Top 5 Zappa song for me.
One of those sounds that is hard to find throughout the rest of his catalogue IMO.
Coming up on 12 years since we lost George, RIP!

Didn’t notice this came out today. Wildly different than what was on OSFA.
R.I.P. Mark Volman. The Flo and Eddie era of the Mothers is one of my favorites. Lots of great moments between Mark and Howard.
Yeah, RIP Flo. I happen to love some of their duo albums as well. Here’s a lovely track from Mark:
All around great performance but 6:34 onwards is nuts. Bozzio’s fills are unreal.
Some nice unedited Token of My Extreme videos being uploaded. Amazing that this version is basically just the studio cut. George and Ruth are the stars of this one.
I am LOVING this Montana from the newly released Rotterdam show (part of the OSFA extravaganza). What a unique little jam!
New Halloween release coming. Big one too. This show as been shared around a ton.
One for Halloween!
Zappa Halloween shows are the best! The new one is epic, def worth a spin!
Zappa passed away today in 1993.
Check this out! Weird Al walking out to Cosmik Debris! Semi-related: listen to his tribute to Zappa “Genius in France.”
I love Genius in France. He nails it. I’ve been a big Zappa fan since right before he died. There’s eras and releases that I don’t much care for but I love the earl stuff into the 70’s with a passion. I caught one of the Zappa Players bands (not Dweezil) opening for King Crimson and it was pretty dope. Excellent version of Village of the Sun sticks in my mind.
I saw The Zappa Band with King Crimson too. Village was really good.
It would have been Zappa’s 85th birthday today.
Couple of deeper cuts for yas
Zappa rules. Helped me answer the question “Does Humor Belong in Music?”
(Yes, it does)
They’re teasing a Bongo Fury box set! Always wondered if it was possible. Not sure where it stood rights-wise due to Beefheart.
Blown away by this. According to them its 80% unreleased. There’s some songs on here that have never been released generally. Very exciting news.

Someone on eBay is selling the original sheet music for this song. Apparently from Herb Cohen’s collection. One of my favorites.
