ZAPPA ON SKY ARTS TV IN DECEMBER

In a couple of weeks, the Roundhouse (London, UK) will host a 3-day Zappa festival.
November 5 -> 7, that is.
The Roundhouse newsletter mentions this, of course, but also adds info on a Sky Arts tv-special...

"Celebrate the life and music of Frank Zappa at our three-day festival that includes Zappa Plays Zappa and The Mighty Boosh Band all in association with our media partner, Sky Arts, giving you exclusive behind the scenes access to the festival. Look out for the documentary showing on Sky Arts 1 HD and at sky.com/arts this December. "

R.I.P. ART JARVINEN

Musician and composer Art Jarvinen died earlier this month.

He was in an early incarnation of John Trubee's The Ugly Janitors Of America, was part of the E.A.R. ensemble, and also used to be a music copyist for Frank Zappa.

ANT-BEE / BILLY JAMES UPDATE

The new Ant-Bee (Billy James) "Electronic Church Muzik" album will be released on Barking Moondog Records USA in late November.
Word has it that the artwork and graphics will be done by Cal Schenkel, and that the recordings feature various Zappa & Beefheart alumni.

To be quite honest, I've heard the demo, and it's GREAT !!!
