Zappa Patio Back

Zappa Patio is back – provisionally. Quote: “We’re working on getting the site functional at the moment. If you know of a stable place we can host the Zappa Patio, or if you can offer your expertise re. web design as we struggle to match Bossk’s brilliance, drop us a line”. Hmmm, whaddayathink?…

An evening with the music of FZ

It was on 21st of october – a show was held beginning with the tv-show We Don’t Mess Around from ’78, and then Cosmik Debris played. So here you’ll find some words about the night, some pictures, and – on the bottom – some small videos (uhhh, unfortunately without sound… ehh…). Later there might be some mp3s, too. Hopefully.

FZ discography

What a nice piece of discography I found. Did you know this one? Shows tons of releases (including many bootlegs) with a few words to each of them – and (YES!) this is what I like. You will find a few words on the Joe’s series and the freshly published QuAUDIOPHILIAc, too.

Time To Cheer Up

I do solemnly swear to not mention GWB in the next 24 hours. Instead let’s have some music because, you know, music is THE BEST!

If you’re not a professional actor…

…then you still might want to get a job. This guy is ready for “photo-sessions, modelling, appearance in tv-shows, ads, promo works, erotic movies (!!!), erotic shows”. Take a look at his pictures. Hm?…

No Waiting For Ohio To Dissolve

What if Bush wins? Read the predictions of 16 writers. Meanwhile, I still feel the Electoral College system is an awkward remnant of the olden days. See for instance here: “Another factor was that Southern states favoured the College system. Slaves had no votes but counted as three-fifths of a person for computing the size of a state’s population.” Whaa?

Over The Valley

Have a listen to this 1.05Mb Zappa-collage, submitted to me by a TBN‘er. I found it amazing, a little creepy on the side, and rather fitting on this day

Tip Of The Day

How to be an idiot, part one: when downloading a torrent from easytree, leave your computer on all night and wake up the next morning to an email of your provider saying you have no more bandwidth left.

Florida Vaudeville

Within four days of the US elections, some 58.000 posting ballots have gone missing in the Florida county that gave Gore his biggest margin in 2000. Baffling.
