"Rockist"? Interesting term, because it implies that a preference for rock music is equal to a system of belief or ideas or some such thing. Doesn't make me want to get into rap in case people start thinking I'm a rap-ist.

Very annoyed that I can't find a copy of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx anywhere, actually - thinking of picking up Liquid Swords or Wu-Tang Forever. Maybe even Paul's Boutique or Ill Communication - hell, maybe branch to someone completely different e.g. pick up The College Dropout or something. Decisions, decisions.

Cuban Linx II is just as good. Download Ill Communication and Wu-Tang Forever, unless you can find them cheap. Kanye West gets annoying after a while.

And then something goes off in my brain, and sends an impulse to my jaw, and BAM, a thousand pounds of pressure locked in like a press. I mean, a head your size would burst like an infected kidney, and all I'd remember was how warm the juices were that lapped the back of my uvula on their trip down to stomach-land. But we're friends, right? We know each other. We know what we do, and who we talk to, and what we say to them. Now let's talk about the letter that Liquor got.

Congratulations! This is now the most unappealing album to have been posted in this thread.

Invalid argument. There are a whole bunch of guitarists I listen to (Nels Cline, Duane Denison, John McLaughlin, Frank Zappa, Marc Ribot, Robert Quine, Tom Verlaine, Neil Young) that play their instrument extremely well. I don't hate them for it! I hate musicians like Yngwie Malmsteen because they treat music as a means of showcasing their own virtuosity rather than creating something vibrant or interesting. Skill minus art can go fuck itself.

10 COMMANDMENTS OF GUITAR PLAYING
by Captain Beefheart

1. Listen to the birds.

That's where all the music comes from. Birds know everything about how it should sound and where that sound should come from. And watch hummingbirds. They fly really fast, but a lot of times they aren't going anywhere.

2. Your guitar is not really a guitar. Your guitar is a divining rod.

Use it to find spirits in the other world and bring them over. A guitar is also a fishing rod. If you're good, you'll land a big one.

3. Practice in front of a bush

Wait until the moon is out, then go outside, eat a multi-grained bread and play your guitar to a bush. If the bush doesn't shake, eat another piece of bread.

4. Walk with the devil

Old Delta blues players referred to guitar amplifiers as the "devil box." And they were right. You have to be an equal opportunity employer in terms of who you're bringing over from the other side. Electricity attracts devils and demons. Other instruments attract other spirits. An acoustic guitar attracts Casper. A mandolin attracts Wendy. But an electric guitar attracts Beelzebub.

5. If you're guilty of thinking, you're out

If your brain is part of the process, you're missing it. You should play like a drowning man, struggling to reach shore. If you can trap that feeling, then you have something that is fur bearing.

6. Never point your guitar at anyone

Your instrument has more clout than lightning. Just hit a big chord then run outside to hear it. But make sure you are not standing in an open field.

7. Always carry a church key

That's your key-man clause. Like One String Sam. He's one. He was a Detroit street musician who played in the fifties on a homemade instrument. His song "I Need a Hundered Dollars" is warm pie. Another key to the church is Hubert Sumlin, Howlin' Wolf's guitar player. He just stands there like the Statue of Liberty-making you want to look up her dress the whole time to see how he's doing it.

8. Don't wipe the sweat off your instrument

You need that stink on there. Then you have to get that stink onto your music.

9. Keep your guitar in a dark place

When you're not playin your guitar, cover it and keep it in a dark place. If you don't play your guitar for more than a day, be sure you put a saucer of water in with it.

10. You gotta have a hood for your engine

Keep that hat on. A hat is a pressure cooker. If you have a roof on your house, the hot air can't escape. Even a lima bean has to have a piece of wet paper around it to make it grow.

And then something goes off in my brain, and sends an impulse to my jaw, and BAM, a thousand pounds of pressure locked in like a press. I mean, a head your size would burst like an infected kidney, and all I'd remember was how warm the juices were that lapped the back of my uvula on their trip down to stomach-land. But we're friends, right? We know each other. We know what we do, and who we talk to, and what we say to them. Now let's talk about the letter that Liquor got.

I wonder if this album would've been better if they'd lost the Barrett-style numbers and made an entire album based on lengthy jam sessions with spacey lyrics like Set The Controls, although it all kind of meshes in a way. Eh, guess there's always the first disc of Ummagumma.

Also, regarding B's earlier guitarist-related comments in this thread, I have to wonder what he makes of Eddie Van Halen. I think I can guess, though.
