It’s so tough being positive these days Once in a while, an antidote is called for.

Emmylou Harris stopped by for the Nonesuch Selects video series, in which artists visit the Nonesuch office, pick some of their favorite albums from the music library, and share a few words on their choices. She chose recordings by Bulgarian State Television Female Choir, Laurie Anderson, Nonesuch Explorer Series, Ry Cooder, The Low Anthem, and Kate & Anna McGarrigle.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Safe As Milk (Prof. Stoned Deluxe Edition)

Safe As Milk, Captain Beefheart's 1967 debut, remains one of those endlessly fascinating, endlessly classic albums. Endlessly frustrating, too, because it's also one of those LPs where, for a variety of reasons, there's no definitive edition. Stereo, mono, alternative mixes, vinyl, compact discs, etc. Following this Yellow Brick Road can be confusing.

Prof. Stoned to the rescue! His typically tasteful Safe As Milk Deluxe Edition is as wide-ranging and comprehensive as you can get, giving us a proper overview of the Captain and his OG Magic Band in their early stages, from cleaned up demos to scrappy rehearsals to killer live tapes to sparkling transfers of both the mono and stereo mixes of the album. You're going to want to download this one, even if you're intimately familiar with Milk. Thank you as always, Professor!

The Captain Says: Music is the most important medium of all of the art forms because for the kids it is the easiest to understand — it gets through to them. You can write a poem, and use the word "yellow." OK. But if you put music to it, you add another depth to the word yellow, and this conjures up pictures in the mind — and that's where it's all at, in the mind. 

(Oh and hey, from a few years later but recently surfaced — some unreal footage of "Abba Zaba" live in Paris in 1972!)
