Kopite Girl 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 The whole of 'Trout mask Replica' by Beefheart is worth a listen - if for nothing more than to remind us all what kind of 'far out' stuff he was doing. Him and Zappa worked very closely together. As far as that collaboration goes 'Willie The Pimp' from Zappa's 'Hot Rats' album is mighty. Anyhoo, as for my Beefheart pick - try 'Ella Guru'. Funny and surreal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWNhq0dDr5I And this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaCCKrpCQDM Why thank you. I shall pop in my headphones and allow myself a Jack D a little later. Haven't drank in almost a year. Not a drop. I'll be wasted from the fumes. Still. I deserve Beefheart, a drink and a crazy night. Oh yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be wasted from the fumes. Still. I deserve Beefheart, a drink and a crazy night. Oh yeah. Good. I expect a full detailed analysis of the evening; thoughts on Zappa/Beefheart, how much you ended up drinking and you general condition of attire (including amount, colour and appropriateness).

Grabthaw the Hammerslayer 4 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 Prog Rock? Frank Zappa? Captain Beefheart? Have I stumbled into the "I have a tie dye t-shirt and an afro and I'm proud of it" music site??? Hey guys, I hear Hawkwind are releasing a new quadruple album with a 97 minute track entitled "I am an elf and I can fly" composed using Pringle tins and a guitar with strings made from the pubic hairs of 18 year old virgins.....

dribbler 6 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 This is awfully specific for a general music thread. Damn. I was about to start a discussion on the melancholic nature of minor chords and the psychology surrounding why they make us feel differently to the uplifting nature of major ones. Prog Rock? Frank Zappa? Captain Beefheart? Have I stumbled into the "I have a tie dye t-shirt and an afro and I proud of it" music site??? Hey guys, I hear Hawkwind are releasing a new quadruple album with a 97 minute track entitled "I am an elf and I can fly" composed using Pringle tins and the a guitar with strings made from the pubic hairs of 18 year old virgins..... Looks like I'll have to re consider my latest idea for a concept album.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dribbler 6 Report post Posted October 12, 2011 The ale has all gone and I am baby weary. Looking out across the night sky and wondering about the unknowns of the world throught the amber glow of street lights and the distant whine of motorway lorries, I'm giving tonight's final world to that wonderfully elusive and intriguing lady, Kate Bush. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOwyRd9PPBk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massa 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2011 About 1000 of my about 1800 songs on Spotify (would be more, but no Mike + The Mechanics, no Hootie and the Blowfish, no Frankie Goes to Hollywood...) are Simple Minds (and associated Jim Kerr solo stuff), Depeche Mode (and associated Martin Gore solo stuff), and Tears For Fears (and associated Curt Smith solo stuff, and Roland Orzabal's solo stuff which he mostly released as Tears For Fears after Curt Smith left in my year of birth anyway). Essentially, I just have everything all three bands ever released...and every version of it, every cut, every remix, every live performance released. Really been in a Tears phase lately. I love "The Hurting" as an album, though I also love the collection of rarities and B-sides called "Saturnine Martial & Lunatic." Just some really bizarre tracks, really cool stuff. I also listen to some harder stuff/metal more recently, but only if it has a high level of musicianship which you would think is the last thing a guy who listens mostly to new wave would require. But I'm not a very angry person at all, and just having a lot of noise and yelling isn't for me. The lighter stuff and the more progressive stuff is the best. Porcupine Tree is incredible. And then there's me and my silly "adult alternative" top 40 pop stuff like Matchbox Twenty/Rob Thomas and Dave Matthews. In short: you shouldn't add me on Spotify because all my playlists are **** and I know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good stuff Eric - love Tears for Fears, The Hurting was a massively under-rated album. My wife got sick of me playing Raoul and the Kings of Spain though :-) She kept going "Raoooooooooooouul".....
