MIKE KENEALLY'S "IT MUST BE THIS TALL" RELEASED ON BANDCAMP
Mike Keneally is making his (out-of-print) "It Must Be This Tall" album available on Bandcamp.
With bonus material !
Mike added:
You Must Be This Tall from 2013 is probably one of the less-discussed titles in my album catalogue, but I think it’s really nifty.
I’ve been thinking more about this album since the BFD gigs at the Baked Potato a few weeks ago, during which the song “Cornbread Crumb” was featured pretty heavily (as it will be again at our upcoming gigs at Alvas). The album is an eclectic collection of mostly instrumental material (although there are four vocal tracks, including “The Rider” which is one of my most classic-rock-type tunes), largely played by me, and I think it makes for a very involving listen.
The CD has been out of print for a while, so when Scott Chatfield proposed it as the newest addition to our Bandcamp roster for this week’s Bandcamp Friday, I metaphorically leapt to my feet, and literally said “yes!” with great enthusiasm.
Fortifying this Bandcamp release is the addition of three bonus tracks: “Pitch Pipe (Vocal Version)” (which is completely bonkers), “The Upkeep of My Volcano” (a radical reinvention of the song “Kidzapunk”), and “Popes Instrumental Mix” (which is just groovy as heck). Plus some additional artwork and promo ephemera which come to you alongside the complete original artwork in digital format. It’s a neat package of neat stuff.
Just in case you never got this album when it first came out, this might be a nice opportunity for you to invite it into your life. And even if you do have it already, perhaps the bonus enticements will, er, entice you.

THE FURIOUS BONGOS - THE ROAD TO HALLOWEEN 2023 VOL. 1
Released on the first of March & compiled from recordings the band made during their 2023 Halloween tour !
A tour that featured former Zappa drummer Chad Wackerman, by the way.
I saw the band live twice last year as they performed both at the Zappanale pre-party and at the actual festival and they are as good as it gets.
Check them out and support them as it might convince them to release a Volume 2.
JOHN TRUBEE - SATAN KILLED ME TODAY
- john trubee and the ugly janitors of america: satan killed me today
(2022, cd, UK, cordelia)
A bit over a year ago, the Cordelia record label released "Satan Killed Me Today" by John Trubee And The Ugly Janitors Of America.
Actually, the CD presents two albums: "The Deserts Of Eternity" (recorded in 2022), and "Satan Killed Me Today" (from 2004/2005).

I've always been a fan of John Trubee. I like his attitude, his lyrics, his songs and his guitar playing.
John music is very recognizable. Although I can't put my finger on it, it has a very distinct sound and it's something that I like a lot.
Add his Ugly Janitors Of America band and the beautiful voice of Laurie Amat and you get a excellent album.

I was interviewed by Steffen Schindler on Rockradio.de this morning about my ever increasing albums with Cordelia Records, and also Festival Moo-ah.Stevie dedicated a track from the new ZappaRap album to our dear departed friend, Dave ❤️
If you missed it, you can 'listen again' - without the music - here:
FRANK ZAPPA - LIVE ON AIR - THE EARLY YEARS
- frank zappa : live on air - the early years
(2017, 4cd, europs, laser media)
The funny thing is that you can come across these radio show albums everywhere as they are not illegal;
But there's loads of them and they offer the same material so it's quite difficult to keep them apart...
But there's loads of them and they offer the same material so it's quite difficult to keep them apart...
"Live On Air - The Early Years" got released in 2017. I may have come across this one previously on occasion, but as I only recently updated my radio show album list, I only bought it a couple of weeks ago.
Two shows. Four discs.
- 1974/11/23 East Lansing, MI
- 1978/09/21 Poughkeepsie, NY
According to the setlists that are on Zappateers, the latter has the tracks in the wrong order.
Oh well...
