[Zappa-List] CIRCUS Magazine Is No More

2006-05-18 Thread Robert
According to Gawker.com, long-running rock publication Circus has 
closed its doors. Circus Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Gerald 
Rothberg has sent the following magazine-closure e-mail to the 
publication's contributors:

"It is with sadness and a deep sense of loss that I must inform you 
that I've experienced great financial loss, which includes Circus 
magazine. Over the last year, I've tried my best to hold on to 
Circus mag, selling all my personal possessions, including my home, 
pumping the money into the mag. And I've lost all. I've held off 
contacting people because of the shame and humiliation I've 
experienced. I'm broke. I feel like Humpty Dumpty who had a great 
fall. 

"Circus magazine is in foreclosure. Will the magazine be 
resurrected? I don't know. If it will appear on the newsstands 
again, we'll find out. Let me say this now, I appreciate and I am 
grateful your contributions all these years and wish all my 
freelance contributors the best of health and success."

According to RockCritics.com, Rothberg started Circus in 1966 under 
the title Hullabaloo. In the almost 40 years since, Circus has been 
many different kinds of music publication. It started out as a 
general interest rock magazine, running stories on classic rockers 
such as the DOORS, GENESIS, and GRAND FUNK RAILROAD. Later, Rothberg 
realized that his target audience — teen boys — loved to read about 
their favorite rock stars over and over, month after month. So when 
a band like KISS hit, they were one of Circus's biggest cover stars. 
Circus covered all kinds of rock and pop music but always featured a 
large number of heavy metal and hard rock bands in its pages.

Following an unpopular move to a pop culture weekly in the mold of 
People in the late '70s, Rothberg went back to a monthly format and 
started to get back to the hard rock and heavy metal stars that made 
his magazine sales soar. Rothberg's lean toward those kind of acts 
paid off big time in the '80s when the hair metal explosion hit. 
Month in and month out, it was DEF LEPPARD, VAN HALEN, and BON JOVI 
on the covers. The hair metal years in the '80s were Rothberg's most 
profitable for Circus. When grunge hit in the '90s, Circus got 
confused and lost its focus (even putting rappers ARRESTED 
DEVELOPMENT on the cover one month — and getting tons of hate mail 
in the process).

[Zappa-List] STEVE VAI Schedules NAMM Signing Sessions

2009-01-12 Thread Robert
Legendary guitarist Steve Vai will attend this year's NAMM (National 
Association Of Music Merchants) show, which is being held January 15-18 at the 
Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Steve will be taking part in 
signing sessions at the Ibanez booth at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, January 16 and at 
the Carvin booth on Saturday, January 17 at 11:00 a.m. Steve will also appear 
at the Carvin press conference on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

Important: The NAMM show is **NOT** open to the public. The only attendees are 
NAMM member companies and their invited guests.

As previously reported, Steve Vai is offering an unprecedented, masterclass 
opportunity to all music students and guitar enthusiasts. After testing the 
masterclass in various international territories, he is now bringing Alien 
Guitar Secrets to the United States. This three-hour-plus unique package gives 
the student a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear Steve discuss music 
theory, guitar techniques, the music business, and most importantly, techniques 
on how to discover and unlock your personal musical identity. It also includes 
a question-and-answer session, and a few attendees will be chosen to jam with 
Steve in this intimate environment.

[Zappa-List] CAPTAIN BEEFHEART Dead At 69

2010-12-18 Thread Robert
According to The Associated Press, musician and artist Don Van Vliet, who 
performed a complex brand of experimental rock under the name CAPTAIN 
BEEFHEART, died Friday. He was 69.

The Michael Werner Gallery in New York confirmed Van Vliet's death in 
California due to complications stemming from multiple sclerosis. The gallery 
exhibits his paintings.

Van Vliet was probably best known for the album Trout Mask Replica, which was 
released in 1969 by CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND HIS MAGIC BAND.

The album's angular, dissonant take on blues rock and Van Vliet's growling, 
surreal lyrics put him outside the mainstream, but staked his place in rock 
history.

Rolling Stone magazine recently ranked Trout Mask Replica number 58 on its list 
of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album was produced by fellow 
experimental rock pioneer FRANK ZAPPA, a high school friend from the desert 
town of Lancaster, CA.

"Record producers have always been certain that Don Vliet was just a hype away 
from the big money," according to a 1970 profile in Rolling Stone. "But 
Beefheart stubbornly continues what he's doing and waits patiently for everyone 
else to come around."

By shunning commercial success and a more accessible sound, Van Vliet became a 
role model for subsequent generations of musicians. His music is cited as an 
influence on the rise of punk, post-punk and new wave. Beefheart is also 
claimed as a kindred spirit by free jazz musicians and avant-garde classical 
composers.

In the 1980s, Van Vliet turned full-time to art. He painted in a raw, 
expressionistic style and showed his acclaimed work widely even as he withdrew 
from the public eye.

He is survived by his wife of more than 40 years.

[Zappa-List] Guitar Legend STEVE VAI And BERKLEE Attempt World Record For Largest Online Guitar Lesson

2011-02-20 Thread Robert
Berkleemusic, the online continuing education division of Boston's renowned 
Berklee College of Music, along with Grammy-award winning guitar virtuoso Steve 
Vai, have announced a call to action for guitarists around the world to join 
forces and set the Guinness World Record for the largest online guitar lesson 
on March 3, 2011. This first-of-its-kind initiative will bring together the 
worldwide community of guitarists in an unprecedented online celebration of 
music education.

