Trout Mask Replica is a brilliant album.

Tom Waits on Trout Mask Replica

Quote:

The roughest diamond in the mine, his musical inventions are made of bone and mud. Enter the strange matrix of his mind and lose yours. This is indispensable for the serious listener. An expedition into the centre of the earth, this is the high jump record that'll never be beat, it's a merlot reduction sauce. He takes da bait. Dante doing the buck and wing at a Skip James suku jump. Drink once and thirst no more.

Here's a cool little infographic I found (kind of small writing though). Also, it's a timeline of the Magic Band itself, as opposed to Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. If you get a chance to see TMB live, ****ing do it because they absolutely nail it.

Not bad! I loves me some infographics.

I love that people love him. He was a true outsider.

A lot. __________________ “The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
