Pictured: Captain Beefheart (r.) & His Magic Band.
“How did the name ‘Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band’ come about?”
“The Great Gnome of Rock’N’ Roll gave us a choice of two names: Captain Beefheart and The Warts, and Ethel Higgenbaum and Her Magic Band. We just combined them. I can’t wait until Ethel Higgenbaum and The Warts cut a record,” said Alex.
“We feel very fortunate that we are associated with A&M,” said Beefheart. “Our music is down home Chicago type country blues and we work well together.”
“What is the trend in popular music as Beefheart sees it?”
“The Supremes may want to change their name to Ethel Higgenbaum and the Warts if Motown goes out of style.”
“Thank you, Captain Beefheart.”
— from KFWB Hitline (1966), quoted in Mike Barnes’ Captain Beefheart.

There’s something else. When we think of someone singing the blues—or gospel, or soul, for that matter—there’s a voice attached to that thought. And it’s gruff, rough, tough, and anything but pretty. One thing the many discrete musics of the Dark Continent have in common is an abhorrence of the “pure” unmodified tone. Take the banjo, for example, where the pure vibrations of the strings are corrupted by the drumhead’s snap. The European way with a string is to isolate its tone and enhance it; give it as much resonance as possible. In Africa, lyres have rattles tied to the ends of the strings, drums have rings of little bells around the heads, some dancers’ masks have kazoos hidden in the mouth-holes, while “other masked singers,” as [Deep Blues author Robert] Palmer remarks, use “deep chest growls, false bass tones produced in the back of the throat, strangulated shrieks, and other deliberately bizarre effects.” This obsession with tonal weirdness is no more odd than the European obsession with tonal purity—nothing in African music could be as strange as the castrati—but its results are certainly less predictable, even after generations of bubbling away at the bottom of the melting pot.
— David Wondrich, Stomp and Swerve: American Music Gets Hot 1843-1924

Whenever I think of blind men, I can’t help remembering the words of Benjamin Péret, who was very concerned about whether mortadella sausage was in fact made by the blind. I find this less a question than a statement, and one containing a profound truth at that. Of course, some might find that relationship between blindness and mortadella somewhat absurd, but for me it’s the quintessential example of surrealist thought.

Pictured: Dr. Alimantado (center).
A similar case is ex–Sex Pistols vocalist Johnny (Rotten) Lydon and his group Public Image, Ltd., who carved out a bleak, alien soundscape by blending dub’s stark spaciness with punk-derived dissonance and minimalism on their influential 1981 recording Second Edition (a key element here was the thick-fingered dub-meets-punk approach of bassist Jah Wobble). Lydon, in fact, is considered another important contributor to the reggae/punk dialogue. As Adrian Sherwood recalled, “a lot of people really looked up to him at that time. John really knew his reggae, he loved his reggae. I can tell you that John Lydon really helped the progress of roots and culture in Britain at that time. It was around that time … that he went on the radio and played Dr. Alimantado’s ‘Born For A Purpose.’ Alimantado was immediately shot to cult status as a result!” Lydon was by no means a centrist figure but he was quite influential, and it was through such conduits that the influence of reggae and dub became gradually audible in more commercial forms of popular music.

It was a cheap structure almost on the order of a mobile home, but much larger inside than it had seemed. A wide hallway went either way out of a foyer where scores of people stood around without having to crowd. A sense of offices, meeting rooms, classrooms down institutional corridors. Directly ahead, double doors opened onto a chamber big enough, from what I could see, to accommodate hundreds. I thought I glimpsed church pews. Folks were wandering inside there to sit. I spotted Flower easily among all the farmers and the farmers’ wives. She stood by the double doors in her black-and-white pantsuit, maybe a bit harlequinesque but very stylish and expensive looking, talking in sign language with a young boy about sixteen. He must have been a deaf boy. I was fascinated. Without voices to help them they used whatever they had, both their faces animated, exploding with emotion, while the quick lively gestures shot down their arms and out their fingers; they worked at it like silent-film actors. And suddenly, reminded of the old silent films, I was struck with an understanding of the empty peace the boy inhabited.

