What will be the track order on the MM release?

Congratulations!

In this clip, the scene that begins at 2:07. The setup is that the Jeff Daniels character has a parakeet, and gangsters (don't ask why) want to retaliate against him. But really, you have to see the whole movie to get the flavor of it: You Tube

His head fell off... he was pretty old.

Nah...if it ain't lower-case Helvetica, it just ain't ECM. Has anyone else seen this? Great documentary:

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought you meant "Stupidest Comedy Movie Ever" in a good sense. For example, Dumb And Dumber is one of my favorite movies. Perhaps the problem with this Adam Sandler movie is it wasn't stupid enough.

Zappa wasn't a racist - just look at his bands (and that was long before it was hip to have integrated rock bands). That doesn't mean he wasn't a major asshole.

Yah, once the hero worship wore off, I saw more of the man behind the curtain... On the other hand, if the material remained strong in the late '70's & '80's, the hero worship may have continued.

For me, Hot Rats, Uncle Meat, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Weasels, Absolutely Free (for nostalgia's sake; I was 12 when I first bought it), and Fillmore East (absolutely brilliant satire). If you want to narrow it down to one or two, Hot Rats and Uncle Meat. Thanks. What about the other live one -- band from LA or somesuch? Just Another Band From L.A....Billy The Mountain (Side One) is EPIC. I'm sure Side Two was good, but frankly, I can no longer remember it. My reaction's the opposite: BTM tries to make some sort of point, but comes off as scattershot satire. But side 2 has a lot of energy and plays really well...a killer Call Any Vegetable into Eddie Are You Kidding (wonderful Flo & Eddie on this one) into Magdalena (lyrics not for the squeamish, however) ending with some powerful Dog Breath. I didn't recommend JABFLA because many people consider the Flo & Eddie band to be low-level satire and sex jokes. Of the two albums in this batch (3 if you include Chunga's Revenge), I think Fillmore's the strongest and most consistent. My guess is that JABFLA might not have been released if it wasn't that Zappa needed money to pay medical bills following his fall. I'll be curious about Chunga, because the original LP sounded very muffled; I wonder if they'll be able to improve it.

For me, Hot Rats, Uncle Meat, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Weasels, Absolutely Free (for nostalgia's sake; I was 12 when I first bought it), and Fillmore East (absolutely brilliant satire). If you want to narrow it down to one or two, Hot Rats and Uncle Meat.

My copy arrived in the mail today. Nice presentation - the 7 individual discs in a sturdy cardboard box. My copy is 132/500.

I played this:

Hi Lon. Can you clarify what problems on Native Dancer were corrected for this new remaster? Thanks. John Vancouver BC Previous thread

Still "temporarily backordered"! Order date was April 13!

Last Chance, actually.

Lucille has already messed my mind up...I don't need Gail to complete the process.

Will these be the original recordings, or the '80's remixes?

http://www.macworld.com/article/1162103/samsung_announces_new_optical_drive_with_wi_fi_connectivity.html Yeah, I bought it when the price came down considerably. Thanks! I see it's available through Amazon, though the user reviews are underwhelming. But this is the right idea.

I know this is off-topic, but is there a similar device to watch DVDs on an iPad?

To my mind, he was everything a reviewer should be: lucid, opinionated, comprehensive, with a great knowledge of his subject, and a great word stylist. He contributed a lot to my knowledge of cinema, and will be missed. RIP.

Also available through Amazon.

Thanks, sonnymax!

Thanks, Jim. I mailed you a check recently that got bounced back; I now know why. Please PM me with your address. Thanks for keeping this board alive and well!

I saw Joe once at Zuni, not sure exactly when but early in that decade; a guitarist friend brought me there. Tight quarters, but we dug the music. I also like Overtones with his old man - it's interesting to compare their two styles.
