Listening to HiFi via WiFi on my LowFi IPhone. 1956’s future isn’t exactly what they expected.

Damn, I wish I had come up with that particular combo of words.
It does remind me a lot of the amazing artist Chassol and his "ultrascores". A couple of pieces to check out:

TY.
As a fan of Brian Eno's Ambient 1: Music for Airports - I really like this CD.

@Bix @codeWhisperer @InUnfunky @JerichoTaskerDeaux @UmbaSaffire

I have the Eno album too. On the road it is the inverse of Deep Purple’s Highway Star (live in Tokyo version).

The Guv is loyal the people that (checks notes) drink from "bubblers" and say things like "Yoopers." He's probably hanging out with Fred Upton today, maybe they'll tp Betsy's yachts.

@Bix @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @UmbaSaffire

Let's get back to fun things like FZ, lol.

What I (as the discerning FZ cultist I am, brushes lint, flips hair, chin up like a snob) have found since he croaked is that EVERYTHING MASTERED/EDITED/COLLATED AFTER HIS DEATH is just not the same. All things equal, he was a master at cut and paste and how his releases should sound. The new stuff ("Lumpy Gravy" edits or whatever is one exception) is good but...meh.

@Bix @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @UmbaSaffire

This is where an OCD completist type like Chef Cal doesn't understand my persnicketiness...some stuff I want, others not so much. Like when Cal got into Beefheart, he HAD TO HAVE IT ALL which isn't TOO much. I told him that was not the case with FZ but said problem hasn't stopped Cal from ransacking record stores from Dartmouth to Boston to Bah Hahbah looking for Zappa vinyl. Fucking weirdo. heh

@Bix @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @UmbaSaffire

Yeah, I took a pass on that. Since UMG bought EVERYTHING in the vault they're popping off left and right. (But thanks for breaking up the Lou bloc, heh! I need to hook you up with Chef Cal who was texting me last night with his latest Zappa vinyl; the same Cal who is HUGE Lou. You could say he is a Lou Stan he's so into that dude...and now FZ, which is just weird. Usually it's mutually exclusive.)

I am not talking about John Wesley again and you can't make me.

BTW does "Kayleigh" make you think of Kay Kay Mac, the pride of Plant City? 😎

If you saw this band in the 1980's, this is the track that was always better live - they got the party going with it.

CB / Soul Searchers were the most famous D.C. go-go band. But, Rare Essence might have been the best one.

This must be the band he had for the later live cds; horn section is giving me goosebumps...

@CanisPundit @Bix @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @UmbaSaffire

Ugh, thx to Canis I just watched some Deep Purple vids, was reminded that they recorded "Perfect Strangers" in VT. I thought it was a silly video in '84 -- look, they're playing soccer! Look, they're in a hot-air balloon! Look, they're trying not to kill each other! 🤓

@CanisPundit @Bix @JerichoTaskerDeaux @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire

Speaking of…we should solicit Bix’s opinion on the prog yacht rock shift; did it occur earlier than this? Or with this? 😏

@InUnfunky I tried, and my review follows: Make Sit Stop! Against Geneva Conventions, Ron DeSantis approved that to be played for detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
