Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.
"The Spotlight Kid" is the only Beefheart album released under his name alone, and the sleeve doesn't credit the band. Imagine how well that went down.
I'm attempting a slight return, using the revelatory remixes from [Ed. - rsrch year pse.] [no- Ed.] adding a couple of outtakes and futzing with the track order. If I ever finish it I'll upload it here.
(I saw the band twice on the Spotlight Kid tour. The most amazingly locked-in and yet EXCITING playing I ever done did see. Respect and awe, kids!)
If your comment doesn't immediately appear, it means Kreemé is checking the handwriting before passing it on to me. I'm a busy man and have no time to decipher crayoned scrawls.
