For Doze Dat Slept
2008-05-30 02:03:00
This is for those of you who missed the --dv--l-ny Original Samples when it was posted all over the message boards and hip-hop sites a couple months ago. Most of these were taken down because someone claiming he's the artist in question sent a random message on Myspace and requested that the files be taken down. After scouring the web for a couple hours, I finally hit the jackpot with a Sharebee link on Google that was cleverly disguised as a random title. I am being vague about the actual artist, because I don't want these files to be removed right away. However, those of you who know what the artists look like will recognize them in the photo above.I'm not trying to go against the artist's wishes, but damn if these aren't the most obscure samples to ever be incorporated into a hip-hop record. Further, I don't believe that it was the artist who actually sent the message. It's probably just some disgruntled fan of his music who felt that posting these original sample sources...

Frank Zappa - Strictly Commercial: The Best of Frank Zappa [1995]
2008-05-09 04:44:00
For all of his many attributes, one thing Frank Zappa most certainly was not is commercial. Presumably, the title of this collection is ironic. Strictly Commercial: The Best of Frank Zappa is a compilation not of the composer’s hits — he only broke the Top 40 on one occasion, with "Valley Girl" — but ...
Afternoon Update - Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Frank Zappa, Brian May
2008-05-09 01:20:00
What do you get when you see Bruce Springsteen in a small theater? Last night he and the E-Street Band played a fund raiser at and for the Count Basie Theater in New Jersey and the lucky few who made it got to hear an all-70's show, including complete playings, in order, of both the Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town albums. They even got the Max Weinberg 7 horn section on a few songs in addition to the regular E-Street Band horns. Neil Diamond's "surprise" show at the Bitter End in New York last night was an obvious sellout with speakers being put in the windows so the unlucky fans could hear the show. The seven song set included three songs from his mid-60's days at Bang Records, three from the new album Home Before Dark and the classic Sweet Caroline. Diamond revealed to the crowd that he had played one of his selections, Kentucky Woman, on that very stage forty years ago.The set list:Solitary ManDon?t Go ThereHome Before DarkPretty Amazing GraceKentucky WomanCh...

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention: Freak Out
2008-03-23 16:59:00
Frank Vincent Zappa, conocido como Frank Zappa (Baltimore, 21 de diciembre de 1940 - Los Ángeles, 4 de diciembre de 1993) fue un compositor de música sinfónica y de cámara, músico de rock, cantante, guitarrista, y artista satírico estadounidense.Su padre, que había nacido en Sicilia, era químico y trabajaba cerca de la base Edwards de la Fuerza Aérea estadounidense, lugar dedicado en aquella época a la investigación en el campo de las armas químicas. Dada esa proximidad, tenía en su casa máscaras de gas, en caso de que hubiera algún accidente y es seguro que esto afectó enormemente al joven Frank: en su obra se encuentran varias referencias a gérmenes, guerra bacteriológica y otros aspectos de la industria militar secreta.La situación de Lancaster permitió a Frank acceder a la estimulante influencia de los sonidos (musicales y publicitarios) de las radios de Los Ángeles y zonas aledañas, y sus padres le compraron un tocadiscos, discos, un televisor e instrument...

Frank Zappa - Zappa/Wazoo
2007-12-28 23:42:00
The big brass band that Frank Zappa briefly took on the road in 1972, just before the release of his instrumental LP The Grand Wazoo, was an army of twenty out for serious business. “Nobody sings,” Zappa wrote at the time. “Nobody dances. They just play music.” They didn’t do it often enough. This two-CD ...
The Twisted, Progressive Guitar Work of Frank Zappa Live
2007-12-28 07:01:00
It was a good day yesterday, at least from a musical standpoint for me, as it certainly was a sad day from a world events view what with the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, (condolences to the entire nation of Pakistan and all those affected by the tragedy). I spent most of the day listening to Frank Zappa wail away on guitar… while working, but still a good time. It was probably myth and legend that first drew me to the music of Zappa, but after a bit of a grace period, I’ve really started to dig it, especially his guitar work. It’s been months since I first heard him play and there was an immediate impact, but I didn’t realize how much until just recently. Now I own a number of his albums and find that his guitar playing has had a huge impact on my own music. I’d best describe Zappa’s guitar style as beautifully fractured and progressive, but also extremely melodic. At times he’s very harmonically oriented, b...

