Greetings!
I recently acquired a nice, large stack of CDs from Latvia, so get ready for some amazing songs from our Baltic friends. I have new stuff from Zipper, Lambrini Girls, Layout, Rāde, Robber Robber, Suitor, Spiritual Law, Indikator B, Tiikeri, Pletyka, Pura Manía, and more.
I also have a song from the new album by Angine de Poitrine, and the hype they receive is justified. Finally, I have a cut from the 50th anniversary box set of the Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart album Bongo Fury.
I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at http://davidondandelion.blogspot.com
Enjoy the show!

Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart

Powered by Audioscrobbler™In 1975 guitarist and composer Frank Zappa asked composer and multi-instrumentalist Captain Beefheart to join him and his band on their 1975 tour. The tour resulted in the release of one album, Bongo Fury, which featured recordings from two nights in May 1975 at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas, as well as recordings from a Frank Zappa studio sessions in January 1974. This would be Zappa and Beefheart’s only true full-fledged release, though Zappa is credited for the production of Beefheart’s masterpiece 1969 album Trout Mask Replica and Beefheart has contributed vocals and various instrumentation to different Zappa releases.
