He died at the wrong time of year for me. I think he's a summer only artist so I've been resisting re-visiting the stuff I've heard and exploring some of the stuff I haven't. I heard Lick my decals off, baby on y/t today a few times and was surprised how TRout mask like it was. I thought TMR was the only time he went that avant garde. Apparently it was his fav. but it's a bitch to get a copy of!
I've bought a c.d with Spotlight kid and Clear spot for £7 off ebay and Dust Sucker from itunes for £8. Still not sure what Dust sucker is or if the title is related to the famous story of when Beefheart went to sell hoovers inc. to A.Huxley. Dust sucker seems to be some kinda bootleg that got official status in some dodgy manner.
