BROKKENAVOND IN AMSTERDAM
I've mentioned it before, but as it is happening tonight, I thought I'd mention it again.
Tonight at Zaal 100 in Amsterdam, Corrie van Binsbergen is hosting another Brokkenavond.
De BrokkenFabriek will be performing Corrie's 'Zoot-Suit', her hommage to FZ, and Darius Timmer's Stinkfoot band will be performing the music of FZ
Since the latest update, the line-up of Stinkfoot has slightly changed.
The band will consist of:
Darius Timmer: keys
Jelle Viser: guitar
Jur Vermijs: guitar
Morgan Knibbe: drums
Jasja Offermans: bass
Wouter Vroege: rumpet
Boyd Allen: vocals
I still haven't decided if I will be trying to atted these concerts. We're having a long weekend here in Belgium and in Holland, so tonight they're expecting traffic jams all over the place...
When there's no traffic, it takes me about one hour and a half to drive to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, there will be lots of traffic.
I remember being one hour late for a Residents gig once. Also in Amsterdam. When I finally got there, the band hadn't even arrived. They were also caught in traffic. Lucky me.
I also remember being blocked halfway when I wanted to go to the "Fathers Of Invention" concert years ago. Tickets on the back-seat, still 100 kilometers to go, not moving and knowing that the band (Metropole Orkest, Sinfonietta, ... don't remember) had already started. Eventually, I made a U-turn and drove back home. Not the happiest moment.
Haven't decided yet...

FZ'S LUMPY MONEY ON VINYL BOOTLEG
- frank zappa: lumpy money
(2009, 3lp-bootleg, ??, ??)
This comes as no surprise. The latest Zappa album has been bootlegged on vinyl.
It doesn't look bad if I may say so: 180 g vinyl, available in three colours (blue, black and yellow) - limited to 100 copies - and in black vinyl - limited to 200 copies.
Plus a booklet and two posters...
THE NASAL RETENTIVE ORCHESTRA
The Nasal Retentive Orchestra is no longer with us. The band seized to exist in 2008, but did leave an impressive batch of albums.
In case that you don't have them, you might like to know that these albums are still available through Christophe Delbrouck's website:

PROPER RECORDS
Last week, when I reviewed the new John French album, I messed up the link to Proper Records.

OCTAFISH - DOKTOR FLEISCH
- octafish: doktor fleisch
(2009, cd, ger, starpatrol spcd006)
Octafish has a new album out. You might consider this quite spectacular, as their previous album got released about 10 years ago.
"Doktor Fleisch" is the third Octafish album and it's absolutely great.
Doctor Meat is a supber mixture of contemporary angular rock rhythms, jazz noises, eastern influences, and something that one might label "instrumental zappa weirdness".
Good grief... This is good...
Think of The Muffins, The Wrong Object, Flat Earth Society, X-Legged Sally, ... and add a little extra spice.
"Land Unter" and "Hai Girls" were pretty impressive albums. "Doktor Fleisch" beats them.
It's the best album I've heard this year!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Track 5 is a Zappa tribute. It's called "Thxfz" and it's nice little guitar piece that has Heiner Willers (on guitar) toying with various Zappa quotes and licks.
The icing on the cake.
