    I never know if Talking Heads were the most underrated band of the late-70s - mid-80s or not.
    Their first five álbuns are must-haves, the double-live The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads puts most live albums to shame....but I lost interest in em from Speaking In Tongues onwards. ..

    An amazing ´lost gem´ of an album from 1977, of which this is the title-track.
    The Isley Brothers meet Stevie Wonder meets Sly & The Family Stone: trippy, soulful, big arrangements:

    Joking aside, the thing is with The Bjorlock is, I can't really get into her stuff, I like the anomaly of ´Oh So Quiet´, that fluke hit of´Big Time Sensuality´.
    And she´s a fuckin weird-looking, weirdo anyway - I dont like women who are weird, especially female music artists.

    I suppose the one good aspect about The Bjorlock, (and what I think what many people enjoy about The Bjorlock) is clearly she is mega-talented which you can´t deny...but also her expressiveness.

    Captain beefhearts ten rules for guitar:

    1. Listen to the birds
    That’s where all the music comes from. Birds know everything about how it should sound and where that sound should come from. And watch hummingbirds. They fly really fast, but a lot of times they aren’t going anywhere.

    2. Your guitar is not really a guitar
    Your guitar is a divining rod. Use it to find spirits in the other world and bring them over. A guitar is also a fishing rod. If you’re good, you’ll land a big one.

    3. Practice in front of a bush
    Wait until the moon is out, then go outside, eat a multi-grained bread and play your guitar to a bush. If the bush doesn’t shake, eat another piece of bread.

    4. Walk with the devil
    Old Delta blues players referred to guitar amplifiers as the “devil box.” And they were right. You have to be an equal opportunity employer in terms of who you’re brining over from the other side. Electricity attracts devils and demons. Other instruments attract other spirits. An acoustic guitar attracts Casper. A mandolin attracts Wendy. But an electric guitar attracts Beelzebub.

    5. If you’re guilty of thinking, you’re out
    If your brain is part of the process, you’re missing it. You should play like a drowning man, struggling to reach shore. If you can trap that feeling, then you have something that is fur bearing.

    6. Never point your guitar at anyone
    Your instrument has more clout than lightning. Just hit a big chord then run outside to hear it. But make sure you are not standing in an open field.

    7. Always carry a church key
    That’s your key-man clause. Like One String Sam. He’s one. He was a Detroit street musician who played in the fifties on a homemade instrument. His song “I Need a Hundred Dollars” is warm pie. Another key to the church is Hubert Sumlin, Howlin’ Wolf’s guitar player. He just stands there like the Statue of Liberty — making you want to look up her dress the whole time to see how he’s doing it.

    8. Don’t wipe the sweat off your instrument
    You need that stink on there. Then you have to get that stink onto your music.

    9. Keep your guitar in a dark place
    When you’re not playing your guitar, cover it and keep it in a dark place. If you don’t play your guitar for more than a day, be sure you put a saucer of water in with it.

    10. You gotta have a hood for your engine
    Keep that hat on. A hat is a pressure cooker. If you have a roof on your house, the hot air can’t escape. Even a lima bean has to have a piece of wet paper around it to make it grow.

    Captain Beefheart?

    Listenability: 1/5 anymore would be an insulting to him (especially).
    Resonance: 1/5 ditto.
    Originality: 5/5 Self-explanatory
    Diversity: 3/5 Not as divese as Zappa but still...

    I like records, they're more enjoyable, the ritual the physicality it's quite solemn. Plus i feel like I should pay some actual money for my favourite albums ...and rummaging through old record shops is fun, too. All in all, a nice wee gratuitous luxury

    Another major advantage: changing songs is a pain in the cunt so it reduces that palpable ADHD that comes with having the constant ability to change songs, albums, bands at will. The album goes on and you listen to it

    Literally twice as loud as digital. Have to be careful to turn the amp down switching between them
