Ed Palermo on arranging Frnk Zpp for big band

Zappa and Jazz

I don’t consider my Zappa project any kind of crusade or following any trend for that matter. It’s just music I love. I’m often asked if the jazz community will ever embrace Zappa’s music. I have no idea. I don’t even really care. Maybe that’s a selfish point of view, but life is short. Why waste time worrying about such stuff. Zappa himself said before he died that he didn’t care how he was remembered or even IF he was remembered. Eventually, I and my band will stop doing this Zappa project and go back to my original material, once again happily outnumbering the audience.

The way Barry sees it...

The Year of the Freak is Immiment

Oh yes it is. Let’s see which sites, bands and organisations have had legal action taken against them by the ZFT in recent weeks, shall we?

* Us here at KUR (non-profit fan site)
* Ugly Radio Rebellion (non-profit tribute band)
* Project/Object (non-profit tribute band)
* Bogus Pomp (non-profit tribute band)
* Sheik Yerbouti (non-profit tribute band)
* Zappanale Festival (non-profit Zpp festival)
* Arf Society (non-profit fan site)

Quoth The Idiot Bastard:

Apparently Gail has even threatened to remove and destroy the likeness of FZ that is in Bad Doberan – “Yes, we would definitely consider having it replaced with something we do approve,” she said.

I know you’re getting sick and tired of this dear reader — so am I.

That’s the point.

Spread the word if you can, by any means.

A permanent page, objectively documenting the progression of any of these Law Suits is in the works, and will be published as more information becomes publicly available.

Update: had to add tribute band Ugly Radio Rebellion to the list as they too are now being sued by the ZFT for alleged copyright infringement.

Carry on, Barry. Don't let the tone-deaf Zappa™ Family Trust kill the music.

Widow's Revenge

Gail and the Zappa™ Family Trust continue their charm offensive.

Which bands, organisations and websites have heard from Gail Zappa's lawyers?

* the Arf-Society
* the Zappanale Festival
* Bogus Pomp
* Project/Object
* www.killuglyradio.com
* Sheik Yerbouti
* all of these

Way to honor Frank's legacy and keep the music alive. I'm still waiting for my cease-and-desist order.

Gail has messed by mind up

The good folks at Kill Ugly Radio received a cease-and-desist order from the Zappa™ Family Trust's lawyers.

To have transcriptions on our website of long-out-of-print magazine interviews with FZ™, which took me many late hours to type out and at times translate? Dude!

To present snippets of FZ™ lyrics on our website which showcase his incredible sense for Conceptual Continuity? What were we thinking!

To have artwork of FZ™ releases up on our discography section, so that readers would know what their next purchase at Barfko Swill could be? Not done, period!

All kidding aside: we believe the material posted on this website would fall well within the definitions of “fair use” in the event of a lawsuit. However, we simply lack the financial means to fund such a lawsuit.

Drop by their blog and show them some love.

Scumbag business

D & J Roofing
CT Lic. #616385
(203) 506-5731

They went onto private property, opened my mailbox and put their flyer in without mailing it.

Mailable matter not bearing postage found in or on private mail receptacles represents a revenue deficiency to the Postal Service and is a violation of federal law. Title 18 United States Code, section 1725, provides for a fine of not more than $300 per piece for these violations. All employees must uniformly enforce the procedures detailed in the Domestic Mail Manual, section P011.2.0. The failure to enforce these procedures uniformly may jeopardize the criminal prosecution of repeated violators.

If they can't even advertise without breaking the law, I wouldn't want them working on my roof.

Agro River Parking: service with a snarl

I pulled into the lot of the convenience store & office plaza on River Street in Milford. I know there's a back part where people pay to park for the train station, but I was in the front near the businesses. The guy from Agro River Parking comes over and tells me it's $7 to park or I get towed.

That's fine if I were parking all day, but $7 for 10 minutes is not reasonable. After he explained it the first time and I was already going back to my car, he kept repeating himself. What a dick. I got the point the first time. Seven bucks to park.

I wonder if Mr. King-of-the-Lot hassles everyone who tries to park there, or just the ones who get near his outpost.

Hotel Owners and Sheriff Warn of Disturbing New Trend

VESTAL, New York - The Broome County Sheriff's office and a local association of Hotel Owners are working together to combat a new trend in vandalism. "Raging"--a trend among young concert-goers who follow jam bands--has gotten out of control and is threatening the livelihood of hotel owners across the country. The Binghamton Lodging Association and the Broome County Sheriff's office have started a joint initiative to combat the hazard.

"Today marks a new day in commercial lodging security. No longer will hard-working operators be threatened and shut down by rowdy customers," said Deputy Sheriff Bill Wickman.

Vijay Balasubramanian has owned the Motel 6 on Old Route 17 for eight years. He has come to dread the times when touring bands pass through the area. He paused from buffing the floor in his lobby to say, "When I first come to America, they told me to watch out for the rock bands. There is never a problem with the bands, except when Dave Matthews parked his tour bus in my lot and emptied his toilet tank in the storm drain. It is the young customers who are trouble. All night they are raging and hanging off the balcony like a train in India."

