THE FZ AAA FNRAA AA BIRTHDAY BUNDLE 2010

The ZFT celbrated Frank Zappa's 70th anniversary with an iTunes release: The Frank Zappa AAA FNRAA AA Birthday Bundle 21 Dec 2010.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-frank-zappa-aaafnraaaa/id410582595

I think that it's a very fine little album: a great rap version of 'Willie The Pimp' by Ahmet Zappa and his posse, Ahmet's rendition of 'Bobby Brown', a bunch of FZ live tracks, 2 Zappa Plays Zappa tunes (that we already have, but they fit in fine), Macy Gray (!!) performing 'Your Mouth', singer/songwriter Holland with 'Take Your Clothes Off...', and 'Chloe and Robert Trujillo (of Metallica fame) doing 'The Torture Never Stops'.

Very nice.
