Mark Boston's beard is epic!

Don stands alone in all he has left to us, why do they mention Frank? FZ stands alone for the exactly the same reasons.

Captain Beefheart sat down at a fucking piano and WROTE this with his mind.

@totemaaaaa where?

Great tune even without the vocals...

I wonder what the squares in tv-land thought of this!

I happen to really love the Trout House recordings (from Grow Fins) where we hear the instrumentals unaccompanied by Beefheart vox. To hear this, one of my favourites, played with a rich full sound is different, but great. This song, one of the mostly segmental songs on TMR, has a strange logic to it that, to me, leads to the climax at 1.46, followed by reflective afterthoughts.

And it annoys me that the first name we hear is Zappa's!

drumbo is always the best

[vollsticks]

Fucking amazing.
