ever listened to this song (or any other of the Magic Band instrumentals) played in reverse? it's like alien contact all over again...

[37Dionysos]

Guaranteed to clear the room. Captain, you'll always be the captain.

Now, If you can appreciate this music, and this song, like me, you have a good and "unusual" taste of music ;)

[freespeech4u2]

well this is my first time listening to this album, and at the halfway point I gotta say I enjoyed safe as milk more, as much as I hate to say it, milk was more-erm accessible. I never thought I'd say I liked a more accessible album more. but maybe when I'm finished with this one I'll change my mind

[TumbrelJockey]

Now i'm totally bummed-.There will never be another Beefheart..Just blanks copying other blanks."FIN"

[addylewis]

I wanna try PROPERLY learning this with my bands guitarist...I dunno how close we'd get but if we got the wierd riffs bang on and a few of the discords I'd be happy

He doesn't listen to Beefheart at all...what chance do you think I've got?

[RedVynil]

@addylewis If you're both any good, you should be able to make it. This should make it easier: each guitar is in it's own channel, so, each of you should just learn stuff from your own assigned channel. It took the band 8 months to learn to play the entire album, you should be able to get this in next to no time!! Good luck with it!!

Rest in peace, your art is immortal.

Funny you mention getting rid of guests.... I too used to put on a side of TMR late in the evening when the gang was hanging too late. It had this way of making most everyone uncomfortable. They would all-of-a-sudden get up & leave! End of party!

Brilliant, amazing music!

[WhatFuckingUsernameI]

If you liked this listen to a couple of his later instrumentals. I recomend, "A Carrot Is As Close As A Rabbit Gets To A Diamond," and, "One Red Rose That I Mean." Both, incidently covered by Henry Kaiser.

[TumbrelJockey]

Now Ican appreciate him .Used to play this to get rid of boring or uninvited guests.

[sloanmidwestXTC]

@TumbrelJockey LOL that will do the trick

[TumbrelJockey]

@sloanmidwestXTC If that did not work ,I'd bring out my chalkboard !

[mfish618]

@TumbrelJockey TMR, Lumpy Gravy, Weasels Ripped My Flesh, and a few others had a similar effect for me. The funny part was I played them because I wanted to.......I didn't give a shit who left. RIP Don.

@TumbrelJockey ahahaahaha!!!!!

[KingOfWhiteTrash1]

@TumbrelJockey LOL I used to use Zappa's Billy the Mountain the same way. Now? I know that song by heart.

[TumbrelJockey]

@KingOfWhiteTrash1 Grew to love it -the more atonal/discordant/dissonant the better.Now I'd play Beefheart to attract ,rather than repel.
