Captain Beefheart's house for sale
Coop says: "The Woodland Hills home in which Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band recorded the legendary Trout Mask Replica LP is for sale.
"At $849,900, it's a little out of my price range, but man, what kinda crazy vibes must be in that place.
...
"I wasn't ready for Trout Mask. In fact, it freaked me out, and not in a good way. It was weird, crazy, chaotic noise, and I didn't listen to it again until a few years later. By then, I was a little older, and although no wiser, I had involved myself in enough bad-for-my-health recreational activities to have a new-found appreciation for the complex sound of The Magic Band's masterpiece. Now it's one of my favorites, (though my all-time favorite Beefheart LP is still the out-of-print follow-up, Lick My Decals Off, Baby.)" Link
