Lumpy Money Review

I got my copy of Lumpy Money earlier this week. Not a bad offering from the Evil Empire (aka the Zappa Family Trust).

The gems of this set are the orchestral Lumpy Money and "How did That Get in Here?", the extended piece which opens disc 3. I could do without Disc 2 however. It includes an unreleased mix of Lumpy Gravy from 1984 which includes the obligatory 80's drums and bass and the out of print but cheaply found remix of We're Only In It For the Money from the original Ryko issue of the CD. Maybe it will grow on me. The WOIIFTM does have better sound than the old disc so........we'll see. It's not horrible, it just isn't as good as the original. Also, included is a mono mix of WOIIFTM. I like it. Some people think mono sucks. I am not one of them.

The packaging is kind of cheap but unlike the Mofo Project set the package does not turn into a disc eater. I pray to Satan every time I try to remove a disc from the jaws of the Mofo set. Overall, I give the release a Pitchfork style rating of 8.2.

Life Sex & Death. An early 90's metal band who's schtick was having a homeless person named Stanley as the lead singer. Sure, Stanley was a bogus gimmick but he was a good front man and the band could rock. We saw these guys at the Phantasy Theater in Cleveland. Stanley may not have been a real homeless dude but he was still pretty gross.

Thanks to the guy who requested Metal Church. That song was a blast from the past to the old Z Rock days. To those who don't know, Z Rock was a syndicated metal station out of Dallas. We got it for a year or so in Cleveland in the mid-80's. It was tits. I don't know if I had heard that song more than one or two times since 1986 but I knew every word.

Comp is temporarily fucked

Need a new power cord (again). Will update with my playlist from the last show when I get a chance.

P.S. Igor, you bastard!

Radio Show Tonight

Heading out to Bozeman later to do the show. Probably going to play something off this....



One of the best rock albums of all time. Before they added the infernal "Railroad" to the name. Kicks ass all the way through.

If you are up for listening go to www.kglt.net and click on streaming audio. Soothing Soul Suckers will be on at 9 p.m. Mountain time until midnight. I'm digging through my personal vault so I've got a bunch of stuff I haven't heard in a while on tap.

Bob Dylan Isis Live 1975

The definitive version of Bob Dylan's "Isis" performed on the Rolling Thunder Revue. It makes the album version sound dead in comparison.

Ooo Hoo It's Halloween

Corpse Paint. Fucking ridiculous. This picture was taken by Peter Beste and is included in his coffee table book (ha ha ha wtf!) True Norwegian Black Metal. This picture cracks me up. The look on that woman's face is priceless. What an idiot that guy is. I think he is from the band Gorgoroth. They are cool and all but the schlock value is high with that stupid look.

If i'm going to be digging some corpse paint it's going to be this guy. King Motherfucking Diamond. I like black metal but blow me grim Norwegian douchebags.
