[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

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.

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??

There are some pieces of music on this release that are simply amazing. Some of 
my favorites so far...
   
  Keep it Greasy 
  Torture Never Stops (all 23 minutes worth - and this version is so different 
than any other version I've heard)
  Andy
  Illinois Enema Bandit (never heard Zappa forget lyrics before!!!)
   
  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!!!

[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
