i used to be into zappa, he's seriously not worth it unless you're _really_ into the toxic masculinity thing, which i don't get the impression you are
that's unfair, Zappa has like 75 studio albums, "the toxic masculinity thing" is only on 70 of them

this is just to say that i could listen to "kandy korn" over and over again for the rest of my life
honestly the Daphne & Celeste version captures the essence so well I don't really wanna hear the original anymore
― frogbs, Thursday, 13 August 2020 18:55 (three years ago) link
FPed. Which original?
― Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2020 19:08 (three years ago) link
(xp) Actually I'd never heard that version before, it just reinforces what a genius song it is.
― Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2020 19:11 (three years ago) link
Love the Daphne & Celeste version but the one on Mirror Man Sessions is in my top 10 tracks of all time.

the daphne and celeste version of "kandy korn" is good, but i do think my favorite is the version from the magic band's second '68 peel session. unfortunately good quality recordings are hard to come by - that particular track is around in slightly better quality than the rest of the session from an alternate off-air recording. i also like this older famitracker take:

Stopping by to affirm Brad is 100% otm abt the Strictly Personal stuff (which I've only heard on the Complete Mirror Man Sessions)

CMMS really does a great job of bridging the gap between Safe as Milk and TMR
― more haim than good (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 14 August 2020 03:39 (three years ago) link
I supplemented my digital copy of "The Mirror Man Sessions" with the bonus tracks from the 1999 reissue of "Safe As Milk", they make a great extension and give a complete picture. There might be more from these sessions on the "Grow Fins" box but I don't think they're critical.

Don't remember seeing this thread before the past week; it's gotten me looking around---a bunch of skeevey-looking CDs still on Amazon (several of which I bought quite a few years ago), but also, discovered that they now have a nicely-priced legit-looking Decals (ditto several others that I already have), also I'm Goning To Do... on mp3 (and a bunch of other Rhino Handmades likewise, incl. Television's Live at the Old Waldorf and that monster Fugs box). Grow Fins mp3 is $49.49, much less than even the used CD edition on there.I've just finished first listen to Albums That Never Were's version of It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper, different from the Sundazed, and, as always, he tells you exactly what and why and how he used which materials---sound is crisp, well-defined without getting anal about it (I listened to the flac; also offers mp3s: 2 "discs," 45 minutes each):http://albumsthatneverwere.blogspot.com/search/label/captain%20beefheart

That Decals is legit--it, Clear Spot, and Spotlight Kid were broken off from the now OOP Rhino "Sun Zoom Spark" box.

It seems like most of the MIA Bizzare/Straight titles have been reissued physically and digitally now, although several of the former may not be in-print as of late.

― Mark G, Friday, 1 January 2021 14:48 (three years ago) link
there's four killer tracks on the Grow Fins box that iirc are live videos

Probably the stuff they shot for the Beat Club? 1971 two drumkit/ two guitar/ bass line-up.
― Eggbreak Hotel (Tom D.), Friday, 1 January 2021 18:46 (three years ago) link
The Beat Club Booglarize is way better than the Spotlight Kid version.
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 1 January 2021 18:50 (three years ago) link
The Beat Club video I thought was amazing as you could actually see how some of that stuff was played.
