Tired of that guy next to you on the airplane who smells bad and takes up all the armspace? Here’s some sound advice for you:
Open your bag quietly. Take out your laptop. Start it. Make sure your annoying neighbor has a clear view on the screen of your laptop. Close your eyes, lift your head up to the heavens, take a very dramatic deep breath and click on this link.
Heh-heh. (via Pietel)
The John Coltrane classic, as played by… a robot:
Oh, and they conduct orchestra’s as well, apparently. Crazy.
Alex Machacek of the Out Trio:
Terry Bozzio joined Korn: yes, the rumors are true… therefore the gig at the Zappanale 2007 is cancelled. Chad Wackerman will play instead of the Out Trio. The proposed European tour 2007 is also cancelled. The new Out Trio CD (which was recorded/jammed) last year is still waiting for some heavy editing is on hold now.
Introducing someone as a ‘friend’ communicates more commitment to the Hungarian than what you probably mean using this word, especially if you come from the American culture. It takes time for someone to call you his friend in Hungary, and if it happens, you are one of the few chosen ones. Americans tend to have a low wall on the outside, and a higher one on the inside. Hungarians have a higher wall on the outside, but once you are in, you are in.
For more, spend some time perusing this indispensible guide to the Inner Hungarian. :)
On to the third Voice of Cheese! This one comes to us from John “Squid Decor” Russell. He says:
This is an instrumental which started on the bass. The bass has a perpetual repeat going. So In the spirit of Adrian Belew, I sort of build on this foundation.. adding notes to it. I layer a tasteful guitar melody over the top. It has a pedestrian beat to it. Very easy going… and reminds me of Fleetwood Mac’s Albatros song.

I have a sneaking suspicion the guy who posted this on YouTube (wesbroadway) reads KUR. If so: full circle!
What have they been adding to Cleveland’s water lately? First there was the R ‘n R’s Hall of Fame Museum week-long celebration of Frank Zappa. Now there’s this performance by Red {an orchestra} with music from Varèse, Stravinsky, Webern — and Zappa.
Get ready for the second coming of the Frank Zappa Choir : The Mothers of Appropriation, coming at you at this year’s NSCAD Wearable Art Show!
For reasons that shall remain unbeknownst to you dear reader, I shall be offline for most of next Friday. Hence this Praecox Friday Boot: Detroit Michigan, 17 May 1969. Oh, and Gilles wants me to tell you:

The Fireworks Ensemble performing G-Spot Tornado at the Miller Theater‘s Zappa concert (2/2/07):
Welcome to VOC’s second installment — brought to you by SOFA and his No Rehearsal Band! The track SOFA decided to send in is a rendition of “Down In The Boondocks”. This one couldn’t be farther away musically from our first guest appearance — yet the Conceptual Continuity remains obvious – if only for the delightful doo-wop slash barbershop influences. SOFA says:
This song by Joe South has always been a favorite of mine. I remember the version by Billy Joe Royale as a kid. Then Ry Cooder redid it for an album in the early 80’s; my brother and I included it in our duo act at the time. When we whipped it out one night at an early NRB gig [Jan 27, ’07 – ed.], it just fell into place, right down to the acapella ending. It’s still one of our best numbers, and often our opening song for an evening.

What’s a guy to do when he doesn’t find anything interesting to post? Why, steal links from friends, silly!
On 6th October 1968, Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention played a 35 Minute live performance for German TV broadcast. Most Material contained Instrumental Versions from “Freak Out”, “We’re Only in It For the Money”, and of course “Uncle Meat”.
