  1. Interesting? yes.
    Desirable (if you indeed have the system on which to play it? Yes.
    The Holy Grail of Zappa Collecting. Not effing hardly.
    SOFA

  2. And what’s this about ‘aggressively seeking a Grammy nomination for this release’? I doubt if FZ would have sanctioned that kind of activity.

  3. Dweez: Hey, Mom! We won!
    Gail: Yes, dear, we won. I’ve been watching the Ahnold and Laura Show. What the fuck are YOU smoking?
    Dweez: No, no. It’s true! We won! Just ask Joe.
    Gail: Joe? Joe who?
    Joe: tonight was the 3rd annual Surround Music Awards in Los Angeles. Last yer (Dec.) FZ was awarded the Surround Pioneer Award. This year BABY SNAKES was nominated for Best Menu Design………….& it won
    Napi: What is that?
    I know what that is, I know what that is . . .
    I bet you that’s a restaurant menu . . .
    Gail: Hey, who let him in here?
    Dweez: That’s just Joe fucking around with those Roxy tapes again.
    Gail: Joe? What’s HE doing here? I thought he jumped ship for the Super Freak job.
    Dweez: I guess he’s back. They were expecting too much from him at the Super Freak Vault. He couldn’t take the pressure. He also said something about better guacamole here.
    Gail: I knew he’d be back. This is the only place in town where he can get away with hanging out in a basement all day pretending to work.
    Dweez: Yeah, whatever. Mom, aren’t you excited? We won!
    Gail: Menu design. What a fucking honor. I guess all the time you spent hanging around restaurants and whoreing yourself out to the Food Channel has finally had it’s pay-off. Pass the chips…

  4. I recently wrote an email to Joe Travers. I recently wrote an email to Joe Travers. His reply is cryptic and contains many hidden clues:

    Hey Joe, whadya know?
    Great to see you join the forum. Almost as exciting as seeing Ah-Nold live on network TV.
    One question. When will Roxy be released?
    Yours, Bob.

    I really don’t know
    Joe

  5. “…Some people are wise and some people are otherwise. My father, Frank Zappa, was certainly both. He was a composer who arranged tones textures and rhythms in a way that was certainly unique as we all know, but he was also uniquely inspired by sound itself. This audio protein wafer that you are now clutching contains scientific proof that nuggets do exist…To make a long story short, this disc is an audio documentary of Frank Zappa’s multichannel recordings and mixes from 1970 to 1978. I did not sequence it chronologically. Instead, I chose to create an interludicrous journey that we could all experience together. There are a few modern elements that I have added to make tidy segues like the one where I superimposed an old quote of Frank discussing the record business over a never heard until now alternate arrangement of ‘Easter Hay.’ But otherwise, what you hear is what Frank was thinking about more than 30 years ago. It’s clear he was way ahead of the curve.” – Dweezil, from the album’s liner notes
