I can't remember the name of the album, but Having a bad day is on it
and Let's talk about it is on it.  These are the only two "good" songs
on the album, and marginally good at that.  Overall, I am not too 
impressed by the "Dweez".  However, I enjoy his speed solo on Sharleena
from Them or Us.  This does get annoying after a few times though.  
The Sharleena on WOIIFTM is beter just because of the context of other
songs on the album.

Vol 6. is currently only available in a boxed set with Vol. 5.  The Box has

Yeah I saw it again a few days ago. Not terribly essential except as far as
a kind of supplement to the Thingfish libereto. It is really pretty awful

I think I've finally hit on what it is that's been bothering me about Vol.
5 & 6 of YCDTOSA.  I keep feeling that soneone besides Frank selected the
material and had a close hand in the production.  The segues beteween
tracks just don't "feel" right; kind of incomplete.  Furthermore, the track
selection in a few cases does not really accomplish what the selection
criteria dictates.  Take Dinamo Humm, for example -- the version included
on Vol. 6 leaves me flat, whereas the version on Baby Snakes seems to be a
better fit to the selection criteria.  Not that I'd want the exact same
version, I just felt like the version used on Vol. 6 was arbitrary.

Antone else notice the lack of cohesiveness on the last two vols?

Ok, so Dweezil is not his father. He is though, IMHO, a much better guitar
player (techinically, that is, he sounds like he actually practices!).
I got MGWTKYM as a gift from am ignorant friend who knew I liked
Zappa but did not know the difference between Dweezil and Frank.
I have not heard any of his other efforts. 

As long as you are not comparing this to his father's work, the album is fine.
Some good old fashioned (well produced and played) stuff. Bozio's drum work
is great as always and while the words are a bit `twee' on the whole they are
fine. I find it is a good loud album to put on to vacuum the carpet by (no
offense intended to Dweezil) and it is also fine for simple party music.

My non-Zapaa friends (few and far between) seem to like it more than the Frank
stuff I normally force them to listen to.

I guess what I am trying to say is give the guy a break. While I sometimes
wished my old man was someone like FZ (so I could get to work with all those
great musicians) it may be a big disadvantage, what with people like us always
expecting him to be a young version of his dad.

As I have nothing else to add, I'll stop.

I have only seen  the hustler at the end of the movie Baby Snakes.
They had some blank film to waste so they filmed some guy at
1-818-pumpkin talking about mdse, and he whips out the  hustler
eventually - just for no apparent reason.  Anyway, if you haven't
seen baby snakes - do so NOW.  The claymation is amazing.  Also,
let the second tape play until the unit stops.  There is some wild
after gig stuff, and the mdse dude, plus a Peaches en Regalia video.
If u haven't seen it, it's video of the NY Halloween show on the album
baby snakes (Punky whips is insane - Terry Bozio is incredible), plus
the claymation, plus other weirdness.  I am sure that most Frank fans
have seen it, but just in case you haven't - DO SO NOW!  Joe did, and
he's a happy guy now...

Can I interest you in a zircon incrusted tweezer?

I haven't listened to _ZA_ in a while, so I can't help with the lyrics, 
but... When _ZA_ was reissued on CD by Ryko, there were com plaints that 
the mastering was really bad.  Frank said he'd look into it and remaster 
it if there was a problem.  I haven't bought it or called Pumpkin about 
it, but wondered what people though about the sound quality.  How does it 
compare to the original LP (which was not exactly crystal clear to begin 
with)?  Please include the mastering code found in the inner area of the 
CD (e.g., "PDO 813-4512-2 X") so we can figure out if there's > 1 mastering.
When I've asked Pumpkin about stuff like this before (e.g., the European 
remixed CDs), they've tended to downplay the differences...

Please email responses and I'll post a summary.
