QUITE POSSIBLY THE HEAVIEST BLUES TRACK OF 1967 -- PURE, STRAIGHT-OUT-THE-SWAMP HEAVY BLUES.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the ultra rare Buddah "Plastic Factory" (b/w "Where There's Woman") single by CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & HIS MAGIC BAND, taken from the recently unearthed mono masters to the Captain's 1967 debut LP "Safe as Milk," released on Sundazed Music as part of Record Store Day Black Friday in 2012.

But, yeah, this track boasts just the murkiest, dirtiest, most menacing blues sound you've ever heard, and with the bass guitar being totally up front in the mix as well, hence the track's power, ferocity, and overall depth.

This ain't the Summer of Love at all, people, and it's just a really super-HEAVY and scary-sounding, no frills, blues cut. The Captain's harp is absolutely masterful as well, and it remains my all-time favorite track on his "Safe As Milk" (1967) debut LP until my inevitable doom. Check that shit out if ya haven't already!

I was joking in that music post about how I’m not really a massive 90s grunge wreck and this... isn’t exactly helping my case BUT.  Not only is Dinosaur Jr’s Freak Scene still one of my absolute top ten songs of all time (both musically and sentimentally) but I really ought to share the final lyrics because I swear to god this is like the background tuning note for every single one of my OTPs:

Sometimes I don’t thrill you

Sometimes I think I’ll kill you

Just don’t let me fuck up, will you

‘Cause when I need a friend it’s still you
