What a week ... DVD
Captain Beefheart - Lost Broadcasts (2012)
finally surfaced ...
... will the die-hard fans of the Captain and his Magic Band sigh, the recordings for Radio Bremen in 1972. One of the tracks did all his round but now all four tracks including image released by Gonzo Multimedia, plus three versions - there was something wrong technically and Beefheart was visibly unhappy - the great "I'm Gonna Booglarize You ', a bass solo Roy Estrada and a band intro.
This DVD is short, about 30 minutes, but a special piece in Beefheart's history and show him in his finest hour. Moreover, the sound good and the images are sharp, though there are some strange camera movements. And what did these men look great with their colorful, alternative clothing and their "weird" behavior, completely absorbed in the strange, hypnotic music and the lyrics of the captain. Which in turn growling and declamerend but good singing his image to life drop in "Click Clack", "Golden Birdies" and "Steal Softly Thau the Snow '. Beefheart, also known for his work with Zappa, became in the years 90 in the versukkeling by a muscle disease, began to focus on painting and died in 2010. An illustrious artist who still asserts its influence. Just listen to the singing poet Copernicus where
Afterglow regular attention indicates. Beefheart, a legend. (Harry de Vries, what a week 32)

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?
Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
