The Official Page of the Weird-Rock Mailing List
Part 1 - "In which the owner of the list gives the reader much needed information..."
Purpose of
the list
The
Weird-Rock list was created because there is an extreme lack of
support for Christian artists that perform strange music. There
are many Christian artists in the music business, but many of
them do not get the support many groups get. Radio stations won't
play them a lot because they aren't in the top 20 most requested
or the radio stations don't think they fit in with the goal of
the station. The Christian music scene as a whole doesn't take
these groups seriously. There is a rare occasion where these
artists will get a big following from a majority of the music
listening community, recent examples would be with Mark Lowry and
Danielson Famile (who are really just musically strange, not as
much lyrically), but these are too far apart. There have been
numerous accounts when people have asked me what I liked and
they've never heard of any of these groups. This is one reason
for making this list -- not only to spread the word about these
groups, but help myself and others learn of other groups. The
other reason was to bring together the few that actually share
this interest.
This list isn't limited to only those groups that do strict "novelty." Even bands that are primarily serious, yet have done strange songs or covers of songs of this type can be discussed.
This page was created as a resource for information, lyrics, discographies, etc., of bands discussed on this list. Any help acquiring information, such as lyrics, links, or even bands not listed, would be appreciated. This help can come from anybody, so if you have something to add, just e-mail jawahutt@aol.com with what you have.
History of
the list
When the weird-rock
mailing list was created, it was originally on the Cool List
servers. While that list probably still exists because there was
no known way to delete lists, the list officially resides on the
ONElist servers. This was done because Cool List was nearly
impossible to communicate with. Cool List only worked about 90%
of the time, and although those bugs are probably fixed now, I
felt that ONElist was not only more reliable, but also provided
more options for the list moderators and subscribers. The list is
now much larger than when it was with Cool List and more active
than ever before.
