I sifted through it a while back, completely, I think I will spend the night re-reading some of my favorite articles, while blasting some of my favorite songs. I highly reccomend checking out that site, for tabs, complete lyrics/poetry, hundreds of his paintings reproduced in jpeg, articles new and old, etc. Insanely informative and inspiring.

Yeah, it's a good site, but I wish more of his painting pics were clickable to zoom in on.

His art books are tempting to buy, but they are always expensive as shit (obviously) when they show up on Ebay. Oh well, I have a folder with a bunch that I got off Soulseek.

Ive always thought there are four main artists that bind everyone on this messageboard together somehow;

Stooges
Beefheart
Boredoms
The Fall

RIP DVV

He was one of the four most important male artists in my life (others are Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Dr.John). When I heard these sad news, I listened Ice Cream for crow immediately. I will listen the whole production in near future. Such a shame there will be even slight chance to see his live performence anymore though his sickness was that kind that I don´t even know when was his last performance. Hope I see Tom Waits before he dies. Have a good trip to heaven CB!

I have seriously been walking around in a daze. Tragic.

SuperCreep · 12.18.2010, 12:21 PM

i still haven't come to terms with this yet. it's so unreal.

tesla69 · 12.18.2010, 12:32 PM

Very sad but not unexpected, we knew he'd been very ill for the past few years, I believe it was a tragic degenerative disease, he's been gone for some time. Now he's at rest. Now he's in the great rock shop in the sky, making everyone rehearse for 10 hours a day.

THE PAST SURE IS TENSE
THE PASTURE IS TENSE

NO YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG IDEA. NO YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG INTENT! So good.

My top 10 Beefheart tracks would probably be...

1. sheriff of hong kong
2. steal softly thru snow
3. ghost host most holy-o
4. semi multi colored caucasian
5. odd jobs
6. suction prints
7. veteran's day poppy
8. pachuco cadaver
9. safe as milk
10. when it blows it stacks

Though that barely scratches the surface as far as his great contributions to music are concerned. At least we will always have his music.

January 15, 1941 – December 17, 2010

A few weeks shy of his 70th birthday. That's sad.

You wont believe this, but I had a dream about beefheart dying the other night! sad news. Rest in peace Don

John Violence · 12.18.2010, 03:15 PM

I can't even begin to describe how much I loved his music. I was lucky enough to see the Magic Band at ATP 2003 which was the first time I ever heard Beefhearts music. It was a bitter sweet moment because at the time I was a new listener and if I got to see them later I would have appreciated it so much more.

I think what I loved so much about him was that he had a larger than life aura. He would push all of the limits in music then throw out a beautiful moment that anyone could listen to. Harry Irene and Too Much Time were perfect examples. All of the stories of him are legendary. The whole child prodigy sculptor, meeting Zappa, standing up to a guy with a crossbow in his face, just so good! I'm gonna rock some Beefheart all day today. RIP DVV.

great documentary. I posted it on facebook and Steve Shelley 'liked' my post.

even slutbags can appreciate his brilliance!
(it's fake, but it's still hilarious.)

A Thousand Threads · 12.19.2010, 02:13 PM

He was one of my favourite artists and his music really means a lot to me.
It wasn't unexpected but nonetheless, I feel kind of sore.

For those who haven't already seen it,here's Anton Corbjins "Some YoYo Stuff"
