Andy Partridge on Captain Beefheart’s Strictly Personal!

What are some of your favorite songs on Strictly Personal? 

Andy Partridge: 

'“Ah Feel Like Ahcid”—it’s not a concept album, but it’s like an improvisation around [Son House’s] “Death Letter Blues,” and he’s mixing in all this stuff about acid on stamps. “Beatle Bones ’n’ Smokin’ Stones” I like a lot because it’s filmic. But I really love “Trust Us,” which is like a sort of Chinese blues. There’s a lot of those Oriental things [demonstrates harmonies on guitar]—a lot of those intervals. I can’t hear too much Beefheart. It’s like a really strong alcoholic drink. I can’t have too much of it, and I love it dearly.'
