The 100th Zappa album on its way

"The 100th Release, Produced in it its Entirety by FZ, will be available to order next month on Zappa Records."
This is the message from Zappa.com. Has to be the long awaited Dance Me This album which Frank Zappa described as follows to Guitarist Magazine in 1993: "a Synclavier album which is designed to be used by modern dance groups."
There are rumours that the music may include contributions by Spoonman, some members of the Tuvan singers and keyboardist Mats Öberg. Öberg recently told the Swedish Broadcasting that he was very excited to find out if Zappa had used some of the things he played for Zappa back in 1991, on the album.

Zappa.com also mentions a new Vaulternative Concert "in your near future", the celebration of FZ's 75th anniversary of his arrival on this planet, and that ROXY the Movie has been sent off to SXSW for consideration for their Film Festival.

Bob Dylan's The Basement Tapes Complete coming this November

The legendary and much bootlegged Basement Tapes that Bob Dylan recorded with The Band in 1967 will finally get an official release November 2014.

The description promises a 6-disc set including 138 tracks compiled from meticulously restored original tapes. A 120 page deluxe-bound book containing rare and unseen photographs and memorabilia plus extensive liner notes.

Looks like the perfect XMas gift for those that got the 47 disc Complete Album Collection Vol. 1 last year.

1970's hit machine pondering comeback

Quote:

"Too poppy for prog rock, too glossy for heavy rock, too unstylish for glam rock and just way too over the top for punks."

Who are we talking about? Electric Light Orchestra and Jeff Lynne! Who according to this article in the Telegraph made a great return show and might be tempted to make a comeback.
