Your whole idea of quirk is all wrong. Look up Bjork or Imogen Heap.Movie wise, any Tim Burton flick will do.

I don't like his voice. Looks so.. untuned.

You watch Garden State. And then you watch it again. And then again. That movie has the most amount of "quirky" in it, ever. Then watch Scrubs.

Let me ask you something. How do you try to be quirky? You either are or you're not. As far as i'm concerned bands like this that dress circus-esque and eccentric are the most original.And btw, kurt didn't ahve the best taste in music.

This will probably fall on deaf ears given the poor grammar in your post, but embracing psychedelic culture in 2008 is hardly "selling out to the industry," especially given that Polyvinyl is a independent label.Citing Nirvana as an example of originality is a bit ironic considering how indebted Nirvana's music was to bands like Husker Du and the Pixies. Even the main riff in "Come AS You Are" is swiped from Killing Joke's "Eighties."

This is probably going to fall of deaf ears, but embracing psychedelic culture in the year 2008 is hardly "selling out to the industry." Regardless of whether or not you like it, Of Montreal and all of the other Elephant 6 bands ARE doing their own thing.And given how derivative Nirvana was of '80s alternative acts Husker Du and the Pixies, it's somewhat ironic that you would site them as an example of being original.

Yeah, I see what point you're trying to make, though I thought the same thing when I first saw this band. I thought, oh crap, another shitty indie band clone. But after a little more listening, I've seen a much more original style of music which really hasn't been done before. It's like a hybrid of David Bowie, Architecture in Helsinki with a couple of hardcore 80's synths.
