Send us a textFrank stops by the show to discuss his solo record, his childhood adventures with his brother and so much more. *****Living Between the Lines is the debut solo LP from Frank Meyer. A long time coming, Meyer's been hinting at it for a while now with Bandcamp exclusive tracks, covers on tribute albums, acoustic solo shows, and his acclaimed collaboration album with Eddie Spaghetti of the Supersuckers. Like the Eddie collab, LBTL is out on Kitten Robot Records. The 11-song album adds touches of blues and soul to Meyer's expected high-energy rock ‘n 'roll, revealing a more mature voice. He is joined for duets by longtime friend and collaborator Lisa Kekaula of the Bellrays on the title track, Runaways icon Cherie Currie on “Piece of Me” and Spaghetti himself on “Partners In Crime.”An award-winning musician, filmmaker and author, Meyer has a track record that covers rock ‘n 'roll, punk, heavy metal, blues, and country. Known for his work with everyone from Rock ‘n 'Roll Hall of Famers James Williamson (Iggy & the Stooges) and Wayne Kramer (MC5) to legendary punk act FEAR, Meyer has carved out a career full of unlikely collaborations, hard work, searing guitar playing, and ace songwriting skills.“It meant a lot to have these particular vocalists join me on my solo debut,” says Meyer. “Lisa and I go way back to my earliest days of the music scene in L.A.. Eddie is also an ld friend and touring buddy, and was a big inspiration in making this album. Cherie saw the Streewalkin' Cheetahs early on and helped us get signed. So all of them are dear to me and have been integral in my career.”As kids, Frank and his brother (actor Breckin Meyer) put on plays and lip-sync concerts for their parents. By age 12, lil 'Frankie was playing guitar, writing songs and recording at Frank Zappa's house with his childhood friends Ahmet and Dweezil. By age 15, he was gigging professionally around the ‘80s Hollywood club scene with his teenage high school band. In the mid-'90s, Meyer formed punk act the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs, who went on to record many acclaimed albums, tour the world and carve out a niche as one of L.A.'s hardest working, hardest rocking bands. The band remains active with new releases and reissues out in stores on Rum Bar Records, Heavy Medication Records, and Ghost Highway Records, plus European and US touring activity.*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

She walked so He-Man, My Little Pony, the Transformers and more could run. Strawberry Shortcake, from the pens of Barbi Sargent and Muriel Fahrion for American Greetings, was picked up by Kenner and aimed to be a multimedia smash via televised specials to help promote the character's world and toys on secondary, independent TV channels. Through this six-year journey, surprising connections to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Ed McMahon and Frank Zappa all wind up caught in the precocious six-year old's garden. Artist Mary Bellamy joins us for a berry good time!

As the country approached it's 200th anniversary, Frank Zappa and his high school buddy Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Fleet) recorded their one and only album together, Bongo Fury.  It is a live recording from a short tour the Mothers and Beefhart embarked on in 1975, before a feud over creative difference rendered any more collaborations sadly impossible.  Aaron wanted to make sure to get this one in before the end of the year, at it is the 50th anniversary of Bongo Fury! #themothersofinvention #zappa #captainbeefheart #bongofury #livemusic #classicrock #edgardvarese #guitarrockYUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobri...Maniacal Music Musings (Jeremy's Podcast)https://open.spotify.com/show/1JnX3TTMFK1h6gudKtn4s0The Antisocial Networkhttps://www.youtube.com/@ASN4LIFEYeah Uh Huh Social Stuff:Yeah Uh Huh on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh on Facebookhttps://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aaYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611Yeah Uh Huh Website:https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh WebsiteHome | YeahUhHuhPod (yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com)Yeah-Uh-Huh on YoutubeYeah Uh-Huh - YouTubeYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611

Michael Brown undertakes a thorough study of Eyeliner's Eyeliner's Buy Now (Bloomsbury 2025) a vaporwave homage to the kitsch electronic sounds of the 1980s and 1990s. Eyeliner's BUY NOW (2015) belongs to a new genre for our times: vaporwave. Emerging in the early 2010s on the internet, vaporwave originated with a cohort of millennial artists who reimagined the musical soundtracks of 1980s-1990s consumerism with an adroit mixture of irony and sincerity. One of these was Eyeliner, the alias of New Zealand computer musician Luke Rowell (a.k.a. Disasteradio). For his vaporwave masterpiece, Rowell harnessed computer software to craft a unique album, a catchy, funky, and witty tour through the utopias of advertising at "the end of history." BUY NOW epitomizes a new kind of album for the internet age: made DIY-style, all digital, free, licensed under Creative Commons, and released to a "virtual" community, an online scene without geographic center. Drawing on original interviews and the album's production archive, Eyeliner's BUY NOW (Bloomsbury 2025) uses BUY NOW's story to investigate what it means to create, distribute, and consume independent music in an era of global networks and digital technology. It places the album in both the real-world and online contexts of Rowell's life and career, from early websites to the Spotify era, from Lower Hutt to the world. Michael Brown on Bluesky.

