Are You Hung Up? Frank Zappa Fans Unite

[SheikYerbouti]

For you AuraofDora

It's real angora

C'mon Aura

Ahem AURA, where are you? FGS

i'm an aura f'gawd sake
give me time!
was having me dinner...and speaking to wotshisface dh

we went to see the dweezil concert in albert hall ages ago, it was good but like being at the party without the champagne.. iykwim

same with the beefheart thing in royal festival hall but that was better venue...

did you ever see him?
me no but dh a few times am a late convert through him really..

No, I newver saw him. but My dad is a big fan and saw him in the 70s. My best mate Mike saw him in Londion during the 80s (Hammersmith Apollo, I think) They both said he was amazing.

IO was brought up on FZ. My dad is a bity of an old hippy, so there was always cool music on in our house.

Are you a name changer, Aura????

how cool!
i only got johnny cash and lots of jazz from dad and elvis from my mum!

ds is going be like you, i hope, he loves hot rats atm
and one of my most precious memories is his tapping out the rythmn of peaches on regalia
en womb

yes i am
felt a bit exposed and time for a change

OMG Zappa and Beefheart mentioned in the same thread!

Tsar Trivia: I have always toyed with IceCreamforCrow as my mn name .

evelyn the modified dog was one of my candidates tsarchasm

i do like tsarchasm v good

Impressed at Aura seeing Dweezil and having a dh into Beefheart.

take it your in tsarchasm?
or are you just being tsarcastic?

i find his music so amazing..
do you guys like the orchestral (yellow shark et al) as well as the rock?
i dont know what i'd do without it quite frankly ha ha ...

was thinking of him recently as he did want to run for president..now that would have been a contest...
such a sad unneccesary death imho

has anyone read that book Negative dialectics of poodle play?
found a copy for dh once in book shop very interesting!

we saw the play Thingfish at BAC when i was pregnant, they wanted to take it to the west end but i guess it never made it..
it was fantastic btw original costumes etc..

Reading back I am equally impressed with SheikYerbouti. Imagine being brought up on FZ!

Mind you my dc should have more that a passing knowledge of FZ and Beefheart. I play it quite a bit in the car.

tsar
the concert was good dont get me wrong but it all felt wrong something missing () i think they are planning to do it again but albert hall is shite venue imh venue o....

dh got me into mr z and i loved beefheart from early age ... young boyfriend and i used to constantly play moonbeams and candle mambo ...
my sister had electic music tastes and that helped

i love live music and last gig was the fall
do you like them?

i gotta duck out for a bit
my daily chi gung exercises! a la nursery time or i dont feel right!

crikey getting old and need to look after me bod
i guess i am much older than you guys...

40
top that!

its a number n i dont care

duck duck goose!

sheikyerbouti..where are YOU???

are you a nighttime lightweight? am just a 10 minutes here and there fliptop gal...

Yay! I'll join! Was a big fan in my youth, although have to admit to only putting the albums on once in a blue moon now Do you think my babbies would enjoy a bit of Yellow Shark today?

Aura! The Fall . That's it....I'm moving in with you. I love the Fall! I saw them play about 1986 at Southampton University.

Don't get to see many live bands these days more's the pity.

I must admit I have a special liking for FZ's humorous songs. 'Have I Offended Someone?' is a great compilation (I don't play much of that to the dc btw!)

Beefheart is such an interesting man. Have you ever heard John Peel (another sad loss way too soon ) talk about him? JP was of course a huge fan of all this. I miss him.

doooreen... don't make me wait til tomorrow ...

oohh no ple ee ee eease doreeen, let me love you tonight.... and it'll be alright...

love zappa, my dad was a big fan. we played 'what's new in baltimore' at his funeral. vicar was bemused to say the least

ooh me too. his songs do stick don't they, i often have one burbling around in the back of my mind. camarillo brillo today. my hair is a bit like that.

best love song ever?

I can top you Aura. I'm 43.

Great link JogsaLot. I'm playing it now

I'm enjoying this little gathering of like minded musical mnetters. Subjects like this don't come up much at the school gate. Musically the only thing I hear people talk about these days is the Xfactor . Now there's a thing I would like to have heard Frank's views on .

WOW more zappa fans

My dad isa hardcore Zappa fan. He won;t listen to owt else now, bless him. He is in his 60s now, and has has his mind addled by the substances he took in his youtrh, so can be a bit bizarre. We used to have the Grateful Daed, The Doors and Jefferson Aiplane in the house when I was growing up, as well, of course, as Frank

Anyway, what's your fave album? Mine is probably Overnite Sensation. Esp Zomby Woof

"I AM THE ZOMBY WOOOOF, I'M THE CREATUIRE ALL YOU LADIES BEEN TALKING ABOYUT" I like to sing that in the car

I did a music degree and got into all of his orchestral stuff when I was there. I had a tutor who diod a lot of arranging of Frank stuff. We pleyed Dog Breath Variations once [so cool it hurts]

oh yes overnite sensation is my tippytip favourite. i wish i had it still.

Fave album? Hmmm ... >

I went for years listening to nothing but Zappa.

My DD usually will not tolerate any music in the car, and bothers you until you change it, but the other I had on The Black Page and I think she was so gobsmacked by it she didn't say a word

ahhh, the Black page

Fucking amazing

yellow snow

them or us which includes this
