QUITE POSSIBLY THE HEAVIEST BLUES TRACK OF 1967 -- PURE, STRAIGHT-OUT-THE-SWAMP HEAVY BLUES.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the ultra rare Buddah "Plastic Factory" (b/w "Where There's Woman") single by CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & HIS MAGIC BAND, taken from the recently unearthed mono masters to the Captain's 1967 debut LP "Safe as Milk," released on Sundazed Music as part of Record Store Day Black Friday in 2012.

But, yeah, this track boasts just the murkiest, dirtiest, most menacing blues sound you've ever heard, and with the bass guitar being totally up front in the mix as well, hence the track's power, ferocity, and overall depth.

This ain't the Summer of Love at all, people, and it's just a really super-HEAVY and scary-sounding, no frills, blues cut. The Captain's harp is absolutely masterful as well, and it remains my all-time favorite track on his "Safe As Milk" (1967) debut LP until my inevitable doom. Check that shit out if ya haven't already!

PJ Harvey Reads Beefhart

- “It was a privilege to be able to give life to his words,” singer says of Captain’s poems

Captain Beefhart loved cats.

And PJ Harvey loved Beefhart, aka Don Van Vliet. And Van Vliet loved Harvey and her cat, Garden.

And so he, in 2001, wrote the poem “Man Can’t Anticipate Cat” for Harvey. And she read said poem for the late Beefhart at the London art exhibition “Don Van Vliet: Standing on One Hand” in 2024.

Check it out in the video above.

“Thank you to the Michael Werner Gallery for inviting me to read Don’s poems,” Harvey said in a statement. “It was a privilege to be able to give life to his words whilst standing amongst his paintings.”
