I finally heard this guy for the first time last night and I was bowled the fuck over!
His music is at once original and compulsively listenable... the compendium I was listening to was surprisngly well recorded and well mastered.
Moondog! Moondog! Moondog!
We are going to get along just fine.

And yeah, Moondog and Harry Partch I would definitely agree with for music. Add Beethoven and Stravinsky too. And Thelonious Monk.

68I think that originality is way overrated. Of course, I appreciate a seemingly unprecedented artist like Devo or Beefheart or P-Funk, but as someone suggested, if you look (and listen) closely enough, you can plot the course that was taken by just about anybody. There's a part of me that thinks that such emphasis on originality is just the aesthetic facet of an obsession with technology and consumption--everybody wants to the newest, brightest thing, the thing that's different (or at least packaged differently).
I mean, weren't Limp Bizkit "original" when you get down to it? I'd much rather hear Bob Dylan or Merle Haggard or the Everly Brothers, who were all--in their ways--totally derivative of their forebears. All I care is that music (or any art) is good--and I don't think something stops being good simply because it's been done before. Its goodness is not determined by its being unprecedented.
Don't get me wrong: vive le difference! and all that. But I don't think something's good simply because it's different or original, and I believe there's a lot of that going around--always has been. Don't believe the hype.
