Irritating pseudo-music for the middle-class "trendy" dinner parties

I used to live in the San Francisco area in the heyday of the Kronos Quartet, and would attend as many of their concerts as my schedule allowed. For those of you who don't know them, they are/were a classically trained string quartet that did *only* "modern" compositions, and a lot of contemporary and avant-garde composers commissioned stuff for them. I remember a gig they did at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre where they played some stuff that was *hillarious*, musically, and obviously intentionally so, to my ears. So I was chuckling and slpping my knee without really thinking about it. That went down very badly with the people around me, who were mostly older, better dressed, and there to hear some *serious*, difficult modern music.

Yeah, I don't know if it's funny, either, but I cannot listen to white middle class North Americans who emote with acoustic guitars. From Joan Baez and Tom Rush right through to the current crop of "folkies", it is a sound (sexless, grooveless, didactic) I can't stand. I believe that much "alt rock" is the young, privileged, North American, white male version of the same thing.

For some indeed very serious classical music, but really hilareous to listen too, check out Johann Georg Albrechtsberger's (1736-1809) Concertos for Jew's Harp, Mandorra and Orchestra. I have a CD with 2 conecerts in E major and F major. The fun stuff is the jew's harp playing, because the music is very wiener classical like, balanced and correct, and suddenly some "ploiing-ploiiing" theme is introduced by the jew's harp. And the player, Fritz Mayr, plays actually really well too, doing all kinds of ornaments on the odd instrument.

I completely forgot about hip-hop until Tony V.D. reminded me. I remember reading all these Public Enemy reviews that said things like "listening to this album, you just know these guys hate you" and krap like that then I see this guy dressed like an idiot with a big toy clock around his neck and just fall about laughing. These guys are about as scary as an empty bottle and I don't get any aggro from their music at all - its tame as f**k.

Yeah, but...

They are not about agression in the violence sense, but in polical anger and ire, like Gil Scott-Heron, and Gang of Four

... How ironic I can't mention 'Killing Joke' - or Bones would get seriously pissed!

What's worse than a flat punchline?... A killing joke.

.... I'm in BIG trouble now, aren't I?

anything by usher or r. kelly usually brings me a convulsing fit of laughter. especially when those damn r&b guys, trying to be all super serious and sophisticated, insert some outlandishly ghetto phrase in the middle of the song. i recall one song, in particular that was the typical slow, sad, r&b love ballad, may have been usher may have not, but it contained more use of the word f**k than a dennis leary album. i caught it on the radio in the car one day and had to pull over i was laughing so hard.

Serious music that makes you howl with laughter?