Nick has another Tales from the Concert. Furious Bongos, featuring Chad Wackerman on drums, came to Hagerstown last week to perform Frank Zappa's music and they did not disappoint.Song: Furious Bongos - “Black Page #2”Wayan Zoey is back to sub for Greg this week. He heard about Nick & Jay's recent experience seeing DOOM GONG and wanted to relay how there subsequent show in NYC went. Needless to say, the band had a less than optimal experience with a venue.Song: SML - “Chicago Four”Jay is excited to have our guest host this week because he's recently caught the Phish bug and has a lot of questions he needs answered. Wayan is a lifelong Phish fan and completely up on the band's lore. It's time for a Phish Q&A.Clip: Phish - Live in Saratoga, NY 7/25/25

We had a chance to catch up with Mike Noordzy from Mothguts and Cody McCorry from We Used to Cut the Grass to talk about this upcoming show.  The two of them collaborated on two sound pieces that set the tone for our discussion.  While what they performed is not what they will be playing at the show, Mike and Cody are two truly inspired and creative people who represent the best of Asbury Park!Mothguts 20th Anniversary Show & We Used to Cut the Grassplus Mono Means Onehttps://apboardwalk.com/news/events/mothguts-we-used-to-cut-the-grass/MOTHGUTSMothguts is a New Jersey–based instrumental quartet known for smashing together the worlds of death metal, free jazz, grunge, grindcore, noise, and sludge into a relentless sonic assault. Founded in 2005, the band has carved out a reputation for fearless experimentation, chaotic energy, and a sound that refuses to be contained by genre.The lineup features Mike Noordzy on bass, Ben Ross on drums, Anthony Ware on alto saxophone, and Chris Welcome on guitar. Together, they've cultivated a brutal yet boundary-defying aesthetic, marked by blistering improvisation and crushing heaviness.Now celebrating their 20th anniversary, Mothguts remains a singular force in the underground, revered for their uncompromising creativity and blistering live shows. Two decades in, the band continues to blur boundaries and challenge listeners with music that is as punishing as it is visionary.WE USED TO CUT THE GRASSWe Used to Cut the Grass is a shapeshifting experimental ensemble led by composer/bassist Cody McCorry, most frequently appearing as a 10-piece band known for heavy brass and two tightly synchronized drum kits. Heavily inspired by the likes of Frank Zappa, John Zorn and Sun Ra, the band has roots in the blurred zone between progressive rock and jazz fusion, but has since stretched further into post-rock and experimental endeavors, reaching from orchestral/chamber works to absurdist sound collage. The group's sophomore album, “We Used to Cut the Grass #2,” is the follow up to their similarly self-titled album released in 2022. It has been described by math rock periodical Fecking Bahamas as “a much needed joyride.” On the album and its composer, Prog Critique has this to say: “I don't know if he's a genius or a brilliant madman… [the album] surprises, it disorients, as much as it captivates… have we ever seen a band cover such a rich palette?”MONO MEANS ONEMono Means One is a psychedelic prog trio and the brainchild of bassist and composer John Ferrara, best known as the bass player and co-founder of the acclaimed world fusion band “Consider the Source.” Mono Means One's sound contains melancholic melodies, rich sonic textures with Drum ‘N' Bass grooves and Mathrock sensibilities. Half composed and half improvised, the music is often dark, with moments of calm serenity and other times heavy, oscillating between chill grooves to almost unbearable intensity. Originally composed entirely on the bass guitar, John paired up with Rob Madore (Drums) and Isaac Young (Keys) to add intensely nuanced beats with futuristic colorful sonic textures. All three members produce a sound that is powerful and unique all to their own.Ferrara has been dubbed the “Unsung Genius” of bass tapping by bass sensation Charles Berthoud, is a teacher at Scotts Bass Lessons, and has been featured in Bass Magazine, NoTreble, Bass Musician magazine among many other publications.Doors 7:00 PMShow 8:00 PM21+ admitted Asbury Park Vibes Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart, Audible, and PandoraHosted by Diane DiMemmo & Doug DresherCopyright 2020-2025 Asbury Park Vibes.

