He was the drummer and musical director of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band.

Burns my autumn All too soon they Fade and die And then I There were no others Milk and honey

That was Mick Harvey and Amanda Acevedo with Milk and Honey.

That's been languishing in my to-play list since it came out.

And the catalyst for it finally coming through was Dol Icaro, who I found out about by just watching Peaky Blinders and heard her track in there and then I've been waiting for a very long time for a new track and this is it.

So what a thrill it was for me to interview really David Gedge from the wedding present too, but for the cover story, but also especially the Ivor Hay and Ed Cooper interview I did for the saints who have been touring the world as the saints, 1973 to 1978, to make sure, you know, it was the original band.

One of the most incredible bands that ever walked the planet and still are with Mark Arm doing the late Chris Bailey's vocals and Mick Harvey on guitar and keyboards.

I mean, wow, it's a really fabulous lineup.

Just fantastic.
