Mrowster drunk on Zappa. On Saturday 4 October 2008, the founders of two world-class blogs - Pig State Recon and Impy Malting- met up to exchange thoughts, question assumptions, and simply bask in the formidable glow of Frank Zappa, his well-respected We’re Only In It For the Money LP from 1968, and a limited-edition, Belgian style triple ale (8.2% ABV) brewed by the Laginuta Brewing Co. to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album’s release. And bask we did - after dropping the needle on the
The case of Frank Zappa is a strange one indeed. Part rock and roll guitar hero, part pointy-headed atonal composer, part potty-mouthed class clown, he straddled the line between high and low art like no other figure in modern music. Perhaps because of the severe technical demands on the people who try to play it, performances of his music today are fairly rare. Apart from a handful of groups containing Zappa band alumni (The Grandmothers, Project/Object, and son Dweezil’s Zappa Plays Zappa),
Posted by Jim Gardner on October 6, 2008 If you like music made by musicians, as opposed to lip syncing beautiful people and pitch corrected “bands”, there’s a good chance Mister FZ is already high on your list of all-time faves. But just to be on the safe side, here’s a handful of the classics. My best advice to the uninitiated, however, is to find a quality record store and buy anything you can find by the 20th century’s finest American composer, the guitarists guitarist, Sir Frank Vincent

Instrumental music can be a hard sell in an environment where the big hits have mushy, sub-literate choruses about false love and devotion or money or whatever of the three or four rotating obsessions du jour is in the public consciousness that week. And often enough, those instrumental records are no better with their “look what I can do” wankery. Bryan Beller’s Thanks In Advance falls into a decidedly “other” category, as well-written as it is well-played, with a range of moods from playful t

I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.” Frank Zappa Well, Frank Zappa was right. What he did not mention was that stupidity is also the lightest element in the universe – meaning that in any situation, in any setting, stupidity r
(This is a response to Marleen S. Barr's Grizzly Gidget Goes to the Whitehouse at Partial Observer) Marleen, I agree Palin's religious views/associations are threatening to open-minded progressives, that she "could" be worse than Bush (as difficult as that may be to imagine), and that she most likely wouldn't mind instituting a theocracy that would resemble The Handmaid's Tale. However, I must object to some of your equally outlandish questions in your commentary: "Has the United States bec

Also of importance during this retrograde is that Mercury disposits the Saturn and so directly influences our Capricorn and Aquarius houses and planets. Of especial note is that at the Inferior Conjunction it is square Jupiter, giving us new perspectives on our place of greatest service to our world, challenging us to keep the momentum in our own hands and practice some refined for
At least people, including about children, were reported killed. And rock musician Dweezil Zappa, son of Frank Zappa, in age. It was the first of several all of which were met by protests worldwide.

Hooray! Finally. This is the only version of My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama with Maestro Zappa playing the solos (as opposed to Dweezil, Vai, Satriani, or Johnson) that I've ever found on YouTube.

The musician Lisa Loeb is famous for eclectic reasons: her pretty, angst-ridden 1994 hit single "Stay (I Missed You)" from the soundtrack of the movie "Reality Bites," her signature cat-eye glasses; her guest appearance on "Gossip Girl"; and her romance with Dweezil Zappa, with whom she briefly hosted a show on the Food Network.
The Morse Theatre was built right off (what was later named) the Red Line—on Morse Avenue, of course—in 1912 as a vaudeville and nickelodeon house. Since it’s construction, the building been used as a storage facility, a movie theater and a Jewish temple until finally going dark and empty in the early ’70s. Since then the structure has sat un-used…until now! The newly refurbished and rehabbed Morse was originally scheduled to open for the World Music Festival. However, a slight attack of arson
by Robert Wilkinson September is the end of Summer, a time when the Solar force is waning. This month sorts and adjusts what of our Summer labors are useful and working as they should, and the distributive Earth energies of Virgo help us do practical tasking preparing us for Autumn’s arrival on September 22, 2008, at 8:45 am PDT (September 23 in East Asia and Australia).
