Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
Been wigging out to this today.
I’m pretty sure that’s Jack Bruce playing that awesome fuzz-bass despite his dubious claim in a later interview that he played cello on this!
#nowplaying Inherited from my dad’s collection. Hank’s solo album from 1969. I feel like I’m in an Austin Powers movie :-)
From a recently rediscovered recipe in the St. Austell Brewery vaults from, yes, 1913. Complete with spooky, Omen style shaft of light!
Juliana Hatfield - When I Grow Up, A Memoir
I’ve been a fan of her music for ages and like much of that this book is wonderfully open and honest. For me this was an almost perfect follow up to reading Susan Cain’s Quiet with Juliana very much coming across as an introvert drawn to what is essentially an extroverted way of life as a performing musician. I honestly can’t remember the last biography I read that struck so many chords (sorry!) with me.
Besides, any book with a chapter called My Idol that is about Paul Westerberg has to be worth reading, right?
