	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:18 hey ngh, congrats, sent you an email
	9:24pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:23 got it, domo arigato gasaimasute!
	9:25pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Bells of Rhymney" by "Jake Xerxes Fussell" Huh, Jake?! Never mind. You have the time. I have other real worries..
	♥ 9:25pm JReganK: ↳ Song: "Bells of Rhymney" by "Jake Xerxes Fussell" Guess someone had to try this one in a different musical genre, at some point.
	♥ 9:27pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:19 I saw Robin Hitchcock do a solo set at Ameoba Records in Hollywood. Before Covid, they had free shows every week. All that came to a grinding halt, then the store moved to a new location and I've never been back.
	♥ 9:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Clatskanie" by "Michael Hurley" Mmm… fish and pie.
	9:30pm cookiejarvis: ain't got no t-bone, got mashed potato
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:27 was on 14th street when jonathan demme filmed him in a storefront, watched a little of it... mid 90's
	♥ 9:30pm JReganK: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:27 Saw him at the City Winery before the lockdowns. A rather tall fellow
	♥ 9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:27 Of course - Sir Robyn's surreal verbal raps twixt songs are worth admission alone.
	♥ 9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:30 'Storefront Hitchcock'. Now - where the hell is this film - ?? I know it exists - but never seen it shown any damn place @ all.
	♥ 9:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:33 I Want To Be An Anglepoise Lamp is in a box at my feet.
	♥ 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:35 ...of course...
	♥ 9:37pm JohnEBGood: Thanks for the Zappa Jesse : )
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:30 what i saw was mostly machinations setting up cameras etc. not much in the way of music i just saw some icon for it on a streaming service maybe amazon, lemmee check...
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: @franco: it is on prime for 3.99
	♥ 9:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "GTR Trio" by "Frank Zappa" ...blame it on the Zappa Nova ...1965 no less...
	♥ 9:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "I'm So Happy I Could Cry" by "Frank Zappa and The... Viva Ray Collins!
	9:42pm Mike W.: Never had this song make me think he was about to break into “Interplanet Janet” before
	♥ 9:42pm Mi-rgod: Who cares if you're so poor you can't afford to buy a pair of modern go-go stretch elastic pants?
	♥ 9:42pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "I'm So Happy I Could Cry" by "Frank Zappa and The... now I get where "Joe's Garage" came from
	9:43pm estebangrande: ↳ Song: "It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal" by "Frank Zappa" such a great album Joe Mulligan!!!
	♥ 9:46pm joe mulligan: ↳ estebangrande @9:43 I think you introduced me to that album Esteban!
	♥ 9:46pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal" by "Frank Zappa" I saw this band of Mothers at the Hollywood Bowl in 1972. Sneaky Pete on pedal steel.
	♥ 9:47pm dj jj.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:46 did sneaky pete play in the live band?
	9:47pm estebangrande: ↳ joe mulligan @9:46 i wuz playin joe's garage to all my victims. great to see you here
	♥ 9:47pm Franco Twinkie: No.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal" by "Frank Zappa" this is not the zappa i'm familiar with and dig it
	♥ 9:47pm JohnEBGood: Wow :))))
	9:48pm estebangrande: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:47 what really gets me is the orchestral jazz. a must listen for me
	9:49pm asheville jon: Geez, 30 years sine Frank's been gone, wow
	9:49pm asheville jon: *since
	9:50pm cookiejarvis: ↳ asheville jon @9:49 I remember hearing about it, probably reading it off the AP wire, in the newsroom of my college paper.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ estebangrande @9:48 tbh never gravitated toward zappa so i don't know much, but like this bec ause it is less strident than what i know
	♥ 9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...guess '200 Motels' was out late 1971 ...yerknow, always loved Zappa - but wouldn't volunteer to write you a timeline...
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "While You Were Out" by "Frank Zappa" i think this is what i'm liking
	♥ 9:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:51 ...as per album title Shut Up & Play Gittar...
