Not that anybody would

Not that anybody would give a proverbial shit, but anyway, I finally found a nifty tuff ‘n bitchin way to process the image galleries. I just spent 3 hours figuring out a script which automates the building of the thumbnail-pages, and the links of each thumbnail to the big pictures. The first gallery is back up: Zappa Concert Posters. Sweet!
On a down note: someone asked for the previous poll’s results to be posted here. Well, I have news on that. This poll was hosted by bravenet.com. And bravenet.com has been hacked recently. Ergo: I can’t get to my own fucking poll results anymore… If, and when I can, I’ll post those results here…

I’ve always wondered what

I’ve always wondered what the majority of Zappa-fans thought, was the decade in which Zappa was at his artistic best. For me, it’s the Seventies; with albums like Roxy and OSFA, ZINY and Läther. For you, it might be the early days, or the synclavier-stuff… If you want to have your say, I’ve just set up a little poll right here, asking you which Zappa-decade you prefer. You’re excluded for a period of one hour after you’ve casted a vote. This poll will be taking votes for – oh, probably a year or so. We should be getting some interesting statistics… Don’t forget to vote!
