I do it too because of Spongebob tbh. It's deeply ingrained.

The Perfect Stranger is my favourite Zappa album, but that might be because it's the least Zappa driven album so to speak (since modern classical doesn't have as much place for guitar solos or dirty lyrics). Of his more standard album set One Size Fits All is tops for me. Can't beat Inca Roads.

For the win.



The tune that left no doubt that Frank was a guitar monster.

Not my fave TBH, even though like all FZ it definitely has strong moments. I'm not really a big fan of FZ's solos, to me he tends to noodle too much. FZ's greatness IMO is as a composer/bandleader/recording producer and engineer, plus his inimitable vocal style.

It's really hard to pick a favorite from his vast catalog, but if I had to pick one it would possibly be One Size Fits All or Roxy And Elsewhere.

so far the day was great, read chapter 4 in my book. book is pretty much what ive learned but just in the book. its going from the book to the python shell, then back to the book to read.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

when i was doing my exercises, i couldnt even count to 150 without stopping every once in a while to think about to random thought

might take those nootropics i was taking again, might help with the book i reading, didnt even think of that until now.

i running my random number generator program to determine how many sets i do each day, havent finished yesterdays because it was an 8, so i wonder what ill get, time to eat left over stuff shells now though.



edit: program ran the number 9 :/ and i still have one more set to do from yesterday. my goal is to get one of the 9 done today and do todays sets, tomorrow. and maybe get a low number tomorrow because my body can only take so much :/

Pet_Sounds

Holler if you need somebody to check code or something. I know Python pretty well.

Is Pink Napkins on Shut Up and Play Your Guitar basically the same song?

Chula Vista

A little. Different tempo and a completely different improvised solo. But, in a basic way, ya.

It finally happened.

After 20 years in Japan, someone jumped in front of my train today just as it was pulling into the station and I was going to board it.

It was bound to happen. Had to walk a long way home tonight.
