Any Downers?

July 14th, 2004 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Read up on the Forbidden Library and be confronted with list after list of banned or challenged books. For me, this one really topped it all: the book “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl” was called for rejection in 1983 by the Alabama State Textbook Committee “because it is a real downer”.

120 years of electronic musical instruments. First mention of the Synclavier as early as 1975. Prize for silliest name of an electronic instrument: the Composer-Tron. (”It sounds really good, but I’d add some Composer-Tron into the mix.”)

Zappa Of The Month Club

July 12th, 2004 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

LA Times: “Not Just In It For the Money” (subscr. req.). A notable quote: “The details are still being worked out, but Gail Zappa, Frank’s widow, says that the concept is pretty simple. Fans will pay an annual fee (probably around $100) and receive a set number of new releases each year (probably five), some of which will not be available elsewhere. Subscribers will have some level of choice as to what titles they receive from an ever-expanding catalog, and will also likely get bonus material and other special merchandise.”

The World’s Biggest Bootlegger

July 10th, 2004 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

“We simply cannot overestimate the scale of his operation. He probably lived a far better lifestyle than some of those he ripped off. In the international bootlegging fraternity he is a legend, a mini-god.”
