Lived there too, from '95-'98, though I managed to live in a house where the most I paid was $285, on Oak between Buchanan and Laguna, when the Central Freeway was still there. Now, of course, it's ridiculous...
Rent is expensive here, but in downtown LA there are still SROs and dingy old apts, we have only begun to gentrify. SF is saturated, there is no poor part of town.
Never lived in LA, but a lot of the most formative music and films for me are LA-based, the whole 80s LA hardcore scene, plus movies like Repo Man, Pulp Fiction, Chinatown, and Mulholland Drive.
That is an amazing video. It's amazing how different species seem to know how to ask eachother for help. A cat once stopped me and tried to get me to cut out a knot -- it kept shoving the knot into my hand when I would try to pet it. Strange cat, it also posed for this pic: 31.media.tumblr.com...
You can see how much fur there was to get matted.
Hey DJs, all: ever heard of Stony Island, a long-neglected 70s film about a struggling Chicago funk band? Great movie, leads all played by real funk musicians, all music, far as I can tell, recorded live:
I bought that Les McCann CD (Swiss Movement) 16+ years ago at a famous Manhattan record shop: The Colony on B'way at Times Square. Anyone remember that store? They had so many great hard-to-find titles in stock before the internet days. Thanks for playing it; brought back so many great memories. I heard fmu play that record when it was first released back around 1973 I think. I love it when fmu plays those old hits from yesteryear.
Hi mariano, yep, you're right about things changing fast. The Colony was located on the northwest corner of B'way and 49th. Do yourself a favor and go to this site to read about The Colony. It might make you cry, but if you went there like I did, you will cry. Go here: nypost.com...
No please, @CD: living here is heartbreaking enough as it is! Used to work at 1585 B'Way. Will go to the site though. In other news: I'M THE SLIIIIIIIIME!!!!!
No you're not, mariano, I am. Ever see FZ perform that song on SNL? He had this huge TV on stage that at the right moment, hundreds or thousands of gallons of this disgusting slime poured out. It was absolutely great. I have it on dvd if you need it. You should try to view it on YouTube if it's posted. Greatest Slime performance ever!
No way, @CD! I remember, as a kid, seeing Zappa performing "Dancing Fool" live on SNL, but never "I'm the Slime." Thanks a mill for pointing me in the right direction. Btw, ever see Zappa in '63 on the Steve Allen Show?
Mariano, what a wonderful experience it was to view that video; no, I've never seen it before and can hardly wait to share it with other FZ fans. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed it and laughed out loud. Wonderful!
Love it, as a Southern Christian, when people like me call Jews antisemites. And I'm from Louisiana! I remember well the Duke run for Gov! What hypocrisy.
Hey Mariano, recently, while listening to fmu, I've heard SOMETHING regarding Zappa Plays Zappa but I don't know what it was in reference to. Can you or anyone help me? I think I heard Irene Trudel talk about tickets to Zappa Plays Zappa but that tour is over so I don't know what it was about. Any help from anyone?
Mariano, I don't know; all I heard was ZPZ and tix for Friday but that tour is over. Not a problem, I'll just listen to her show again on the archive. It was a great show anyway and definitely worth hearing again. Thanks for the turn-on again.
@CD: yeah, you too! Brought back some memories, that video. Write Irene -- in my limited experience FMU DJs are very cool about writing back, especially about music matters.