Master violinist/vocalist/composer L. Shankar (aka Shenkar) has spent the past four decades developing a personal style that ranges from strict Indian classical music to Western instrumental pop although usually he lands somewhere in the middle. Since playing his first solo concert at the age of seven, he has gone on to accompany many of South India's leading vocalists and become a major soloist. Schooled in voice, violin, and the drums, he has composed new ragas and folk songs, and played with countless other master musicians. In the 1970s, with John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussain, Vikku Vinayakram, and Ramnad Raghavan, he co-founded the legendary Indo-jazz group Shakti. In the 1980s, he introduced a custom-made 10-string double violin capable of covering the whole range of the orchestra's string section from violin to double bass. He has collaborated with Frank Zappa and Peter Gabriel and has continued to expand the international audience for Indian music, often combining North Indian (Hindustani) and South Indian (Carnatic) styles, (Robert Browning Associates program notes, 2022). L. Shankar performs original works, in-studio.Set list: 1. Ananda Nadamadum Tillaj Sankara 2. Ganapathiye Varuvaai  3. Shamudu

THE FUSEBOX INTERVIEW : Napoleon Murphy Brock and Nick Chargin : 01:06:18 Join us for a delightful interview with Napoleon Murphy Brock, Frank Zappa's frontman during the 1973 -75 years. Arguably, one the most beloved bands non the Zappa universe. He's featured on albums like “Over-nite Sensation”, “One Size Fits All”, “Bongo Fury”  and “Roxy […]

Frank Zappa verstarb am 4. Dezember 1993 – nur einen Monat vor seinem Tod erschien sein Album „Yellow Shark“. Eingespielt hatte es der Ausnahmemusiker mit dem Ensemble Modern aus Frankfurt am Main. Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Ensemble für zeitgenössische Musik und dem Komponisten Zappa war für beide Seiten eine spannende Grenzüberschreitung. Das beweist auch der Titel „Moggio“, der zehn Jahre später auf dem Album „Ensemble Modern plays Frank Zappa – Greggery Peccary & other persuasions“ erschien.

On tonight's episode, we dive into Steve Vai's powerful message to the music world — a heartfelt call to support legendary guitar tech Thomas Nordegg. Thomas, who's worked with Steve Vai, Frank Zappa, Duran Duran, and so many more, was recently involved in a serious scooter accident in Los Angeles near Laurel Canyon and Ventura Blvd. He's now facing a long road to recovery and, as a self-employed tech, a total loss of income. Steve Vai and friends have launched a fundraiser with a goal of $46,000 to help cover medical bills, transportation, and living expenses while Thomas heals. Let's show some love and rally behind the guy who's kept the world's greatest guitars in tune for decades. ❤️

Dweezil Zappa joins Laughingmonkeymusic for a deep dive into one of his most iconic works — “My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama.” In this episode, Dweezil breaks down the song's origins, its connection to his father Frank Zappa's legacy, and how he reimagined it for a new generation of guitar fans.From tone and technique to songwriting and production, Dweezil walks us through the creative choices that shaped the track and the mindset behind his unique guitar voice. The conversation moves beyond nostalgia, touching on how he continues to evolve as a player and composer while honoring the Zappa name.We also get into Dweezil's approach to recording, live sound, and how he balances the technical precision of his playing with emotional depth. His insight into gear, arrangement, and artistic intent gives fans a rare behind-the-curtain look at what makes his music tick.If you love guitar-driven rock, musical storytelling, and creative freedom, this episode is a must-watch.Follow Dweezil Zappa:Website – dweezilzappa.comInstagram – @dweezilzappaofficialYouTube – Dweezil Zappa

