I'm still busy with St Nicholas (sat up until 2:30 AM working on that book for her, and it's still not finished) but yesterday was FO and AF, now I'm
playing WOIIFTM.
I'm really just a phoney but forgive me 'cause I'm stoned...

I'm not getting nanigo out of Fool. The beat is divided into three when it starts with a pretty straight 6/8. When the cymbal starts to double its
pace, the second of each three is being emphasised with snare and this lilt is not the same as nanigo. To get nanigo you have to split 2 and 5 to get
the effect of an even four playing in the same time as an even six. The bridge is where he goes from three on a beat to two on a beat, but this is a
time change, they're not being played at the same time.

Yesterday was St Nick, so I only played WOIIFTM and LG. Now I'm playing Ruben (that is, GLS version up to track 13) and have HR and UM about to find
their way to my player. On UM I do intend to skip the film dialogue. Especially disc 2 is quite an annoyance to listen to.
I love Cheap Thrills.

You're right about the Nanigo rhythm, Poly, thinking of it I don't hear it there either. Tssk Frank, fooling your audience...
Just finished BWS, playing WRMF and will move on to Chunga.

and Broadway, Boulez, YCDTOSA 3 which is wrapping up right now.
'it is now nearly 1 AM CST time here, 7 December 2012 - really very little going on, the news is still SO bad that I've reverted to reading
Renaissance history again. Writing out relations between powers, cities, states, offices, ideas. Usually non-relations and disruptions, but you get
the idea. Why? Because their is so similar to ours in so many ways. And in the ways their time is different than ours it is striking and revealing for
both us and them.
next Baby Snakes, best band, man from utopia, make a jazz noise, whew, that looks like a lot

It's because of that bridge that starts at 00:59. It's a very sharply contrasted time change which I thought I had understood but
it's more complex than I first realised. The point is that the main song has that 6/8 swing with 2 and 5 syncopated and the middle section has at the
very least a different beat size. So you get the feeling something funny is going on. Each beat in the change is roughly equal to 3 16ths from the
main part. I will figure it out.

Played the first disk of YCDTOSA 2, the Helsinki concert. I love the Don't You Ever Wash That Thing on that!
Thanks to Poly, I'm now playing Orchestral Favourites, TTR is also right besides me, for Sleep Dirt and YAWYI I'll have to go vinyl.

Let's see, yesterday I did OF, TTR, Joe's Garage, Sleep Dirt, Sheik Yerbouti, YCDTOSA vol 2 disk 2.
Today: Just did Ship, which remains a favourite in spite of the dislike it gets at zappa.com. I'm not all to appreciative of the artwork though (OK OK
I get it! You love your daughter! Allright already!). Am now melting at TMFU (What were you thinking, Frank?) and have Baby Snakes on the pile.
How unenthusiastic is Stick Together sung? Seriously this couldn't have been the best take, could it?

you are moving right along.
I didn't get far yesterday either. finished #5 and return but decided to skip #6, PP for now.
started shut up some more but restarted it today/ this morning and that set me right, maybe
. So today,
Shut up and play, ahead of their time, TTR...
I never liked ship/witch: too tinny/trebly for my taste. In fact I never enjoy steve vai's guitar. rarely. It took me a long time to like the '84 band
too, with the drum machine sound and extra layers of plastic crunch that fills that period's digital sound Frank's guitar was good but the rest took a
long time for me to get used to the sound, let alone enjoy it.
We Gotta Stick Together was rehearsed a lot and changed a lot and that song always sounds like a compromise in lots of ways. I still see the delivery
of it as mock-serious. As if Frank would like to go off but he's never serious on vocals, so the result captured on tape is in between.
Pygmy Twylyte on #2 is always a stunner for me.
I'm just not feeling it again today
