents are HUGE -- they invented the music video, they have had HUGE tours, they have their stuff in art museums, etc. They're not obscure in the least) is really that noteworthy; I gurantee there are people in your town with way more interesting tastes than that.. most of those people are into Animal Collective and crap, mainly, just like everyone else. Also, no offense, but comparing Beefheart to the Residents is laughable -- Beefheart is a musical genius, who invented music as we know it, and read any interview with the Residents and they'll tell you THEY wouldnt' exist without his music. I'm a Residents fan, but they're more of an art collective, now, though their early albums are certainly interesting in their wrongness (the original band included Fred Frith, Renaldo and the Loaf, Snakefinger, and a few other musical geniuses -- none of those people work with 'em anymore, hence why their music fails to impress me anymore. Simple). I personally have given up on trying to get people into the music and movies I like -- I know a couple cool online people, and that's about it. It's no big deal, really, people are into what they're into. I guess I know one dude who is into experimental music and movies and shit, a really cool dude named Mike (also, coincedentally, might be the only person I know in real life who isn't a complete fuckhead), I'm going to try to collborate with him soon. But I live in a town of 44,000 people -- it's no surprise that most people here are into garbage. Anyway, no reason to be jealous of me, the only people I really know who are into interesting music and movies are like 5 or 6 people on the internet.
