Cuneiform Records just announced "Pronounced Booed Dee-un : Churches : Live Boud Deun at Orion April 5, 1997" by Boud Deun
THE ALMOST THREE - IT'S JUST MUSIC
- The Almost Three: It’s Just Music
(2020, cd, Germany, pottpeople)
(2020, lp, Germany, pottpeople)
The Almost Three is familiar with Frank Zappa's output as they already covered a Zappa tune or two.
"It's Just Music, their 2020 album, included a track entitled 'Zoppo', of which I assume that it's a nice nod to FZ.
Not necessarily musically, just the title.
Out on LP and on CD.

BSQRD
BSQRD released a Frank Zappa tribute on her "Yesterday's Tomorrow" album.
From 2013 !
Growing up, our father would make my brothers and I mixed CDs of all my dad's favorite music from the 70s. Every CD he made us had to have Frank Zappa's Mudshark on it, because the Secret Word for tonight is Mudshark!
The track is called 'Secret Word (Tribute To Frank Zappa)' and it samples Frank Zappa.
THE MAN FROM UTOPIA
Nothing can beat Tanino Liberatore's artwork for Frank Zappa's "The Man From Utopia" album, but this Rick Griffin comic book from 1972 (from the comixjoint archives) would also have been nice :-)

"ZAPPA AND ME" MOVIE UPDATE
.jpg)
It's one of the most iconic portraits in rock'n roll.
Our film tells that story and the story of Robert Davidson, the photographer who made the portrait.
We started the film back in 2019 and we're hoping to complete it this year with your help and support.
Kickstarter Campaign Launch
Our campaign has been 'approved' and we are now making some final tweaks before a prelaunch.
However, with the football World Cup on, followed by the holidays, we think it is wise (based on some reading and advice) to launch the campaign in September, when we will not be competing for oxygen with the footie.
We plan to use this time to build our network of supporters.
For the Kickstarter to be a success, so that we stand a chance of being able to complete this film, need to grow our project supporter base, so please share the film's webpage with friends and help us spread the word on social media!

Seeking Executive Producers
While we wait for the launch of the Kickstarter, we're not planning to lounge about. We're aiming to shoot several key interviews over the summer with Pauline Butcher (Zappa's PA), Chris Welch (Melody Make Journalist) and Piers Secunda (Tony Secunda' son) as well as lining up several other contributors (names to be announced soon!). We also have a filming trip to the Zappanale festival in July planned.
To do all this though, we do need to secure some extra funding. So we are looking for people to invest in the project early and come on board as Executive Producers.
There will be an Executive Producer reward offer in the Kickstarter campaign, but that will not come with the possibility of a share in the film's profits.
Executive Producers who would like to come on board early will be offered a share in film profits, IMDB credits, invitations to the cast and crew screening in London and a bundle of other goodies including signed movies posters etc.
Drop us a line if you can help!
Newsletter Bonus
As a bonus for our newsletter crew, we're really please to share this little snippet from an interview with Candy Zappa (Frank's sister) by Tom Spence on the KVTA Morning Show in California earlier this week. Candy speaks about Zappa and Me.
