No. I'm sorry, but no. Are you assuming I don't know my onions? I do. I can be tested. As Derek Bailey once said, "nothing is crapper than Frank Zappa". It's just the worst music, really it is.

Gaargh. I feel ill just thinking about it.

Beefheart, yes.

What? No... really? I can't stand Zappa. I don't like 'funny' music. I don't like 'ironic' music. Sorry, it's just the way I am. Half man half biscuit, yes. Zappa, no. Just... no. No. It's all I can bring myself to say.

It's not humour though. It's the worst kind of parasitical pseud bollocks I can think of. Ironic kids humour. It's really, really poor. Honestly, I don't get it at all. It's just really, really bad.

I should stop posting. Sorry people, there are very few musicians who irritate me more than Zappa. Crap crap crap.

Ivor Cutlor - now, there's a man who could deliver a joke. Seek him out.

Ah. Now this is pretty spot on. I think Zappa is, clearly, very talented. But, for me, anyone who feels the need to take the piss out of other genres is lacking in imagination of their own. See also 'ironic' ska-punk covers of pop songs. The pop songs are always better, every single time. It just seems like the kid in class who just takes the piss out of everything, and then one day everyone realises that he doesn't actually have anything to contribute, and everyone ends up hating him.

The music is entirely contingent to one appreciation of music, ie, that which is 'opposed' to so-called saccharine 'pop'. The problem is, as any classics student will tell you, any parody only serves to strengthen the greatness of the original. Insofar as you give air-time to a 'parody', you are thereby measured, after the 'joke' has disappeared, next to the (always better and broader) corpus of the parodied. There is room for humour in music, it's entirely necessary. But that humour cannot be in opposition to other things, it must be funny in and of itself in order to cast itself free from its own critique.

Again, I really should stop.

While humor is an incredibly important thing for certain types of music to survive,i totally think that it is wrong when it becomes the main attraction to the music itself.It works only when not the artist nor the music want to be taken seriously,yes,but the same can't be said for Zappa himself.Really,some artists you wonder why they bothered and how they survived with such a one trick pony of a half idea.To conclude:
Humor and music=fine
Comedy and music=Not fine

True, the later chessy stuff can get on my nerves, but the early stuff through the mid seventies is really funny because it's so insane and dead on satire of all the hippies. It's not all "comedy music"...there is some really great stuff there.


I'll love everybody!
I'll the love the cops as they kick the shit out of me on the streets


All I want to know is where's the beer and when do we get paid!!


 

How could one not love Jimmy Carl Black???
