Monday, December 20th, 2010I don’t usually highlight XKCD in this space; I figure those who care already read XKCD, and nothing can persuade the handful of people in my circle who don’t care to read it anyway.

A long, long time ago, the actor we’ve hired to play my good friend Karl gave me a mixtape with parts of Trout Mask Replica on it. (I want to say this same mixtape had the legendary “Get That Screaming B—h Out of My Ear!” on it, but I’m not sure, and I don’t know where that tape is now.) I was always rather struck by “Well“.
Oddly, neither Amazon nor iTunes seem to have Trout Mask Replica, and what Beefheart they have is limited (mostly later works). I’ve also never been able to find the legendary “Lick My Decals Off, Baby” video; it doesn’t turn up on YouTube.
