    thanks again, UG. A lot of fun as usual. Note the ‘L’ Histoire du Soldat’ quote at the beginning of ‘Regyptian Strut’ (which is itself pretty wonderful, BTW)

    Another fine selection – thank you!!

    Is it me or does anybody else hear a similiarity at 07:44 of Pojama People and Captain Beefheart’s Full Moon, Hot Sun from his Unconditionally Guaranteed album?

    Indeed, I do, Knirps. Then again, I’ve heard the similarities between Zappa and Beefheart for decades, as well as where they depart from one another musically and creatively. For the longest time I used to consider Beefheart the anti-Zappa, or was Zappa the anti-Beefheart? In any case, both are unique and distinct, and even when their music seems similar to each other, they arrive at that similarity from completely different starting points (and intents) – FZ, at least to me, is more orderly and self-controlled while Don Van Vliet is more anarchistic and playfully childlike in his compositions.

    Great tracks as always. Thanks, UrbanG. And always nice to see a show that I attended on the list (Oct 30, 1980 Blue Light).
