No. Save your money

I relented.

I am a die hard, MW. Only a small handful of gaps in the collection. I’ve prolly got 115 out of 120.
I suppose this is more about ‘the collection’ than the music, but I saw the box in HMV and it looked and felt great. Fetishism at work! Bought from evil Bezos though. £40 cheaper.

Who’s for ‘Erie’?



I’ve been playing the Motels set in the car. It’s been a hoot. The dialogue stuff comes across more like a radio play, and as such, the imagination has to fill in the visual blanks (let’s face it, the visual in the film were pretty rubbish…).
I’m glad I got it.

The Erie set is about £107 on Amazon at the mo…

How's your Zappa knowledge?
Reckon you could do it as a subject on Mastermind?

Tonight's programme on BBC2 includes a contestant doing exactly that. It's on at 8pm (UK time), and is apparently a semi-final match.

I think the same link will allow you to watch the programme after it's been broadcast.

But it can't happen here....
Because the BBC Iplayer or whatever doesn't work in the US, and I have not been able to find this particular episode on Youtube, yet.
At, Luctor et Emergo! I really hope I can do the test. I once did extremely well on one of them. I seem to remember it was about The Clash.
