The TV ad for Captain Beefheart’s Lick My Decals Off, Baby – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRlmTzDyw7s
LMDOB was released in 1970 as the follow up to Troutmask Replica and according to Wikipedia reached 20 in the UK album charts, due to John Peel plays.
“Most of the songs began as piano improvisations by Van Vliet. He would record extended improvisation sessions on a cassette recorder. Harkleroad [guitarist Bill, aka Zoot Horn Rollo] then listened to these improvisations, picked out the best parts, and pieced them into compositions.”

This week I have mostly been..
.. listening to Rolling Stones discs of dubious provenance about need, fate, sex, choice, desire, sex, thwarted romance, you get the drift.. and downloading hours of Miles Davis concerts from 1970 and 1975 at Killed In Cars.

That Captain Beefheart TV advert is amazing! A bit like what Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds were aiming at with their internet ads for Dig Lazurus Dig many moons later.
