Curt K Mini House Set Part 1 live at Sun Lair Studio

Another work in progress from some of our last home recordings at the end of last year. This song came to me in a dream, David Bowie was like a lounge singer/waiter or something in a restaurant I was eating in, and was just singing "Hoola Deranged" to that melody. It was perplexing. He then spilled water on me.

Clinton Degan: vocals, guitar; Frank Hegyi: drums, SPD11, percussion; Maxwell Butler: piano, organ, theremin; Curtis Killian: guitar, vocals; Abram Taber: bass;

Recorded at home with initial engineering by Luke Sullivan.

Lyrics by Curtis, Degan and Frank:

hoola deranged

queen of the strange
a fish in the drain
yeah she's all of these things

you've got nothing in your brain
just mechanical pain
an expensive display

yeah you might be insane
or partly unchained
i think god made you that way

come on on
come on on
come on
 
hoola deranged

perpendicular plane 
beezelbub's play
in a backgammon game

yokahoma by train
see the hoofchamber maid
in her bilbo beret

little peach giant james
peanut butter in flames
with a side of raisins

come on on
kimono
kimodo
comode

hoola deranged

vernacular saint
elbow scratchy with grain
and a new coat of paint

the ol' in out of phase
put you back in your plaze
in a cortizone daze

forget what i say
just be on your way
with the hoola deranged

God Will Never Let You Down

I wrote "Insomniac" on Friday, February 3 at 12:22a.m., fittingly. This photo is a video still of me writing the song by the light of the computer (I tend to record demos in Photobooth). 

In what is quite possibly the fastest turnaround of a song yet, Frank Hegyi and I recorded it that same Friday night in my freezing garage (this is take three ... the mouth noises and rubbing hands are really us trying to stay warm in a 38 degree room).

Did overdubs Friday night after warming up a bit, then mixed over the weekend, just finishing by 3a.m. Monday morning (what superbowl?!). This song is clearly autobiographical.

Frank Hegyi is on drums, percussion and mouth noises.

Curtis is on mouth noises and everything else.

Insomniac

tragic thinking
i'm not complete
always looking
for something to distract me 
my heart is patient
yearning for closeness
just like the sun craves
always to feel warm

just like the way i want you
can i just want myself

you're a mirror
now i see clearer
feelings i fear here
only draw nearer
lean in open
see what my heart hides
maybe this divine
in you i find
distracts me from finding it inside

just like the way i want you
can i just want myself

ft. Anjimile

just like the way i think of you as lovely in my mind
just like the way i think i think about you all the time
easy for me to see you're divine
but what about mine?

all activity and no action
all passivity and no passion
i can hide in distraction
i confuse love with attachment
i can lose my ground in a minute
or dig my roots in the soil within it
and take my place in love's reflection
me, the image and
god, the caption

just like the way i want you
now i just want myself

now i just now i just
now i just now i just
now i just now i just
want myself

Want Myself (ft. Anjimile)

Bongo Fury press conference, Crouse College of Music auditorium, Syracuse University 4/23/75

My late friend Jamie Cohen (a&r maven for EMI, Columbia Records, and Private Music) was a student at Syracuse University back in 1975 when he asked Don Van Vliet this question at a press conference I also attended the morning after Frank Zappa and the Mothers--with special guest Captain Beefheart --performed at the Syracuse War Memorial
