How do I get into Beefheart? Is there a flowchart?
>>
Listen to Trout Mask Replica a minimum of eight times
>>
Safe as Milk then TMR
>>

If you aren't already a fan of free jazz or avant-garde music, do not start with TMR. Safe as Milk might be the best place to start.
>>
Thre Captain Beefheart flwo chart?

I would expect it of Yes , but you havce disgusted me


I'm not fixing these typos either, not noew./...,k,,m,k

you'll get it about the sixth time if you're not an idiot, I'd say
>>
>>60542566
yeah you tell him
>>
>>60542186
yup

First thing I do when I wake up is listen to TMR. Then I have breakfast, soybeans of course. After I eat I have my shower where I listen to Trout Mask Replica again. As a cleanser, I like to go for a run where I typically listen to a lighter album like Safe As Milk or even Bongo Fury. When I get back it's lunch time and I'll listen to Trout Mask Replica while I mash my soybeans. While I eat I like to enjoy a nice documentary, specifically one about Captain Beefheart. Following that extended screen time I like to keep my mind sharp with some reading. So I'll read and interpret the lyrics to Trout Mask Replica, of course I have the album playing in the background so I'm 100% focused.

By now my day is going pretty good and I usually want to share it with somebody else. So I'll call up some friends to hang out. We like to play basketball, play tabletop RPGS and watch movies together but mostly we listen to Trout Mask Replica. After we all listen to the album together in our listening circle we head back to my place for dinner where I serve up a mean soybean. Just for the sake of ambiance, I'll play Trout Mask Replica in the background. Dinner conversation tends to be lively as we each share our favorite moments from Trout Mask Replica.

My friends go home after this and while it was fun, it's time to prepare for another big day tomorrow. I'm only human so pardon me if this is graphic but I do enjoy a bit of masturbation before I sleep. I'm not really adventurous, I masturbate to vanilla, lesbian sex and oral but mostly just the cover art of Trout Mask Replica. Following that I clean myself up and unwind with a bit of music; Trout Mask Replica being my favorite. That's when I hop into the shower for a brief and relaxing warmth, I'm pretty clean by now I just want to ease up my muscles. Then it's time for bed. Being something of an audiophile I like to listen to music while I sleep. After I hit play to start up the song "Frownland" I drift to sleep.

Tbh you really dont need a flowchart, just listen to TMR and than repeat the process until it clicks because nothing can prepare you for TMR

drunk and misanthropic is the best mood combo to be into beefheart, theres no better music for being belligerently angry at reality

Safe As Milk -> Mirror Man -> Trout Mask Replica -> Lick My Decals Off, Baby -> Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) -> Ice Cream for Crow -> Doc at The Radar Station -> The Spotlight Kid -> Clear Spot

the rest is pretty worthless imo

Also i didn't put Strictly Personal because the producer fucking ruined every track and released something Captain Beefheart didn't approve. If you want to listen to those tracks you should listen to the 1999 reissue of Safe As Milk and instead of Mirror Man The Mirror Man Sessions, both contain most of the tracks that were supposed to come out on Strictly Personal without any intervention from the producer.

>>60544146
but its so psychedelic and that's what the kids are buying these days!
>>
>>60544191
Yeah but it sounds like shit, they tried too hard.
>>
>>60544204
It was sarcasm, I agree they fucked it
Not a bad album by any stretch though, I have the OG vinyl and it gets played from time to time

Actually, my introduction to Captain Beefheart was Strictly Personal. It sounded like the album Cream WISH they put out. I loved it immediately.

Captain Beefheart can be a little daunting at times, and I'd suggest you listen to Frank Zappa's more off the wall material before diving head first into TMR.

If you're interested in Captain Beefheart, and aren't familiar with his material, I'd recommend Safe as Milk, and The Legendary A&M sessions as an introduction, and keep in mind that it gets more like an acid trip with every album following Strictly Personal. It gets good and weird, and very jazzy/bluesy.

One should make sure that they are already a fan of jazz, blues, and the avante garde beforehand.

The 7 bonus tracks on the 1999 Safe As Milk reissue are so fucking good. On Tomorrow is one of my favorite instrumental tracks of all time.
