Patio

Always interesting to receive mail from Zappa Patio:

Mr. Ugly Radio,
Quick question: might you, or anybody you know, have;
a) A CD copy of “Studio Tan” on Barking Pumpkin, WITHOUT an “Re-1” in the matrix code (the little code on the bottom side of the disc near the hub)?
b) A CD copy of Studio Tan on Zappa Records CD?
c) A CD copy of “Roxy and Elsewhere” on Barking Pumpkin, WITHOUT an “Re-1” in the matrix code?

Inquiring minds…

iPod, You Pod

Well today I could no longer resist the sheer beauty and functionality of the iPod, so I went and bought me one. Not the Shuffle (1Gb, ha!), nor the iPod nano (4Gb, haha!) and certainly not the iPod U2 (U2, hahaha!) — no, just the regular 20Gb white one.
Funny thing is you can have a phrase engraved on the back of it, which of course I couldn’t resist either. Free beer for the person who can guess what I had engraved on it… :)

Brussels Postponed

The Zappa Plays Zappa concert in Vorst Nationaal which was to take place on November 11 has also been “postponed”, according to Go For Music. Someone on the Dutch Zappa-List posted the following (his source unclear to me): “The reason for the delay is that the Zappa family has recently found unknown audio & video which they would like to incorporate in the show. This caused a considerable delay in the pre-production of the tour.”
