Kill Ugly Radio: Frank Zappa & Elsewhere

Posted in Heh Heh, Music, YouTubery | 10 Comments »

It’s been a bit of a busy week for me, fellow fen! However, here’s some stuff that didn’t pass by my radar unnoticed:

• In Japan, this and that hits the streets. Says Thomas Marrot: “the plot happens in Frank Zappa Street where human and animal characters live together in a “funky & pop” city.”
• A Zappa Music Map
• Soundpainting: “the live composing sign language created by New York composer Walter Thompson for musicians, dancers, actors, poets, and visual artists working in the medium of structured improvisation.”
  A bunch of clips, again via Thomas:
  • one, two, three, four
  • More on Soundpainting…
• Some books we ordered from Amazon.co.uk finally arrived!
  • American Gods — Neil Gaiman
  • The Bin Ladens — Steve Coll
  • Born Standing Up — Steve Martin
• Armed America — portraits of gun owners in their homes.
• Painting elephant — this is nothing short of mesmerizing.

.. and then there’s this:

…have a great weekend!…
