T'neet on't' B.E.E.F.O.U.T. Podcast! This week, Al B and Db tackle what many consider the nadir of Captain Beefheart's career.

In case your internet machine isn't working, here's the tracks we're looking at... Unconditi...

T'neet! B, DB and Al take a deep dive into Captain Beefheart's The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot—two albums that still split opinion among fans. Coming after the wild, angular chaos of Trout Mask Replica and Lick My Decals Off, Baby, Beefheart dialled back some of the avant-garde madness in favour of heavier grooves, tighter songs and a slightly more approachable sound. For some, that made these re...

T'neet. The genius follow-up to Trout Mask Replica that is "Lick My Decals Off, Baby." Is it a mature Don, or a man all at sea? All of its tracks are pored over, discussed, and ranked alongside those from the somewhat cash-in Mirror Man Sessions which, while technically a fifth LP, was a world away from where Don and the Magic Band were at the time. Join DB, AL, and Brendan as they decide which tr...
