Git Beats Feat. LadyBug Mecca "America"

Joe Sedelmaier/Laura Kightlinger April 30 2009

Last night I saw some short films and a tribute to Joe Sedelmaier at one of DFW's film festivals (third coast, baby!) Laura Kightlinger had a new short that was excellent. The best part was seeing her wearing a mask so she didn't have to risk breathing the same air as us DFW movie goers. I have to say she looked way better in her mask than MF DOOM. Here's a spot to show some love for Sedelmaier. Don't think you could air this ad in today's American ad market. Just say no to swine flu and always wear a rubber.

Never Black, no longer young but still backed by the Bomb Squad. They kind of lost whatever remaining credibility they had when the second LP's big single was "Tap the Bottle", a celebration of drinking out of the bottle complete w/ instructions.

Lumpy Gravy 1968

From wikipedia - Lumpy Gravy uses sound effects and dialogue to link highly dissimilar musical themes. Some orchestral parts have a jazz-like feel while other sections show tonal and atonal classical music influences. On first listening, the album may appear to have no musical structure. But after repeated listening the album's unique flow begins to make more sense. Zappa's first instrument was drums. Through careful attention to rhythm, dynamics, pacing, and technology, he was able to bring sound elements together in a way that was almost without precedent. The closest parallels would be cartoon music soundtrack recordings of the 1930s-1950's, such as the work of Carl Stalling, and the music of Zappa's favorite classical composer, Edgard Varèse. Zappa also acknowledged the influence of John Cage in his use of random and chance processes. While editing the work Zappa randomly strung together some blocks of recorded material. Other Zappa albums such as Läther use these types of musical elements in a similar way. But the radical nature of Zappa's musical structures are at their most extreme on this album because Lumpy Gravy is composed of many short segments.

Duodenum, also known as "Lumpy Gravy Main Theme" was probably recorded at Zappa's own Studio Z, which he operated in Rancho Cucamonga, California, circa 1963-1964. This tune was originally written as the theme for Zappa's unfinished 1964 film project Captain Beefheart vs. The Grunt People. The 'surf music' style ending of the album was also recorded at Zappa's Studio Z. The blues harmonica fragment, "Another Pickup", comes from a 1966 live recording of The Mothers of Invention at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. Sounds of bells, coughing and "snorks", recorded in New York City, were leftovers from an animated television commercial for Luden's cough drops. This advertisement, called "The Big Squeeze", won Zappa a Clio Award for sound in 1967. Though Zappa was not credited as a performer on the disc, he probably did play guitar and percussion on some of these additional recordings.


There are several thematic and musical links between Lumpy Gravy and We're Only in It for the Money. Both have extensive use of dialog, editing and musique concrète. On the back cover of Lumpy Gravy, Frank says in a speech bubble, "Is this phase 2 of We're Only in It for the Money?" The 'surf music' instrumental finale appears in a vocal version on We're Only in It for the Money under the title "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance". One short orchestral section of Lumpy Gravy was also used in the song "Mother People" on We're Only in It for the Money.

We're Only in It for the Money 1967/1985

When this was released on CD in 1985 the censored bits from 1967 were restored but all new rhythm tracks were laid down as well. ... so it's not OG but still pretty good. For those that slept, Zappa was a sampler long before hip-hop. I'd like to think if he were still with us he'd be making lots of cash from those sampling his original work plus backing some massive cross-genre pieces. Since we'll never know, don't sleep.
