I’ve been doing some reading about Frank Zappa lately and have become very fascinated. This podcast has a few Zappa tracks and a track with one of his many drummers to close it out. I’ve had a peripheral interest in Frank Zappa for a long time but more as an icon than as a musician. I remember when he appeared in front of Congress in 1985 at hearing brought about by the Parents Music Resource Center in 1985 and his name graced many a show’s playlist at the radio station. As I delve into him a bit more you’ll probably see more stuff on here about him. He seems to be one of the few musicians I feel that I should have some knowledge of before making a presentation of some sort. Also, I mention in the podcast an interview I found with a dude called Mark Pinksi, who was Zappa’s engineer for a long time and the link to the different parts of the interview is here. Enjoy the podcast!

As promised, here’s the first of what I expect to be 2 podcasts for this weekend.  Enjoy a little b-ball music.

I’m not sure what tarrying is but if it’s a sly way to say ‘get a dang podcast done’, then I didn’t have any time this week.  Luckily, I’ve got a bit of time this weekend to do at least one and I might do a couple just to keep in the bag.

While catching up on the music blogs I read I came across this gem. One blogger was reading Radiohead’s blog and saw in a picture a couple of song titles that he had in his mp3 collection and posted said mp3′s. Both songs are bootlegs but decent quality for sampling purposes. Dig upon the goodies here.

Still sick, but finally feeling a little bit better today. I got a swank 11 hours of bachelor like sleep last night and it did me pretty well. I’m chillin’ hardcore today because Trish and I are going to dinner and for Valentine’s Day my sweetie got me/us 8th row seats to Rent at the Fox and I don’t want to be hacking and snorting my way through it. Word up homies.

I had some time to myself this evening and took the time to do a new and overdue podcast. This second installment of Cover To Cover centers around the song 17 Days. Enjoy!

Ok, I somehow just switched themes (appearances) and it switched back, and then forth, and then back again. I’m going to go have a beer and work on it more tomorrow. Wait, I do a sleep study tomorrow. Tuesday then.

Trish and her girlfriends are watching the Oscars and since I haven’t seen any of the films up for best this or that, I’m taking this time to tinker with this a bit. So far so easy…
