Found a song I really like on Spotify. Unfortunately the song is called “Chunga’s Revenge” and the album art features Frank Zappa at his absolute yuckiest lookin like he went to the portrait studio from Napoleon Dynamite

Frank Zappa - Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles, California, March 7, 1970

Over on Aquarium Drunkard, Roz Milner wrote up the latest archival Zappa haul — Funky Nothingness — which is kind of a lost Hot Rats follow-up. Kind of! As a bonus, Roz passed along this eeeeeessential bootleg from the same period. Take it away, Roz!

After breaking up the Mothers in 1969, Frank Zappa spent a few months away from the road. He sat in with a few bands — Captain Beefheart, Pink Floyd, Archie Shepp — but didn't play any gigs until Feb. 1970, when he put together a pickup band and played a show in San Diego. About a month later, he road-tested a group he'd been recording with in the studio: Max Bennett, Aynsley Dunbar, Sugarcane Harris, and Ian Underwood. They played a set of mostly new, mostly blues-based material: "Chunga's Revenge," "Directly From My Heart to You," and "Sharleena." These would all get released later in the year. But "Twinkle Tits," a waltz built around some themes he's repurposed for other songs, fell through the cracks. With a name like that, it's not hard to see why Reprise balked. But it's a nice vehicle for Zappa and Harris to stretch out on — it's too bad this one's got a tape flip right in the middle of Frank's solo. 

A few weeks ago, UMe released Funky Nothingness, a look at this period and an unreleased record that sat on the shelf for over 50 years. But for almost that long, the only glimpse fans had of this band was this audience tape. Indeed, I've heard it was the first Zappa bootleg — and there's more than a few of those. It's got a lot of ambience and with headphones, you feel like you're right in the room. Make sure you stick around for the encore — a (Beefheart-less, alas) jam on "Willie The Pimp."

Musically it's a gem . Package is not so shiny. Well , it's glossy & cardboarded . It's hard to get the CDs out without scratching or finger imprinting.

It opens up like a gatefold & then it opens again & the CDs are slid into the cardboard without protection. That's how I got my fingerprint.......& Scratches.

I wouldn't have been happy at full price with packaging. I paid 60 percent less.

But I got the music & guitar licks I was craving.

It's basically Chunga's Revenge material . I love that album & Zappa's guitar playing & tone from that era .

66-75ish guitar . After that it's guitar hit or miss .

Yeah oh , sheik yer booti guitar stuff does hit the spot & he technically got better (?), but the tones changed .

I like that fuzzy whah .

I didn't get the CD until after my sleep. Might be late for work ?

Probably not .

Time to kick off my top 10 Albums of the Year countdown with Frank Zappa’s posthumous Funky Nothingness. I usually kinda keep the archival and posthumous sorts of things out of my year-end list, but this one felt different. It’s a cohesive, fairly complete collection of material FZ recorded in 1970 as a sequel to Hot Rats. It’s jazz and R&B oriented and stars Sugar Cane Harris, and it serves as the missing link between Hot Rats and Chunga’s Revenge/the Flo & Eddie years. He was pulled away from the tapes to build and tour the second Mothers and never really returned to the project (though he did pull all the lead tracks off of I’m a Rolling Stone to make Stinkfoot from Apostrophe—go listen if you haven’t heard that, what a revelation). The sound on the vinyl is outstanding, and it very much feels like listening to a lost album as Zappa would have intended us to. So it makes my list this year. Incredible that on this, FZ’s 126th official album, there are still new surprises to hear.

User how many domestic cats are in the United States ChatGPT It's difficult to estimate the exact number of domestic cats in the United States since there is no centralized database or registration system for cats. However, according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), there were approximately 94.2 million pet cats in the United States in 2020. This represents an increase from 2019, when there were an estimated 88.3 million pet cats in the United States. It's worth noting that this number only represents cats kept as pets, and doesn't include feral cats or stray cats.

User How many feral and strya cats are in America ChatGPT Estimating the exact number of feral and stray cats in the United States is challenging since they are not owned and not typically counted in any systematic way. However, some organizations and experts have made estimates based on various studies and surveys.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), there are an estimated 70 million stray and feral cats in the United States. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) estimates that there may be as many as 30-40 million feral cats alone.

It's worth noting that feral cats are not the same as stray cats. Stray cats are cats that were once owned or socialized with humans but have become lost or abandoned. Feral cats, on the other hand, are cats that were born and raised without human socialization and typically avoid contact with people.

The overpopulation of feral and stray cats is a significant issue in the United States, and many organizations are working to address it through programs such as trap-neuter-return (TNR) and adoption initiatives.

While there is no way to know the exact number of stray cats in the United States, it is clear that there are many and that overpopulation is a significant issue. Many animal welfare organizations and shelters are working to address the issue through programs such as trap-neuter-return (TNR) and adoption initiatives.

User does Matt Bell play the electric violin ChatGPT Matt Bell is a musician who is best known for his work as the lead guitarist and vocalist for the band "The Wrecks." As far as I know, Matt Bell does not play the electric violin. While he is a multi-instrumentalist and plays several instruments, including guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard, there is no information available to suggest that he plays the electric violin.

User How many millions are in a billion ChatGPT In the United States and some other countries, a billion is equal to 1,000 million. Therefore, there are 1,000 millions in a billion.

However, in some countries, such as the United Kingdom, a billion is traditionally defined as 1 million million, which is equivalent to 1,000 billion in the US system. This difference in definition can sometimes cause confusion, so it's important to be aware of which system is being used when discussing large numbers.

User How many birds are in Ameica ChatGPT The exact number of birds in America is difficult to estimate, as it is constantly changing due to factors such as migration, breeding, and population growth or decline. However, there are some estimates based on various studies and surveys.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), there are approximately 800 bird species in the United States. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) estimated in 2011 that there were approximately 10.1 billion individual birds in the United States, based on data collected from bird surveys.

It's worth noting that the populations of different bird species can vary greatly. For example, some bird species may be relatively common, while others may be rare or endangered. Additionally, factors such as habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental threats can impact bird populations, making it difficult to provide a precise estimate of the total number of birds in America.

User what land animals descend head first ChatGPT There are a few different animals that are known to descend headfirst, either for safety or for hunting purposes. Here are some examples:

Sloths: Sloths are known for their slow movements and tree-dwelling lifestyles, and they descend headfirst when they need to come down from trees to reach the ground.

Kangaroos: Kangaroos are known to descend headfirst when they need to move quickly downhill, using their powerful hind legs to control their speed.

Porcupines: Porcupines are arboreal animals that are capable of descending trees headfirst using their sharp claws.

Raccoons: Raccoons are skilled climbers and are able to descend trees headfirst using their strong hind legs and flexible ankles.

Cats: Cats are also known for their climbing abilities and are able to descend headfirst using their sharp claws and flexible bodies.

Squirrels: Squirrels are able to descend trees headfirst using their sharp claws and strong hind legs.

Overall, many arboreal animals have adaptations that allow them to descend trees headfirst, either for safety or for hunting purposes.
