i wasn't laughing at it as if it was stupid or something. As novelty mean something new or whatever. Captain Beefhaert is very different from anything i have ever heard of before, hence it has new or different sound. Thats why i suggested it. Not because i thought it was some stupid shit which everyone could laugh at as a joke. As i said before, i really enjoy listening to it. And i agree with most other saying that his contributions to the rock industry where very important. I also think Beefhearts work would be nmore aptly played in the vein of a novelty station (ie one who plays new or different music, it isn't always about funny lyrics and tongue in cheek etc) than a mainstream station alongside the likes of Britney spears and justin timberlake.
"thats right"
