Kill Ugly Radio | Frank Zappa & Elsewhere

Arf.

However: the new CC Frank Zappa webring page looks to be an improvement. They’ve brought back Webring Stats, a service that was omitted when Yahoo took over the ring. Nice!

Gotta Love Yahoo. They take over webring.org about a year ago, causing every CCFZ-webring member to have to go through the process of getting a Yahoo ID in order to keep their site listed; and now guess what Yahoo does? It’s getting rid of the webrings, calling it “the webring is migrating”. How’s that for fuzzy newspeak. Yaboooh…

Here’s one, special for colors geeks & internet gourmets (gour-nets?).
nosepilot is an abstract, strange place irrigated with excellent music, and shows the potential of Flash program.
Take your time, it lasts more than ten minutes -the space with the titles is used for loading the next story-. Oh! I forgot, you can choose at the beginning either french or english version.
(PS, yes, I also failed in that baseball one :-)

Interestingly, I scored 4 out of 12 as well. I have to say though, the quiz is terribly prone toward the american way of life, what with such questions as “In baseball, how many outs are there in an inning?” Yeah right! Clueless european raising hand here…

Another stupid test to see just how smart you are: original densa quiz
Ok, I scored 4 out of 12; either I’m slow, or drunk…(who’s laughing there?!)

Looking for The Chrome Dinette, but can’t find it? Here’s the new URL.

Weird: Frank Zappa reading from William Burrough’s The Naked Lunch:
The Talking Asshole brought to you by The Big Note.

Stop the press! Breaking news:
You’ve by now probably all been emailed the cute picture of Osama Bin Laden with Evil Bert in the background, right?
Finally, this mindnumbing enigma has been cleared:
[quote] Azad Products, who manufactures the poster was not aware of the appearance of Bert in one of the collaged images that make up the poster. “We got the images through e-mails and off the internet. We did not give the pictures a second look or realize what they signified until you pointed it to us,” Mostafa Kamal, production manager, told The Associated Press. [/quote]

Why do I feel like this might have been coming straight out of a FZ lyric? Come back Frank, these times desperately need you…

zappa.com back online, same as it ever was… This notice on the “What’s New” page:
RYKODISC RELEASES the “Mystery Disc”
New FZ release.  25 tracks never before on CD!

Phooeee…

zappa.com appears to be offline at the moment. Is this Phaze One of the Much Expected Update?
The pleasantly warped people of The Big Note have once again updated their collection of MP3’s. Newest additions include live tracks from tribute groups such as the Zappatistas, The Muffin Men and Ed Palermo.

That’s about all the poop I have for now… no, wait! Here’s The Scoop On Poop!

New URL for The Zappa Patio: http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85821131/. Not to be taken lightly, I say…
Ye Olde Zappa Patio is however still online, and continues to carry the bulk of the pages.

In further elaboration on the current scatological realm we seem to have entered: Chapter 38: Toilet Training
Because knowing when to shit or pee (make stool or urinate) is important!

Syntactically challenged? If you are not a gifted person like barry’s imaginary publisher, who can speak several languages, you may find some help in this Dictionary of Farting.
Find the specific word for naming your fart! Like, sort of.

Nos amis des Fils de l’Invention viennent de créer une liste de discussion francophone sur l’oeuvre de Frank Zappa: http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/zappa-fdi. Hmmm… I might just join that one…
