One of the most amusing things to think of how challenging this must have been for the musicians in Don Van Vliet’s band. When you’re good at a craft, intentionally doing it badly is very difficult. For all the chaos and weirdness in that album, it wasn’t just a bunch of airy free jazz improvisation — it’s literally how it was written and composed.
Agreed. The tracks I’ve heard so far are quite good. Also, their podcast is really enjoyable. Lots of great interviews.
Yeah, I’m gonna check it out… I just found out the other day they have a podcast together!
Hey, I don’t know if you check out kottke, but he has a post about 2 choral renditions of “Nothing Compares 2 U”.
I’m going to give lots of those albums a listen. Plenty I missed. And the book! Gotta see that.
