The creative Naald&Draad (needle & thread) team that has material available on the Rosa Ensemble, got access to the banner that was used to promote the 2 day Zappa/Beefheart festival in Antwerp in 2019, featuring Hans Dagelet with the Rosa Ensemble (performing Beefheart), and Sinnister Sister (performing Zappa).
Naald&Draad transformed the banner into bags / handbags.
How's that for recycling?
The entire 1996 Paris concert by Magma can be found on YouTube.

It looks like the beautiful "Frank Zappa - The Nordic Stories" book is getting another reprint.
This will make it its third edition.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE: The book is sold out everywhere in Norway. However we are considering printing a third edition in a limited of 100 copies. I have done some changes and improvements. There will be some new pictures and I am considering some new anecdotes that has come lately. However I can take pre-order and if there is enough interest I will print. If not you'll get your money back.
I'm still waiting on an approval by Amazon to publish the paperback black & white version of the third volume of The Others Of Invention.
The Amazon / KDP automated control system checks that the page number starts with 1.
This is not the case as the page numbers continue from the previous volumes.
It's even an essential part as volume 3 has indexes of the musicians and of the FZ compositions for the three volumes.
As a result I had to contact them and ask for a manual approval. Still waiting for a response.
The strange part is that I did not have this issue with Volume 2, with page numbers 447-868.
It should get resolved soon.
Anyway, the luxurious full-colour hardback does not suffer from this discussion and delay and is available as from today !!

Yesterday, Solidude Records hosted a 'Record Label Night'.
If you're a bit familiar with the Belgian contemporary jazz scene, you'll probably know all about Solidude Records.
The 'Record Label Night" streamed performances H.A.S.T., Bestiaal, Skordatura (with Jozef Dumoulin & Michel Massot), and Mäâk.
The stream will remain available today and tomorrow (21h00 Belgian time).
Amazing.
Must-see.

Robby Krieger feat Arthur Barrow, Sal Marquez, Joel Taylor and others.
French experimental rock band Raoul Petite took its name from a dialogue from Frank Zappa's "200 Motels" where someone mentioned 'road fatigue'. It was understood as 'raoul petite' by members of the band...
Anyway, Raoul Petite is influenced quite a lot by FZ and by the early Mothers music
Their 1995 release, "Têt de Krän", includes 'Mister Z', their tribute to FZ.
Guitar-led instrumental surf band The Honkeys released their version of Frank Zappa's 'Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance' on their "Tequila Mockingbird" album.
From 2002.
