DARKO THE SUPER - EVERYTHING IS DARKO - THE MIXTAPE

Darko The Super's latest release has a couple of Frank Zappa references in the lyrics.

In 'Liquid Swords'

I’m like Van Gogh’s ear, plus the one from Blue Velvet
Seldom seen in public, too hell bent on the outcome
Of wild rhymes and loud drums
Conceptual albums I write on the daily
Feet don’t fail me
Frank Zappa Wowee Zowee
Holy cannolis and homemade raviolis

In 'Raspy Shit'

My name featured on the marquee
Next to Frank Zappa and Biz Markie
E-40 and Skateboard P
Kurt Cobain, Ghostface in Clark Wallabies

Out on Bandcamp.

GOOD TIGER - WE WILL ALL BE GONE

• Good Tiger: We Will All Be Gone
      (2018, cd, USA, metal blade records)

I don't remember when or why I bought Good Tiger's "We Will All Be Gone"...
Maybe I received it as a gift?
It's been on my desk for quite a while and I've listened to it a couple of times already.

Anyway, I'm very pleased with this second release by London-based progressive rock band Good Tiger. Dynamic music. Heavy, complex rhythmic structures, and great vocals.

To date, the band has released four album. "We Will Be Gone" was their second album, released in 2018.

Check them out.
"We Will All Be Gone" got released on CD and on LP, and it's also available as a digital download / streaming album.

NEW ALBUM BY GARY LUCAS

Gary Lucas teamed up with Lukas Ligeti to record a new album: "Omnidirectional".

Bandcamp / Cuneiform digital download / streaming only, as far as I can tell.

ZAPPALOUS

I assume the name of the band is Zappalous, or maybe Tokyo Zappalous.
Here's their December 6, 2025 concert

MEAT LOAF - HANG COOL TEDDY BEAR
