During his 18-year career as a musician, Don Van Vliet, better known by the moniker of Captain Beefheart, never experienced major levels of commercial success. Despite the cult following that he commanded, and an eventual long and storied legacy of innovation and influence upon future art and progressive rock acts, he and his famed Magic Band backing group were always struggling to get by financially. Their records were critical marvels, but were slim on sales.As the 70s progressed, Beefheart made multiple attempts to allay this lack of commercial success by gradually tempering his signature sound back. This meant less abrasive, frenzied, and surreal arrangements and lyrics, and more relaxed tempos, standard rhythms and simple love songs. These attempts would not bring Beefheart the mainstream clout he desired, but would turn off his cult following, and alienate the Magic Band themselves.In 1974, a particular nadir was reached with the release of the record Unconditionally Guaranteed, which traded the experimentation of beloved albums like Trout Mask Replica and Safe As Milk for generic, un-challenging, over-simplified 70s blues rock. Critics shunned it, fans detested it, and the Magic Band would quit shortly after the album's release in a huff. Even Beefheart himself would disavow the record, encouraging fans to get a refund if they bought it.Will we feel the same way? That's what we aim to find out on a new Jukebox Zeroes, in which Lilz and Patrick welcome return guest Tim Howd of The Only Humans. Join them as they go track-by-track, trying to find the signature weirdness and scrappy charm missing from Unconditionally Guaranteed.Local Music Feature: Fiddlehead - Heart to Heart

069 - Captain Beefheart - Unconditionally Guaranteed (1974) (with Tim Howd)

Jesus Christ Superstar was a 1973 film adaptation of the rock opera of the same name. The original was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, while the movie version was directed by Norman Jewison, who had previously found movie musical success adapting the stage show Fiddler On The Roof to film. The cast was primarily made up of actors from the original stage show, who had never acted for film before. And though the film was a commercial success, it attracted controversy among religious groups, and disinterested reaction from reviewers, who criticized the film's monotony, miscasting, and strange directing decisions.On this episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott are joined by The Only Humans frontman and Jesus Christ Superstar fan Tim Howd, to attempt to make some sense out of what they just watched. Join them on a journey filled with silly voiced priests, Ted Neely murder pacts, and once again run afoul of the wily and elusive Rootbeerm'n....with Lilz and Scott!

013 - Jesus Christ Superstar ("The Last Little Rascal") (w/ Tim Howd)

In the late 1970s, after a long dearth of commercial success in the US, Leonard Cohen hooked up with pop legend and current convict Phil Spector, expecting great things from the famously reclusive and eccentric producer. What Leonard didn't expect was to be completely shut out of the production, mixing, and arranging of the ensuing record as soon as a rough vocal track was recorded, amidst a haze of alcohol, drugs, an overabundance of guns, and Spector's own obsessively dictatorial production style.1977's Death Of A Ladies Man was the result of this increasingly one-sided collaboration, and was denounced by Cohen fans and critics as well as Leonard Cohen himself, as overproduced, overindulgent, and overall a mess. But let's let the goodboix Lilz and Patrick decide for themselves on this episode of Jukebox Zeroes, featuring special guest and avowed Cohen fan Tim Howd of folk-rock outfit The Only Humans!Local Music Feature: "Accident Report" by The Only Humans
