Help me make a Zappa mix for the birthday girl! 
Because my brain is ouch this week and I am a lazy bastard, I need some recommendations for a Zappa-centric mix CD. Now, when you make your suggestions, keep in mind that this mix is for our very own VENDETTA/STYMIE/Ivy, whose birthday is today (so wish her happy birthday, dammit!). I have a fair to partly cloudy command of Zappa's catalog, and I also inherited just about every Zappa CD known to man, which lord knows I haven't had the time to completely dig through. I have faves from Freak Out, and my favorite era of his is probably around the time of Sheik Yerbouti/You Are What You Is, so left to my own devices I'm probably gonna put together a very late-70s heavy compilation. Can anyone help me mix it up with some early 70s gems or some 80s instrumental gems? Thanks in advance, ya motherlovers. | |

God Said Other songs I that like that I will add to my playlist are: Someday We'll Know (Hall and Oates with Todd on vocals.) The Last Ride The Waiting Game Hope this helps a little. carl cranshaw "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

Very nice TR list (especially the Nazz tracks). 
I'd be quite happy to contribute. It'll include more Utopia and other less played solo cuts. paligap would also be a valuable contributor. tA Tribal Disorder
