RIP, Captain.

A nifty Zappa/Beefheart album to get is Frank Zappa's "The Lost Episodes", released in 1996. A lot of the early songs on here, from the 1950s, feature Captain Beefheart on vocals. As usual with those two the songs are excellent, but twisted!

I was listening to my Trout Mask Replica 8 track tape a couple of weeks ago. It is a fun disturbing record.

Clear Spot is when he really hit his stride. It's a fantastic record.

It is a fun disturbing record.

Much as how it was made. The Charles Manson of the music world.

I remember watching a docu on the making of Trout... verrrrry strange...

He'd quit music long back iirc...?

RIP Don