Hotel operators are now collecting a "damage deposit" in advance, a practice which has upset some concert-goers. Chad Willis IV, who prefers to be called "The Rev," complained bitterly about the new practice: "They be profilin' us. I mean, can't we all just unzz out together?"

But hoteliers like Balasubramanian are unsympathetic. "I have been lucky, but my cousin Venkat had big problems. These ragers drove a Chevy Caprice into his lobby. Every time there is a concert, one kid tries to pay for his room in molly. This is not a bazaar, it is a legitimate business."

Worm Town needs your help!

I'm passing this message on from the woman who ran the Worm Town Kids Tent at the Gathering of the Vibes. She lost almost everything in Seaside Park and needs your help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday when we packed up the Kids Tent...

We all worked extremely long hours, and put sooo much time and effort into this years Vibes Kids Zone. We had workshops on all days, (4 on Saturday), the Parade, Andy the Music Man was awesome, the volunteers were incredible, face painters were nuts, the Teen Scene was outta sight. It was BY FAR the best we've ever done with just under 500 children, and I felt most triumphant.

Everything was packed and separated: Bins going to Bisco and bins to store for WormFest.

On Monday afternoon, I had to get my vehicle to the garage before closing and I left the Kids Tent stuff unattended at 1pm waiting to be packed into the Penske. Sometime between 3pm & 4pm, ALL of the Kids Tent bins had been completely riffled through and mostly stolen.

They took all of the equipment, lights, cords, tools, spray paint. They demolished our Boo-Boo Station with diapers, wipes, sanitizer, sun block and bug spray. They stole all of our art kits, beads, staplers, scissors and glue...everything. Except for the bag of stuffed animals, and the bins of old busted up toys. They left all the big Plastic motor toys, board games, and bins of paper.

It was my fault for not having stayed with the stuff knowing the Park was then open to the public. With 3 kids in tow , a poorly running set of wheels and an exhausted crew, I told myself it would be fine, for an hour or two.

When I got to Bisco and saw what was left of the Kids Tent that has taken me 6 years to collect, after yelling and swearing my head off, I cried my eyes out. I felt completely defeated.


So, I come to you, Vibe Tribe. If anyone has any donations they can kick out to the Kids Tent at WormFest next month, we would be eternally grateful!

Saturday night backstage. Janet met Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay.

The festival is about as packed as you could imagine. Everybody is piled in for Ratdog. Les Claypool is on stage now, playing his bass-banjo and wearing a pig mask.

Blogging of the Vibes

We're in the middle of the second day of the Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport's Seaside Park. Railroad Earth is playing right now, sounding good on Radio Vibes. It's been a lot of work setting up this broadcast, but we've been on the air since yesterday morning. Working with Tiger Rose has been fun. We are in a production tent behind the stage with our own plasma screen to watch the video feed. It was sweltering in there yesterday, but today it was a great place to stay out of the rain. I'm home now, warm and dry.

Wavy Gravy summed it up best this afternoon: "There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing."

Almost everybody is having a good time, although I'm sure you could find a few complainers in the crowd. U-Melt played a great set to kick things off yesterday, and Dark Star Orchestra with Donna Jean sitting in was amazing.

You can hear most of the festival on WPKN all weekend.

Oh yes, the Bridgeport police ride around on Segways.
UPDATE: (7/28/08) I'm not sure why this page is getting so many visits, but I guess it's because we're so close to the Vibes. There's coverage on the Radio Vibes on WPKN blog, and personal observations here on this blog.

An epic beatdown

When the win probability flatlines that early in the game, when you lose by 9 runs in a four-hit shutout...that's an epic beatdown.

The rectal-cranial inversion

Tonight on WPKN:

• Report on "a major protest in Washington, D.C. on the 40th anniversary of Israel's illegal military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem."

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for this report. Is it going to be from Phyllis Bennis? Leslie Cagan? Mazin Qumsiyeh?

Remember, you're welcome to reply to whatever is said.

WPKN's open format allows for many views and opinions, but the views and opinions expressed are those of the person expressing them, not of WPKN itself. We welcome your responses. If you would like to reply, please call the General Manager weekdays at (203) 331-9756, or email wpkn@wpkn.org.

There's a report of the event at The Age of Hooper, including the inspiring and thought-provoking picture above. There are more photos and video here. This Ain't Hell has more. Atlas Shrugs has more video.

UPDATE: The interview wasn't with any of the A-listers I'd hoped for. It was with Omar Masri from the End The Occupation organization.

All Hail Chavez

Told you so. He's a thug, no better than the Soviets or the ChiComs.

Gateway Pundit has a compendium of links to the crackdown.

It's such a shame we live in the fascist United Snakes of Amerikkka instead of Hugo's Bolivarean paradise.
