i was thrift store shopping this weekend and i found a pristine copy of "geogaddi" on CD in the bins. two dollars! and i can't believe i've never really listened to them before. i sort of dismissed them as somewhat too mainstream and slick for me, but i enjoyed listening to this right away. two dollars! and i found red red meat's first album too. i'm so glad we americans have terrible taste in music. |

Nice find, nice album, try and get a cheap copy of "Music Has the Right to Children" which is IMO better, less fillers and a more coherant listening experience, great when your wasted. |

I recently bought a Marvin Gaye greatest hits thing, Parliament's "Mothership Connection," and Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book" for one dollar apiece on vinyl. Flea markets rule. |

I fail to see how you can love MHTRTC but hate Geogaddi. They're two sides of the same coin. |

well, i would surely pay full price for music has the right to children...i must have it soon at any cost. geogaddi is incredible. i had no idea they were so into math/science/spirituality. i dig it the most. listened to it this weekend while doing stuff around the house. over and over and over again. |

Frank Zappa is probably my favorite musician ever. Anyway, I can see how "Cheap Thrills" could be an annoying song, but I'm pretty sure Zappa meant it to be that way. He made that LP "Crusin with Ruben and the Jets" as a parody of doo-wop and he intentionally made it silly and cliched. I still think it's fun to listen to, though. |

I like Captain Beefheart more - he sounds a bit rougher, not as slick as Zappa, but still with the same sense of fun and experimentation. |

Oh yeah, Beefheart's great. I'm more familiar with Zappa's works, though. I don't really like later Zappa stuff much (post '77 or so) but I think his stuff with the Mothers and his early solo LPs are absolutely genius. They did work together a lot, and Zappa recorded Trout Mask Replica, I think. |

Is not! |

i can see that, sure...maybe i've just listened to it too many times...i really can't stand that piano playing that "sesame street" style melody. bah. sorry. i mean, other than that i really dig what i've heard of him, which is only sheik, we're only in it..., cheap thrills, strictly commercial. any reccomendations? |

We're Only In It For The Money is my favorite album of all time. His first three records, Freak Out, Absolutely Free, and We're Only... are amazing. His solo stuff like Hot Rats is great in a very different way... Over-Nite Sensation is great too. There's so much variety, it's hard to know where to point you since I'm not sure what you like about his stuff. |

yes, they did work together on trout mask replica. Don van Vliet and Zappa knew eachother from high school. at the recording sessions Beefheart felt very insecure and thought Zappa didn't have enough respect for him. Beefheart insisted they record the whole thing again but this time more under his control. In the seventies, Beefheart was broke and couldn't record anything new - Van Vliet had the silly notion to sign every recordcontract he got offered, which meant he was signed to about 6 recordcompanies at the same time, all the different legal stuff completely paralyzing Beefheart - he wasn't allowed to enter ANY studio. Zappa then took Beefheart with him on his tour, so he could at least earn some money and get away from all that shit. I do like the early Zappa too - it's later on that he gets too anal and slick. |
