MOFO!

Got the new Zappa CD today that was ordered months and months ago. It's a 4 disc special edition available only through Barfko-Swill, and it arrived today. MOFO stands for "Making of Freak Out!", and this marks the 40th anniversary of that first Mothers of Invention album.
Anyway, haven't given the whole thing a listen yet, but thought I'd post pics of the cool packaging and the credits (of which I am included).

Here's the front of the closed package:


Here's the back:


The next four are of it opened, one disc at a time:

And finally, here's the part of the credits with my name:



Anyone who preordered this early enough got their name in it. Also, notice the name in the upper left corner of the pic above.

Almost forgot!

One year, eight months, one day, 18 hours smober.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Just wanted to wish you all (what...4 of you?) a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in case this is my last blog of 2006. Considering my usual posting frequency, that's very likely!
Here's an oldie but goody to get you in the spirit. Val and I are going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra (the music behind the video) on Thursday. Should be an awesome show, and a great way to end a great year of concerts!

Happy Holidays!
