What Are You Listening To Right Now? II

@ Batlord: Perhaps you need this half-hour analysis before you can really enjoy Frownland. ( Either that, or skip along to TMR's Moonlight On Vermont, which is instantly excellent.]

Interesting. While I think it's a very fun and dancey record, I think there's a lot of tension in the instrumentation.

And this has a straight up sample like I'd expect from an instrumental hip hop album. Pretty nifty and something I would never expect to hear from any goddamn album from 1969. And after all that other madness from the other part of the song it was particularly disorienting, which was nice.

Do you mean the ending?

Pretty sure those were neighbours who interrupted the recording because they were playing their horns outside in a bush.

I was wondering who they were. I was thinking they were just random kids they found at a show and talked to for the **** of it.

I just made a nerdy check in my Beefheart biog; they were two kids who wanted a drummer and went round to the band's house on the off-chance. Hair Pie was being recorded with the band in the house and Beefheart playing in the garden, hence his remark, "We're out recording a bush." When the kids realize it's a proper signed-up band, one kid says to the other,"I guess you don't get the drummer."

And my theory is that they open a window at the part where the band gets louder.
