Show Notes

BEEFHEART TRIES TO GET COMMERCIAL!  And fails. Songwriter Austin Aeschliman (Smashy Claw, Ash Lemon & His Sour Grapes, Needlejuice Records) guides through the strange Captain's strangest record… because he’s trying to be normal.  How much less crap and band members willing to put up with when you’re not paying them? Has any outsider artist ever really crossed over into the mainstream? If you sanded the rough edges off of Captain Beefheart, would you find anything at all underneath?  What are the rules in terms of “finders-keepers” when it comes to a song you left at the end of a tape that was just found in the recording studio? Does anyone - even its creator - actually like this album? And why hasn’t this been used in a TV jingle for Captain Morgan?  We will convene the necessary court marshall to truly investigate it all, on this week’s Detours and Outliers.
