R
6:39Ryan RichterHOST
Yeah.
N
6:39Nate MercereauGUEST
Yeah, it's, it's, it's lining up, but in a s- just a slightly different way, where I was, like, kind of discovering my dad's record collection, which was, like, uh, Yes and Frank Zappa.
R
6:49Ryan RichterHOST
Hmm.
N
6:50Nate MercereauGUEST
And then I would look into who played on, like, the Zappa records.

And, and, you know, that there are people who deliberately don't want to sit at the cool kids table who become cool kids, you know, like, like Patti Smith and, you know, Nirvana and those people.
N
20:11Nadine WhitneyCORRESPONDENT
I mean, Frank Zappa, who knows? Whatever's going on with Frank.
N
20:17Nadine WhitneyCORRESPONDENT

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar Album Review
M
71:11Matthew James DerzikHOST
Well, I'll start where you left off, because I noticed that Scream 2, and you're right, it does flow perfectly in from these walls with Screaming in a Hotel Room.
M
71:23Matthew James DerzikHOST
And sonically, it kind of reminded me of a track we've talked about before on this show, particularly the final track off of Frank Zappa's Freakout, which was Return of the Son of Monster Magnet, where you get the same sort of...
M
71:40Matthew James DerzikHOST
I thought that's what I thought of when I first heard that, but your description of it being the screaming of a hotel room, that is much more apt to... what the song is also um shout out to Kamisi Washington uh for playing sax on this song um he is a very very very good sax player and had done a lot of work with Thundercat uh so to hear him on this album is just a treat and he just does a wonderful performance uh throughout um

Bob Mould on Sugar's Reunion: "House of Dead Memories" and the 40 Watt Club Origins (Encore)
B
17:46Bob MouldGUEST
You know, it was, you know, is, it was David Bowie's Sound and Vision.
B
17:50Bob MouldGUEST
Uh, it was the, the, the Zappa catalog.
B
17:53Bob MouldGUEST
Uh, you know, they were more of, they were more of a reissue or legacy label, I guess, at the time.
B
17:58Bob MouldGUEST
So, um, they, you know, may- they were maybe less proven in, in, in breaking a, you know, a new indie rock band than Creation, but Ryko did s- a great job.
BARRY SUTTON - Beatnik Hurricane
B
19:15Barry SuttonGUEST
That is the so- You know what? All them cunts that Mark was talking of, you know they're paranoid as fuck going, "He means me.
B
19:21Barry SuttonGUEST
They're onto me." Zappa's like that though, I think.

P
19:40Paul HanleyHOST

B
19:41Barry SuttonGUEST
You know what's a good example of it, 'cause I know Mark likes Zappa and all the fucking rest of it.
B
19:45Barry SuttonGUEST
On, uh, We're Only In It For The Money, "Who Needs The Peace Corps" 'cause it's, it's anti-hippie.

It was released in 1977.
P
69:57Pete LozanoHOST
Is it what Tangerine Dream did all of their scores on? I'm not sure, but I know that Frank Zappa, Michael Jackson, Sting, Depeche Mode, they've all used this instrument.
P

That all tracks.
M

J
19:54Jim DeRogatisHOST
This is like prog rock in some way.
J
19:58Jim DeRogatisHOST
This is partly like Beefheart or Zappa does contemporary dance pop.
J
20:06Jim DeRogatisHOST
It doesn't sound like anything else I've heard.
J
20:08Jim DeRogatisHOST
And I'm really curious to see what other listeners to Sound Opinions are thinking of this.
