Lotsa far out freaky flash to keep you going at zefrank. Be sure to check Contest One.

Using Masturbation to End War: “Any real love must start from within. You can’t love others without loving yourself first. And, of course, masturbation is the greatest expression of self-love. So it’s natural that we, the citizens of the world, are joining together to masturbate for peace.”

Here’s a direct link to Bognor Regis, a “mystery leftover track” from the Hot Rats sessions. Says Zappa Patio: “Basically, it’s “Merely a Blues in E”, Zappa and Sugarcane Harris soloing over the tasty accompaniment of Underwood, Guerin and Bennett (the last two are guesses).”
Really cool track! (thanks to BHJ for making it available)

Meet crazy rabbit.

Where were you on 9/11? I was at work doing stuff on the computer, with the radio mumbling in the background. Then I heard a newsflash about a plane having crashed into the WTC. I told my boss about it, he turned on the TV in his office. We were watching CNN for about 10 minutes when the second plane hit. We didn’t get much work done that day.

•Dear heart, dear heart: have you ordered yet one of the wonderful mugs Debrakadabra made? (yes, “our” Debka!) Frank Zappa’s music and ceramic arts happily collided in the mind of the artist. Here’s where to find them.
•Frank Zappa Beard-a-Like: pretty horrible and difficult to navigate but the first one i see with this idea (beards and mustaches Frank’s look-a-like) Wish you guys can improve a little bit your site!
•Favored Nations Entertainment is an independent label founded by Steve Vai featuring guitarists such as Eric Johnson (“our” Eric Johnson..? ooh :-), Larry Carlton, Dweezil Zappa and other inspired artists. A good idea in their site is to provide radio phone numbers to request your fav songs for air play (preferently from FN of course) Bookmark it if you live in the US!

A very funky chunk o’ flash: Take it away Granny!
Thanks SOFA!

Is this funny satire, a very sick joke, and/or another plain disgusting way to make profit off 9/11? The maker of the site claims it to be the first, I tend to think it’s everything but the first…

And now for the one thing we’ve all been waiting for: The Howard Stern Soundboard, carrying soundbytes such as: “pinky strap-on”, “fan of anal sex?”, “sweat pants?” and “fantastic sperm!”

Hat off to Yugoslavia, who won the 2002 Basketball World Cup that happened (believe me!) in Indianapolis from Aug 22 to Sept 8. The second place went to Argentina, an obscure, exotic country that limits with the Antarctica.
For some reason this competition has been ignored by the press in general -wait, wait, someone in San Francisco noticed it…

Julie’s Tacky Treasures contains a wonderful collection of um – tacky stuff, found at yard sales and thrift stores.