	♥ 9:53pm ironybread: Aw, hi Jess. Luv ya.
	♥ 9:53pm JohnEBGood: This is tremendous DJ Jesse. Thanks
	9:54pm axlotl: What's the ugliest part of your body?
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:53 ha!
	♥ 9:55pm joe mulligan: ↳ asheville jon @9:49 wow is right, Dec 4th 1993
	♥ 9:55pm drew: You scared me! I heard all of this and at first I thought Frank Zappa died.
	♥ 9:55pm ironybread: I found the original "Mount St. Mary's" tape in an archive in Malibu and gave a copy to the Zappa archive, but frankly they weren't too excited about it
	9:56pm Michael Enn: I was singing this and then turned on FMU and it was in - odd odds
	♥ 9:56pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): really dug this opening set, jesse, esp the zappa wrap-up. i'm off to bed and will catch the rest on the rewind.
	9:56pm cookiejarvis: ↳ drew @9:55 the present day composer refuses to die!
	♥ 9:56pm joe mulligan: ↳ drew @9:55 haha! anytime there are three or more songs by an artist on wfmu..
	♥ 9:57pm Asheville Jon: Loved the Zappa, thanks!
	♥ 9:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah. I didn't feel I'd miss Zappa's Music - as there was already far more than would fit into my head. But - I knew I'd miss his Voice - & what he had to say about everything. He was one of those you paid attention to like that. You could forget that by now...
	♥ 9:58pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "What's the Ugliest Part of Your Body? (Reprise)" ... This takes me back to 1969. Some bikers who lives down the street had a GMC panel truck with an Ampex four track. They would throw the doors open and we would listen to this over and over again.
	♥ 10:02pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "What's the Ugliest Part of Your Body? (Reprise)" ... You are so right Jesse. Lots of people in 'those parts' look down their noses at Zappa. Us kiddies on the East side of L.A. loved him. He spoke our language.
	♥ 10:04pm ironybread: hiya Franco
	♥ 10:04pm JohnEBGood: Chuck, : ) .........
	♥ 10:05pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ ironybread @10:04 Hey irony! Bruce and I had breakfast at The Lost Parrot today.
	♥ 10:06pm ironybread: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:05 aw, I hope our Mr. Litz is all right, haven't heard from him in a long time
	♥ 10:07pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Nebula Zero" by "Spa Water" Adjustable kitten
	10:07pm Roberto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:02 No one can deny he was a visionary. His compositions always seemed to be at least a half-step ahead of the next cultural trend.
	♥ 10:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ ironybread @10:06 We are both free floating radicals.
	♥ 10:08pm ironybread: Earth is just a deadbeat
	10:08pm Matty fromBrooklyn: The looping on this is beautiful
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: in an interview jimmy carl black says something to the effect that as good as zappa was he couldn't hold a candle to beefheart, this may have been in a beefheart doc...ha!
	♥ 10:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 Having seen both of them play with different bands, I can say that's a coconuts and fried chicken comment.
	10:12pm estebangrande: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 maybe in terms of cult leader/mind control
	♥ 10:13pm JohnEBGood: Go Go Go Little Queenie!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:12 u huh
	♥ 10:18pm ironybread: OH HOLY COW THERE'S A NEW ARTO LINDSAY. I am all over that sucka
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ estebangrande @10:12 didn't zappa apparently do a little mind control on beefheart ie...ashtray heart, like i said i don't know much from zappa, but find his creativity 'within the box' and beefheart more 'outside the box'
	10:18pm Matty from Brooklyn: Thank you so much. I have to get up early; this has been a great, "go to bed" set.
	♥ 10:18pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 I will say this, a girl in my drawing class and I saw the premier of the Bongo Fury band at Harvey Mudd College in Clairmont in 1975. Don and Frank were on good terms that night and it was whacky to the power of ten.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:18 you have the best anecdotes...
