The land of gloom that Captain Beefheart can't return to now that his smile has stuck.
Also, the opening track on Trout Mask Replica, which sounds rather like a band falling down the stairs without ever missing a note.

Frownland is my favorite @chatpileband.bsky.social song ever, followed by Tape. This whole album has been on repeat for weeks.
As a side note, it trips me out that the central figure in this video is wearing a The Holy Ghost Tabernacle Choir hoodie I designed.

Today's vinyl is Trout Mask Replica. As @lucidfrenzy.bsky.social was saying the other day, this is an album whose reputation has it as far more "difficult" than it actually is, partly I think because people are making the mistake of treating it as something to be understood rather than experienced.
