Zappanale TV
Did you already hear about it? This Zappanale TV shows some video recordings – another band each month. For now: Bogus Pomp. Sounding good – again. (Although the drums are a bit too noisy, but anyway, it’s not a CD…).

Zapped Again? Ja! – Weil ich denke, es wird Zeit für eine umfassende deutschsprachige Site über das Leben und Schaffen von Frank Zappa. In the German language, which is the way he talks whenever it’s Heavy Business.

Todo Bien
Buenos dias! I’m typing this from a hideously configurated PC somewhere in hot-n-humid Buenos Aires, having had some 4 hours of sleep since Wednesday, so I’ll keep it brief — forgive me for añy typos that may occur. As promised … Continue reading

Stuttgart ’88 (2)
Then comes The Big One. First of all, I must say that I’ve found listening to every version of “Stairway To Heaven” to be the most tedious part of this whole reviewing task. There’s simply nothing very interesting about most … Continue reading
