ZAPPATIKA'S ZAPPANALE CONCERT
Over at www.zappa.hu, an mp3 of the soundboard recording of the Zappatika Zappanale concert (2010/08/14) has been put on-line.
Go to the site; click and listen.
Special guest is Ike Willis.
Zappatika played a rather psychedelic Zappa set. A bit slow at moments as the the pauses between songs tended to be a bit too long.
Give it a listen.

UZ JSME DOMA - CAVES
- uz jsme doma: jeskyne / caves
(2010, cd, usa, cuneiform records rune 312)
The band was founded around 1985, but was considered illegel by the communist government, much like The Plastic People Of The Universe.
This ended in 1990 with the velvet revolution. From then on, the band was able to perform and started releasing records.
In 1995, the band backed The Residents for a series of 20 performances of the Freak Show theater piece in Prague.
And now, the Cuneiform record label is releasing Už Jsme Doma's latest album.
"Jeskyne", or "Cages", sounds great. The band succeeds in making a perfect mixture of progressive and experimental rock music.
The lyrics are in the Czech language, but the booklet presents an english translation.
Nice. Very nice.
An exceptional album in a beautiful package !
Recommended listening!

MARK BEYER
Mark Beyer is one of my favourite graphic artists. I saw his work the for the first time in Art Spiegelman's RAW magazine years and years ago, and I've been a fan ever since.
So imagine my surprise as I noticed that he had done the album cover of the recent Fat Worm Of Error album, "Broods".
Can't say a thing about the music, but the album cover sure looks great.

PRINCE IN CONCERT
Prince has announced a couple of new concert dates. One of them is in Antwerp, Belgium, which is really not that far from where I live.
My only problem is that I don't like big crowds too much, and I prefer to see and hear a musician in a smaller venue and not on a big screen that has been put above the stage...
Anyway, I do like the music that he makes. And besides buying the regular albums, I also download a concert from time to time.
Here's a couple of recordings that I enjoyed the last days:

Anyway, I do like the music that he makes. And besides buying the regular albums, I also download a concert from time to time.
Here's a couple of recordings that I enjoyed the last days:
- prince: le new morning
(2010, download, --, free boot generation fbg 32)
- prince: the bird rehearsal
(2010, download, --, free boot generation fbg 33)
- prince: days of soundboard
(2010, download, --, free boot generation fbg 34)
"Le New Morning" is a recording of 2010/07/23 concert in Paris. "The Bird Rehearsal" is what it says and dates from 1983 (!). And the last one, "Days Of Soundboard - Volume Two", presents excellent recordings from 2008 & 2009.
As you can see, these are the latest three releases on the FBG label: 32 up to 34.
Free Boot Generation is a label that offers free, downloadable copies of Prince recordings.
I've added tracklists & pictures to the Prince entry at United Mutations.
For the recordings, you'll have to go to the Forum of the Guitars101 website.
At the Forum, check out the Bootleg section.
Go for the lossless ones.
