Titties N Beer, Titties N Beer, Titties N Beer.
Sorry... I couldn't resist. (see Zappa's "Baby Snakes" for explanation... or not). I'm such a Zappa head that when I first signed on to this site the name "Captain Beefheart" just seemed right... like it was destiny.

Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2007 6:58 pmNice to see how eclectic our tastes in music can be. Some of my personal favorites (all dependent on mood and type/location of climbing of course):
Violent Femmes
Social D
Offspring (Smash or anything older)
Black Keys
Ignite
Dead Kennedys
Pixies
The Mars Volta
Pogues
Sigur Ros
The Rapture
anything Celtic (gets the Scottish blood flowing)
Tool
SexPistols
The Loved Ones
Rancid
etc. etc. etc.

Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 3:08 amNot at all surprised you like Zappa, Capt. B.
BTW, I used to play your namesake's music occasionally on the late-shift at WTUL FM in New Orleans. Great town for music.
But, I'm a creature of habit. Give me the most recent "Dead Pod", and I'm a happy camper. It's perfect Alpha (mountaineering) music to my ears! Listening to a live concert from 20-30 years ago while doing the suffering part..... AMAZING!

You mean like "'April Love" or "Tutti Fruti"? One is a sincere Pat Boone and the other is a pathetic cover of Little Richard.

Must experience "Fearless" at high volume, driving through southeast Utah. And "Echoes" is always good for a nice "trip" of course.
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2007 3:31 pmI wrote a song about mountaineering on our new CD. It's called Favorite Day:-)

Once again I have to say Railroad Earth is to me the best way to get in the mood for some wilderness travel.
