RIP: CAPTAIN BEEFHEART

Comments (0) | Monday, December 27, 2010

Music lost a true pioneer today. Don Van Vilet, aka Captain Beefheart died of complications from multiple sclerosis at a hospital in Northern California this morning, he was 69.

He was avant-garde and often very much ahead of his time, covering genres including blues, jazz and psychedelia essentially creating "art rock." He was probably most famous 1969's for Trout Mask Replica, (although hard core fans may disagree). Captain Beefheart influenced many artists including Tom Waits, The Pixies, Nirvana, John Frusciante, The White Stripes, The Black Keys, The Kills and Beck.

Van Vilet was also a critically acclaimed visual artist in his later years.


Here's one of my favorites: China Pig

Happy Holidays from She & Him and Conan

Comments (0) | Friday, December 10, 2010

Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward of She & Him played Conan last night. Off air seemed to be where the party was happening, where they played "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from Conan's dressing room.
Zooey's has a knack for Christmas songs as she sings "Baby It's Cold Outside" and "Santa Claus is coming to Town" in the movie, Elf.
During the show She & Him performed "I Put a Spell On You", the Scream Jay Hawkins cover from their first album, with anyone backing them. Zooey's voice front and center and some wonderful M. Ward guitar work.
