A mix of things that you may or may not already know…
- New ZPZ tourdates are announced.
- Gail and Dweez talk about an upcoming Ruben & The Jets release (mp3 link), akin to, or so it seems, the MOFO project.
- No more Zappa beers to be issued.
- A nice set of pictures taken at Project/Object’s Feb 6 ’09 gig, courtesy of our pal SOFA.
- Paul Green’s School of Rock obtains the approval stamp from the ZFT (sort of odd, since they had been sent a Cease & Desist letter previously.) We actually called a PR representative of “School of Rock” who confirmed to us that “matters have been settled” — upon which he couldn’t get off the phone with us fast enough. Hi Alex!
- Your Three Month Old – Week One — oh wait, wrong weblog…
- From Inkanish Records comes news of a compilation CD entitled “Pay The Indian”. All funds are to go to Jimmy Carl Black’s family. The album has contributions from Don Preston and Bunk Gardner, The Wrong Object, Zappatika and Ed Mann — among others.
- Take a deep breath: A Brief History of Developments in 20th Century Classical Music, related to the compositional style of Frank Zappa.
- Relevant perhaps to some recent discussions here: a profile of “moot”, creator of 4chan, as well as Malwebolence – The World of Web Trolling. Long story short: don’t be an ass.
- Steve Martin’s Cruel Shoes — or Sinister Footwear if you prefer…
