Zappa Bootleg Listening Sessions: “During the week, a bootleg will be posted to alt.binaries.zappafiles clearly labelled as the Sunday Listening Session files. Everyone who wants to participate downloads the files, and stashes them on their hard drives until Sunday.
On Sunday, all participants connect to the #zappateers group on Dalnet IRC, and at 20:00hrs UK time (GMT or British Summer Time – it’s still 8pm) we all start playing the MP3s on our own systems.”

Whistle a tune at your computer and have it tell you what the title plus composer for that given tune is. I whistled The Black Page at it (an interesting endeavour, facial muscle-wise), which it obviously didn’t compute. Maybe my whistling skills need improvement…

Everybody in this room is wearing a label. Is this one yours? (suggestion: check out “The Jones Zone”, a place “filled with nostalgic and forgotten memories” specific to jonesers out there ;-)

Please turn down the orchestra: “Classical musicians have abnormally high levels of premature hearing loss; the statistics show that it is a bigger problem for orchestral players than rock musicians. Whereas heavy metal bands stand behind the speakers that launch auditory assaults on their audiences, woodwind players are directly in the firing line.”

Whenever I sneeze.
