I figured that the content would be more of a turn off than the format.

I personally have a very hard time reading anything lengthy on a computer screen. I much prefer to read actual books.

I've started to read it, sort of interesting but it will take me a while and many breaks to finish it. Not sure why as I used to sit in front of a screen for hours at a time playing video games but just can't do it with long articles.

I'm surprised that Heaven & Hell have been confirmed because Ronnie James Dio was just diagnosed with stomach cancer 3 weeks ago.

Assume you have one of these iRae-dios, and you're driving down the highway, and end up behind a car with one of those fish-shaped metal-outline "Jesus" badges on the end flap of the trunk lid...what tunes would you spin up? If you had the iMicrophone attachement, what, if anything, would you say?

Aloha,

Frank Zappa - The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing

or

Frank Zappa - Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk

I've been meaning to ask about that.

Has anyone else noticed that the Lead Box ignore feature doesn't work anymore? Can we get that fixed?

Yes Velvet I've also noticed that the Lead Box doesn't seem to do anything anymore.

That is funny.

On another note did anyone check out the LAPD "iwatch" ad about half way down the page on the right. That's just plain scary, so much paranoia these days in the States from their own government. They are trying to get everyone to rat everyone else out under the guise of terrorist threat even if the other people aren't doing anything wrong.

I have no idea what she is trying to say. It seems like each paragraph is a vague outline for a seperate essay.

Frankly, I can't remember when I've read so many words that seemed to say so little. That said, I truly hope to be set straight and feel like a fool by missing the obvious astuteness of this piece.

No Velevet I think you got it about right.

In fact after reading that I now understand why the Zappa releases have been so sporadic, Gail just can't seem to stay on one topic long enough to finish it.

3) In some instances' date=' automotive airbags have killed people when they've deployed during an accident. Does anyone here consider having their airbags dismantled because of that risk? [/quote']

It always freaks me out when I'm a passenger on a road trip and I stare at the air bag hold and realize it can pop me in the face at any given moment.

Although I'm also usually pretty high.

It always amazes me how many passengers tempt fate by putting the feet up on the dash, so that if the airbag goes off the best case scenario will be both legs broken and worst is it could kill them.

the band is a really, really bad parody of what was one of the greatest rock bands ever.

I'll agree about that. This is not GNR, this is an Axl solo project. My GNR contains Slash, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin and Axl.

Personally I tried to listen to Chinese Democracy twice but couldn't even get all the way through either time.

i heard they implant a small microchip into your blood stream when they do mass inoculations. they can track your whereabouts and your thoughts.

They can't track me or read my thoughts while I have my tin foil hat on.

Just received this email from my internet provider.

Hello,

We need your help -- we need you to lend us your voice and state your

opinion on a recent CRTC decision that could allow the incumbent phone

companies (such as Bell and Telus) to discontinue offering services

(Internet and phone) to wholesale providers which in effect would eliminate

competition in Canada.

With no competition to help fuel the market; Internet innovation could come

to stand still and prices for broadband access could skyrocket out of

control. The incumbents would also be free to do with the lines as they

please. This would open up future privacy invading Deep Packet Inspection

(DPI) technologies and direct marketing/advertising based on *you* and *your

families* internet activities and habits.

They could also use this same technology to turn the Internet into a

pay-per-website service the same way that TV is a pay-per-channel service.

Can you imagine a world where you have to pay to use the Google website to

search for information? Then, if you find what you are looking for you may

be restricted to the content because your ISP doesn't have a "peering"

agreement with said company.

Please help us stop this major potential catastrophe.

I would be charging just as much as the market would bear for my product or service.

Yup' date=' and that's what they do.

So, in order to get them to even consider lowering any of their charges, people have to stop buying tickets from them. This won't happen on a big enough scale because people keep going.

That, and/or allowing for some competition in the industry. That'd spur on some competitive pricing for sure [/quote']

You can't expect people to stop buying tickets. If that was the case then not only ticketbastard would suffer but the bands themselves would also suffer, along with everyone else that makes money on concert sales.

You might actually put some bands right out of the business by doing that. Not talking Stones, U2 or the like but smaller bands that are barely scraping by or I would think even some medium sized bands that make a decent living but would be hurt if they went through the trouble of arranging a tour going out and nobody showed up.

The only way to solve this would be to level the playing field. In other words take away Ticketbastards monopoly and create competition like others have said. Take away their exclusive rights to sell tickets in most major venues in North America which is probably why no one else can compete as no one can get their foot in the door.

Myself I rarely buy from ticketbastard, in fact the last thing I remember buying from them was Cheech and Chong and that was because by that point Massey Hall didn't have anything available.

Last time I checked it cost you extra to print out your own tickets at home then to pick them up. Someone want to explain that one. You think they fees would be less by letting you print them yourself.

Deputies said Dale B. Fitzpatrick Jr., 45, of Strongsville, Ohio, was leaving the concert grounds on Route 26 Monday morning when he was pulled over for not wearing a seat belt at 11 a.m. Deputies said a search of Fitzpatrick’s vehicle turned up 18 tanks of nitrous oxide, more commonly known as laughing gas.

I will never understand how stupid some people can be. If I was transporting 18 tanks of nitrous I would make sure I had my seatbelt on, didn't speed and followed all the rules of the road to make sure I didn't get pulled over.

The Mono Mixes may be hard to find. I heard that they grossly underestimated the demand for them.

The Mono Boxset is NOT a limited edition like some people and websites are saying. Capitol has stated on record that they will be producing the Mono boxset until ALL the demand is filled.

It probably won't be in production anymore in 6-12 months but they will get it out to everyone that wants it before then.

Just for the record I recieved my Stereo version and just ordered the mono one.

I ordered my Stereo boxset just waiting for more Mono boxsets to become available and I'll pick one of those up as well.

To much music coming in lately as I should also be getting my 13th Floor Elevators 10 disc set this week from England. :content:

This is the best thing that Bob Seger ever did in his career.

Have they even released any of the others ZPZ shows from that tour like they promised yet? Or are they still mastering all of them?

I'm still waiting for the original Roxy DVD that the Zappa trust fund promised us a few years ago.

Rumour has it that it is coming. This could be a nice little "teaser" prior to the release of the footage of Frank's.

The trust fund keeps saying that but at this point it looks like it might be a couple more years away as they are complaining it is taking forever to sync up the audio and video properly.

Problem there is the people that are working on it are Dweezil and Joe Travers which are both members of ZPZ and when they are on the road nothing is getting done with new Frank Zappa releases.

I would rather have new Frank releases then his sons releases anyday of the week.

sometimes stupid people need to be protected from themselves.

This is why we as a species just keep getting stupider with every passing generation, we have done away with natural selection for people.

Thank goodness, I can really use that extra 18 inches.

I believe things such as iPods get lost and "fry" from time to time, so don't come crying to all your friends looking for free downloads when it happens. Keep the CDs. I have two friends that lost all their albums and now want a crack at my record collection. I told them to take a hike.

Well if your friends had some brains they would have kept a back-up hard-drive as we all know that they do fail over time. So make sure you back-up your whole collection if you take this route.

Roughly how many CDs can you fit on 1 TB in WAV format?

Wouldn't it be better to store your collection in FLAC format rather then WAV? You could get a bunch more discs onto the same hard-drive without loss of quality.

I bought a copy of this album and think that it is mediocre at best. I wouldn't recommend it personally, YMMV of course.
