Comments on this: 2 so far. Add your own. Frank Zappa is a musician/composer I seem to appreciate more and more as time goes on. In fact, below the break I'll include the first time I actually heard his work--and it wasn't even him. Oh sure, I had heard "Dirty Love" and "Yellow Snow" and all of the novelty-esque bits that you sorta can't help but run across. But it took a bit of time to start to delve and find some fantastic stuff. Starting away from the music, here he is on What's My Line? I love the way he and the host devolve into film geekery. Awesome. Direct link for the feedreaders. Found via Classic Television Showbiz. Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. So Bill Corbett (he of the Rifftrax, yes) posted this on Twitter: a Kabuki version of Jesus Christ Superstar. This clip is from an older production, apparently, but check it out anyway: Direct link for the feedreaders. I don't know about you, but I would watch the hell out of that. It looks fantastic. It reminded me of the recent touring version (with the movie's Ted Neeley still playing Christ) that I saw with Corey Glover, he of Living Colour fame. I wondered if I could find any video of that, and... Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: just one. Add your own. A documentary about street musicians around the world looks like it's going to be amazing if it spawns something like this, in which a musician in Santa Monica lays down the main track and then buskers around the world join in and jam out on Ben E. King's "Stand By Me." Ken shared this via Twitter and it is fan-freaking-tastic. Direct link for the feedreaders. The CD/DVD is available for pre-order here for $9.99. And I can't wait to see it. Their website is here. And I've embedded the trailer below. Enjoy. Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Kutiman is apparently an Israeli DJ (I say apparently because his site is being destroyed right now by traffic) who has taken a slew of YouTube videos and sampled/remixed them into a series of seven badass jam/songs that he calls "Thru You." It's fantastic and a pox upon Doc for sending this to me and blitzing my productivity for the rest of the afternoon. I think it's like Danger Mouse decided to taken on the entire goddamn Internet. Doc says, "He's taken my belief that YouTube's best function is for finding talented unknown musicians, and followed it to the logical extreme. YouTube is the best unsigned act in the world." Here's all of the songs in a single playlist for your convenience. Check them out. Let me know what you think. Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: Music