	10:20pm Carmichael: Heya Jesse and evening people.
	♥ 10:26pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:19 Coconuts and ryebread: Same girl - Mary Ann Shiltz and I saw The Legion of Mary, Jerry Garcia's band at The Fox Venice a couple of months later. That was fun for teens back then.
	10:28pm estebangrande: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:18 i'm fuzzy on details, but remember reading a large zappa biography. indicated fz was sometimes lending a hand to beefheart productions. fz was a manipulator of his own bands, but i read that beefheart was some kind of psychotic, insisting the band live together and i think he was like starving them and dealing out psychological abuse to them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:26 fabulous.... out there havin' fun in the warm california sun...(even though it was probably at night)
	10:31pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:07 In retrospect, that comment sounds cheezy AF. I more or less stand by it, however.
	♥ 10:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ estebangrande @10:28 I met Don twice and he was very nice to me. But I too have heard the stories...
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ estebangrande @10:28 yes it looks like beefheart did do that to the band, i think there's zoot horn rollo's testimonial to that in a bio and i thing interviews online, name... john harkleroad
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:32 he was cordial and interesting when he appeared on letterman
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:35 a little off in his own world
	10:37pm estebangrande: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:32 very cool you met him twice. i really love the music of both but never saw either perform. it's also easy to sit back and talk shit about someone, especially once they're dead. i didn't mean to be that person
	♥ 10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems to me the Cult situation was limited to the Trout Mask production ? Not to be his apologist. Wrong is wrong however long & to whatever ends. @ the same time - given how extraordinary that work is - it isn't surprising its realization was equally different.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ estebangrande @10:28 and i think the band took the abuse because the results were 'magic'
	10:39pm estebangrande: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:38 magic indeed
	♥ 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ estebangrande @10:37 Mostly I keep my mouth shut talking about musicians and their music - unless I saw them perform. I'm a terrible critic and very emotional.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:38 right i remember they were all in same house for 'trout'
	10:41pm kev: I have this record it’s really good
	♥ 10:42pm steveo: ↳ Song: "The Last Time" by "Träd Gräs Och Stenar" I like this a lot. (Hello)
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm tom tom the pipers son: did see trad gras at tonic, most of band were in their 70's and they rocked, i think conceptually they placed psych rock as just another type of folk music, it felt that way
	10:45pm estebangrande: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:41 it's all good franco. everybody comes to music and context in different ways. it's the Deconstruction, ya know?
	10:46pm Gainstager Liquid: a musician who's technique is very innovative on the internet, but does not translate well live...
	♥ 10:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Frowed and proud!
	10:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:41 "mostly i keep my mouth shut..." what i have you done w/ our franco!
	♥ 10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Only as it pertains to music! Otherwise I NEVER shup my trap!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: discovering to wonders of wet heat for pulled muscles
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Improvisations For Thai Guitar & Time Lag Accumul... the word 'rhizome' comes to mind listening...
	11:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Improvisations For Thai Guitar & Time Lag Accumul... not to be confused w/ the band, terraplane... /this is tre nice!
	11:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Tavern (12/7/2005)" by "Greg Davis" holy jesus! i thought this was greg davis! (saw many times live 2002-2006)
	🎸 ♥ 11:39pm tom tom the pipers son: cool like this w/ whirr in background
	♥ 11:40pm Franco Twinkie: Goodnight everybody. These old folks need to hit the hay.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42pm tom tom the pipers son: g'nite franco...
	11:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:40 night old folks at home!
	11:55pm ?: damn good show tonight
	♥ 11:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Jesse Frow!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thank you jesse...nice closing tunes
	11:56pm northguineahills: thanks dj jj, and frowsketeers, have a great night!
	♥ 12:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJJJ ~
	7:31am TDK60: That Jake Xerxes Fussell version of "Bells of Rhymney" is absolute garbage.

