I ain’t racist, homes, I’m just allergic to cats in heat. I’m also a hater of coons shaggin’ the
night away in my back yard. It might be ‘art’ but that kinda art only lacks an ‘f’ to put it in
a different category.

Re Trout Mask Replica:

Captain Beefheart, the only true dadaist in rock, has been victimized repeatedly by public incomprehension and critical authoritarianism.

The tendency has been to chide C. B. and his Band as a potentially acceptable blues band who were misled onto the paths of greedy trendy commercialism.

What the critics failed to see was that this was a band with a vision, that their music, difficult raucous and rough as it is, proceeded from a unique and original consciousness.

This became dramatically apparent with their last album [TMR].

Since their music derived as much from the new free jazz and African chant rhythms as from Delta blues, the songs tended to be rattly and wayward, clattering along on wierdly jabbering high-pitched guitars and sprung rhythms.

But the total concept and its execution was more in the nature of a tribal Pharoh Sander/Archie Shepp fire-exorcism than the ranting noise of the Blue Cheer strain of groups.

Thus it's very gratifying to say that this new album is a total success, a brilliant, stunning enlargement and clarification of CB's art.

Which is not to say that it's in any sense slick, "artistic," or easy. This is one of the few bands whose sound has actually gotten rawer as they've matured, a brilliant and refreshing strategy.

Again the rhythms and melodic textures jump all over the place (in the same way that Cecil Taylor's do), Beefheart singing like a lonesome werewolf screaming and growling in the night.

The songs clatter about: given a superficial listening, they seem boring and repetitious.

It's perhaps the addition of saxophones (all played by the five men in the band) that first suggests what's really happening here and always has been happening in this group's music.

What Missy Ono tries to do, well, you all have seen the train wrecks.

"'Shield for your eyes'" should be played at FULLFUGGINVOLUME!!!"

Absolutely, and even better when heard live at max volume in a good venue. Yasuko is five foot nothing at most and absolutely owns that stage when she performs. The fact that the guitar player is a stone genius doesn't hurt either.

Ha! Beefheart. Memories of listening to the Dr. Demento show at night on an Anchorage, Ak. radio station that I picked up by running a wire out a window and up a tree.

Do you have to "like" it in order for it to be art?

It can be disturbing and offensive and still be art

I was going to get all contrite, but naw, I stand by what I said. Why are we still talking about her? Because she contributed more to most of our lives than ANY OF YOU. Ok, maybe Werner and Tami have to be excepted.

Uh, she NEVER paid one cent towards my mortgage AND I am unanimous that she
NEVER was a voice coach for Kiri Te Kanawa.

So we have to like Yoko because she is Asian even though her "music" blows and if we don't we are racist? Well that makes zero sense.