Robert Reich wrote on his substack for September 16, One study found that half of Americans expect a second civil war to happen "in the next few years," even if the specifics vary according to one's politics and imagination. On the other hand, unlike the Civil War of 1861-1865, no particular issue — like slavery back then — pulls the nation apart. While immigration, crime, abortion, and LGBTQ+ rights are controversial, none of these seem to elicit the anger and passions that might generate civil war. Nor are we enduring an economic calamity, pandemic, world war, or other national cataclysm that might force Americans to take sides. While we are not experiencing a singular polarizing issue like Slavery, and though we can't point to a singular economic calamity that brought this on, it is in fact  decades of economic factors and now a looming economic disaster that has put us here.  We've managed to create an economy over a half century that excludes, then isolates individuals by limiting access to everything from communications to housing, your home sitting at the apex of human need. Socially we tell the newly minted abandoned economic nomads that it's their fault.  Our systems and our leaders constantly remind them in a myriad of ways that they don't have what it takes to 'make it'. Then we forget these individuals unless or until they commit a mass shooting, or we find them dead of an overdose behind the Walgreens. Maybe just maybe they are thought of by elected officials from time to time when their votes are needed.    My thoughts on our society have been shaped in part by my experiences as a youngster with poverty.  My young life started stable and solidly middle class then descended, through family circumstance, into the grips of poverty. Don't get me wrong, I have countless fond memories from my upbringing. Here though, I'd rather for a moment focus on our experiences that represent the other side of growing up in America. Growing up poor in America. A friend once recounted the quote, 'the only thing worse than a country full of have-nots is a country full of used-to-haves'. We are a country massed with people who know what they are missing. For decades, some of us were building a society based on creativity, positive energy, robust education…… for some of us while for others,  we've built a society where resentment, economic fear, shame for your economic status; we took this underbelly of societal cancer and metastasized it. We've turned grief into grievance. We've given nearly all the worst in each and every one of us a voice and put it to work in the service of accelerating the downward spiral that enriches an ever smaller number of our neighbors.  I am the product of the 1980's.  My life has occurred during the dismantling of the New Deal.  I'm also proud of my family's immigrant heritage.  I believe in the countless individual stories that make up the story of North America.  That tell us the story of the American Experiment.  The community in central Massachusetts where I grew up was no stranger to global changes in the economy, albeit being in the northeast meant we were spared the very worst of de-industrialization until well into the early aughts.   Our family suffered a divorce, not an affliction caused by economics but one that significantly altered the economic trajectory of our little family.  What's so striking to me to this day, is the dichotomy between those that were always there to help, with those community members who suddenly discovered, to my little mind, that we had committed a grave transgression.  Did they think we'd give them the flu?  Was it something Mom said? Do I have something on my shirt?  You see it when people look just above your head into the distance when you approach.  You begin to understand that some people still have what you once had and they might even be taking it for granted.   People stopped talking to us at church. The farther we got away from affluence, the further folks seemed to get away from us.  I was learning a seminal point that we don't like to tell ourselves about ourselves.  For all that Americans can be wonderfully gracious when called upon, there are just as many of us who long ago gave into the desire of self-preservation by blaming others when those others need help. By keeping a distance from the affliction of poverty.  Maybe just maybe by doing so, we won't get any on us.  Except the churning economic deprivation knows no boundaries.  Doesn't stop for anything.  Denying our systems have been kicking people to the side of the road, while kicking the Spector of debt, failed systems and social ills down the road, has left us in grave peril. Frank Zappa said, 'The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater'. I fear that the show is about to be over.  _________   History.  It's what keeps me getting up every morning. It's what keeps me trying with all my might to build more housing, to build new companies and to write like this.  We've been here before.  This isn't our first Gilded Age.  We've lived with the presence of Jim Crow and widespread open bigotry and classism; tools used to split the populace to the benefit of the elite. The Klan marched 30K plus in Washington, DC in 1923.  They also tried to march on my very hometown in 1924, immigrants including some family members stopped them in their tracks at the town border.  People get pissed, it turns out, when they know what they're missing.  If you think you can write, then write.  If you can organize, then organize.  Reach out to just one person, commiserate, and grow your group from there.  There is strength in numbers.  When you see an injustice, you really should call it out.  Remember the Zappa quote?  Demand a refund on your ticket. Demand a free and fair election. Demand a more inclusive economy.  Participate in solutions.  Create the right, instead of avenging the wrong.  Most importantly, Love one another.

This week on The Metro, Rev Jeff Ivins brings you the following artists: Eddie Money, Frank Zappa, Fiction Factory, The Go Go's, Yello, Uncanny X-Men, The Psychedelic Furs, The Style Council, The Alarm, Men At Work, New Order, Miracle Legion, Marilyn, and ends off with Pet Shop Boys.

