CHARLIE BOSWELL & DWEEZIL ZAPPA

Check out new footage of Dweezil Zappa filmed on his current Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa tour playing a host of classic Frank Zappa songs!
As part of a new live DVD to be released next year, Charlie Boswell is directing, editing, producing, and shooting Dweezil on tour. As AMD’s Digital Media and Entertainment Director, Boswell’s team is also supplying Dweezil with the “Room Service Rig”, an AMD powered road recording setup to mix live Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa shows.

Here's a sample:

PENN JILLETTE?

I saw Penn Jillette on tv earlier today, on the Larry King TV show, commenting on president Obama receiving the Nobel price for peace.

Penn Jillette is many things, one of them being very linked to The Residents. (Did I already tell you that he plays the bass?)

SUN RA - DISCO 3000

Art Yard is re-releasing "Disco 3000".
This is a bit bizarre as they re-released this 1978 album with a lot of extra tracks as

• sun ra - john gilmore - luqman ali - michael ray - june tyson: the complete disco 3000 concert
  (2007, 2cd, uk, art yard 001)
  

in 2007.

This 'new' re-release is an exact copy of the original 1978 album. On one CD.

• sun ra: disco 3000
  (2009, cd, uk, art yard 101 cd)

SUN RA ON 180 G VINYL

I recently heard that a couple of Sun Ra vinyl albums got re-released on 180 g vinyl.

• sun ra & his myth science arkestra: angels and demons at play
  (2009, lp, usa, saturn 407hlp) - reissue on 180 g vinyl
• sun ra & his myth science arkestra: cosmic tones for mental therapy
  (2009, lp, usa, saturn 408hlp) - reissue on 180 g vinyl
• sun ra & his astro infinity arkestra: atlantis
  (2009, lp, usa, saturn 507hlp) - reissue on 180 g vinyl
• sun ra & his arkestra: bad and beautiful
  (2009, lp, usa, saturn 532hlp) - reissue on 180 g vinyl
• sun ra & his solar arkestra: art forms of dimensions tomorrow
  (2009, lp, usa, saturn 9956hlp) - reissue on 180 g vinyl

On the Saturn label??
Does anyone know more about this?

Thoughts on Money
Copyright 2009 John Trubee


The capital of the wealthy would not grow without the labor of the workers at their companies and the folks who consume the goods and services produced by the companies. If you impoverish the workers with low wages, no one will buy the goods and services that the companies owned by the wealthy produce, and all will suffer. It is a three legged stool--owners/Capitalists, workers, and consumers. Favoring one group over the others is like making a stool with one leg way longer than the others---it will not stand. Hence the near economic disaster last year.

As a worker I place great value on the time and energy in my life and what I produce with it--especially in my creative areas. Grand accumulations of money just are not very interesting to me, nor are those who amass it. Hungering over money is extremely common, thus it vulgarizes us all.

What we do after we get enough money to live decently is what makes people really interesting--or very boring. Do they buy toys, or help others, or produce art?

This is much more insightful and meaningful than the tiresome and vulgar accumulation of wealth.

The conflation of capital with virtue and integrity is a mythological construct which needs to be prodded, poked, and questioned.

Capital accrues in all sorts of ways that often have nothing to do with virtue, integrity, intelligence, and hard work.
