In what must surely be one of the summer’s more bizarre events, hundreds of people are expected to gather in a hall in central London on August 5 to pleasure themselves in aid of charity.
… and what’s more:
Prizes will be on offer for those who clock up the most orgasms and those who can masturbate the longest – the current record, according to the organisers, is a chafing eight-and-a-half hours.
I believe a Woody Allen quote is in order: “Don’t knock masturbation — it’s sex with someone I love.”
It’s monday morning and at work i’m playing “Freak Outâ€. FZ collection 001. and I intend to make this trend last long enough to get to the end. I’m gonna listen to it all, and time permitting, review them all, create a catalog of the masterworks that I, or you, can refer to.
If you happen to find yourself in the company of foreigners, you should feel free to adopt their accent. If you’re drunk enough, it’ll probably happen without even trying. Much as mimes really dig it when you start mimicking them, your new mates will appreciate your ability to acclimate.
Remember Wolfgang’s Vault? Owner Bill Sagan, a ‘health company executive turned rock entrepreneur’, had bought the rights to Bill Graham‘s “vault” — everything from ticket stubs and backstage passes to psychedelic Jefferson Airplane posters and surplus Duran Duran T-shirts.

Won’t bore you with holiday stories such as how we managed to almost miss every single plane we had to catch. A grand time was had throughout though — Dublin was a blast, the Aran Islands magnificent and Galway a feast to the eye (more on Flickr).

I’m probably a bit late with this, but there’s some Dweezil Zappa video over at guitarplayertv.com where he talks about Frank’s SG, Zappa picking, and more.
Oh and then there’s this article which claims to have spotted the following on YouTube: “a professionally filmed jam session between Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd. Filmed Oct. 25, 1969, on a tour of Belgium, the two rock legends team up for a version of the Floyd classic, ‘Interstellar Overdrive.'” Can you find it? I couldn’t…
Oooh, shiny! Peaches En Regalia, live on SNL (read the guy’s commentary in the about box — heh).
