Now listed as January 31 2014.
Probably not the last bump.
 
I bet Gail spent my money already.


Going to be at least five more delays to that IMO.

When the Snow Apocalypse hit the U.S. Midwest last week and being stuck inside, I rather enjoyed listening to Apostrophe. As the story in the first part of that album was relevant to my surroundings then. Yellow Snow Crystals ha ha!

A monster.
To me, Guitar Solos and Civilization phaze III were really impressive among many sides of him.

The Lather/Orchestral Favorites version of Duke of Prunes is the best version of the tune, IMO. Beautiful stuff.

^ Nice. The Real Frank Zappa Book is a great read.

An original vinyl print of Uncle Meat?

It is quite intriguing, especially for a minute and a half clip. I wonder where Dance Me This falls in a chronological order. Did Zappa finish it before CPIII, along with The Rage and The Fury? I know CPIII was worked on until his final days, but some say Dance Me This is unfinished. Of course, since none of us have heard it, it's all speculation.

But those albums need to come out, we need more 90s Zappa!!!

Only Frank can address an album sleeve note to his fans like this :   " Dear Maniac Person "

Cool! Thanks. I'll give a listen a bit later, but I'm excited to hear it. This is exactly why I want this album asap. Didn't realize FZ put it together before his death either.

And yeah, what was with Understanding America? I see no reason at all why that needs to exist.
