Topic | The Frank Zappa Appreciation and Song of the Day Topic! Part 10 |
Mr Lasastryke 10/17/17 9:59:50 PM #312 | Song of One Hundred Sixty-Four Days Ago: Zappa Plays Zappa - Watermelon in Easter Hay (bootleg) ![]() This was used as a sample song for the concert on the Palais des Beaux Arts site. Beautiful composition, obviously, but I'm not in love with this particular version. First of all, Dweezil pretty much just plays Frank's solo from the studio version note-for-note. I've looked up a different Zappa Plays Zappa verison of "Watermelon" and Dweezil does the same thing there, so apparently this was standard procedure for ZPZ performances of this tune. Perhaps Dweezil thought it was disrespectful to "compete" with his father's iconic solo with a solo of his own, but I don't know, I'd rather hear Dweezil create something new over this vamp. Second of all, I don't like the drumming; it's too plodding. But it's always nice to hear "Watermelon," and the video quality is fair, so... --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |

Mr Lasastryke 10/17/17 9:47:13 PM #311 | Yesterday Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever The F@%K He Wants played at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels. I looked up the description of the band at their site and I'm positive I've read it before and posted a translated version of it in one of the Zappa topics. Apparently it's some standard text that several venues use. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |

(Assume this person doesn't have someone very close to them who went through ACTUAL assault and or rape that chose not to take part in this idiotic propaganda campaign) oh hey, i know several people close to me who went through actual assault and/or rape who didn't take part in this campaign so i guess i can't make a joke about this on facebook either. it's almost as if the number of people for whom it's SO INCREDIBLY EASY to lie about being raped becomes a lot smaller when you start adding caveats like these. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |

Mr Lasastryke 10/17/17 12:14:07 PM #238 | for what it's worth, i do agree with ulti that posting #metoo isn't necessarily courageous. like, i'm sure there are some women who just jumped on the bandwagon because some dude at a bar called them hot once. saying it doesn't take courage for jennifer lawrence to admit to the entire planet that she was assaulted at age 15 because "it's not costing her her job" is fucking disgusting, though. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |

And if something is super common, it's harder to prove that it's bad. ...why does anyone need to prove to you that sexual assault is bad? did you completely stop believing in libertarianism and everything it stands for overnight or something?

MysticBrohan posted... The Fratellis - Medusa in Chains i listened to this on spotify because the YT video didn't work for me. i'd heard of the fratellis before but i'd never listened to them. i liked the melodies and the piano focused sound in this. a minor complaint is that i don't like the extremely simple, plodding drumming - i'm sure that was a deliberate choice but it didn't work for me. good song overall, though. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |

Dems are complaining that this will "unfairly" increase the amount of taxes paid by high-tax states. eh, "democrats are hit hardest" is kind of misleading, though. you can say democrat leaning states are hit hardest but i'm sure there are plenty of non-dems living in those states who would be hit hard as well. but uh yeah, obviously if you're in favor of high taxes you should be ok with people paying high taxes. if dems are really complaining about that that's really stupid. unless the tax rates get way higher than the dems ever wanted now or something. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |
