Pork Chop Blue Around the Rind

Search: Veterans Day Poppy
by: Fast'n'Bulbous

Release Date January 31, 2005
This album by the Gary Lucas/Philip Johnson lead band, is chocker with excellent interpretations of Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart) tunes - perhaps you will consider not that surprising from the title!

The reworking is will have met with Van Vliet's full approval, maintaining the musical essence of the originals (see below), while adding something new. This is also classic Cuneiform Records music, i.e. difficult to pigeonhole: quirky rock with odd time signatures a la Beefheart, jazz ranging from free improv to tight arrangements, even hints of New Orleans funeral procession marches and (maybe, just maybe) the new jazz of New York City's Lounge Lizards. And as even the instantly identifiable style of Gary Lucas's guitar sound ... Read More:

Trout Mask Replica [CASSETTE]

Search: Veterans Day Poppy
by: Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

Release Date October 17, 1990
this is GENIUS. I know it seems hard to get into but it's not really. Once you, yes dare i say it, 'get it' then you will listen to hard zappa, varese, meshuggah, like it was abba. but that is to take away from this slice of magnificent music. listen, I'm just sparing you my brothers review which will, like other reviews, indicate this as the best album ever made. For those that have difficulty on these pages, grow up. and if you want to sing along, buy clear spot.

I wanted to be cool and say i have a captain beefheart album and be cool but not actually like the music etc

Railroadism: Live in the USA 1972-1981

Search: Veterans Day Poppy
by: Captain Beefheart

Release Date May 12, 2003
I have waited some three years to write this review. Three years since I ordered this from England with great timidity. Three years since I placed the disc in my CD player and three years since I was overjoyed at what I heard.

Why, you might ask have I waited three years. Well, to be honest, I have been waiting for more material to emerge from Britain because there is clearly material around and much more importantly, in England at least there appears to be a coterie of fans who are ready, willing and able to purchase this material. In fact I have today ordered yet another album of outtakes and live material.

Regular readers may recall the trepidation with which I approached magnetic Hands as set out in my review for Amazon. There was ... Read More:

21st Century Mirror Men CD + DVD

Search: Veterans Day Poppy
by: Magic Band

Release Date May 16, 2005
I am a huge fan of this band and this music,but this realese is a MAJOR diaaspointment.The CD sound quality is strictly "off the board" and is muddy with no low end clairity (bass and drums are a mess when you can hear them).Some songs sound better then others.None sound great.Bootleg quality at best.The "DVD" is 5 songs shot from the back of the hall with a cam-corder intercut with a couple of hand held shots from in front of the stage.Thats IT.If you want to hear this group,you are better off getting "Back To The Front" or stick with the original albums.
