These photos are from our studio and were taken during last weekend's all-Zappa Lumpy Gravy Radio Show. Jane is bewildered, indeed.

Did we mention that we're renovating our studio?

Jane greets our valued shortwave listeners who checked in via e-mail.

An encounter with cosmikdebris, the host of the show.

Zappa Head

Posted at 11:36AM on Sunday, March 16, 2008 in area 51 and hf and lumpy gravy radio show and wbcq and zappa.

Back before we did a show for WBCQ, I did a handful of shows for Dr. Becker's FM station in Kiowa that featured Zappa's material. Four years later we've come full circle. Here's a mix that we pushed forth onto the airwaves at 2200 UTC on Saturday, March 15, 2008, on WBCQ 7.415 and 5.110 MHz.

After hours, we discovered that Brad has a better sounding and more complete soundboard recording of the Fillmore West concert where our feature "Call Any Vegetable" originated from. It is one of my all time favorite Zappa shows, and the original "tape that Jane used to use to annoy the neighbors." When we get a copy of Brad's tape we'll post it here for you, and maybe we'll air it on Area 51 someday soon.
