  • oh my.... CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT

    i want it to penetrate my brain again and again.

    weird, but... i feel free when i listen to this song.

  • "Doctor Dark" one of Beefheart's most amazing compositions ever

    Totally bitching from beginning to end, had a go at counting the changing time signatures oh Magic Band how they swing !

    Intro Guitar + Drums : 7/8 leads to

    Section A 4/4 + B 4/4

    C 6/4

    D Guitar and Bass 9/8 (phrased 4/8 + 5/8),

    E Bridge Riff 2/4, Guitar and HiHat unison 12/8

    Reprise A 4/4

    Outro Guitar/Bass 6/4

    ....all in under 3mins ... sweet

  • The Cap'n sounds a little like a demented, alternate-universe Van Morrison at the end of this song

  • With Trout Mask and Decals released so soon together, both albums helped me survive high school. Some have JD Salinger as teens. I still have Captain Beefheart.

  • @Drunkenmo lmfao, that's amazing, considering how much don did for the acceptance and understanding of the schizophrenic mind. If Don hasn't read Deleuze and Guattari I will/would be very surprised....

  • @yesfan951 I must say, as with many of my all favorites/life changing records, I couldnt understand shit the first 2 or 3 times I heard this, my brain was collapsed, but I was amazed, astonished, inloved. Never stoped listening to the Don after that.

  • @CK2890 Ahhhhhh okay; my mole stake. Thanks for clearing that one up.

  • @Drunkenmo thats not true he said he liked rotten but thought sid vicious was schizo

  • @yesfan951 how is this song obscure?

  • @fastguild2007

    as soon as they do, it will replaced with an even stranger mind ;)
