Captain Beefheart and the Magic band Doc at the Radar Station (Vinyl - Virgin, 1980) ****
Genre: Alternative (Universe)
Places I remember: Real Groovy (Auckland)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Sue Egypt
Gear costume: Hot Head is a great lead off track.
Active compensatory factors: The back cover image of Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart) sums him up better than words can.
At first glance, all appears normal. The band are in natty shirts and ties, resplendent with fashionable tie clasps.
But, then, when you take a closer look...
... you notice that Cap's tie clasp, is, in fact, a clothes peg!!! Genius!
Where do they all belong? There's no other place to go but deeper into Captain Beefheart's world. Ice Cream For Crow was two years away.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence - ROBERT FRIPP. Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; MUSIC IS THE BEST - FRANK ZAPPA. I think we're a little happier when we have a little music in our lives - STEVE JOBS. Music in the soul can be heard by the universe - LAO TZU. Rock and Roll is fire, man. FIRE. - DAVID BRIGGS. Music grips you, gets into your soul - GEORGE MARTIN
