It was about Jeff & Akbar's coffee shop and what was going on. One of the weekly events was a band called Atonal Hootenanny.<br /> I do like lots of music, but free form/acid/improv jazz just always rubs me the wrong way. The parts where there is a melody are nice, but I feel like it gets overwrought by they banging away (not to mention the seemingly forced facial expressions).</p> I remember reading a “Life in Hell” comic years ago.

Not the music. The music is impressive, but I find his facial expressions off-putting to the point of being disturbing.</p> You don’t find it a little… frightening? Not the music.
