I'm listening to my "Frank Zappa" channel on pandora dot com.
And it's STILL playing too much Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, and Pink Floyd.
Anyway the FZ selections are great: "For Calvin and His Next Two Hitch-Hikers", "Peaches En Regalia",....

Martin Rev, confusing the world for 40 years.
Sonny (Vincent) was a big fan of Suicide and his band Testors did shows with them at CBGB and other NYC shitholes. Imagine Suicide playing to those hippies at the Mercer Arts Center, where the Dolls used to play in 1971, 72. I would have liked to have seen that. The Mercer crowd diligently trying to pretend to dig it, baby! while Suicide was making as much only-musical-in-theory noise as they could. Must have been something.

right! I thought Rev was the first name, but I may have been muddling it with Stiv Bators.
I remember reading (I think) in Please Kill Me that audiences were openly hostile to Suicide. not punk rock hostile, but true I want to kill you while you mother watches hatred.

They were not an easy band to love, you could say that.
I couldn't listen to them, but then I didn't have the benefit of seeing them live in the early 70s. Maybe if I had...nah, I still wouldn't have been able to listen to them.
But I'm all for anyone who provokes an audience into any kind of reaction. Suicide, the original Stooges, Andy Kaufmann, Lady Gaga - you know they are on to something when you can't be ambivalent.

Happy to see that someone finally put some tracks from GAHV online. Last I checked, it was only available as a pricey Japanese import. Best EP of covers ever.
this one will probably make my year end list.

Who said Jazz has nothing to do with Rock and Roll. It sure is the Blues.

Just got into this, it's my second listening now and I love it. Very strong album. Thanks for the heads up, as I didn't know about this release.
