from Oannes *

Μια από τις εναλλακτικές σκέψεις για το Συνθέτη Του Μήνα ήταν ο Frank Zappa – πολλά posts με κομμάτια του υπάρχουν ήδη στο blog, μπορεί κανείς να τα βρει πληκτρολογώντας το όνομά του.
Θα ακούσουμε βεβαίως και αυτό το μήνα δική του μουσική, ξεκινώντας με το ιστορικό σόλο στο ‘Watermelon In Easter Hay’. Από τη μεγαλειώδη rock opera Joe’s Garage, κυκλοφορημένη στα late ’70s σε δυο συνέχειες.

One of the alternate thoughts for Composer of the Month was Frank Zappa – many posts of his pieces already exist on the blog, one can find them by typing his name.
We will of course hear some of his own music this month, starting with the historic solo on ‘Watermelon In Easter Hay’. From the magnificent rock opera Joe’s Garage, released in two sequels in the late ’70s.

❝ This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER
Joe has just worked himself into
an imaginary frenzy during the fade-out of his imaginary song
He begins to feel depressed now. He knows the end is near. He has realized
at last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the mind
of the imaginer.
And ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway? (laugh)…Excuse me…so who gives a fuck anyway? So he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo… ❞

Enjoy!

As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ [why comments are closed here], so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the song!