Adrian Belew has spent his career on the cutting edge of guitar sounds, inventing the most forward-thinking tones to ever appear on record. His work as a solo artist and with King Crimson would be enough to land him on every guitarist's radar. But that's just one facet of his musical life, and he's famously spent time with some of the biggest artists of all time: David Bowie, Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, Nine Inch Nails. He even appears in places you'd never expect experimental guitar, like Paul Simon's “You Can Call Me Al.”To talk about Adrian, we called up Blair White. As co-owner of Nashville's Eastside Music Supply, White and Belew struck up a friendship and they ended up working together to decode some of the tones that Belew needed for the much-lauded Beat tour and beyond. Blair gives us some insight into Belew's playing, his process, and helps us solve a mystery.Sponsored by Vega-Trem: vegatrem.comFollow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nickmillevoiFollow Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jasonshadrickGet at us: 100guitarists@premierguitar.comCall/Text: 319-423-9734Podcast powered by Sweetwater.

Andy talks about his love for William Shatner, even though he may or may not have blocked him on X. The cost of coffee everywhere is going up, blamed on tariffs and inclement weather. For some reason, people still don't like the San Fernando Valley. Why is that? In October 1999, the Staples Center first opened. Andy revisits the KTLA news report commemorating the night it opened. Are you looking to date a freak like you? Apparently freak matching is a thing on social media to beat the dating app algorithm.

Mark Volman, Howard Kaylan, and Jim Pons (of The Turtles) were with Frank Zappa'a Mothers of Invention for only around two years, though the amount of recordings released would make you think it was MUCH longer. Their time with Zappa ended MUCH earlier than intended as well.I was fortunate to speak with Volman several years ago as he was getting ready to perform in the "Happy Together Tour" in this region. We spoke about working with students and becoming a professor (after taking 32 years between starting and finishing his bachelor's), his time with Zappa, and touching briefly on Flo and Eddie, which came about because they weren't allowed to use their own names. Yeah. They signed THAT kind of contract.Revisiting my conversation with Mark Volman, who passed away September 5th at the age of 78.

This is the story of a song. Yet, it is a song that binds nearly every strand of 20th-century American popular music. “Hey Joe” was written sometime in the early 1960s by a man named Billy Roberts, an obscure singer and guitarist from South Carolina who moved to New York City, drawn by the burgeoning folk music scene in Greenwich Village. It was a time when new, original material was scarce, leading other singers to quickly adapt songs of quality in the spirit of folk music's oral traditions. Thus began the long journey of “Hey Joe” from New York coffeehouses to the bars on L.A.'s Sunset Strip to the ears of a young guitarist named Jimi Hendrix who launched his career with his radical, electrified interpretation. Extensively researched, That Gun in Your Hand: The Strange Saga of ‘Hey Joe' and Popular Music's History of Violence (Anvil Press, 2025) also presents previously unpublished information about the life of Billy Roberts, a shadowy figure whose 2017 death went unreported by all news outlets. With a Foreword by Lenny Kaye. Jason Schneider has written for Exclaim!, The Globe & Mail, The Toronto Star, Paste, American Songwriter, Relix, Shindig and many other media outlets. He is the co-author of Have Not Been The Same: the CanRock Renaissance 1985-1995, and his other books include Whispering Pines: the Northern Roots of American Music, and the novel 3,000 Miles. He currently lives in Kitchener, Ontario. Jason Schneider on Bluesky.

The Senate hearings were a momentous occasion when Frank Zappa, Dee Snider and John Denver (!) stepped up for Freedom Of Speech. Recently it was the anniversary of this dark day for democracy....

George J. Chanos is a lawyer and a former attorney general with both eyes on the future. His foresight led him to write the books Seize Your Destiny: A Roadmap to Success and Millennial Samurai: A Mindset for the 21st Century.  However, creating thought-provoking books isn't his only talent. George has recently been hard at work on an NFT art project called People Reign. In this episode, George shared his predictions for the future and his latest undertaking. George talked about how his desire to help his daughter and his nephew navigate their futures led to the creation of his first book. He quickly came to the realization that his young relatives wouldn't be experiencing the same world that he had been dealing with all his life. Their future looked different. Determining what that entailed led him to create his second book.  George now believes that a technological tsunami is coming for all of us and the water is currently rising. Automation will make many jobs things of the past. But if we put our minds together and ask the right questions, we can ultimately choose what our future will look like. In This Episode: [02:44] - George talks about his heart attack and what he learned from the experience. [05:25] - A letter to George's teenage daughter becomes the book: Seize Your Destiny. [06:34] - What will reality look like 30 to 40 years from now? [08:42] - How do we give our children a better life? [11:10] - Using your mind to overcome obstacles. [16:12] - The value of different views. [18:30] - How to make sense of different perspectives. [37: 22] - What skills do we need to survive? [45:30] - The future of technology. [58:18] - The need for intelligent discussion. [1:04:30] - George discusses how his passion for art led him to create People Reign. QUOTES • [09:56] - “Embrace your ignorance. And the reason why is that learning begins with a recognition of ignorance. If we think we know all the answers, why bother to learn? Right. So the reality is: is that we don't know all the answers.” - George J. Chanos • [11:10] - “Frank Zappa. Your mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it isn't open.” - George J. Chanos • [12:10] - “Your mind is a double-edged sword. It's both your most powerful tool and your greatest liability.” - George J. Chanos • [15:37] - “We should learn that our beliefs and our views have no privileged legitimacy. Just because I think it's a certain way does not mean that's the way it is…. Just because my brain is telling me that this is reality and this is what it is doesn't mean I'm right.” - George J. Chanos • [28:42] - “The more character you have, the more successful you are likely to be.” - George J. Chanos • [1:01:10] -“What is more important than knowledge is intelligence….Knowledge is accessible to all of us…But you have to know what question to ask. That is not knowledge. That is intelligence.” - George J. Chanos • [1:11:37] - “I believe it is important to speak out and to leave something behind.”- George J. Chanos RESOURCES  George J.

