THE RESIDENTS - GINGERBREAD MAN

the residents: gingerbread man
(2021, lp, uk, cherry red)

Originally released on CD in 1994, The Residents' "Gingerbread Man" has been made available on LP by Cherry Red last month.

The music is fantastic and the artwork fits the content.

Love it.

European freaks might need to be reminded that Cherry Red operates from the UK, which is no longer part of the EU.
In my case, Belgian melomaniac, that implied that I had to pay an additional 36.63 euro (taxes and custom fee), while the actual order, LP & CD plus postage, was 30 euro.
Mind you, this will even get worse starting on July 1 when

1) there will no longer be an exception for package with a value below 22 euro

2) the customers fee will increase...

Nevertheless, an amazing album.

THE RESIDENTS - GINGERBREAD MAN PRESERVED

the residents: gingerbread man preserved
(2021, 3cd, uk, cherry red)

The Preserved edition of The Residents' 1994 "Gingerbread Man" album counts 3 discs.
Next to the (amazing) original album, the set presents live performances of "Gingerbread Man" pieces, "The Fat Boy" tape that eventually evolved into "Gingerbread Man" and "Hunters", instrumental versions, material from "Hunters", and the "Prelude To The Teds'.

Voices for the characters were provided by not only The Residents, but also Laurie Amat (The Weaver), Diana Alden (The Confused Transsexual), Molly Harvey (The Old Woman), Isabelle Barbier, and Todd Rundgren (The Sold Out Artist, The Ascentic, and The Aging Musician).

Amazing.

DWEEZIL ZAPPA RELEASED "CUP OF JOE" MINI ALBUM

(2021, download, usa, reward music platform)

The last couple of months, Dweezil made quite a number of podcasts on the subject of the late Edward Van Halen, called "Runnin' With The Dweezil". It featured Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Nuno Bettencourt, to name just three.

A couple of days ago, Dweezil started releasing music again.
"Cup Of Joe" is a Mini Concert series that uses the Zappa Plays Zappa concerts as a source of material.

YOUR OLD DROOG

Your Old Droog has sampled (or referred to) Frank Zappa's music on several of his albums.

Listening to his 2019 album (that includes a Frank Zappa reference and a Wild Man Fischer sample), I was browsing the internet and stumbled on YOD's "It Wasn't Even Close" album.
Also from 2019.

Look at the album artwork and check out the poster on the wall !!

STEVEN DELANNOYE'S NEW YORK TRIO + FRANK VAGANEE - HERE COMES TOMORROW

steven delannoye's new york trio + frank vaganée: here comes tomorrow
(2014, cd, bel, werf records)

In 2009, after having finished his conservatory studies, Steven Delannoy received a scholarship to continue his study at the Manhattan School Of Music.
It was in New York that Steven met bass player Desmond White and drummer Jesse Simpson, with whom he formed the Steven Delannoy Trio.
They toured extensively and invited fellow saxophone player Frank Vaganée for a number of concerts, resulting in the "Uptown" album.
In 2013, they recorded "Here Comes The Tomorrow", a beautiful and energetic album.
All original tunes.

MANUEL DE LA FUENTE - FRANK ZAPPA - LA MÚSICA SE RESISTE A MORIR

manuel de la fuente: frank zappa - la música se resiste a morir
(2021, book, spain, alianza editorial)

Manuel de la Fuente is professor Audo-Visual Communication at the Valencia university.
His "Frank Zappa - Music refuses to die" got released by the Alianza publishing house about a week ago.
In 2014, Manuel did the translation for the Spanish version of The Real Frank Zappa Book. In 2016, he translated Pauline Butcher's book.

"Frank Zappa - La Música Se Resiste A Morir", 492 pages.

Based on interviews with his collaborators and the consultation of thousands of documents in US collections, this unauthorized biography (the first on Frank Zappa in Spanish) offers a non-judgmental portrait of the iconoclastic musician and his time. In its pages we witness the echoes of the artistic avant-gardes, the influence of Zappa in the activist counterculture, the gestation and development of his abundant work, as well as his confrontations with record companies and puritan organizations. A landscape where the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix coexist with Edgard Varèse and Pierre Boulez, observed with the incomparable sarcasm of a unique artist, whose legacy offers us infinite keys to understand our present.
