Pictured are my copies of his 1966 debut LP featuing the hit as well as my 7" novelty single with "!ɒɒɒH-ɒH ,γɒwA ɘM ɘʞɒT oT ϱnimoƆ ɘɿ'γɘ⑁T" printed on the b-side (which appropriately plays the song in reverse).

Not to mention a nice piece of Zappaesque psychedelia.

Another passing - Robin Lumley, British jazz fusion musician, keyboardist, record producer, and author who was a member of the band Brand X passed last night as well. Official statement from Brand X.

Rest in Power. A friend of mines passed recently. He went missing around the beginning of the year and I believe his family just found his body recently. I did some organizing work with him in the past but I haven't talked to him in person for a couple of years now.

I stumbled upon a soundcloud that I didn't even know he had. I know he used to freestyle often but didn't realize he actually did a song. He sounds like he also used a pitch corrector or something like that for this because his voice is way deeper than in this song.

Thanks for the condolences. I hope someone organizes a memorial soon that I can attend. I'm usually horrible at funerals but I'll force myself to go this time.
