Magnolia has been consistently producing things I want to see, and films I'm glad I have seen. Looking forward to this one.

Default The tragedy falls apart

I once had a boss who tried to look like Frank Zappa because he thought it might make him "reach me". He was what the professionals call a deluded pile of doo doo cancer. And a stupid cracker. He was a self interested jack ass who liked cracking whips to feel special. Sentences like this are really quite

Watched it. It's good. Gained a lot of respect from me for his work ethic.

If I remember correctly, that's the pop song that they played for the record company in order to get the album made. It is a good song

EDIT: I've added Uncle Meat and Absolutely Free.
Some of those are quite hard to get into for most listeners, although I assume you're not most listeners.

Out of the albums which are easier to get into, I like One Size Fits All the most. It's great from start to finish, particularly Inca Roads and Sofa no. 2. Other albums I find a little easier includes Over-nite Sensation, Apostrophe, Hot Rats (already on your list), Sheik Yerbouti and Joe's Garage.

I wish Zappa had done more mellow fusiony jazz tracks like the gorgeous Blessed Relief from The Grand Wazoo.
