THE ZAPPANALE REPORT - PART 5

For me, the latest edition of Zappanale lasted five days. I arrived on Wednesday (the 17th), and went back home on Monday morning (the 22nd).
As always, Zappanale is quite an absorbing experience. I can tell you a bit about what I did and what I saw and heard, but that's only a part of the story.
Zappanale is like being on another planet, but it's also like coming home.
So many likeminded people and so much great music...
So here's part 5 of this year's Zappanale tale.
Wednesday had been a fine start. I had already seen some friends, and I had enjoyed Chris Opperman's concert a lot. So I was ready for Thursday.
After a Zappateers breakfast downtown Bad Doberan, and checking out the camping site and putting up the Zappateers tent, I returned to the little village for a visit of the Zappanale Expo. I had already given it a look on Wednesday, but I wanted to give it all a closer examination.
This year, Dieter Jakob had gathered works from Cal Schenkel, Carlos Zerpa, Lothar Taube, and Helmut King. A pretty impressive line-up.

Entering the expo hall, the immediate eye-catcher was Cal Schenkel's series of Zappa & Beefheart album covers: a beautifulseries of 7 giclée prints.
The hall on the right had some fine pieces by Helmut King, including a Beefheart tribute.
Here are some pictures of the Helmut King artworks (pics by Steffen Schindler).

The room on the left had works by Carlos Zerpa, and by Lothar Taube. I wan't impressed by Lothar Taube's work, but Zerpa's pieces were excellent.

Here are some shorts of Lothar Taube's work (again by Steffen Schindler):

And here are some pictures of Carlos Zerpa's work. I like this. Great size (they were huge), great colours and alienating subjects. I like this a lot. (thanks for the pictures, Steffen !!)

LAZULI - REPONSE INCONGRUE A L'INELUCTABLE

• lazuli: réponse incongrue à l'inéluctable
  (2009, cd, fr, eclats - bzz033)

Here's another fine album by Lazuli. (You should be able to tell by now that I was really impressed by the Lazuli concert at Zappanale.)
"Réponse Incongrue à l'Inéluctable" got released in 2009 and it was the band's fourth release.
The title might be translated into something like "a inapropriate (or bizarre) response to the inevitable" and it fits the package. One of the most impressive pieces on this disc is "On Nous Ment Comme On Respire" (They Lie To Us Like They Breathe) about global warming, pollution and G8. And it's not just a strong message, the song is very powerful as well: a great rock song with eastern influences, samples and a children choir.
Actually, the entire album is very good. I've been giving it a couple of spins that last couple of days, and it asks for more.

Here's 'On Nous Ment', Live in Montreux, from a little while ago.

DEVIN FLYNN AND GARY PANTER - DEVIN AND GARY GO OUTSIDE

• devin flynn and gary panter: devin and gary go outside
  (2009, cd, usa, fypc99)

Mini-album by Devin Flynn and Gary Panter. The album featues Gary Panter on guitar and vocals and Devin Flynn on bass, keys and percussion.

It's sounds like a psychedelic hobby or project, but that doesn't mean that I don't like it.

And during 'Behind The Sunglass' the theme of Zappa's 'Take Your Clothes Off' is quoted. Reason enough to check it out.