Dweezil Zappa was born on September 5, 1969, in Los Angeles, California, the son of legendary musician and composer Frank Zappa and Gail Zappa. Growing up in one of the most creatively charged households in rock history, Dweezil was surrounded by instruments, recording sessions, and a constant stream of innovative artists visiting the family home. Naturally drawn to music, he began playing guitar at a young age, inspired by players like Eddie Van Halen, who would later mentor him. By the time he was 12, Dweezil released his first single, “My Mother Is a Space Cadet,” with Eddie Van Halen producing and playing on it—a remarkable start for such a young artist.Released in 1986 on Barking Pumpkin Records, Havin' a Bad Day was Dweezil Zappa's debut solo album and a bold introduction to his talent as both a guitarist and songwriter. Recorded largely at his father's famed UMRK (Utility Muffin Research Kitchen) studio, the album captures Dweezil as a teenager experimenting with hard rock, glam metal, and pop influences that defined much of the decade. Produced by Frank Zappa and Bob Stone, the record showcases slick 1980s production values while allowing Dweezil's guitar work to take center stage.The album features nine tracks, including the title song “Havin' a Bad Day,” “Blonde Hair, Brown Nose,” “Electric Hoedown,” and “I Want a Yacht.” The songs balance tongue-in-cheek humor and youthful energy, mirroring both his father's satirical edge and the flashy guitar-driven sound of the era. Musicians like Scott Thunes and Chad Wackerman—both members of Frank's touring bands—provided bass and drums, while other family members, including Moon Unit and Gail Zappa, contributed backing vocals, adding to the album's homegrown atmosphere.While Havin' a Bad Day didn't make major commercial waves, it served as an important artistic statement for a young guitarist stepping out from a legendary shadow. Critics noted Dweezil's technical skill and melodic instincts, though many recognized he was still finding his voice as a songwriter. Today, the album stands as a fascinating snapshot of his early years—part youthful exuberance, part serious musicianship—and the first step in a career that would see him evolve into one of rock's most respected modern guitarists.

For the latest edition of Reading Is Funktamental, we speak with Richie Unterberger, author of more than a dozen of the great books on rock ' n ' roll history. His latest work was as a contributor to a great book of essays on underappreciated record producer Tom Wilson, Everybody's Head Is Open To Sound. Wilson was a black Harvard graduate who produced the debut recordings of jazz greats Sun Ra and Cecil Taylor, who produced the incredible early work of Bob Dylan and discovered not only Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention but the Velvet Underground. For more, read my earlier piece, a review of the book for PopMatters here https://www.popmatters.com/tom-wilson-underrated-icon "Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour show about great books written about music and music-makers.

Expect lively conversation and a playlist of great music to go with it. "Reading Is Funktamental" can be heard the second Wednesday of every month from 10 – 11 AM on Wave Farm: WGXC 90.7 FM and online at wavefarm.org. It can also be found as a podcast on Apple, Spotify, and other platforms. Sal Cataldi is a musician and writer based in Saugerties. He is best known for his work with his genre-leaping solo project, Spaghetti Eastern Music, and is also a member of the ambient guitar duo, Guitars A Go Go, the poetry and music duo, Vapor Vespers, and the quartet, Spaceheater. His writing on music, books, and film has been featured in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, PopMatters, The Seattle Times, The Huffington Post, Inside+Out Upstate NY, and NYSMusic.com, where he serves as the book reviewer.