	♥ 9:20pm prof.fuzz: evening y'all
	9:23pm northguineahills: @dj jj: discerning minds want to know, why didn't you credit rael onecloud and promote her cable access channel, postmortem espresso, as per richard wright (aka nancy) 😉
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:18 hey ngh, congrats, sent you an email

	9:25pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Bells of Rhymney" by "Jake Xerxes Fussell" Huh, Jake?! Never mind. You have the time. I have other real worries..
	♥ 9:25pm JReganK: ↳ Song: "Bells of Rhymney" by "Jake Xerxes Fussell" Guess someone had to try this one in a different musical genre, at some point.
	♥ 9:27pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:19 I saw Robin Hitchcock do a solo set at Ameoba Records in Hollywood. Before Covid, they had free shows every week. All that came to a grinding halt, then the store moved to a new location and I've never been back.
	♥ 9:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Clatskanie" by "Michael Hurley" Mmm… fish and pie.
	9:30pm cookiejarvis: ain't got no t-bone, got mashed potato
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:27 was on 14th street when jonathan demme filmed him in a storefront, watched a little of it... mid 90's
	♥ 9:30pm JReganK: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:27 Saw him at the City Winery before the lockdowns. A rather tall fellow
	♥ 9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:27 Of course - Sir Robyn's surreal verbal raps twixt songs are worth admission alone.
	♥ 9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:30 'Storefront Hitchcock'. Now - where the hell is this film - ?? I know it exists - but never seen it shown any damn place @ all.
	♥ 9:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:33 I Want To Be An Anglepoise Lamp is in a box at my feet.
	♥ 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:35 ...of course...
	♥ 9:37pm JohnEBGood: Thanks for the Zappa Jesse : )
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:30 what i saw was mostly machinations setting up cameras etc. not much in the way of music i just saw some icon for it on a streaming service maybe amazon, lemmee check...
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: @franco: it is on prime for 3.99
	♥ 9:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "GTR Trio" by "Frank Zappa" ...blame it on the Zappa Nova ...1965 no less...
	♥ 9:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "I'm So Happy I Could Cry" by "Frank Zappa and The... Viva Ray Collins!
	9:42pm Mike W.: Never had this song make me think he was about to break into “Interplanet Janet” before
	♥ 9:42pm Mi-rgod: Who cares if you're so poor you can't afford to buy a pair of modern go-go stretch elastic pants?
	♥ 9:42pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "I'm So Happy I Could Cry" by "Frank Zappa and The... now I get where "Joe's Garage" came from
	9:43pm estebangrande: ↳ Song: "It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal" by "Frank Zappa" such a great album Joe Mulligan!!!
	♥ 9:46pm joe mulligan: ↳ estebangrande @9:43 I think you introduced me to that album Esteban!
	♥ 9:46pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal" by "Frank Zappa" I saw this band of Mothers at the Hollywood Bowl in 1972. Sneaky Pete on pedal steel.
	♥ 9:47pm dj jj.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:46 did sneaky pete play in the live band?
	9:47pm estebangrande: ↳ joe mulligan @9:46 i wuz playin joe's garage to all my victims. great to see you here
	♥ 9:47pm Franco Twinkie: No.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal" by "Frank Zappa" this is not the zappa i'm familiar with and dig it
	♥ 9:47pm JohnEBGood: Wow :))))
	9:48pm estebangrande: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:47 what really gets me is the orchestral jazz. a must listen for me
	9:49pm asheville jon: Geez, 30 years sine Frank's been gone, wow
	9:49pm asheville jon: *since
	9:50pm cookiejarvis: ↳ asheville jon @9:49 I remember hearing about it, probably reading it off the AP wire, in the newsroom of my college paper.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ estebangrande @9:48 tbh never gravitated toward zappa so i don't know much, but like this bec ause it is less strident than what i know
	♥ 9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...guess '200 Motels' was out late 1971 ...yerknow, always loved Zappa - but wouldn't volunteer to write you a timeline...
