TWO PART CAPTAIN BEEFHEART ARTICLE

CAPTAIN Beefheart once sang: ‘I may be hungry but I sure ain’t weird.’ The rest of the world might beg to differ.

The cap’n, also known as Don Van Vliet, produced some of the most challenging music of the 20th century, particularly with Trout Mask Replica. This double album released in 1969 has divided critics and fans ever since, with many decrying it as rubbish and the rest hailing it as a masterpiece. It was finally officially accepted as a bona fide work of art in 2011, the year after his death, when it was inducted into the National Recording Registry, a list of sound clips which ‘are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States’.

 NOTICE

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have also noticed that the Gonzo Multimedia websites have changed and are in a process of flux, so there are no individual sales links at the moment. But check out www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk for a thing of wonder.

There is a hunky-dory, all singing, all dancing, Gonzo Publications website is now pretty well done, although there arve still nine authors who need personal pages. You can find it at www.gonzopublishers.com and then tell me what a clever fellow I am. It even has a haiku to explain why some links are not finished:

"These links do not work, now but they will do so soon, we apologise"

Enjoy.
