Got a new review up on Glide.
Go read it C'here!!
It is of Frank Zappa's newest DVD release The Torture Never Stops.
Zappa is a strange artist in anyone's book, but I will explain my feelings on him. Unlike most acts that I would say I "like" I never need to hear Zappa for years at a time. Then I will find myself, listening only to him for about 2 weeks solid. Perhaps it is because of the tangled web of a world he created (placing himself firmly in the center) but it seems like there are times when I don't need to mess with him and limited others when I can't enough. Not sure why or if others feel the same way.
Any-which-way, I own Baby Snakes but this new DVD is a nice addition to the collection as it is a solid show of crazy segues and top notch playing, no crazy 45 minute forays into stop motion clay-mation. If it weren't for the stupid fucking pyscho edit that shows up from time to time there would be few negatives to bring about this one. I do feel it does a neat trick of being accessible for new fans and appeasing old die-hards too which is much harder then it sounds.
Coincidentally Zappa would have been 70 years old today...so happy whatever goatee'd one, Here are some clips...enjoy:
