yeah...Zoot Alures has some good guitar, but then came the dross....from Shiek Yerbouti, well it was STRICTLY COMMERCIAL....
LOVE Roxy And Elsewhere, another live show from 1974 i think.
Still we got a few later gems....City Of Tiny Lights for one
Enjoy the holidays Waxy and keep the good sounds playing.
P.s. how d,ya like the "Waxy" nickname?
"Dreamed i Was An Eskimo......" |

like the WAXY fine, very 'posh'.
that Shiek Yerbouti stuff is just bad. I prefer the instrumental Zappa, if you know what i mean.
Maybe now the estate will release the original Bat Chain Puller.
I even like the Moonbeams album and think that Unconditionally Guaranteed is a great record.

I saw him at Newcastle's Club a'Gogo in '67. Other than the fact a girl nicked my CND badge, I can't remember much about the gig and I didn't then buy his album, so I obviously wasn't all that blown away. Probaly the music was just a bit too chaotic for me.

I have 1 Beefheart album CD: Safe As Milk, which I like.
He was definitely an original artist, who put the art first, and the commercial aspect on the back-burner. I'm sad he left us before he was able to maybe do a last shot at the studio, or a return of some sort live show. I remember just one lyric of a song, ..." She stuck out her tongue, and the fun begun.." I did have some personal interaction with one of his Magic Band drummers, Robert Williams, who I served as one night roadie and driver for him when he was in band, Tex And The Horse Heads, and now wish I had asked him about the Captain. He asked what I had to play on my cassette player in my van, as we were driving to the gig, and I put on "Electric Ladyland", and off we went!
.......I've always respected Vliet's art and guts, and out-there non-conformist alien thing. In this world of cookie-cutter "music", and so called, "indie", he was special, and in his last years, devoted much of his energy to paintings of fine art. Good for him, and hope he rests in peace.....and is appreciated for his awesome blues/jazz/psych-jam roots/spoken word poetry stew!
I did sort of meet Van Vliet once in the early '70s at Ralph's Supermarket in Woodland Hills, where I noticed him standing in an isle staring at me and my mother. My sister did meet him once in the late '60s when she was hitchiking, and he picked her up, and asked her to give him head, and she didn't know what that meant, and nothing happened.
...what the world needs now... |

Probably was, in the music thing when everyone talks stuff about you means you're a chump, you don't see any whiny stuff on mick jagger, and it ain't because he ain't done anything ,its because he can afford to sic 100 lawyers on you.
You dont think that someone would write one of those whiny books on Mick Jagger, even if went into someones house and stole the manuscript for the songs, and then put his name on them, do you? |
