Friday the 13th of August, Ben Watson hosted a Quiz at Zappanale.
A right answer got you a token.
The winners had to turn up on Sunday to collect their prizes.
Ob's recording of the prize-giving event on Sunday is being seeded at Zappateers.

All the winners had to read some of Ben's unique poetry before they could claim their prizes. So as well as introductions, you get to hear a few zappateers reading some Watsonian Poetry.
Fun.

Released in 2002 in a longbox with three CDs: a 2 CD set with recordings from the "One Nite Alone..." tour, plus a CD that offers some aftershow material.
Jazz, funk and aftershow jams... what else do you need?
Beautiful stuff.

SUN RA ON RE:SOUNDS RADIO SHOW
Episode 122 of the "Re:Sounds" radio show focused on Nick Drake and on Sun Ra:
This hour: two amazing musicians explored through the portal of two amazing documentaries.
Three Records from Sundown
by Charles Maynes (Podstantsiya, FNR, 2009)
British singer/songwriter Nick Drake was just 26 when he died from an overdose of anti-depressants. He'd recorded three albums over the course of his lifetime, none of which sold very well, and he died in relative obscurity. But fast forward forty years and Nick Drake has been resurrected. He's now largely thought of as one of the most influential artists of his time and he's sold far more records than he ever did when he was living.
The Other Worlds of Sun Ra
by Brent Clough and John Jacobs (The Night Air, ABC, 2009)
The name Sun Ra is synonymous with far out philosophies, experimental music, great talent, and cosmic costumes. From big band and bee bop to avant garde and disco (with stops everywhere in between) Sun Ra was a musician of great breadth as well as a bandleader, keyboardist, visionary, philosopher, and entertainer extraordinaire.

PRINCE - INDIGO NIGHTS
- prince: indigo nights
(2008, cd, usa, npg records)
A couple of years ago, Prince released the "21 Nights" photobook, about his 2007 London concert series. With the book, comes a bonus CD. It's a live album, compromising songs that were performed at the various afterpartys at the IndigO2 night club.
If you shop around a bit, you can get this big, hardcover book, with the bonus CD, for a very interesting price. I got mine a couple of weeks ago.
Excellent.
-- thanks to Harald for pointing this one out to me
