"I'd always thought music was too formal, and I thought 'well, I'll get into this and fix it'."
(Beefheart) am gasit citatul pe situl trupei aternativ-experimentale Oedip Piaf, pe care i-am vazut la lucru exact acum o saptamina, inclusiv pe Mr. Pan(k)sament aka Brushvox aka Ticke. Azi dimineata am primit un sms de la un prieten (not) as reclusive as the Cpt.: Don Van Vliet... well ): the past sure is tense Capitanul a zis ca si-a dat numele de la faptul ca avea" a beef in my heart". Am auzit de el relativ, tirziu in formarea mea muzicala, in anii '90 dupa ce eram destul de familiarizat cu Frank Zappa si cu Tom Waits. Dar dupa ce te aclimatizezi cu Beefheart(thanks, Terje care a insistat-pentru ca la inceput Beef ma chinuia la auz :), e cu ceea ce ramii. Si Tom Waits (care i-a preluat-sa nu zic altceva) mult din stil, a ramas in urma pentru mine forever. Iar acum cind ascult Cpt. Beefheart, simt tensiunea unei muzici unice, total far out, de undeva din desert, sau din the beef from his heart. Unul din cei mai importanti muzicieni ai secolului XX, total avangarde, partener cu Frank Zappa la albumul sau din 1969, Trout Mask Replica, Zappa i-a fost prieten, partener timpuriu, si i l-a produs), a fost votat de revista Rolling Stone nr. 58 in topul 500 de albume. Mojo l-a pus pe locul 28 in top The 100 Greatest Albums Ever Made si #51 in lista The 100 Records That Changed the World. Printre cei influentati de el: White Stripes, Tom Waits, Devo, PJ Harvey, the Talking Heads, Matt Groening (The Simpsons), John Lydon. In 1982, dupa albumul Ice Cream for Crow (1982), Cpt. Beefheart s-a retras din lumea muzicala, suferind de scleroza multipla, raminind pina azi pictorul Don Van Vliet (numele sau real minus Van :), ce-o sa semai vinda picturile lui de-acum inainte (pretul unui Van Vliet era de 40.000 $, acesta e Cross Poked Shadow of a Crow No1: traind intr-un trailer in mijlocul desertului. A murit pe 17 decembrie. Avea 69 de ani. obituaries: yahoonews-informal LA Times-v. good entertainment weekly si aici weekly numeste 5 din albumele lui youtube comment: I hope that he and Frank Zappa are jamming together and trading stories now. further studying: Some Yo Yo Stuff (1993), un film de Anton Corbijn "An observation of the observations of Don Van Vliet and documented on film by Anton Corbijn". Not a music video or concert film. More of an art house film. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band; "Ice Cream for Crow" (1982, regizat de Don clip rejected by MTV USA as "too weird" upon release, now in the Permanent Film and Video Collection of the Museum of Modern Art, NYC; track taken from the 1982 Virgin album Stop the show, I need to say hallo to the crow !
din serialul HBO Boardwark Empire, episodul 5, al carui titlu, Nights in Ballygran e dat de versuri din piesa. Acolo e cintat de Loudon Wainwright III. aici o versiune cu Van Morrison si the Chieftains (de pe albumul Irish Heartbeat)
I wish I was in Carrickfergus Only for nights in Ballygrand I would swim over the deepest ocean The deepest ocean for my love to find
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over Neither have I wings to fly If I could find me a handsome boatsman To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections Of happy times spent so long ago My childhood friends and my own relations Have all passed on now like melting snow
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming Soft is the grass, my bed is free Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus On that long road down to the sea
I'll spend my days in endless roaming Soft is the grass, my bed is free But I am sick now, and my days are numbered Come all you young men and lay me down
