http://megaupload.com/?d=H5XBHB0H = The REAL Frank Zappa Book! Inspiring, funny, scary, brilliant, frustrating, ridiculous man! Random quote: "The most important thing in art is the Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively -- because, without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins. You have to put a 'box' around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall? If John Cage, for instance, says, "I'm putting a contact microphone on my throat, and I'm going to drink carrot juice, and that's my composition," then his gurgling qualifies as his composition because he put a frame around it and said so. "Take it or leave it, I now will this to be music." After that it's a matter of taste. Without the frame-as-announced, it's a guy swallowing carrot juice".............. dead-on!

no. They both
really hated each other at this point and it shows through. No energy at all.. there's a few cool songs but it doesn't reach the insane brilliance of shiny beast, doc at the radar station, and ice cream for crow, which would come shortly after this.
edit: okay, Supercreep said basically the same thing
