	"Time and Curiosity: Journey to the Outside"
		The spectrum of music to which the average person is exposed -- versus the variety of available sonic art -- is extremely limited.
		Insofar as music plays any role in their lives, they prefer the comfort of familiar artists and formulas.
		This is partly attributable to the low-budget operations of many Outsiders, and in some cases to their inability or unwillingness to cooperate with or trust anyone but themselves.

		It is a discovery recently classified as "outsider music" by Irwin Chusid, the music archivist and disc jockey on WFMU in Jersey City [who is producing the album for release].
		But outsider music, as a catchall for odds and ends that are naïve to the idea of "good" music and its techniques, serves a purpose similar to that of its visual cousin.
		Outsider music has mainly been the frontier of record collectors and inquisitive rock stars like Frank Zappa, who is credited with championing the work of an awkward three-sister garage band from the early 1970's called the Shaggs.

	* Dusted Features [ From the Inside, Honoring the Outside ] *
		The demand for outsider music is a reflection perhaps of a growing concern that musical innocence, and along with it unfettered passion, are lost amongst today’s creative communities, which demand conformity, market-researched blandness, or stylish posturing for success.
		Those who put their faith in outsider music believe that only by listening to musicians who are unconcerned with or unaware of how to sell albums and accrue social capital can we hear pure creative output.
		Much of outsider music’s appeal is in its distance from the jaded world of modern music (which if you are reading this you are fully implicated in), and the more proximate the outsider musician becomes to the inside, the less novel value the music possesses.

	BBC News \| MUSIC \| The music industry's outsider
		Music pundit Jonathan King has been one of the industry's most influential figures for two decades.
		His influence on the music industry remained strong during the 70s, and he was linked to the rise of Genesis, The Bay City Rollers, and 10cc.
		He became a prickly outsider, and used his weekly column in The Sun newspaper to lambast the pop stars of the day - and praise his discoveries.

		Lyon, who has been writing and recording music since he was 16, found the inspiration to create his first rock show, Hollywood Outsider, when he wrote a song about a man reminiscing about his childhood.
		The music is rooted in 70's rock n' roll, but also includes the influences of funk, blues, jazz, grunge, country, and folk music.
		Hollywood Outsider has been my dream for the past four years and it is finally being realized thanks to the talented performers of the Chico community and the support of the Blue Room Theatre.

		Her musical does not pander to the faux-stupids who idolize the Shaggs; neither does she seek a darker truth in the Wiggin sistersâ story.
		The showâs music is a mix of some of the albumâs recordings and Gunnar Madsenâs original compositions, which carry the story neatly enough but sound a little generic in the blues-rock way many American musicals do.
		Outsider music may sound as though it comes from out of nowhere, but as the Shaggs proved, it doesnât come from nothing.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Outside In: Three Outsider Music Documentaries
		Wilson, Jandek, and the song-poem industry are the subjects of three excellent recent documentaries that may herald the beginning of a wider acceptance of outsider music, one that could help the form achieve some of the status given to outsider art.
		The music was a hypnotic blend of jazzy riffs, funk grooves, synth washes, John Cage-like experimental clatter, and Wilson’s strangled voice mouthing desperate lyrics about “groovy girls who make love on the beach” and how to connect with them.
		Wilson's music is not sui generis like that of some outsiders — Shooby Taylor comes to mind here — but it also could not be mistaken for the work of anyone else.

		They are great places to hear this type of music, because you'll never hear it on the radio (unless it's college radio), and most of the albums are, due to lack of popular support, out of print.

		Chusid, the author of the outsider exploration Songs in the Key of Z and producer of its two accompanying CDs (see Take Five), screened excerpts from many of these films in a sprawling showcase of the best known in obscuro.
		Outsider music is uniquely valid because it's pure, the documentarians claim, untainted by rules or demands of commerce over art.

		The chief standard-bearer of outsider music, and the man who coined the term in a 1996 article, is Irwin Chusid, a Hoboken, N.J.-based record producer, radio personality, and music historian.
		He has written a book about it, "Songs in the Key of Z: The Curious Universe of Outsider Music" (A Cappella Books, 2000), and released two compilation CDs guaranteed to clear house parties and frighten small children.

		The artists who make it are often extremely eccentric, or even deranged in the clinical sense, so the music itself teeters on the brink of lunacy, genius, exploitation, and novelty.
		Formed in 1969, the group was encouraged to record before any of the three young girls had even remotely mastered their instruments, and the result is the sort of inimitable musical naiveté you might expect—if not necessarily expect to become a cultural benchmark.

		Their name represents not only the sense of diversity towards the italian musical scene but also the not conventional philosophy to watch beyond their own borders, worldwide.
		The band knows how to catch the listener's attention and how to stupefy it's audience, it expresses a strong, modern and powerful, kind of rock at times melancholic like a foggy day, a second later compact and squared like a truck that growls at full speed.
		The musical parts are characterized by powerful riff and emotional suspensions, music dances together with the vocal line creating musical alternations and counterpoints that succeed in the attempt to involve the listener emotionally.
