I'd do Bongo Fury as well.
I haven't listened to it for years, don't even remember anything about it.

Oh come on guys! Over seventy views and three replies, only one of which is neither Frown nor I! I thought you guys loved Beefheart? Nobody else interested? We need a few more reviewers. I'm not even a fan but I'm prepared to give this a go; surely some of you are at least curious as to what Frownland is always banging on about? No?

Heard a bit of Ice Cream for Crow so I'll give it a shot?

Alright I'll do Doc and TMR if no ones interested in the latter.

EDIT: didn't see your post. Go for it OccultHawk.