People think I don’t put effort in my playing, but there’s a lot of effort in what I’m delivering. And if they can hear it, they know what is happening there. Forget about this fight you want to put on the drums. Don’t fight the drums, just deliver cooly. I don’t like using force to play the drums, because I know when I have to hit them hard. I know when I want something to be stronger…the flow of Afrobeat has to enter the audience easily. If you don’t catch them quickly with this feel, they might just be standing there and looking at you.

Pictured: The Fugs (l. to r.: Tuli Kupferberg, Ken Weaver, Ed Sanders).
For that first afternoon Folkways session in April 1965 at Cue Recording on West Forty-sixth Street, The Fugs consisted of me, Tuli, Ken Weaver (on conga drum), Steve Weber (on guitar), and Peter Stampfel (on fiddle). I had prepared a sequence of twenty-two songs, in a certain order, and we recorded them in one long flow, then recorded them a second time. Steve and Peter also recorded some of their Holy Modal Rounder tunes during the session.
At first we set up our positions—but seemed uncertain on how to proceed. “Just get going,” [producer] Harry Smith commanded from the control booth, and so we did just that. We arrayed ourselves in front of microphones and began recording the sequence of twenty-two.
In the middle of the session a guy from Folkways showed up with a contract and modest cash for each player. The contract was for “The Fugs Jug Band.” I scratched out the words “Jug Band” on the contract.
Harry, as far as I know, received no financial reward for the recording. He asked for a bottle of rum, which I bought. During the session, I think perhaps to spur us to greater motivity and energy, he came in from the recording booth to the room where we were singing and smashed the bottle of rum against the wall.

NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #471 ~ 11-22-25]
Pictured: Eddie Hazel.
What did it mean to taste the maggots in the mind of the universe? Well, it meant all of it: the lack of self-knowledge outlined in “Free Your Mind,” the consumerism and short-sightedness in “Eulogy and Light.” It was writing that moved away from prose and even poetry into a kind of sloganeering. That made it compact, mysterious, and memorable. But [“Maggot Brain”]’s immortality came from Eddie Hazel’s guitar solo, which occupied most of the rest of the ten-minute track. I remember recording the solo, of course. It’s possible I’ll never forget. Eddie and I were in the studio, tripping like crazy but also trying to focus our emotions. There was a band jam going, a slow groove I knew he could get into, and we were trying to launch his solo. Before he started, I told him to play like his mother had died, to picture that day, what he would feel, how he would make sense of his life, how he would take a measure of everything that was inside him and let it out through his guitar. Eddie was the kind of player who rose to a challenge. If you gave him instructions or a prompt, he’d come around to it. And when he started playing, I knew immediately that he understood what I meant. I could see the guitar notes stretching out like a silver web. When we played the solo back, I knew that it was good beyond good, not only a virtuoso display of musicianship but also an almost unprecedented moment of emotion in pop music. That was the missing ingredient that arrived in time for that song; it was maybe the first time that our emotional ability as artists matched our technical ability as players.

Pictured: Los Destellos.
Her hand, which up till then had laid on the back of the sofa, she now placed on her knee. I stared vacantly at her fingers tracing the plaid pattern of her skirt There was something mysterious about it, as if invisible thread emanating from her fingertips spun together an entirely new concept of time. I closed my eyes, and in the darkness, whirlpools flashed before me. Countless whirlpools were born and disappeared without a sound. Off in the distance, Nat King Cole was singing “South of the Border.” The song was about Mexico, but at the time I had no idea. The words “south of the border” had a strangely appealing ring to them. I was convinced something utterly wonderful lay south of the border. When I opened my eyes, Shimamoto was still moving her fingers along her skirt. Somewhere deep inside my body I felt an exquisitely sweet ache.
— Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun.

Pictured: The Undertones.
‘We were extremely angry young men, and it was a way of getting it out. We lived in Northern Ireland and the option was to go and join the IRA. It was an option that lots of friends of ours took. I didn’t want to join up, out of simple fear. The Undertones was a way of getting out of that situation. People used to ask early on why we didn’t write songs about the troubles: we were doing our best to escape from it.’
— Feargal Sharkey, singer, 1990, as quoted in Jon Savage’s England’s Dreaming: The Sex Pistols and Punk Rock.
