Played YCDTOSA 3 (I love that Honey, Don't You Want A Man Like Me, and it's great to hear Frank lose his cool and crack up over something silly like
Hi-ho Silver! I do wonder how it got started.)
Currently listening to Blue Light on TTR, which has a special place in my heart since Dweezil pointed me out at the 2010 Amsterdam concert because I
knew the words to it. I also love this Tell Me You Love Me a lot.

Discovered I misplaced my YCDTOSA 2 copy.
Discovered while playing YAWYI (how much does Any Downers sound like Dirty Love?) that I had skipped Joe's Garage.
I played YAWYI and am still busy pinpointing what went wrong. Is it over-compressed and missing too any overtones, giving the tinny sound?
Now listening to: We could jam in Joe's garage...

Everything Is Healing Nicely I play this more than many others. I realized that's because of the T'mershi Duween and Nap Time.
Mystery Disc something I listened to a lot making comps for friends. Now I never hear it complete.
Have I Offended Someone? better Dinah-Mo, different Dumb All Over
Frank Zappa Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa, a memorial tribute such tone, great Zoot Allures
Lost Episodes ditto for Mystery Disc, Sharleena is wonderful

I definitely agree about Dinah-Moe on that. Oddly it does not specify what the difference is between that version and the original.
Had Ship, which I adore, and now I'm playing the Man from Utopia. Cocaine Decisions isn't all that bad and I really like SEX (that guitar sounds more
raunchy than the text is, isn't it amazing?), We Are Not Alone and Moggio, but I have better versions of the last two by other bands.
Say is any of you still interested in We Are Not Alone by the Rosa Ensemble? You can find a sample here:

They als have Klodderige Jus (Lumpy Gravy):

shorter YAWYI: get the EMI or German vinyl, avoid the cd even after '95, though that's not bad; same for Sheik Yerbouti. I didn't make the rules but
the sound is always right.
also listened to 1981 11 17 NYC Ritz show with Al DiMeola, another great Italian, then,
Civilization Phaze III "Xmas Values" feels extra creepy today
the extras on Lather not found on the other records: a bit less than 30 minutes worth

I got the vinyl for both Sheik and YAWYI.
Played YCDTOSA vol 3 last night which is interesting, hearing the live version of three YAWYI songs on it. They all sound sort of better. Even Cocaine
Decisions with the teargas grenades and Zappa switching to Italian sounds better live than on TMFU.
Now playing: Baby Snakes. Jones Crusher! Yay!

London Symphony Orchestra disk 2.
Bogus Pomp contains segments of This Town Is A Sealed Tuna Sandwich. Hey!
AM getting a move on. Went to the second-hand store today and am very happy I did, but it does eat your time.

there are some vinyl versions of YAWYI that sound crappy: thin, compressed, digital reverb, slightly fast. One I had to start was thin, compressed,
then somebody gave me a tape with the 'better' version on it, but that sounded 'fast' to me (and it was: the belt on his player was too tight or the
motor too fast). I realised this later when I heard the bootleg version of 'Crush All Boxes' that has some YAWYI songs on it at the original speed
and production. WOW!! what a difference. Then I got one of the more recent vinyl EMI re-issues ( a German one) and now feel this has got to be the
right sound.
Back to the listening.
Playground Psychotics never noticed that the beginning of 'Sleep Dirt' was on 'Don't Eat There'. I always hear more in Billy The
Mountain when I play it.

Fast is no problem for me, I have a variable speed turntable. It's surprising how great the Goblin Girl on Have I Offended Someone? sounds. It's one
of the projects ZFT could and should really do: the final proper YAWYI release. There's some other points where I had that. Heard of the Sheik
Yerbouti CD having a bad edit. And Burnt Weeny Sandwich has a bad edit in the piano intro which is inexcusable.
Also played Perfect Stranger, Thing-Fish and YCDTOSA vol 4 disk 1. Vol 4 disk 1, with Cleveland, Torture, the perfect Evil Prince and many others, is
my favourite disk of the 12. But now I'm noticing the first signs of fatigue: not Cocaine Decisions again!
Playing FZ meets MOP. I really like Little Beige Sambo.

Forgot Weasels, which I played today, along with Francesco and DHBIM. I really like DHBIM, some great Cleveland solos and Whippin' Post is a delight.
Am about to move on to Monkies.

Shut Up & Play Your Guitar now. Accidentally I began with the 3rd CD, which is the best of course (Canard du Jour).

I remember you stating your displeasure Bonny with this song, so I listened carefully to the words again this time and looked them up and am now of
the opinion that the 'baritone women' are actually men who in Frank's opinion act like 'women' because of the job they have to/had to do.

Hmmm. I tend to relate it to Frank's anti-feminism stance which is displayed in extremis on Thing-Fish.
Granted, that one feminist subject I attended briefly was beyond stupid.