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "While You Were Out" by "Frank Zappa" i think this is what i'm liking
	♥ 9:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:51 ...as per album title Shut Up & Play Gittar...
	♥ 9:53pm ironybread: Aw, hi Jess. Luv ya.
	♥ 9:53pm JohnEBGood: This is tremendous DJ Jesse. Thanks
	9:54pm axlotl: What's the ugliest part of your body?
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:53 ha!
	♥ 9:55pm joe mulligan: ↳ asheville jon @9:49 wow is right, Dec 4th 1993
	♥ 9:55pm drew: You scared me! I heard all of this and at first I thought Frank Zappa died.
	♥ 9:55pm ironybread: I found the original "Mount St. Mary's" tape in an archive in Malibu and gave a copy to the Zappa archive, but frankly they weren't too excited about it
	9:56pm Michael Enn: I was singing this and then turned on FMU and it was in - odd odds
	♥ 9:56pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): really dug this opening set, jesse, esp the zappa wrap-up. i'm off to bed and will catch the rest on the rewind.
	9:56pm cookiejarvis: ↳ drew @9:55 the present day composer refuses to die!
	♥ 9:56pm joe mulligan: ↳ drew @9:55 haha! anytime there are three or more songs by an artist on wfmu..
	♥ 9:57pm Asheville Jon: Loved the Zappa, thanks!
	♥ 9:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah. I didn't feel I'd miss Zappa's Music - as there was already far more than would fit into my head. But - I knew I'd miss his Voice - & what he had to say about everything. He was one of those you paid attention to like that. You could forget that by now...
	♥ 9:58pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "What's the Ugliest Part of Your Body? (Reprise)" ... This takes me back to 1969. Some bikers who lives down the street had a GMC panel truck with an Ampex four track. They would throw the doors open and we would listen to this over and over again.
	♥ 10:02pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "What's the Ugliest Part of Your Body? (Reprise)" ... You are so right Jesse. Lots of people in 'those parts' look down their noses at Zappa. Us kiddies on the East side of L.A. loved him. He spoke our language.
	♥ 10:04pm ironybread: hiya Franco
	♥ 10:04pm JohnEBGood: Chuck, : ) .........
	♥ 10:05pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ ironybread @10:04 Hey irony! Bruce and I had breakfast at The Lost Parrot today.
	♥ 10:06pm ironybread: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:05 aw, I hope our Mr. Litz is all right, haven't heard from him in a long time
	♥ 10:07pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Nebula Zero" by "Spa Water" Adjustable kitten
	10:07pm Roberto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:02 No one can deny he was a visionary. His compositions always seemed to be at least a half-step ahead of the next cultural trend.
	♥ 10:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ ironybread @10:06 We are both free floating radicals.
	♥ 10:08pm ironybread: Earth is just a deadbeat
	10:08pm Matty fromBrooklyn: The looping on this is beautiful
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: in an interview jimmy carl black says something to the effect that as good as zappa was he couldn't hold a candle to beefheart, this may have been in a beefheart doc...ha!
	♥ 10:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 Having seen both of them play with different bands, I can say that's a coconuts and fried chicken comment.
	10:12pm estebangrande: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 maybe in terms of cult leader/mind control
	♥ 10:13pm JohnEBGood: Go Go Go Little Queenie!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:12 u huh
	♥ 10:18pm ironybread: OH HOLY COW THERE'S A NEW ARTO LINDSAY. I am all over that sucka
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ estebangrande @10:12 didn't zappa apparently do a little mind control on beefheart ie...ashtray heart, like i said i don't know much from zappa, but find his creativity 'within the box' and beefheart more 'outside the box'
	10:18pm Matty from Brooklyn: Thank you so much. I have to get up early; this has been a great, "go to bed" set.
	♥ 10:18pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 I will say this, a girl in my drawing class and I saw the premier of the Bongo Fury band at Harvey Mudd College in Clairmont in 1975. Don and Frank were on good terms that night and it was whacky to the power of ten.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:18 you have the best anecdotes...
