I'll sort you a link or two. It's just Trout Mask you've got at the moment right?

As for my personal favourite it's a tie between Ice Cream For Crow, Trout Mask and Lick My Decals Off Baby, for now anyway (haven't quite got my head around Strictly Personal just yet).

EDIT: Just downloaded Lick My Decals Off, Baby. So I have that as well as Trout Mask now.

I'm thinking of using one of Beefheart's songs in this Poetry Anthology project I have to do for my English class. One of the peoms we have to choose has to be a "popular" song. I haven't looked at the lyrics to much of his songs yet, but I like the style.

Also, Beefheart on Letterman.
Another good interview.

I'll work on getting some linkage going for you guys. Got a full day in uni tomorrow, so you'll have to sit tight 'til Thursday if that's alright

As for the anthology, Beefheart's got a great style. A lot of the songs on Ice Cream For Crow are probably the best examples of his writing at its best, so you could always looks at the lyrics for that album for ideas.

EDIT - Just upping links for the both of you now. PMs soonish.

Just finished downloading all 3. Thanks!

And in .mp3 format, thats nice. The ones I had so far were in .flac format, which is frusterating because I can't burn cds for them and listen to them with my cd player on a long car ride. I can't seem to find any good free converters, and when I finally found one that was supposed to be able to convert .flac files to .mp3 and it had a free, full 30 day free trial, it gave me an error message when I tried converting Trout Mask. Sigh...

my friend gave me an original LP for my birthday


I think Doc at Radar station has been my fav, right along with Bat Chain Puller

then I really like the debut album alot! Safe as Milk
Its extremely interesting within context of everything

especially since Doc at R S was first one I got...

I'm very late getting into Beefheart. I have no excuse considering the music i listen to these days. Picked up Safe As Milk, Trout Mask Replica and Lick My Decals Off, Baby recently and i love the first and last already - whilst with a few more listens im sure i'll fall in love with Trout Mask. Good stuff.

Captain Beefheart is very amazing. I have Trout Mask Replica, Lick My Decals Off, Baby, Doc at the Radar Station, and Safe as Milk. I love all of them, what should I go for next?

I am so surprised that this thread has thus far been free of haters.
They're all in frownland I suppose.
