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.

“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.

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!

My No War appeal is getting some discusson at zappa.com’s forums. Yeah so I started the thread, but hey… any discussion, be it pro or contra, is better than no discussion at all.

“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.”

…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 :-)

You know I think the world can be understood by means of merely three Woody Allen movies: Bananas, Everything you always wanted to know about sex, and Annie Hall. Yes: I had a favo video marathon going last night. Sue me.

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.
