Hi,I'm ART PAUL SCHLOSSER and I have been making CDs for years now and people have consider my music like Daniel Johnston and I'm not saying it is or isn't,but it has gotten airplay on Dr Demento see http://mypage.iu.edu/~jbmorris/FAQ/drd03.0713.html so I was wondering if you thought music on Dr Demento was outsider ? Also I did want to mention that the song that was played was Vote for Me/It's a Joke and if you would like to hear it again on Dr Demento please request it at http://www.clamhead.com/drdrequest.html
Thanks-APS
P.S. Check out my CDs at http://www.cdbaby.com/artpaul

If his audience primarily consists of geeks (and, with Weird Al getting his first airplay with the Doctor, I'm assuming it is) then I'd say it most certainly is outsider music.
(I'm not knocking geeks, either! In the fifth grade I almost got into a fight with another kid over who was better, Weird Al or Axl Rose. I was on Al's side, man.)

he's played Jandek a few times so he at least plays *some* "outsider" stuff.

True. I guess I was thinking more in terms of the audience...

He plays a lot of very wilfull novelty records by professional musicians. In fact that seems to be more of what he plays than anythinig that could be considered "outsider" music (whatever we think of that phrase).
