I’m a KUR guy
And Gail has just walked by
And she has given me the eye
But I pretend to be shy
Cause I’m a KUR guy
(You know what I mean? You know what I mean?)
So I want you to know why, why, why
You make me cry, cry, cry
‘Cause you wanna try, try, try
Some stupid cease and desist on me
They’re drinking lighter (Berger Kahn Law Corporation)
They’re full of water
I hear them say:
“Let’s sue…”
They’re playing tennis
They’re butts are tighter
What could be whiter?
Hey?
Your athletic approach has a lot of appeal
The girl is responding to your little deal
She’s modern ‘n empty ‘n totally vain
But beauty, of course, can feel no pain
followed by 15 minute instrumental sax solo of Dumb All Over
Yowser!

Shit!
So much for my stand-up…
Guess I’ll just sit down.
Uhm, could I get some flooring to put under me, please?

Hm, friday night…. let’s take a look back: getting up early in the morning, going to a doctor, waiting a bit (then giving blood & piss
), some angry old ladies there…
), there I’ve happily found some internet-connection, though my machine was moved to another room, so I had to reconnect each wire again; meanwhile listenning to an unofficial ZPZ-recording (Budapest) - and suddenly some Dido.
Than home for breakfast, to the university, not-meeting (meating?… no-no!) a girl I wanted to, then a quick dinner alone (a bit late). Than back to my previous workplace where I do not work anymore (and worked a bit
After this I went to the meeting (meating?) of The Hungarian Frank Zappa Association (Frank Zappa Café), eating bean-soup, talking about not-really-official FZ-releases from Kuvait (like a casette of You Are What You Is with a wrong track-order). Meanwhile thinking about the possibilities of sharing audience recordings somewhere in the secret corner of the net. (I’m listenning to Wazoo and Imaginary Diseases a lot, nowadays. Oh yes: the official ones.)
And right now (midnight!!!) I’m gioing to watch a norwegian film on TV (Songs from the Kitchen - (Salmer fra kjokkenet))

*AT LAST!*
Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for -
The one & only Karmapectate is here! :
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=80AsAiP7T8k
The Central Scrutinizer lives!
But now it’s a cute girl … who unfortunately doesn’t get any visuals.
If the first 1&1/2 minutes irks you - assuming you can stick it out that far - you should probably just quit while you’re ahead.
After that, it gets even SNARKIER.
The Karmapectate Zone is for loading & unloading only.
Smile: Karmapectate loves you!
Vote Karmapectate in 2008 - FTW!
Are we having Karmapectate yet?
The Karmapectate shall inherit the Earth.

eggs fly past him like missiles & each one hits the kitchen wall with a series of dull thuds & burst like fourth of July explosions of yolks & whites & shells & his youngest child knocks over the diaper pail & starts to toss shit-smeared diapers down the hallway & in the living room the television is blaring while upstairs his two daughters fight over use of the bathroom in the kitchen the stove buzzer is buzzing & the youngest is pissing on his leg & rushing into the living room where his wife is stretched out on the maroon sofa chewing chocolate covered cashews & working through her third postpartum depression in twelve years watching The Price Is Right & he tells her this house is a fucking madhouse & if he doesn’t get out she won’t be the only one going insane & grabbing his saxophone & car keys & coat he is out the door & closes it just as the last of the dozen eggs comes whizzing toward his third eye

& between the wiper blade & the windshield is another $20 parking ticket which he reaches out & grabs & tosses in the backseat with the rest of his unpaid tickets he cannot pay because he hasn’t worked in months & his Employment Insurance is being cut off & the gas tank reads almost empty so he slips the cassette of Absolutely Free into the tape deck & he pulls out into traffic anyway & the car sounds like a dying dog the way it chokes & coughs & sputters up the avenue while black smoke spews large clouds out of the exhaust pipe & turning the next corner onto a main drag he wonders why he hasn’t considered suicide yet & thinks how easy it would be to just drive off a cliff or something yet worries about not getting killed & winding up an invalid stuck in that loony bin he sometimes refers to as home

after lighting a cigarette the match drops down the front of his shirt & with one hand on the steering wheel & one eye on the road he uses his other hand to pat out the brushfire on his chest but only succeeds in embedding the

sizzling sulfur head deeper into his chest & he slams on the brakes just centimetres from rear ending a shitty little Honda stopped at a red light & when the light finally does turn green his car stalls & turning the ignition key again & again the engine makes a sound like some sick Tibetan chant & it’s obvious not even the Dali Lama will be able to reincarnate this rusting piece-of-shit Ford any time soon & behind him car horns begin to blow & people start to shout & a group of teenagers on the sidewalk are laughing all this in & grinding the ignition one last time he realizes the car’s out of gas & he’s out of patience & puts the car into park & pulling out his keys he steps out & looks at the block-long line of vehicles & all the shaking fists & waving middle fingers & then gives them all the royal salute & closing his eyes he spins around asking for a sign any sign that’ll keep him from going completely bonkers & when he opens his eyes he sees a sign flashing OPEN MIC AT KUR & grabs his saxophone & makes his way towards it.

I just got a good idea for a Zappa-esque song title:
‘Why Do White Folks Like Litigation So Much’ (maybe Ike, Ray or Napi could sing it?)
Can someone write me the lyrics?!

For ” Jim”.
Ever thought about two electric guitar players performing, creating very good music on five electric guitars at once?
Just google to youtube. It’s Fred Frith.
