I think I said earlier in this thread I've only got Trout Mask Replica (which I'm giving another spin at the minute). I'm thinking Safe As Milk or Iced Cream For Crow next.

you want linky linky? I have Safe As Milk and the amazing Lick My Decals, Baby.

I wonder what it would be like to sit down and have a one on one coversation with him. I'm pretty sure it would be a life changing experience.

I could never stand to meet him knowing who he was, I'd say all the wrong things... impossible to get into the 'just talking to a normal human being who's created some art I really like' mode.

And you know he wouldn't be talking about pink bubble marga-fish cobbling the vacant socks under marbled tentacles... the Captain would probably just want a green tea and a nice chat about abstract expressionism. Or trouts.

i'd ask him what he's been upto for the last 20 or so years.

I'll take any Beefheart links as well. I only have Trout Mask Replica right now.

You should look around for "Ice Cream For Crow". Great album but, it was the last as well.
