Get an education, listen to Captain Beefheart

I am sick with a crazy fever. The fever won’t go away and at times has been so high that I have started hallucinating. A happy byproduct of my mild hallucinations is that I have scanned the web and found videos of the awesome and illustrious Captain Beefheart. In my never-ending mission to educate the masses about great music, I have posted two videos from the Captain (not to be confused with the “Captain” of Captain and Tennille fame). I really have no idea what Captain Beefheart is talking about, but it doesn’t matter, he is awesome, listen to these two selections and tell me that it doesn’t change your life for the better. In particular, dig the hip Mellotron sounds on Ashtray Heart. (I am not sure if it really is a Mellotron, it is too small and could be a Moog thing, but it sure sounds like one).
