R.I.P. CAPTAIN


Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band I "Sure 'Nuff 'N Yes I Do" I Safe As Milk
Don Van Vliet was a one of kind artist with true originality and innovation in the style of Delta Blues. Sadly the legend past away last week at the age of 70. He had a profound influence on some of my favourite musicians today including Jack White, Tom Waits, and PJ Harvey. Thank you Captain for you're music and for you're inspiration to many artists, you were one hell of talented man.

The Music I "Karma" I You Might As Well Try To Fuck Me -EP
Beautifully surreal b-side track from an amazing brit band I will always love. Such a shame to hear they have broken up. Their early tracks from when they were just out of high school are a true treasure, their first album was a masterpiece.

WHO'S MESSIAH BE GOOD FOR YOU?


Black Lips I "Veni Vedi Vici" I Good Bad Not Evil

GO 'WAY FROM MY WINDOW...

Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babev It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let your down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you an' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go melt back into the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call
A lover for you life an' nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