Believe it or not, it's been 40 years since the P.M.R.C. senate hearings. For the young 'ens, The Parent's Music Resource Center was an organization of Senator's wives that were all about censoring music they didn't like. The Senate hearings were a momentous occasion when Frank Zappa, Dee Snider and John Denver (!) stepped up for Freedom Of Speech. Recently it was the anniversary of this dark day for democracy. So we decided to do a deep dive into the hearings. As well, we go over ringleader Tipper Gore's "Filthy 15". A list of "controversial" songs that got Tipper in a tizzy. This is probably our most politically charged episode yet. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we acknowledge the anniversary of the loss of the late, great Cliff Burton. Musically, we crank some Impaler (one of Tipsy's faves), Piledriver, Black Death, Tipper's Gore, Victim and we introduce (Canada's answer to The Mentors??) Powerload in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!  

Nick revisits one of the most notorious episodes in Saturday Night Live history, when Frank Zappa hosted during Season 4. The night has gone down as one of the worst ever, thanks largely to Zappa's smug, condescending approach and his open disdain for the format. From his monologue, where he flatly admitted to reading cue cards, to his constant mugging and deliberate attempts to derail sketches, it was a train wreck in slow motion. To try and salvage the episode, the show even shoehorned John Belushi's Samurai Futaba into one of Zappa's musical performances, but it wasn't enough. The result was a bizarre, uncomfortable mix of Conehead antics, a drugged-out Halloween sketch, and one very annoyed cast. Nick shares behind-the-scenes stories, testimonials from people who endured that rough week, and even Dana Carvey's later parody of Zappa's failed hosting gig. While Zappa remains a legendary musical innovator, his time at Studio 8H was such a disaster that he was banned from ever returning. [Ep 143]

Is this an appropriate time to talk about censorship? How about freedom of speech? How about the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Of America? We didn't plan it this way but history is rhyming in a big way right now, so we're actually glad to be taking a narrow-eyed look back at the past. 40 years ago this month Washington was abuzz with pending legislation to make laws determining some music obscene and ripe for censorship. Tipper Gore and her Parents Music Resource Center had the government all up in your business in 1985, and thankfully three REAL free speech warriors - Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, Frank Zappa and the unlikeliest of heroes, our man John Denver told Congress TO THEIR FACES to back off. Tipper's crusade against arbitrarily-deemed "filth" yielded ATTT a project. The so-called "Filthy Fifteen" is a list that's ripe for review, and the ATTT All-Stars are more than up for the task of ranking these songs using our patent-pending Worst To First format.

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is all about the many languages of Prog. Most progressive rock is sung in English, for reasons you probably already know well. However, a fair amount is sung in other languages. Because of that, quite a bit of progressive music does not get the attention it perhaps deserves. So, I am rectifying this just a little by featuring songs in a variety of languages. It's an international tour on Sound Chaser. I have In Memoriam features for musicians recently gone: Mark Volman, Rick Davies, and Nicky Ryan. The show features music from Magma, Yuka & Chronoship, Kraan, Ange, Tusmørke, Yesterdays, and many others. It's all here on Sound Chaser. PlaylistIcelandic1.

Revolution: Prince, the Band, the Era (Backbeat Books, 2025) is a detailed exploration into the era of Prince's most prolific and groundbreaking music made with considerable inspiration and performed by a unique cadre of musicians he gathered and relentlessly drove to be the sonic, visual, and ideological reflection of his evolving vision. Although being the most self-contained, versatile, and prolific artist of his era, Prince reveled in the band, a multi-racial, intergender unit that acted as both family and loyal acolytes that embodied his ethos, expressed his pathos, and lifted him to rarified heights of pop dominance. This is the story of the genre-shifting, multi-media, trailblazing Prince & the Revolution from their humble inception to their precipitous rise in celebrated hit singles, albums, films, and tours to their controversial and shocking demise.

Speciál se Sebastianem Langem ze skupiny Pondělníci o tom, jak se dvacátníci dívají na dnešní politiku a taky na voliče politiků. Sebastian je jeden z nejkreativnějších a nejtalentovanějších lidí, co jsem za poslední léta potkal. Píše písně pro svou kapelu, glosuje svět a současnou politiku na Instagramu skupiny i ve svých písních. Kdyby se naklonoval Frank Zappa, Mňága a Žďorp, Sepultura a Kecy&Politika, asi by se zhruba dala popsat jeho tvorba. Probrali jsme nejdůležitější otázky dneška a k tomu nám zazpíval ve studiu několik písní. Je Petr Fiala robot? Je Tomio Okamura Labubu? Ubodal Andrej Babiš dítě v přímém přenosu? Mluví se v pekle polsky? Existuje Slovensko? Může za všechno Fiala nebo Kalousek? Kam hipstři kladou vajíčka? Ví Dan Vávra všechno a je prasátko Pepa Antikrist? To všechno se dozvíte v dnešní vypečené epizodě.

