I am enjoying this deep dive into the Zappa archive.
Mickey (host) 8:10:31 AM
Thanks Dave. Too much good stuff to choose from.
Mickey (host) 8:27:33 AM
Did the stream disappear for anyone else?
Mickey (host) 8:31:20 AM
Apparently just me, so good.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 8:31:28 AM
Not for me. I've been streaming for the past 15 minutes and I heard no gaps.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 8:46:32 AM
That backwards portion made me think: about how much effort had to go into editing songs for airplay? Zappa uses plenty of words that might upset certain federal communications types.
Mickey (host) 8:48:29 AM
This week wasn't so bad, although I did forget one and had to go back and blur something (Beefheart screaming "Shit-ass Charlotte"). Next week, though...
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 9:06:03 AM
A Spinitron search revealed that there is a weekly Zappa themed show on KBUT in Crested Butte, Sunday nights 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Mickey (host) 9:09:42 AM
Interesting. "Crested Butte" could be a title on one of the guitar solo albums.
jimbeaux 9:26:39 AM
enjoy being Zapped!
Mickey (host) 9:27:51 AM
Thanks Jim. This is week 1 of 2.
Corage Mike 9:28:55 AM
Wow, glad I woke tp today.
Mickey (host) 9:29:37 AM
I say that most days as well, Mike.
Corage Mike 9:31:43 AM
Imaginary Diseases. Shaving poodles... so way ahead of his time.
Mickey (host) 9:31:27 AM
Add water, makes its own sauce.
Corage Mike 9:35:35 AM
Listening last week to a Rhino podcast, Alice Cooper had a lot of stuff to say about FZ. Certainly changed the way I listen to music. Hot Rats in the late 70’s. Joe’s Garage came out and cemented it for me. Love the stuff with Adrian Belew, which that would have led to more.
Mickey (host) 9:49:33 AM
I'm glad he found Adrian.
Shane Navoy 9:53:22 AM
Before the show ends, Mickey, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed it.
Mickey (host) 9:53:57 AM
Thanks Shane! More next week...
Shane Navoy 9:54:41 AM
Super. Thanks ahead of time.
Bob Hamilton 9:55:23 AM
thanks for a great show
Corage Mike 9:55:20 AM
Imagine the music he would have given us. The commentary, the musicians he would have turned us on to.... Flo and Eddie here!
Mickey (host) 9:56:11 AM
Thanks Bob!
Corage Mike 9:56:41 AM
Never would have known them without Frank....and WPRB. Thanks for the show!
Mickey (host) 9:57:36 AM
Alright folks, this was week 1. FZ's 80th birthday is next Monday; much more then...
Mickey (host) 9:57:49 AM
Thanks Mike