Este disco tiene más forma de obra de teatro que de disco, algo que queda aclarado en el título. Joe's garage es una especie de West-side story del rock. En este disco la historia es contada como comic pornográfico. Frank Zappa logra caricaturizar las grandes amenazas de las sociedad norteamericana con una mirada profundamente crítica y con un música frenéticamente arreglada con un genio de dimensiones solo comparable al de pocos compositores contemporáneos.El humor dramtúrgico es un vieja herencia de los Mothers of invention y con foco porsupuesto escenico.En Joe's Garage Frank Zappa ha logrado una madurez que le permit...
In The Spotlight: Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention
2007-08-08 22:15:00
Rock’s closest thing to a true renaissance man, Frank Zappa was a brilliant guitarist, a superb composer, a matchless bandleader, and an incomparable social satirist. He started out in the ’60s as the leader of the zany avant-rock pioneers the Mothers. In 1966, when even the Doors and the Grateful Dead were still at a ...
Frank Zappa gets a street named after him
2007-08-04 04:21:00
Music News reports : AC/DC are not the only rock icons to be honored with their very own street. Add legendary musical mindbender Frank Zappa to that list. That's right. The city of Berlin have honored the late Zappa with his very own street in the eastern part of the city.Frank Zappa Strasse, formerly Street 13, lies in an industrial area in the eastern part of the city that was once behind the Iron Curtain. The street is home to Orwo Haus, a former Communist-era film factory that now provides practice studios for more than 160 bands, according to AP.

Berlin names street after Frank Zappa
2007-07-30 18:46:00
Berlin has named a street honoring Frank Zappa.Zappa's brother, Bobby Zappa, said the Grammy-winning rocker, who died in 1993, would have been pleased, in a letter of thanks.Frank-Zappa-Strasse or Frank Zappa Street ? formerly Street 13 ? lies on the eastern outskirts of Berlin amid empty industrial buildings in what was communist East Germany.The street is home to Orwo Haus, a former Communist-era film factory that now provides practice studios for more than 160 bands.Musicians at Orwo Haus campaigned for two years to have the street's name changed. Eighteen bands, including the Frank Zappa cover band Sheik Yerbouti, celebrated the renaming this weekend with an all-night concert for more than 2,800 people.The Orwo Haus association said it wanted Zappa's name for its street because "he was without taboo, musically versatile, provocative, and didn't allow himself to be captured by capitalistic enterprises.""I am absolutely certain that he would be very proud to have his name as a...
And speaking of guitars… Frank Zappa Straße in Berlin?
2007-07-29 21:54:00
My guitar wants to kill your mama. No, just kidding. That’s just an old Frank Zappa song. And now Berlin is honoring him by naming a street in Marzahn-Hellersdorf after him. They are going to call it: Frank Zappa Straße. Not necessarily for that song, but still. And whoever said that brown shoes don’t make it? He did, of course. And it kinda goes like this: Brown shoes don’t make it Brown shoes don’t make it Quit school, why fake it? Brown shoes don’t make it? TV dinner by the pool Watch your brother grow a beard Got another year of school You’re OK, he’s too weird Be a plumber He’s a bummer He’s a bummer every summer Be a loyal plastic robot For a world that doesn’t care Smile at every ugly Shine on your shoes and cut your hair Be a jerk and go to work Be a jerk and go to work Be a jerk and go to work Be a jerk and go to work Do your job, and do it right Life’s a ball!

Frank Zappa - Lather

Recorded at various times with a revolving cast of characters, the huge mass of material known as ‘Lather’ was to be released in the late ’70s when Zappa’s record company refused to put it out. Instead, they insisted that he owed them four individual records. So, the unflappable Zappa chopped ‘Lather’ into four sections (released ...

The lyrics take on everything from Christians to Jews, and from record company executives to feminists. While raising hackles was often the end result with the dropping of these numbers onto the cultural ...
