B.E.E.F.O.U.T. Podcast Episode 6: Bat Chain Puller & Shiny Beast Ranked!

Hello and welcome to the B.E.E.F.O.U.T. Podcast! This week, Al B and DB tackle one of the most fascinating "what ifs" in Captain Beefheart history, ranking every track from both versions of Bat Chain Puller—the legendary "lost" 1976 album, finally released in 2012—and Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller), the reworked album that emerged in 1978. Joining us is friend of the show Max, who's here to right wrongs, spill truths and, quite possibly, make everything even more complicated. How different are the two albums? Which songs improved? Which lost a little magic? And which versions come out on top when the dust settles? In case your internet machine isn't working, here's the tracks we're looking at... Floppy Boot Stomp, Tropical Hot Dog Night, Ice Rose, Harry Irene, You Know You’re a Man, Bat Chain Puller, When I See Mommy, I Feel Like a Mummy, Owed T’Alex, Candle Mambo, Love Lies, Suction Prints, Apes-Ma, Seam Crooked Sam, Brick Bats, Odd Jobs, Hobo-ism, 81 Poop Hatch,  A Carrot is as Close as a Rabbit Gets, Flavor Bud Living, Human totem pole As always, expect strong opinions, deep dives, baffling Beefheart tangents and rankings that will almost certainly upset somebody.
