Patio

Posted on Thursday, 09/08/05 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Always interesting to receive mail from Zappa Patio:

Mr. Ugly Radio,
Quick question: might you, or anybody you know, have;
a) A CD copy of “Studio Tan” on Barking Pumpkin, WITHOUT an “Re-1” in the matrix code (the little code on the bottom side of the disc near the hub)?
b) A CD copy of Studio Tan on Zappa Records CD?
c) A CD copy of “Roxy and Elsewhere” on Barking Pumpkin, WITHOUT an “Re-1” in the matrix code?

Inquiring minds…
To contact ZP, the proverbial Click Here is to be clicked here.

Borg

Parodies of popular songs using karaoke-style backing music with vocals provided by audio pronunciation samples from online dictionaries — trust me, it’s funnier than it sounds.

iPod, You Pod

Posted on Thursday, 09/08/05 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Well today I could no longer resist the sheer beauty and functionality of the iPod, so I went and bought me one. Not the Shuffle (1Gb, ha!), nor the iPod nano (4Gb, haha!) and certainly not the iPod U2 (U2, hahaha!) — no, just the regular 20Gb white one.
Funny thing is you can have a phrase engraved on the back of it, which of course I couldn’t resist either. Free beer for the person who can guess what I had engraved on it… :)

Brussels Postponed

Posted on Wednesday, 09/07/05 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

The Zappa Plays Zappa concert in Vorst Nationaal which was to take place on November 11 has also been “postponed”, according to Go For Music. Someone on the Dutch Zappa-List posted the following (his source unclear to me): “The reason for the delay is that the Zappa family has recently found unknown audio & video which they would like to incorporate in the show. This caused a considerable delay in the pre-production of the tour.”

Butterfly Effect

As for George Dubya, there does appear to be some method to his madness…

Katrina (2)

Posted on Monday, 09/05/05 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Crooks & Liars is gathering audio and video of media-coverage in the aftermath of Katrina and oh my, there’s some chilling stuff to view. Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard as he was interviewed by Tim Russert, Geraldo Rivera and Shepard Smith on Fox News (who’d-a-thunk?) to name but a few.

When Cosby Sings

Posted on Monday, 09/05/05 by Barry's Imaginary Publisher

At waxy, a complete download of Bill Cosby’s 1971 album “Bill Cosby Talks To Kids About Drugs”. Slightly surreal, I should add.

Guitar poll (dot com)

Posted on Saturday, 09/03/05 by Balint

This is a guitar-poll. Mr. Zappa is Nr. 9 – I don’t remember ever finding him that close to the leaders in a poll like this. A nice thing that the winner (although “he improved his teacher”) is also presented by playing a Zappa-song.
