... anything beyond Sexual Harassment is a complete bore to me.

I can't believe that it is possible to be a Frank Zappa fan and to have problems with the above music at the same time. You are probably wrong in the universe of Frank Zappa and other related concepts. You should better consider buying the latest releases by Robbie Williams, Lady Gaga and the like instead, if you didn't already. You must be somebody who came from hearing Bobby Brown on the radio first and then discovering things, that were horrifying for you.

I think anybody who is into Zappa should have understood the basic concept of artistic freedom. Recently I was astound about how many people from the Zappa world have simple-minded problems with an album like Trout Mask Replica in that other thread.

Thinman

A lot of the edits within songs in the YCDTOSA series are a bit terrible. I can't recall the volume, but cutting in an ancient lo-fi chorus of "Lonesome Cowboy Burt" into a later recorded version is just shit awful on the ears. You're into the new track, then the old one comes on and throws you right out of the song. Then you get used to it and it throws you back to the new recording. Oof! Maybe we'll get some "Road Tapes" version of some of the more interesting material that showed up on these releases.

There are a lot of goofy throwaway songs like "Coneheads", but "Promiscuous" is just terrible in every way. Even as a satire of shitty white rap music it's terrible. Zappa was way better then that, especially with that band.

I was never huge on "Guitar" either, but listening to it last night with fresh ears, I enjoyed it a lot more. I wont right it off.

That Watermelon thing is just pathetic...

I always wished 'Packard Goose' would segue into 'Green Rosetta' right away

What are you saying? Watermelon in Easter Hay is one of Zappa's greatest guitar performances, and songs! It is a masterpiece!

I like a lot of Zappa's Musique Concrete pieces and his noise experiments, but I can't stand the song "Weasels Ripped My Flesh." It sounds like the noise the vacuum cleaner makes when I vacuum out my car at the self-serve car wash.

Hot-Plate Heaven At The Green Hotel. I just, don't get it I guess..

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Da nada.

There was a "special time"? Isn't that special.

SEX is certainly a stupid song, but it doesn't touch the awfulness of Promiscuous.

though I haven't listened to that album in a long time. Maybe I'll like it when I revisit it.

How soon we forget the good and only remember the bad,, typical woman...

Nice try and you even stooped to name calling again...how ingenious.
If your referring to your PM about the Reno DZpZ gig, where you where going to fuck, fuck, fuck, me in the ass, ass, ass in real BIG LETTERS, Dweezil's Dummy, I'll post it, if you want to feel real small.
Besides, I'm handling a beast of another sort. Your predictable and a boor. Everything you say ends up with male on male p o r n, and your ass. Why's that?......You like it and can't come up with anything original. A Myna bird like Titoney.
Now, Shue Fly Shue!