In 1985, a group of powerful "Washington Wives" led by Tipper Gore formed the PMRC to clean up rock and roll, sparking a culture war that culminated in a dramatic Senate hearing. This episode of Rock N Roll Archaeology, "The Three-Body Problem," performs a forensic autopsy on that manufactured moral panic. We explore how the unlikely, chaotic alliance of John Denver, Dee Snider, and Frank Zappa dismantled the PMRC's case piece by piece. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

While we usually don't cover the pre-show in the podcast description, here's a link to the Sleepers show at the Takoma Park Folk Festival this past weekend. https://youtu.be/mshuwyTpHEc?si=3qasvm-B9sfM9YKvWe kick things off with a News with Nick. Mark Volman, of the Turtles, Flo & Eddie, and a tenure with Frank Zappa and the Mothers in the early 70s, passed last week. Apple now lets you import playlists from other services, Radiohead announces a European tour, and Tay-Tay's engaged.Song: Frank Zappa & The Mothers - “Call Any Vegetable (Live)”Greg caught the last show of Oasis's reunion tour in L.A. and he is pumped to deliver a Tales from the Concert. The Rose Bowl was sold out, with approximately 90,000 in attendance, and the crowd was electric. Oasis never had a Number 1 hit in the U.S. and never played venues like this, but they were received as rock n' roll royalty and Greg thinks they've earned it.Song: Oasis - “Wonderwall (Live in Dublin)”Jay shares an article by Kelefa Sanneh of the New Yorker called “How Music Criticism Lost Its Edge” which explores the rise of poptimism and the decline of the snarky critic. The guys revisit a conversation they've explored in past episodes, what do we lose when music criticism loses its edge?Song: The Cure - “Cold”

What's myth and what's fact in the story of Charles Manson? What were the true motives behind the murders and who was really involved? There are many books covering this topic, yet very few have broken through the 'official' tale told by the trial's prosecutors and the news media at the time. This book includes hundreds of hours of research into court and police documents, witness statements, media reports and interviews with those involved. This book examines the current theories surrounding the case and appraises their likelihood against a timeline of events and the words of Manson himself. The prosecution case promoted by Vincent, Bugliosi, the Process Church influence as endorsed by Ed Sanders and David McGowan, the robbery scenario as spoken of by Nikolas Shreck and William Scanlon Murphy and the possibility of MK Ultra mind control as discussed by Adam Gorightly are all examined and tested.How do Terry Melcher, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Jane Fonda, the Mamas and the Papas, Michael Caine, Dean Martin, Angela Lansbury, Peter Sellers, Warren Beatty, Yul Brynner, Peter Falk, Cary Grant, Steve McQueen, Neil Young, Frank Zappa, Nancy Sinatra, Ronald Reagan and Debbie Harry fit into the tale? What Hollywood secrets did the industry, the police and the prosecution strive to keep hidden? Were the victims really chosen at random by a crazed cult of serial killers, high on a mix of LSD, Satanism and the music of the Beatles? Read on to uncover the secrets of the Manson family, their trial, the main players in the case and the murky world of Hollywood.The book contains 564 pages, 200,000+ words containing a complete history of the life of Charles Manson.A detailed examination of the Hinman, Shea, Tate and LaBianca murders, appraisal of all the most prominent theories surrounding the case, explanations of the coded confessions revealed in interviews with Manson.Stories of celebrity encounters, facts about Manson's relationship with the music industry, details of organised crime connections, faults with the prosecution's case, troubling indications about the motives and character of Vincent Bugliosi, examinations of further murders and other criminal activity possibly connected to Manson.Revelations about the main players involved in the case, embarrassing secrets of the Hollywood elite, suggestions of police ineptitude, signs of a cover-up, bizarre coincidences, strange occurrences, salacious gossip, radical political movements, riots, the Black Panthers, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, cults, religion, sex, drugs and murder.This book has been read, enjoyed, praised and promoted by friends of Charlies and members of ATWA. https://amzn.to/4naItmKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
