Song of One Hundred Fifty Days Ago: When No One Was No One (from Guitar)


Great Frank guitar solo from Guitar, which I was listening to recently. Perhaps I'll do some more tracks from this album later (if I can find them on YT, that is...). Excerpted from a "Zoot Allures" performance.

Song of One Hundred Forty-Nine Days Ago: Dancin' Fool (from Sheik Yerbouti)


Doing this one again because I recently found out that one of the genres Wikipedia lists for Sheik Yerbouti is "parody of disco." Obviously they're referring to this song, but I'm pretty sure that's a genre the Wikipedia people decided to make up.

Also makes me wonder why, say, You Are What You Is doesn't list "parody of country" as a genre because of "Harder Than Your Husband." I'm sure there's endless debates on the Wikipedia "View history" pages I could read about this stuff!

Song of One Hundred Fifty Days Ago: Big Swifty (from Road Tapes, Venue 2)


No particular reason for this one, just a nice tune to groove out to with multiple solos. Frank takes the lengthier solo of the three.

Song of One Hundred Forty-Five Days Ago: Don't Eat the Yellow Snow (from Apostrophe ['])


The other day, a guy on Dutch TV was using the lines "Watch out where the huskies go/An' don't you eat that yellow snow" as an example of "how song lyrics can be just as good as poetry." Way to go, dude!

Song of One Hundred Thirty-Nine Days Ago: Punky's Whips (from Zappa in New York/Läther)


Had to think of this song when we were discussing how Ed Bellis was forced to censor his novel by his publisher. Warner Bros. infamously quickly withdrew versions of Zappa in New York and released a new, censored version. It omitted "Punky's Whips" (because they were afraid that Punky Meadows would object), much to Frank's chagrin. Fortunately, we can now all enjoy this great number (on Muffin's own YouTube channel, even)!

so zapmachine, a band i've mentioned a number of times before (they're an instrumental band that mainly plays zappa and soft machine, hence the name) was playing near where i live today, but i didn't go.

i may see them in august when they're playing in amsterdam, though!


That show was yesterday and I didn't go. It was part of a festival - they only played for 45 minutes :-/

oh, i didn't realize you were already done with the MGS2 LP. too bad you didn't like it but you'll probably like this one better (as people in your topic about the MGS2 LP pointed out).

and yes, this is a prequel.

edit: oh, ninja'd.

B8 told me not to bother watching if I wasn't going to play, so I guess that's it for MGS!


eh, seems like the people who were saying that weren't entirely familiar with the concept of let's play tbqh (they were saying stuff like "it's just watching some asshole play the game," which totally ignores the aspect of commentary and the importance of that). obviously it's a different experience than playing an MGS game - that's apples and oranges - but that doesn't mean there's no value to be found in watching a good LP of an MGS game.

but it's your topic, so if you're done with watching MGS LPs that's fine, of course.

On 10/17 Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever the F@%k He Wants is coming to Utrecht, a city that's pretty close to where I live. A friend of my dad's is going.

Not sure yet if I'm going - I'm still looking for a job so I'm kinda short on money right now. I'm considering it, though.

Song of One Hundred Thirteen Days Ago: Teen-age Wind (from You Are What You Is)


Christopher Cross was playing in the Netherlands about a week ago. Frank composed this song as a parody (sort of) of Cross' "Ride Like the Wind"!

A neat little detail is that You Are What You Is opening with the wind blowing sound effect harkens back to Apostrophe (') opening with a wind blowing sound effect. Don't think I ever pointed that out before when discussing this song.

Another fun fact: Frank actually played "Ride Like the Wind" live once in '81. Would be nice if that one got an official release!
