Frank Zappa is an odd duck. His massive back catalogue of albums attracts both reverence and ambivalence from music fans. Stylistically, he covered so much ground covering doo wop, blues, psych, jazz fusion and dissonant orchestral music. Unlike many of his rock and roll contemporaries, he always believed in infusing a sense of humour into his music – both compositionally and lyrically….though since what strikes some as funny is so subjective, it couldn't appeal to everyone. He wrote about commercialism in America, the hypocrisy of conservatives and liberals in American society, and….umm….body parts. Welcome to episode 127 of See Hear Podcast. Tim, Kerry and I pontificate about the work of Frank Zappa with an eye towards his 1972 film, 200 Motels. It's a surreal work that's supposed to be his take on what life on the road is like for a working band – encountering rednecks and groupies, band egos and paranoia (the latter for good reason in this instance), and drug use. The film is vignette based with music provided by the 2nd incarnation of the Mothers of Invention and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Zappa spent 4 years composing and arranging the music, and much less time writing a script. That works out as well as expected. As well as discussing 200 Motels, we put the background towards its creation in context, thanks to an excellent documentary called “Frank Zappa – Free Jazz, Movie Madness & Another Mothers”(available on Tubi). Many thanks to Tom Stein for making us aware of that film's existence. If our discussion goes all over the place, maybe it's a tribute to the structure of 200 Motels. Tune in and hear where we stand on this surreal piece of cinema. Is it Luis Bunuel? Well….would Luis Bunuel have dressed Ringo Starr up as a tall dwarf with a desire to do something with a genie lamp to Keith Moon dressed as a nun?

The Labour Leader is pushing back against criticism of emergency housing motels amid an increase in reports of concern to Oranga Tamariki. It estimates its seen a 45% increase in reports in the year to April, and data shows that as of March 31st, there were 1,391 children overdue to be given a social worker. Chris Hipkins is rebuking the idea the situation is a legacy of the previous Labour Government, telling John MacDonald that economic circumstances often result in a rise in negative statistics, as families are under a lot of financial pressure. He accepts this kind of thing builds over time, but an increase of this magnitude cannot solely be blamed on the previous government, and the current government has played a role. "If we've got more kids living on the streets and living in cars because they've booted everyone out of emergency accommodation and they're being referred to Oranga Tamariki as a result of that, which the government was told would happen, with their emergency accommodation policy, then yes, that is the government's responsibility." Motels were one of the Labour Party's emergency housing solutions, and Hipkins admits that it's not optimal, but it's better than having people living in cars or under bridges.

Alright, I gotta be honest—I showed up for this episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show thinking we were gonna be talking about The Mothers. You know, Frank Zappa's band? The weird, experimental, genre-bending legends? I figured Clay and Amanda were finally gonna dig into some real avant-garde madness. Maybe talk about Freak Out! or We're Only In It for the Money. But no. No Zappa. No Mothers. Instead, we're talking about The Others.Don't get me wrong, The Others is great. It's a modern Gothic horror masterpiece, full of all the hallmarks of a great haunted house movie, like eerie atmosphere, whispering children, and Nicole Kidman wandering around a dark old house looking extremely stressed. It's got a chilling slow burn, a fantastic twist, and some of the best ghostly suspense of the 2000s. Clay and Amanda are gonna get into all of it—the story, the scares, the themes of grief and isolation—but man… I was really hoping we were here to discuss a 17-minute live version of “Montana.”I mean, I'll stick around, obviously. The Others deserves attention, and honestly, it does have a kind of haunting, surreal quality—sort of like a Zappa album, if you think about it. But I just need to say, on the record: next time, maybe we could talk about The Mothers? Just a little? Maybe an episode on 200 Motels? No? Okay, fine. The Others it is. It's probably a more rewarding experience than listening to Frank Zappa, anyway.So, if you're ready for ghostly suspense, chilling reveals, and a deep dive into one of the most effective horror films of the 2000s, stick with Clay and Amanda. Meanwhile, I'll be in the corner, listening to Apostrophe (‘) and wondering what could have been.patreon.com/thepenskyfile

Sudeck emphasized the positive outcomes of their projects, such as crime reduction in areas like Tacoma's Hosmer district, and expressed confidence in their model's potential to alleviate the affordable housing shortage. Also, outlined the current real estate market challenges, including a decline in new developers due to high inflation and costs, and explained how their firm can outbid traditional hoteliers for properties.

Meet Austin Phippen, a hospitality entrepreneur balancing the demands of multiple ventures in the heart of Chama, New Mexico. Austin and his wife Karlee are redefining what it means to build a rural hospitality empire, managing everything from a boutique motel to an event venue and even vacation rentals. Tune in as Austin shares his journey from construction to hospitality, how his family's legacy property sparked a wedding venue business, and the surprising lessons he's learned about running a motel in one of the most remote, yet scenic, areas of the country. Discover how Austin transformed a family cabin into a top wedding destination, navigated the complexities of managing a motel, and how seasonal challenges shape his business strategy. If you're curious about what it takes to run multiple hospitality ventures in a small town or how to grow a business with little initial experience, this episode is packed with insights for you. Austin and I also discuss the power of organic growth, the balance between low-touch and high-touch hospitality, and why Austin believes hands-on interaction is key to guest satisfaction. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in rural tourism, family-run hospitality businesses, or those dreaming of building their own legacy in the industry.

The article addressed in our Medicare Minute is entitled, "Need a Medicare Advantage Plan?" It goes on to describe the results of a study illustrating the fact that residents of poor counties have difficulty getting highly rated MA plans. The Medicare Wikipedia page describes how medical doctors are reimbursed for their services depending on their legal relationship with Medicare.

Last episode, you heard the thrilling, incredible rock n' roll stories of the Hollywood Stars' Scott Phares and Jeff Jourard. This week, we conclude our epic conversation by revealing each of our Top 5 LA Albums! The Hollywood Stars were THE "It Band" on the Sunset Strip in the early '70s. Originally concocted by legendary Hollywood impresario and cult figure Kim Fowley to be LA's answer to New York Dolls, the Stars' mix of glammed-up hard rock and pop hooks made them mainstays at clubs like the Whisky a Go Go and the Starwood. Bands like Journey, the Runaways, and Quiet Riot opened for them. Iggy Pop joined them on stage. John Lennon attended their performances. Their songs were covered by Alice Cooper ('Escape') and KISS ('King of the Night Time World'). Every major label wanted to sign them, eventually recording a debut album in 1974 for Columbia with Eagles producer Bill Szymczyk. But fate had other plans for the Hollywood Stars...a shake up at Columbia's west coast division led to the band being dropped before the album was released (and would remain that way until 2013, when Shine Like A Radio: The Great Lost 1974 Album surfaced), and the original incarnation of the band broke up. The remnants of the band would finally release an eponymous debut album for Arista in 1977, but that was effectively the end of the Hollywood Stars' story...until now. Following the success of their archival release, the band would get back together in 2018 for live shows and new recordings, with original lead vocalist Scott Phares returning to the fold. Their brand new 2024 album, Starstruck, finds the band in fine, rockin' form. The current version of the band also includes a veteran guitarist with more incredible rock n' roll stories to tell, Jeff Jourard. Jeff played with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers during the recording of their first album - the motorcycle jacket you see Petty wearing on the cover was Jeff's - but his departure from the band as they left for England meant that his sole credit on the record was a "Heartfelt Thanks." After that, Jeff teamed up with Martha Davis to form the Motels, co-writing their oft-covered classic 'Total Control.' Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
