Tinkly piano.

Did we ever do Hot Rats?

I think I prefer the stuff he's laughing at for not being as clever as he is, than his stuff.

It'd be nice if he was able to pay tribute to the music he grew up listening to without parodying it so conspicuously.

Your dad's a heap?

More, choppy overcomplexities.

Probably Roy Collins.

Track 9 - Any Way the Wind Blows.

Zappa seems really intent on doing a sort of Chicano greaser impression on many of these songs.

Anyway The Wind Blows

Haven't we already had this one?

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat 1 Jun 2024 - 19:26

So the question is do we do all of this album 2nite? The second half is less 50s/60 pop songs.

by Nightjar Sat 1 Jun 2024 - 19:26

I guess you might call it surrealistic paintings set to music.

Not content to record just two sides of musical gibberish, the MOI devote four full sides to their type of "artistry".

If anyone owns this album, perhaps he can tell me what in hell is going on ... The Mothers of Invention, a talented but warped quintet, have fathered an album poetically entitled Freak Out, which could be the greatest stimulus to the aspirin industry since the income tax.