	10:20pm Carmichael: Heya Jesse and evening people.
	♥ 10:26pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:19 Coconuts and ryebread: Same girl - Mary Ann Shiltz and I saw The Legion of Mary, Jerry Garcia's band at The Fox Venice a couple of months later. That was fun for teens back then.
	10:28pm estebangrande: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:18 i'm fuzzy on details, but remember reading a large zappa biography. indicated fz was sometimes lending a hand to beefheart productions. fz was a manipulator of his own bands, but i read that beefheart was some kind of psychotic, insisting the band live together and i think he was like starving them and dealing out psychological abuse to them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:26 fabulous.... out there havin' fun in the warm california sun...(even though it was probably at night)
	10:31pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:07 In retrospect, that comment sounds cheezy AF. I more or less stand by it, however.
	♥ 10:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ estebangrande @10:28 I met Don twice and he was very nice to me. But I too have heard the stories...
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ estebangrande @10:28 yes it looks like beefheart did do that to the band, i think there's zoot horn rollo's testimonial to that in a bio and i thing interviews online, name... john harkleroad
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:32 he was cordial and interesting when he appeared on letterman
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:35 a little off in his own world
	10:37pm estebangrande: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:32 very cool you met him twice. i really love the music of both but never saw either perform. it's also easy to sit back and talk shit about someone, especially once they're dead. i didn't mean to be that person
	♥ 10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems to me the Cult situation was limited to the Trout Mask production ? Not to be his apologist. Wrong is wrong however long & to whatever ends. @ the same time - given how extraordinary that work is - it isn't surprising its realization was equally different.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ estebangrande @10:28 and i think the band took the abuse because the results were 'magic'
	10:39pm estebangrande: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:38 magic indeed
	♥ 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ estebangrande @10:37 Mostly I keep my mouth shut talking about musicians and their music - unless I saw them perform. I'm a terrible critic and very emotional.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:38 right i remember they were all in same house for 'trout'
	10:41pm kev: I have this record it’s really good
	♥ 10:42pm steveo: ↳ Song: "The Last Time" by "Träd Gräs Och Stenar" I like this a lot. (Hello)
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm tom tom the pipers son: did see trad gras at tonic, most of band were in their 70's and they rocked, i think conceptually they placed psych rock as just another type of folk music, it felt that way
	10:45pm estebangrande: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:41 it's all good franco. everybody comes to music and context in different ways. it's the Deconstruction, ya know?
	10:46pm Gainstager Liquid: a musician who's technique is very innovative on the internet, but does not translate well live...
	♥ 10:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Frowed and proud!
	10:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:41 "mostly i keep my mouth shut..." what i have you done w/ our franco!
	♥ 10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Only as it pertains to music! Otherwise I NEVER shup my trap!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: discovering to wonders of wet heat for pulled muscles
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Improvisations For Thai Guitar & Time Lag Accumul... the word 'rhizome' comes to mind listening...
	11:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Improvisations For Thai Guitar & Time Lag Accumul... not to be confused w/ the band, terraplane... /this is tre nice!
	11:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Tavern (12/7/2005)" by "Greg Davis" holy jesus! i thought this was greg davis! (saw many times live 2002-2006)
	🎸 ♥ 11:39pm tom tom the pipers son: cool like this w/ whirr in background
	♥ 11:40pm Franco Twinkie: Goodnight everybody. These old folks need to hit the hay.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42pm tom tom the pipers son: g'nite franco...
	11:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:40 night old folks at home!
	11:55pm ?: damn good show tonight
	♥ 11:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Jesse Frow!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thank you jesse...nice closing tunes
	11:56pm northguineahills: thanks dj jj, and frowsketeers, have a great night!
	♥ 12:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJJJ ~
	7:31am TDK60: That Jake Xerxes Fussell version of "Bells of Rhymney" is absolute garbage.
