What are you listening to? Part XXX - Sexxxy tunes for sexxxy folks

Finally going to get @F.U.B.A.R. into Norwegian Black Metal =D
Trust me listen to this, it's amazing & she has taken the "Rawness" of early Mayhem & made it into something else all together!!!!!

 
Not sure if any one else reading is as much into the acoustic guitar, and folk music in general, as me.

But a discussion elsewhere on social media just reminded me of this gem of a theme song for Detectorists, which was such a fantastic TV series.

And I very much enjoyed giving it a few re-listens. I'll probably have to try and download the show now, as I've not seen it for a few years, and would no doubt really enjoy a re-watch at this point.

@fastandbulbous asked a while ago if anyone could guess where his screen name comes from. Neither I, nor anyone else could, IIRC. (Could have cheated and used a search engine but didnt!)

Anyway, there's a clip that does the rounds on social media of a golden retriver or labrador playing a keyboard and cymbal drum with his paw, biting a baloon air trumpet to make it parp, and hitting a bass drum with his wagging tail to string his composition together.

This clip reminded me of certain sections of Captain Beefheart's 'music' on Trout Mask Replica.

Due to the atonality, and polyrythmia or avant-garde jazz like feel.

Anyway, while trying to listen to parts of that album again last night, and listening to other peoples research and opinions about it, the words "fast and bulbous" came up. As CB, the musicians, and many listeners found the phrase so funny. So I now have the origin! (or at least it's one source of where it comes from) Also the lyric @AlsoTapered featured in the same 'piece' below. (I thought he was referring to a benzo taper. But it seems not!)

The album nearly always features in all time top tens, and is highly influential. But remains highly divisive as to whether its total crap, or genius.

Apparently CB did not know how to play the piano, but yet he composed the entire album on a piano, in a matter of hours. Surely that is a strong case for the album being utter garbage. But then he gave the material to his musicians and asked them to play it. Some of the notes don't even exist on other instruments. It took the band months of practice to be able to play it! In that sense it is genius to learn to play such atonal, polyrythmic music that sounds like it was made up as they went along. In a sense CB did do so, but his musicians had to learn to be be able to repeat the same thing, and to keep it tight. That aspect is genius level, on the part of his musicians.

If I was to do what Beefheart did, it would of course just be utter crap. But CB was fortunate that he went to school with Frank Zappa and they were friends. And Zappa owned a record company and gave CB complete creative freedom to record w/e he wanted.



And this track is one of the much more musical ones on the album. You can hear the influence it's had on many alternative bands.


(Fast and bulbous) fast and bulbous
(Hey, do it again) I love that, I love those words
Fast and bulbous, that's right, the mascara snake
Fast and bulbous
Bulbous, also tapered (yeah but you gotta wait until I say it)
Also, a tin teardrop (oh, christ)
(Again, beginning)
Fast and bulbous, that's right, the mascara snake
Fast and bulbous, also a tin teardrop
Bulbous, also tapered, that's right

Pena, her litle head clinking like a barrel of red velvet balls
Full past noise
Treats filled her eyes turning them yellow like enamel-coated tacks
Soft like butter, hard not to pour
Out enjoying the sun while sitting on a turned-on waffle iron
Smoke billowing up from between her legs made me vomit beautifully
And crush a chandelier
Fall on my stomach and view her from a thousand happened facets
Liquid red salt ran over crystals
I later band-aided the area, sighed, oh well, it was worth it
Pena pleased but sore from sitting choose to stub her toe
And view the white pulps horribly large in their red pockets
"I'm tired of playing baby," she explained
And out of a blue felt box let escape one yellow butterfly the same size
Its droppings were tiny green phosphorous worms
That moved in tuck and rolls that clacked and whispered in their confinement
Three little burnt scotch taped windows several yards away
Mouths open to tongues that vibrated and lost saliva
Pena exclaimed, "that's the raspberries"
