Wow, I didn't realize they'd taken it down. The Zappa family are a bunch of bitches.

Did you watch that documentary I told you about? See what I mean about how Dweezil comes out looking a little... well, creepily obsessed with his dad's stuff?

Hi Trey,
What Zappa documentary is that?
I'd like to check it out.

It's all Gail's doing. Dweezil absolutely realizes the power of the internet and connecting with fans, and the way rare vs. infinite goods works. Gail would rather sell at $2 per song (I just picked that number out of the air) to one person rather than $1 per song to 100 people.


No, I completely forgot to watch it. If you could post the URL again I'd appreciate it.

Dweezil may be obsessed with his Pop's material, in a musical way, and that's fine. It deserves to be obsessed over, and performed well. But Gail has decided that FZ's recorded material is so precious that it MUST be worth more than everybody else's recordings. She TOTALLY doesn't get the new business model.

**cough** TOOL **cough**

And me.

I wouldn't care if it was the ENTIRE recording of all music out there...it's just not that big of a deal for me.

This. It's also on Netflix for instant watch and several day DVD copy.

Maybe I'm being overly critical, but to me, seeing him obsess over he mixing boards and having this EXTREMELY INTIMATE knowledge of every sound in his dad's tracks is weird. I mean... I understand it as a way to connect with his father, but it just seems a little sad or something. I think I'm WAY over-analyzing it.

I have to agree. The only songs I've ever purchased from iTunes is when they had the Pepsi bottlecap giveaway the first year iTunes went online.

I still purchase CD's and rip them.

Cd's… How… Quaint.

But still, iTunes is the #1 music retail store, so The Beatles are a big deal. For future generations.

Would you be happier if it was the Kid Rock catalog?

I would, but I still don't think it would justify the "breathless" stuff. Definitely, love Kid.


( . . . waits for huge howls of "talk about overrated," but it's all a matter of personal taste, so howl on. )

And me too

I remember my sisters almost fainted when the Beatles was on the Ed Sullivan Show (B/W) <-- I thought so what ? ?

Then when Elvis was filming a movie here, we just so happen to drive by a beach that Elvis was hanging out on - My sisters dang near jumped out of a moving car <-- So what?

Both over rated
