 Fellow Zappa fans:

 If you want the Roxy soundtrack cd, here's a Pre-sale offer,
 I will sign up with ZFT to become a distributor if enough of my 
 fellow Zappalisters reply and commit to buy a copy from me for $25.

 I have to admit that I thought it was bad idea when I first read 
 about ZFT's plan to license distributors for $1000.I still think 
 it's a bit crazy. But doing the math I realized that a distributor 
 could recover the $1000 fee and break even by selling about 130 units.

 So what do you people think? If we make this happen, we just might 
 see the Roxy video get released in our life times.

 Here's what to do: Send me a reply, saying you want to buy the cd 
 for $25 (that includes shipping to USA addresses)
 If I get enough votes before the deadline, I will commit to 
 becoming a distributor, and follow up with each of you to provide 
 more details.

 If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks for listening,

 Andrew

 PS- I know some of you are wondering, who is this Andrew guy and why 
 should I trust him? I didn't just pop up out of no where. I have 
 been a member of this list for years now and a few of you know me 
 from trades and vines.

 My two cents worth.

[Zappa-List] Former bandmate scored my short film

2006-08-05 Thread Kevin
Zappa's percussionist Ed Mann recently did a wonderful score for my
film Night of the Dying Living.  He's an amazing musician and
talented film scorer.  I was sorta into Zappa but thanks to YouTube
and a friend with all his albums, I've had a very refreshing revisit
to the artist that is Zappa.

You can see the short film here:

Thanks for having a great group.
