    B.E.E.F.O.U.T. Pod Episode 8: Odd n Sods Ranked!

    The Beefheart Odd ’n’ Sods episode. A rummage through the stranger corners of the Captain’s world — obscure originals, R&B workouts, Zappa collisions, alternate versions, abandoned ideas, instrumental oddities and various things that probably should have been left in the vault. We’ve got Triple Combination, Willie the Pimp, Diddy Wah Diddy, Debra Kadabra, Light Reflected, Korn Ring Finger, Funeral Hill, Run Paint Run Run and plenty more — with some proper Beefheart material sitting alongside the more curious stuff. Some of it sounds like lost Beef. Some of it sounds like solid R&B. Some of it sounds like Zappa’s band attempting to will Don from memory. Some of it is simply DVV wandering into the undergrowth and seeing what happens. Odd ’n’ sods. Deep cuts. Half-formed things. Strange detours. Good stuff, bad stuff and stuff that leaves you wondering quite what the plan was. And, naturally: “You gold-plated monkey.” Vote on Patreon!!  https://www.patreon.com/c/FALLOUTPODCAST238

    B.E.E.F.O.U.T. Podcast Episode 7: Doc at the Radar Station & Ice Cream for Crow Ranked!

    Hello and welcome to the B.E.E.F.O.U.T. Podcast! This time Al B and DB take on the final stretch of the Captain Beefheart story, ranking Doc at the Radar Station and Ice Cream for Crow — the two extraordinary albums that bookend the Captain's final musical period. Doc at the Radar Station is Beefheart sounding absolutely furious and completely alive: abrasive, weird, powerful and somehow still full of brilliant tunes. Ice Cream for Crow, recorded two years later with an almost entirely new Magic Band, takes things somewhere stranger and more spacious — a final burst of invention before Don Van Vliet sailed off into the desert and left music behind for painting. So which album wins? Which songs have aged like fine wine, which sound like they were recorded on another planet, and where does the Captain's final period sit in the B.E.E.F.O.U.T. rankings? In case yer internet machine isn't working, here's a few of the tracks we're looking at...Hot Head, Ashtray Heart, Run Paint Run Run, Sue Egypt, Dirty Blue Gene, Sheriff of Hong Kong, Telephone, Flavor Bud Living, Ice Cream for Crow, The Host the Ghost the Most Holy-O, Semi-Multicoloured Caucasian, Hey Garland I Dig Your Tweed Coat..etc, etc etc!!

    F.A.L.L.O.U.T.P.O.D.C.A.S.T. EP176: FALLOUT BOOK CLUB #6 "The Fallen" By Dave Simpson! Part 1.

    Hello and welcome to the F.A.L.L.O.U.T. Podcast! This week, Al B, DB and friend of facts Dannyno descend into Dave Simpson's excellent book The Fallen. What starts as a simple look at former Fall members quickly mutates into a labyrinth of ex-members, pre-Fall bands, post-Fall bands, forgotten projects, bizarre career turns and unlikely reunions. Along the way we bump into Karen Leatham, Eric the Ferret and the manager of The Chemical Brothers, plus dozens more familiar—and not so familiar—characters. Armed with Simpson's research, fading memories and misplaced confidence, we attempt to map one of the most bewildering family trees in rock history. We confidently announced this would be a short episode... so naturally, two hours later, we're only halfway through. Expect stories from the book, side roads, forgotten bands, dubious detective work, no investigative instinct whatsoever, plenty of hot takes, and the usual mixture of facts, speculation and affectionate nonsense. Enjoy Part 1, and join us at some indistinct point in the distant future for Part 2. Now... where did I leave that Karl Burns? Cash for votes! Become a patron and help shape future episodes.
