Captain Beefheart
Has anyone else heard of this guy?
i think he was friends with Frank Zappa. Anyways, i downloaded his album Trout Mask Replica last week, and its great. Although reallly spun out, experimental and kinda weird. Its sorta fusion jazz stuff. just great tho. anyway i just had his little intro to one of his songs in my head all day, so i thought i'd post it here, to see if anyone knew what iot meant. Its also a bit of a theme throughout the album, although it takes a long time to absorb, which is a good sign. anyways here it is "a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?" with all its eccentricity, i think its gonna be a while before i remotely understand anything about it...but musically its very good as well, tho beefheart isn't much of a singer, its an aquired taste ![]() also just to make sure this thread isn't too worthless, theres this cool site rateyourmusic.com and its a pretty good site for rating music yourself but also getting other review and referals from other people. good shit. ok i'll leave it there. Also, i will buy trout mask replica, cause i do like it. Its just a matter of fully understanding it... |

The only thing I remember about Captain Beefheart is that a wacky DJ near my hometown played "Click Clack" at least twice a day (probably more) back in 1972 and it drove me nuts.
I might have appreciated his stuff better if it hadn't been for that.
