Holiday Hits for the month of December

The Torture Never Stops

Frank Zappa's The Torture Never Stops DVD is now available in general release. Previously it could only be ordered at the Zappa website. I went for it a couple years ago but it was sold out at the time. The film is made from a couple of NYC Halloween concerts that were originally shown on MTV. I remember seeing this at a friends house and being insanely jealous because I DIDN'T HAVE CABLE YET. This is a treat for fans of late 70's /early 80's Zappa, so if you think You Are What You Is is the GREAT CONCEPT ALBUM THAT I DO then this DVD is for you. Not a lot of oldies here (a nice version of Montana) but mostly IT'S THE NEWER STUFF! Zappa plays the perfect singer/emcee/conducter here with a few extended guitar breaks. The band is an equal mixture of humour and chops, especially notable is Steve Vai on guitar and "vocals." MY ONLY COMPLAINT here is that it's HALLOWEEN NIGHT and GOBLIN GIRL didn't make the cut. I know they played it, it can readily be found on YouTube. My advice is: BUY THIS DISC! and for EXTRA BONUS TRACKS search the web.

Yesterday's News TODAY - Bush & West

George Bush does not hate "Conway" West

I don't usually follow this sort of thing but why should Kanye West apologize to George Bush? If Bush thinks the Kanye incident was the worst moment in his presidency he better take another look. As for the Today show, they were trying to force Kanye's answers. I don't understand why they are still talking about this.

NEW SONG - the last to know- HEAR IT HERE

Hey! it's (another) holiday weekend

Now Showing on YouTube

Sue and Lou

Much has been made of Susan Boyle's attempt to sing Lou Reed's Perfect Day on America's Got Talent.

She's from Scotland.

The song, however, will be appearing on her upcoming album Christmas Album

The Gift.

No, she will not be covering the Velvets song of the same name.

Perfect Day is the single and is now available for download at iTunes.

You Better Pawn It, Babe

The same week that Justin Bieber made his acting debut on CSI,

Bob Dylan made a surprise appearance on The History Channel's Pawn Stars.

An advanced move for sure.

Was this setup? Is Bob a big Pawn Stars fan or did the genius Chumlee really track him down? Spontaneous or staged, it made for some entertaining television.

ESPN MUSIC

The Doors Of Perception Are Closed

This film was supposed to be the antithesis of Oliver Stone's The Doors but every time I catch a glimpse of Morrison smiling or laughing and see a different side of his personality along comes Johnny Depp's narration to tell me what to think. The new footage is enough of a reason to watch this documentary but they still didn't get it right. Next time, if there is one, the filmmakers should take a cue from The Kids Are Alright and let the music (along with original interviews) do the talking. A full song performance would speak volumes over a Mr Mojo Risin segment (unfortunately, already told on Storytellers). The Doors songs are great. The spoken word, not so much.
