FREAK OUT! Frank Zappa has finally arrived, back from the dead, in full force, streaming like there's no tomorrow! Yet there are so many tomorrows, it will take you days to listen to the 52 Frank Zappa albums live in Rhapsody! From classics like Apostrophe/Overnight Sensation, Weasels Ripped My Flesh, The Grand Wazoo, We're Only In It For The Money, to the introductory jammy Hot Rats, and the collegiate classic Sheik Yerbouti.
There is also no shortage of live material, from the classic Live Mothers from the Fillmore East in 1971 to Zappa in New York, as well as "the bests things on there" (according to The 'yellow' Shark), the You Can't Do That On Stage series, including (Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5, Volume 6). But if you can only listen to one thing right now, listen to my favorite guitar solo of all time, the "Watermelon in Easter Hay" from Guitar, Disc 2. Get sucked in and Sheik Yerbouti! Comments:
...and don't miss my favorite Zappa show (ok tour compilation) of all time... The Best Band You Never Heard In Your LifeMind Blowing Sick Shit!!!

My Morning Jacket
Best enjoyed in the 54 minutes before sunrise, Summer in Abbadon has equal parts soft breath and raucous screaming, layered guitars and vocals that somehow equal something larger and gorgeous. This is a magical record, one of the best of 2004, and I believe Pinback's best effort to date. "AFK" will make you think twice, it's elusive and thoughtful. What a great record.
It's a flawless album, LP has the mark of a great album - no matter my mood, I can pop it in and listen to it straight through, start to finish. LP was my number one record of 2004. "Stay Where You Are" and give it a spin, also "Stay Tuned" for we hope there is more to come from Ambulance LTD.
You're only making this list if your album is stellar from start to finish. The 2003 release of Penturbia somehow eluded me until two years later, but I'll never forget it again. I love my canoe, and you too. It's one big world and one small me. When will I come to terms that the only constant thing in life is change? Every song, so good. Hear it.
See where genre-defying innovators The Slip started it all. This is the very sophisticated debut album created by three teenagers from Providence, R.I. Gecko features classic instrumentals "Munf," "Yellow Medicine," "Cumulus," and "Spice Groove," as well as lyrical favorites "Alsoa" and "The Weight of Solomon."
The first Ben Folds Five album is a masterpiece. This is a top ten record of all time for me. BF5 features the classics "Underground," "Best Imitation of Myself," "My Philosophy" and "Alice Childress" - honestly, every song has it's own merits, I never get sick of this piano pop record.
The final Pavement album is in my mind, their best. Before yoiu S&E purists bash me, go back and listen to the record. TT is a masterpiece, the songwriting is poetic and disturbing, but you'll never know until you dig deep. This is a lesson in how relationships end, some are pleasant and others are painful. If you are not grabbed by the pop beauty of "Speak, See Remember" or "Major Leagues" then dig deeper and read into "Bilie" or "Folk Jam" - just don't 'waste your precious breath explaining that you are worthwhile.'
The second BHTM album was recorded on a two track in basements in the midwest and the raw, underproduced sound has helped it stand the test of time. Even after fifteen years of years of regular listens, this record continues to shine brightly like "city burning like a dream" or like the light from a tower in the distance, just "broadcasting it's resistance through the rain and through the night. Listen, and you will believe that "yes indeed, there is a paradise...and a band is playing there."
