I listen to a lot of local punk music (The Secretions, Cobra Skulls, Hit Reset, Phenomenauts, Re-Volts, Carbonites, stuff like that, if anybody cares), I guess that counts as obscure, since most of them don't play any shows outside of California, minus Cobra Skulls, who are INCREDIBLE and you should all look them up RIGHT NOW.
Also, Rabbit Junk. I learned about them from this forum, and whoever it was that posted "Ghetto Blasphemer" by them first, I love you. They're one of my favorite bands now.

Music:
I have many bands that are very obscure which I love but the most obscure would have to be 'Mar' which is funny because the band introduced me to post-rock music which is now my favourite genre.
It's a one-man band though he gets help from other artists when recording and album, I would love to meet him one day, his music really helps me relax and i'd love to tell him how good a musician he is in person.

Games:
Eternal Silence - This is actually a mod for the source engine but it's a really good game, sadly it has almost nobody that plays it which is a shame because it's so damned good.
For a lot of the game it is a first-person shooter on board large space ships, the objective of each team is to destroy the enemy ship. Now the bit that is really really good is that you can pilot ittle fighter ships wich you can use to attack other enemy fighters and attack the enemy ship from the outside, it's actually got some pretty complex gameplay to it.

Movie:
Ravenous, its a great movie with an awesome sound-track, it was in cinemas but it never really took off which is a real shame.

He's actually quite popular in certain circles.Citizen Sane said:
OT: I listen to a lot of math-rock, which isn't the most well-known of genres, I guess. I also play a lot of indie games, which tend to have small but dedicated followings until they make it onto Steam or XBLA.
Other stuff.. I'm interested in quite a lot of obscure-ish scientific things like morphogenetic fields and stigmergy.
ive been listening to Enter Shikari for a while. theyre a lot less obscure in the UK. and Psychostick are the pluh.KefkaCultist said:

a unique take on the saturated and boring genre of music known as dubstep:
they call it "treedub"

I don't really have any books or movies I enjoy that I would consider obscure, but for music my favorite artist is The Flashbulb (Benn Jordan) and I also enjoy Xploding Plastix...I'm not sure how "obscure" those are, but when I talk to anyone about them they say they've never heard of them.

Yeah I kinda figured they'd have more popularity in other countries, especially in England since they're from there, but in the states (at least wher I live) they're pretty much unheard of even though they've been on a Kerrang Magazine cover. I saw them at Warped Tour the other week and their crowd was depressingly tiny compared to other bands there (they're awesome live btw).TrilbyWill said:
Also, @TrilbyWill: I love Psychostick. I saw them live at Warped as well and got them to sign a dollar bill of mine. Never heard of the Decemberists so I can't really comment on the obscurity of them.
