    Was it just 6 years ago that Dweez and Ahmet weren't letting family squabbles boil over into gross nonsense? Gail certainly wrought one hell of a shitty situation (now is that a real hologram, or a Sears hologram?)

        Well, you enjoy it then. I won't hold it against you. Personally, you'll find me down at the bar in New Haven paying $5 for the next Z3 show, or at Project/Object if Ike and Ray ever go out again

          This would be so very Zappa though. A bad hologram of Frank Zappa playing for cash? It's one of the Zappiest things ever.

            It's like alternate world version of Joe's Garage, right after Joe joins the Church of Appliantology, he goes to see the band Sy-Borg who is fully licensed Sears hologram of Joe & co in the Garage.

            I think we just improved the second act, hahaha

    One of my friends and I have an ongoing discussion that has spanned well over a decade, in which we make claims about the best covers of all time. I claim that I have won, as I introduced him to Frog Leap Studios which I have posted about several times here. His entry as "best cover of all time" is this one - the Zappas covering Britney.

    This is a fantastic cover, and is certainly (to my ears) better than the original. It's delightful, keeps the things that make the original catchy, but add so much more.

    Shoutout to @demifiend for inspiring me to post this.

      I'll save this for later, just in case the lyrics are NSFW.

        The autoplay went into Tenacious D + Dweezil Zappa playing Crazy Train. Not the best recording in the worlds, but it was pretty delightful.

          Nice. I usually keep autoplay turned off. I don't trust Google's algorithms.

          Genre swap covers are one of my favourite genres of music - this one was particularly good.
