Brother Strange Loop and Brother Doowad were inspired to put this mix together after seeing The Glitter and Doom Tour stop here in St. Louis last summer. This was an educational exercise for both of us really, to examine the Zappa-Beefheart library and look at the artists who have influenced both of them as well as the artists whom they themselves have influenced. The methodology was classic alt-dj, ping-ponging back and forth, with first a Zappa, then a Beefheart and then a wildcard of our own choosing, so that we would have equal chances at both of the main artists along with input on the wildcards.
Mini-themes eventually developed, from heroin to Jesus to (literal) assholes and others that we don’t even realize. It may not be definitive, but it certainly was an enlightening experience putting this together over the last couple months.
We would also like apologize for the austere artwork, but Brother Strange Loop is soon to be a father and had barely enough time to pong to my ping, let alone put his graphic design skills to work.
