just imagine how much work was put into composing an epic concept album like this. only frank could pull something like this off.
did i tell ya i hung out and smoked a joint with ike (the thing-fish) after a zappa tribute band show in asheville? of course i did. like five times.
"… mixing the shit with the mashed potatoes done smoothed it out a little… so’s it wouldn’ kill your ass, but it sure would make you ugly. and if you was already ugly, it’d make your ass mean and ugly…’
"… well, dey’s too damn excited ‘bout de sissies dey was knockin’ off, ‘n workin’ up an uncreedable variety of theoretical scenarios, to explain away how come de fagnits all be croakin’ at de same time in - NOVEMBER!
De month o’ NOVEMBUH, reekin’ of tainted CO-LOG-NUM! Dey booked in de heavy pseudo re-LIJ-mus talent to pronunciate de doc-TRINE of BIBLICAL RETRIBUTIUM!
Moving the project forward…"
i heard a cover of ‘dance on a volcano’ from the ‘trick of the tail’ album earlier this morning that fucking blew me away. but i forget the guy’s name so i can’t find it. he converged like three genesis songs together into one supersong and didn’t miss a lick a doing it.
here’s a wicked 9/8 meter for ya…

“evel knievel ain’t got nuthin on me”
it’s 8:30 at night. melania is seated alone by the fireplace in a burgundy silk robe, drinking a glass of cabernet. the rain patters lightly on the window pane as she gazes out onto the whitehouse lawn. the security lights show the perfectly manicured grass, a rich green fescue. a deep, bourgeois sigh escapes her lips and she thinks of don… of how it used to be… of how it is now…

these guys have hands down the best drummer Ive heard, not necessarily as evident in this track as elsewhere but still not too sloppy.
This is a Magsj song, impress your friends:

because yes its a bouzouki too…btw Chiotis once went head to head with Jimi …with Jimi stating that the title of best string artist should go to Mano and not Jimi.
Pax et sana
hendrix was most likely just being modest and paying respect to another guitarist. really though the styles are quite different and i doubt hendrix believed anyone (at the time) was comparable to him and how he played.

fun fact. at 4:27: “… never hear surf music again…” this was a nod to dick dale when hendrix found out he had cancer.

… at 4:00 god declares that he shall destroy the earf. ain’t that some shit?

I invite you all to listen right to the end…not everyones cup of tea to be certain, but my glob this man had fingers forged by some divine maniac…
As for Misirlou is was originally recorded in 1927 in the hash and opium dens of Athens, some of which still exist today. I reference Dick Dale’s version cause of the bouzouki, which I am partial to on account of my heritage.
