Remember Trout Mask Replica

Posted in Uncategorized by waltermilner on December 3, 2007

Trout Mask ReplicaOne of the greatest  albums by Captain Beefheart. Was it coincidence he went to the same high school as Frank Zappa?I think not.

Favourite  track title: Neon Meat Dream of a Octafish

What did Matt Groening say about it? “Worst thing I’ve ever heard”

Least strange fact about Captain Beefheart – he is related to Wallis Simpson. Are you a young person wondering who Wallis Simpson was? Well, she was Homer’s grandma.

    A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me ?

    Hi Walter,

    Hey, Matt Groening tells his FIRST impression was “the worst thing he ever heard”. But after repeated listening, he came to think “it was the best record ever made, and still do”. As seen in a Beefheart biographic documentary.

    Hi Maskara. Yes I know. But we are in the realms of neon meat dreams, not Kansas.