Vai, who is currently recording a new album and preparing for an extensive 
world tour, is a Berklee alumnus with a devoted fan base in over seventy 
countries. Although he is not a guitar instructor, Vai is a passionate advocate 
for music exploration and hopes the event will encourage players to continue to 
cultivate their own unique style and spirit on the instrument. "This online 
event, and the larger efforts Berkleemusic is making to teach students around 
world, is a great example of the collaboration that happens at Berklee," says 
Vai. "Whether you're in Boston, Bombay, or Brussels, we'll all be together on 
March 3."

The World's Largest Online Guitar Lesson is a one-time event that takes place 
Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. EST. Berkleemusic has partnered with 
Livestream, the pre-eminent live streaming video platform, to host this event 
in their New York City studio. Participants can learn more about the online 
lesson at this location.

Vai's free online lesson will last 30 minutes, and will provide a look into 
Steve's technique with a focus on how guitarists can develop and gain insight 
into their own playing. In order to further engage with his fans, Steve is also 
encouraging participants to submit questions to him online, which he will 
answer onstage at the conclusion of his online lesson. Interested participants 
can submit questions to Steve on the event's web page, located here.

As a gesture of its commitment to music education, Berkleemusic will donate one 
dollar for every person that joins the online lesson to the Steve Vai Online 
Scholarship Fund at Berkleemusic, which is designed to reward and assist 
outstanding students studying in Berkleemusic's multi-course certificate 
programs.

"Steve Vai is one of the most popular guitarists on the planet, and deservedly 
so," says Dave Kusek, CEO of Berkleemusic. "We're thrilled and honored to 
partner with Steve for this unique online guitar lesson, and excited to play a 
part in exposing a record-setting number of guitarists from around the world to 
his 'otherworldly' techniques."

Berkleemusic and Steve Vai have also partnered to author a brand new 12-week 
online course: Steve Vai Guitar Techniques. This online course presents 
students with the chance to gain a deep understanding of Vai's death-defying 
playing styles, repertoire, techniques, and musical concepts from anywhere in 
the world, and incorporate their learnings into their own playing. The Steve 
Vai Guitar Techniques online course builds upon the renowned guitar curriculum 
that Berklee has been providing to students for decades. The course is now open 
for enrollment for the school's spring term which begins on April 4, 2011.

[Zappa-List] Introduction

2007-02-09 Thread robert smith
Hi Group,
   
  Just wanted to introduce a 'newbie' to the group. What can I say? FZ has 
ruled my world for many many years, was able to see him live 5 times (certainly 
not enough), met Frank at the book signing for the 'Real FZ' book. I think I 
have around 75 FZ cd's (all commercial releasees), about 12 or so videos/dvds, 
7 or 8 books this man has always intrigued me. His brilliance and 
intellectual-ism inspires me to keep 'informed'. My favorite solo is probably 
on One SizeInca Roads, or possibly The Squirm off of Apocrypha and now 
released on Trance fusion under a different name and different mix. Favorite 
quote has to be 'jazz isn't dead"  Favorite period, that's a tough one. 
Most likely the period of Zoot, One Size, Hot Rats, but the Grand Wazoo and 
Lumpy Gravy hit the stereo quite often.
   
  Have to commend Dweezil for doing such an incredible job on bringing Frank's 
music out to the public again. I got the chance to see 4 of the shows and that 
wasn't enough. I'm looking forward to seeing more and to see what he comes up 
with next. I have to say, he is keeping the music, the atmosphere, the talent 
all  up to Frank's standard.doing the music justice with the band he put 
together and with the fun they are having on stage. The last show at the 
Morongo just floored me. What a way to end the tour this past year!!
   
  And lastly, being new to the group, I see there is a vine on the ZPZ 
shows. any chance of getting in this late? or the ability to do a trade 
with anyone? I'd like to relive some of these musical moments again.
   
  Thanks for listening!!!
  Robert

  there are a few songs with guitar solos that equal and surpass anything on 
the guitar cd or the SUAPYG cd. Any Zappa fan should definitely go out and get 
this one. In fact any fan of music (with intelligence) should have this 
just my opinion.
   
  The quality is amazing, the playing is amazing. I can only imagine what else 
is locked up in the UMRK!!!

I have the original Verve label vinyl of the first few albumsI'd have to go 
and look at the albums to make sure. Problem is now, I don't have a turntable 
worthy of playing my old vinyl. I would hate to ruin such a treasure with a 
crappy system. 
   
  any suggestions on a turntable under $500??

If this is a recurring problem, would it be possible to send along with the 
discs a sheet of paper with FLAC instructions? or a good link to read up on 
FLAC? I have a bit of music in FLAC format from other artists, but it might be 
a good idea for those that are venturing out of the mp3 format.

[Zappa-List] Zappa Beer

2008-02-11 Thread robert smith
Hey folks,

Just want everyone to be aware that lagunitas brewing company has released it's 
3rd Zappa beer to date. This one is the Lumpy Gravy ale. Sadly, I missed out on 
the 2nd beer (Kill Ugly Radio) released and I was looking all last year, but 
apparently, I missed it. And once these 'brewed once only' ales are gone, they 
are gone. So, I'm forwarding this info to everyone who is collecting the Zappa 
ales.

I went on to bevmo.com and did a search and ordered by mail, in case you can't 
find it locally.

Drink up!

Robert
