Which is all to say that I know nothing about Bat Chain Puller, so many thanks for the tip off, TH; you're quite right - Owed T'Alex is actually a really good song! I feel a personal Beefheart revival coming on....

It's not like I'm a huge fan of the album, I basically listened to it for the first time for my review here.
And as I said there, it can hardly be called a Beefheart album.
It's a Zappa album, a relatively good one, but one that would be almost completely overshadowed by his better albums.

Ah but you see I don't usually like aggressive music. Maybe that's why I enjoyed those three albums more than I did, and why TMR didn't sit well with me...

OK guys it's the weekend and we've two days left. Still waiting for Pet_Sounds, Grindy, Plainview and, er, Frownland? to drop yer reviews in. Also one album left to be claimed; I won't be taking it as I've already done three.

Extract the digit, as they say...

I'm partying unexpectedly hard. But I should manage to do it by tomorrow evening.

I'm sure the Captain (and Frownland) would heartily approve.

This is very relatable.

It's the last day of Beefheart Week, folks! Let's go....

Hi guys,

I'm really sorry, but I should drop out. As you might have noticed, I haven't been posting much here lately, and that's because my real life has been going off the tracks a bit.

I was looking forward to this, but I don't really have time to commit to it. I might still be able to post something for Supertramp Week, especially because it's one of my all time favourite albums. Apologies for letting you down, but I've got to keep my priorities straight.

No problem man. Real life takes precedence over this place any time. If I can help, or you want to talk, drop me a PM.

Well it looks like I've dropped the ball on this. I'll still try to get my reviews up even though the deadline's passed. If you don't like that TH, then tough ****. Your thread nazism is not for me.
