To break the attunements of being

I can't help but see an affinity between the 'logic of disintegration' of Theodor W. Adorno's philosophy - a logic which he recognised in the atonality of his teacher, Alban Berg's music, with its tendency towards particularisation and disintegration - and the 'intermittent rhythm' of the music of Don Van Vliet/Captain Beefheart, its dissonance contrived to disrupt the hypnotic banality of what Beefheart called 'that momma heartbeat, that bom, bom, bom', so similar to the phenomenological 'attunements of being' that Adorno sought to shatter. The sky speckled with stars, the sombre ground interspersed with particles of light, is an obvious analogical field for attempting to 'unlock the constellation', a form of speculative thinking which Adorno derived from Walter Benjamin's famous proposition in his Trauerspiel (1928), that ideas are to objects as constellations are to stars. One can therefore form a constellation between Adorno's micrological thinking, focused on fragmentary particulars - figuratively-speaking, from the perspective of the Lurianic kabbalah, sparks of the scattered cosmic body of Adam Kadmon: 'Damadam to infinities!' (Finnegans Wake 18.30) - and Beefheart's application of a convulsive logic that stutters 'in speckled, speckled speculation' (Van Vliet 1969).

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band "Grow Fins Vol. II: The Trout Mask House Sessions" 2xLP. This isn't the first time that I have said it: I prefer this era of The Magic Band without The Captain. The music is so dense and obtuse that I find it far more hypnotic and amazing without Don warbling over top of it. While later versions of the band make difficult and jarring music and it's awesome (late era Captain is my favorite actually), but to me, Trout Mask is far more impressive as an instrumental work. Now, I'm not saying if you played people an instrumental version of the album first that it would be more easily accepted into people's hearts... but I bet more people would get it. The dual assault of this wild music and Beefheart's feral vocals is understandably a lot for most people to digest. The star track of this set is the instrumental take of "Ella Guru", long my favorite Beefheart song. I loved it so much I named my zine I started in high school and ran throughout my college career after that fine jam. #LP #Vinyl #Records #CaptainBeefheart #TheMagicBand #GrowFins #TroutMaskHouseSessions #DonVanVliet #Beefheart #EllaGuru https://www.instagram.com/p/CheFZkLMIcO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Don Van Vliet

Album Number One Hundred Ninety Two “Lick My Decals Off, Baby” is the fourth studio album by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, released in December 1970 by Straight and Reprise Records. The follow-up to #troutmaskreplica (1969), it is regarded by some critics and listeners as superior, and was Van Vliet's favorite. Van Vliet said that the title was an encouragement to "get rid of the labels", and to evaluate things according to their merits rather than according to superficial labels (or "decals"). My copy is on Reprise Records - RS 6420 (always like those Loss Leader releases) Musicians on the album were #donvanvliet vocals, harmonica, and woodwinds; #billharkleroad guitar; #markboston , bass; #arttripp , marimba, drums, and percussion; and #johnfrench drums. French had been arranger and musical director on Trout Mask Replica. Van Vliet ejected French from the group—both figuratively and literally, by allegedly throwing him down a flight of stairs—shortly after Trout Mask Replica was completed, and these roles passed to guitarist Bill Harkleroad. French returned to the group shortly before recording began. #rockandroll #captainbeefheart #repriserecords #straightrecords #theseventies https://www.instagram.com/p/CWVsgv4r1W7/?utm_medium=tumblr
