Today's Today

Tonight is Bummernacht - the end of the last day Frank refused to die, and the beginning of Zappan, which will culminate on the great man's birthday, December 21st.

HAPPY ZAPPADAN

TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE.

EXPECT MIRACLES

Bummernacht

Tonight marks the end of the last full day before Frank Zappa would finally stop poking Death in the eye.

Zappadan begins tomorrow at 6pm, and runs until December 21st, which uninformed normal people mistakenly identify as the Winter Solstice.

Now, they're not wrong, you understand, but that's the day Zappa was born, so shove over a little bit, pagans - Frank is here.

Happy Zappadan

Expect Miracles

Today's Today

Tonight, we celebrate Bummernacht - the ending of the last day Frank Zappa simply refused to die.

This marks the beginning of Zappadan - The Festival of Frank - which ends on his birthday, December 21st, when the pagans and the Christians and all those other posers take over. 

"Without music, time is just a series of

production deadlines,

and dates by which bills must be paid."

Happy Zappadan, everybody. Expect miracles.

Tonight's Tonight

Today's Today

Today is Frank Zappa's birthday, marking the end of Zappadan; a day of reflection and celebration and feasting - and over-indulgence, if that's your gig.

And The Magic Begins

Last nite was Bummernacht, the last day of Frank Zappa's earthly tour.

And today begins the annual celebration of Zappadan, a time of mystery and magic and the vague sense of dread that all the wrong people are watching and listening to be sure all the right people stay in their assigned places. 

And it culminates with the rebirth of the sun - and freedom - on December 21st.

At The End Of Bummernacht

On this, the first full day of Zappadan, let's give a close listen to Joe's Garage.

Headphones on, everybody - here we go. 

(that oughta keep ya busy for a few days trying to figure that shit out)

Happy Zappadan

"Some people say" that the Miracles of Zappadan stuff is a buncha hooey, but I disagree. During the first Zappadan in 2006, John Bolton resigned. Then the year after that, Sandy Underpants went to the registry of motor vehicles during Zappadan and got a new license plate with no lines, no waiting, and free donuts. All I can say is, it's Zappadan - Expect Miracles.

Hot Rats --Frank Zappa

Happy Zappadan

Tonite (Bummernacht) marks the end of the 21st year since our dearly demented Brother Frank split the scene.  And tomorrow begins Zapandan 2014.  Blessed be the Sheiks and the Weasels and the Pygmy Ponies, and all the rest.

There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another. --Frank Zappa

Happy Zappadan, Everybody

Expect miracles.
