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.

About Rob

Rob co-founded BCB with Mary Dowson, back when the hills were young and it were all flat caps an chappatis round 'ere. It was known as Bradford Festival Radio then, and thanks to the generosity of Dusty Rhodes we got started. Now he takes photos, puts little silver discs in drawers, mumbles into microphones, and walks on the hills. Keep On Blowin..

    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.
