My sixth Zappadan has started! Last night I listened to Freak Out! and Absolutely Free, now I'm listening to WOIIFTM. HELLO FRANK ZAPPAAAA!
BBP - 4-12-2014 at 12:28
German Lunch still gets me...
BBP - 4-12-2014 at 17:27
Also played Lumpy Gravy, still a firm favourite, even if I can talk along completely.
Now listening to Greasy Love Songs/Ruben. Noticed there's quite an ambiance difference when Desiree starts.
BBP - 5-12-2014 at 12:44
Also played Hot Rats yesterday and am now onto BWS. One of my favourites!
polydigm - 5-12-2014 at 14:06
What happened to Uncle Meat?
BBP - 6-12-2014 at 01:22
Played that yesterday of course! Even listened to the sections in full.
Today's St Nick, so besides Weeny I played Fillmore on vinyl (three unreleased recordings of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fighting in the dressing
room of the Fillmore East!) and Chunga and now I'm on the 2nd CD of Twoooo Hun-dreeed Mo-teeeeeeeeeels!
By the look of the vast stack of brochures I have to deliver tomorrow (in fact I'm getting extra pay, in total 18 euros bonus) it looks like I need to
work hard to stay on last year's schedule.
BBP - 6-12-2014 at 09:18
Rounding off Flo & Eddie with JABFLA.
BBP - 6-12-2014 at 15:33
Finished the noosepapers and am chilling to Waka/Jawaka.
BBP - 7-12-2014 at 00:09
Been moving on in the 70s with Wazoo,OS, Apostrophe, and now Roxy. Yay!
BBP - 7-12-2014 at 00:11
Current Zappa love: Echidna's Arf (of you)'s bassline.
BBP - 7-12-2014 at 13:45
On Bongo Fury!
BBP - 7-12-2014 at 15:37
YCDTOSA 1/1... the Poetry gets me every time. When I read Musashi, a Japanese classic, which contains the phrase about "watering the garden with my
tears" I was in stitches.
BBP - 8-12-2014 at 11:31
Made it up to Studio Tan yesterday and now I'm listening to Orchestral Favourites, thanks Poly. Will have a lot of vinyl listening to do shortly, with
Sleep Dirt, Sheik and YAWYI and Them Or Us.
BBP - 8-12-2014 at 20:28
Sleep Dirt needs more love. The title track is gorgeous! And Spider of Destiny parallels to Village Of The Sun. The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution is
now #2 in my Favourite FZ Bassline list.
BBP - 9-12-2014 at 13:00
Now onto Tinsel Town Rebellion. Have to listen to that on the laptop in view of damage.
BBP - 9-12-2014 at 17:35
Now onto YCDTOSA 2/1 after listening to Sheik. I love Sheik!
BBP - 10-12-2014 at 12:08
Am now on Baby Snakes.
Noticed on YAWYI how annoying it is that the vocals are there, and too loud during the Dumb All Over guitar solo.
BBP - 10-12-2014 at 15:27
Now on TMFU... What's that weird low sound on Cocaine Decisions? Why does it sound just like House For Sale?
BBP - 10-12-2014 at 18:17
YCDTOSA 3/2, Dickie: Those lyrics are timeless aren't they?
BBP - 11-12-2014 at 11:16
Now on Perfect Stranger. Also am halfway with the YCDTOSA series, making good time on them.
BBP - 12-12-2014 at 11:41
Onto 555 now...
BBP - 13-12-2014 at 13:04
Got to listen to ThingFish, am now on Jazz From Hell.
BBP - 13-12-2014 at 20:18
Reached 1988. Yesterday I totally happened to listen to the Bolero, and somehow I could FZs reggae version a lot more now than before.
Now at YCDTOSA 5/2.
BBP - 14-12-2014 at 14:58
Noticed I hadn't played Guitar yet, so listened to that one... Am very close to finish.
BBP - 15-12-2014 at 11:49
Played disk 1 of Jazz Noise yesterday and disk 2 today. Didn't make much headway yesterday with only 5 CDs it feels like, but I've had all the
YCDTOSAs now, only have AOTT, PP, Yellow Shark and CP3 left, and I'll leave CP3 for the 21st.
And what a great solo on Black Page!
BBP - 16-12-2014 at 11:00
Already onto Yellow Shark now... will listen to some of the post-FZ releases.
BBP - 16-12-2014 at 21:19
Heard Have I Offended Someone?
Had been a while but it was my 2nd Zappa album after Son Of Cheep Thrills, and someow I'll always feel that Dinah-Moe Humm is the best one.
BBP - 17-12-2014 at 12:33
Lost Episodes, just started on it.
BBP - 19-12-2014 at 00:27
Played Zappa/Wazoo, Trance-Fusion and Mystery Disk.
BBP - 19-12-2014 at 18:27
Monkees!
BBP - 20-12-2014 at 18:35
Also played Imaginary Diseases and... what was it? yesterday and am now onto Hammersmith Odeon.
BBP - 21-12-2014 at 18:46
Wathed 200 Motels and tried if I could find a little more on Martin Lickert. Such a cute guy, sad to hear he passed on in 2006.

Wrapped up Zappadan yesterday. During Zappadan I don't backtrack either, which isn't fun if you really want to hear a song again. This year I also
managed to wear a Zappa-shirt every day. I tried not to listen to Dir en grey, but they had a new album out last week so that didn't work.
BBP - 23-12-2014 at 19:30
Listening a lot to Amnerika now and suddenly the connection between the piece and Webern's Klangfarbenmelodien dawned on me.
