The Man in Black

January 20th, 2003 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Some people get better as they get older, some get truly brilliant as they get older. Exhibit A: Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around. Listen to Cash’s interpretation of N.I.N.’s Hurt, and proove me wrong.

Could not connect to blablabla

January 20th, 2003 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

A sincere thank you goes out to dreamhost for having made this page unavailable all yesterday, and for screwing up the forums today. Stay tuned as tomorrow, maybe the guestbook gets eaten! Or maybe the comments will give you an Internal Server Error! Never a dull moment at killuglyradio.
With a little patience things should get back to normal, bear with me…

“Soon the porn was popping up on the screen, each pose meeting the critical eye of Guphy, Mike, Brooke and Jane. Page after page began rolling into the tray, and we started taping them to the wall.” Some of you may be interested in just how much porn you can print with one inkjet cartridge.

New Audio Delight at TBN!

January 18th, 2003 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

It took a while to update the Musibrarium this month (nonono, my wrist has nothing to do with it!) but TheBigNote.com’s SOFA has really done it this time! Baldheaded John’s Vault now features tunes from two late 60ies concerts (LUC Appleton ‘69, FC Los Angeles ‘68). In Member Contributions you’ll find an FZ medley, performed by TBN’s Big Swifty, and carefully doctored by SOFA. At the Musibrarium, you’ll also find a mini-concert from that lovable, former sideman Mike Keneally (Stunt Guitar for the ‘88 band). Enjoy!

Thing Fish

January 15th, 2003 • Dr Sharleena

The Navy routinely tests a weapon by firing radioactive, toxic ammunition in prime fishing areas off the coast of Washington, raising concerns from scientists, fishermen and activists.

are we testing for? We already know the shit blows up.” - Frank Zappa

Danish Blue

“Kissing differences vary by geography as well as gender. German and Hungarian ladies prefer being nibbled on the ear, Finnish females love being bussed on their bellies and Danish women get turned on when their feet are smooched.”

By popular request and since the zappa.com FAQ is rather unclear about it: the upcoming release (fall ‘03) of “Trance-Fusion” is a collection of unreleased Zappa guitar solo’s, apparently not focusing on any particular era. An “advanced copy” leaked as early as 1993, revealing the following track-list:

  1. Chunga’s Revenge
  2. Bowling On Charon
  3. Good Lobna
  4. A Cold Dark Matter
  5. Butter Or Canons
  6. Ask Dr. Stupid
  7. Scratch & Sniff
  8. Trance-Fusion
  9. Gorgo
  10. Diplodocus
  11. Soul Polka
  12. For Giuseppe Franco
  13. After Dinner Smoker
  14. Light Is All That Matters

Very cool links

January 13th, 2003 • Dr Sharleena

…to read al fresco, found in the The Zappa Patio: a transcription of Blood on the Canvas (Bossk is posting it with permission), a sort of radio play Zappa made with performer Eric Bogossian in 1986. Also: The Complete Mark Pinske Interview plus a general outlook on Zappa works (ok, haven’t read these yet, but you know…is summer here, i’m getting very lazy :-)
Bonus link: The Institute for Parallel Studies: don’t ask me what is this about, just check the Misterious Imagery Gallery for your daily dose of preternatural bizarreness…

Happy Imbeciles At War

January 12th, 2003 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Oh yes it is: This is not a war. Iraq will not be a war. Do we understand this? We do not seem to understand this. This is heavily corporatized power brokers killing each other for oil and capital. Oh yes it is.
