  1. Due to a high volume of traffic and longer than average wait times,

    you have been placed in a temporary waiting room.

    If you continue to wait, you will be randomly placed in a queue to continue.

    You can also check back later when our site becomes available.

    Thank you for your patience.

  2. I use Primus and can get 500kb/s anytime of day with no download limit (I'm pulling down whole DVDs daily and I've never even got a warning...Duane's on my ISP too and downloading like mad).

    Both Bell and Rogers couldn't even come close when I had them.

    Also with Primus for home phone & unlimited internet I am paying 1/2 what I was with Bell for the same service a year ago.

  3. There's a new 40th anniversary release of "Lumpy Gravy/We're only in it for the Money" called simply "Lumpy Money". It's delayed but available for pre-order from zappa.com. These are probably the most psychedelic albums on earth.

    From Billboard:

    The Zappa Family Trust will kick off a comprehensive campaign to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Frank Zappa's albums next month. "Lumpy Money," a three-CD "audio documentary" due out Nov. 25, is the first offering in the series -- and, according to Zappa's widow Gail, the most unique.

    "These two records happen to be Frank's masterworks," Zappa tells Billboard.com, "so this is the most ambitious of all the (40th anniversary) projects. The challenge is how to educate the audience to understand what 'Lumpy Gravy' and 'We're Only in It for the Money' are, and what they're part of.

    "So in this particular case we have to be more about the process than the outtakes. You're going to be listening to how Frank worked, all the little developments of these pieces as opposed to just an outtake or another performance of that particular piece. You're going to hear how he got there from here."

    The "Lumpy Money" package will feature two separate mixes of each album, done by Frank himself. It will include feature the first official release of the instrumental, Igor Stravinsky-influenced orchestral "ballet" version of "Lumpy Gravy" that Zappa recorded in 1967 for Capitol Records but decided to revamp, adding rock musicians and eventually releasing it on MGM/Verve four months after "We're Only in it For the Money" in 1968. Gail Zappa says a "sister" project will be released shortly after "Lumpy Money" that will contain more music from those sessions.
