Can I have some love for the Captain?!

gmku · 01.09.2008, 03:53 PM

I mean, come on! Safe as Milk! Wow! Trout Mask Replica! Where would we be without it.

I cannot imagine traveling through life without my captain. Can you?

Glice · 01.09.2008, 03:56 PM

Uncle Beefy. He doesn't come around as much as Uncle Willie (Nelson), but he's always a welcome presence.

atsonicpark · 01.09.2008, 03:57 PM

Captain Beefheart is my favorite musician of all time, as you might be aware. I own everything he's had any part in......

That last ep I did was clearly a Beefheart tribute and the next album I do will try to out-Trout Mask Trout Mask.

"Ice Cream for Crow" and "Lick My Decals Off, Baby" are two of the finest albums ever recorded.

I thought you meant this captain:

atsonicpark · 01.09.2008, 05:04 PM

doc at the radar station, the first ever "post punk" album perhaps. Dirty Blue Gene is the best beefheart song.

batreleaser · 01.09.2008, 05:19 PM

i had no idea you were so into beefheart? ive loved him since i found trout mask replica in my dads record collection when i was 15, and thats when i rarely would listen to anything that wasnt at least in some way related to punk rock.

racehorse · 01.09.2008, 05:29 PM

i have only trout mask - safe to say i think it is fantastic - i have been meaning to check out others...

Norma J · 01.09.2008, 05:31 PM

I need to get me some of his studio albums. I only have a few compilations of his. which don't overally flow that well. Still a good listen though.

atsonicpark · 01.09.2008, 11:11 PM

John Peel said it best.

"If there has ever been such a thing as a genius in the history of popular music, it's Beefheart…I heard echoes of his music in some of the records I listened to last week and I'll hear more echoes in records that I listen to this week."

Cantankerous · 01.09.2008, 11:13 PM

i was hoping this would be dedicated to captain morgan's

but i'll settle for captain beefheart

One of my finest finds in a Goodwill (charity/thrift store) was a promo copy of Mirror Man for 53 cents.

gmku · 01.10.2008, 07:24 AM

53 cents! Man.

I've loved the Captain since around 87 when I picked up a TMR LP reissue on a whim. I'd just traded some records for cash at this record store, and they had TMR propped up on display on the counter. Just one copy. Used, I think. I took one look at the cover and just knew it was an album for me. The manager, who was kind of a jerk, said, "Ah, I just knew you'd go for something weird." Well, I'm glad I did. I'd heard of Doc and Ice Cream before, when they first came out, but I was buying so much other shit then that they kind of slipped away from me.

The Captain's easily in my top 5 favorites of all time.

gmku · 01.10.2008, 07:25 AM

I don't have a complete catalog. Still missing Unconditionally Guaranteed, Clear Spot, and Mirror Man. How do they compare with the rest?

EvdWee · 01.10.2008, 08:00 AM

clear spot is the one i am listening now. first album is heard from him. some quality guitar songs on it: big eyed beans from venus, clear spot, nowadays a woman...

the cd is in combination with the spotlight kid.

RdTv · 01.10.2008, 08:01 AM

Mirror Man is all I have on vinyl and I like it. Its recorded live in LA in '65, kind of a blues jam record with cool vocals by the Captain.

gmku · 01.10.2008, 08:19 AM

Wow, 65. I didn't realize it was that early.

RdTv · 01.10.2008, 08:20 AM

Me neither

atsonicpark · 01.10.2008, 10:02 AM

I actually have lick my decals off, baby on vinyl. $5.

atari 2600 · 01.10.2008, 10:04 AM

sure...love...here you go...love...love u captain wherever you are...

i wonder how many threads we've had about beefheart...an adequate amount or an inadequate amount?
