Frank Zappa’s famous warning is wise, but don’t let it scare you off from eating the good, white stuff. Snow ice cream is a great recipe for kids: cheap ingredients, no cooking, big payoff at the end, long-lasting memories. (I remember having some circa 1975.) You can look around on the Web for a recipe if you [...]

By: Josh Stone Once upon a time, music played for free on the radio. And you could record a cassette if you wanted to, and you could listen to it as many times as you wanted to, and nobody thought you were a pirate if you shared it with your friends.

So my main man Mike Masnick – he of Techdirt fame has been paying a lot of attention to music recently. When I came out earlier in the week in favour of everyone taking a much closer more constructive look at collective licensing, he said (because he is the consumate professional arguer): ” However, I have [...]

Jason Gross’s Best Music Scribing Awards Essay ” Covering the media now is like working in the obits section of a small town paper—you know, or know of, everyone that’s gone and it kills you to write about it. Not that it’s been much jollier for the last few years, but even when one disastrous year after another happens, you’re still amazed at how worse things keep...

Here's a very interesting audio interview of Frank talking about improvising on guitar. The stuff toward the middle of the clip, about the open tonality of intervals, is something I've been having lots of fun with, and am really excited to hear FZ talk about. Really makes my day! I've really been getting into simple chord & interval voicings, and discovering how they can expand the sound. What...

I feel especially qualified to write this Winter Olympic Snowboarding Preview, because I am an avid snowboarder. I have "snurfed"-- the original term for snowboarding-- mountains from the West Coast to the Middle East. I have dropped into the back bowls of Winter Park, hiked to the back-country at Copper, carved the Sierra cement in Nevada, stormed through the deep powder gullies of Faraya,...

One of my favourite stops during NAMM was at the Performance Guitar booth in Hall E. I’ve heard of Performance for many years and I know that both Frank Zappa and Steve Vai were early fans of the company, but apart from playing one for about 30 seconds at a guitar clinic by Aussie shredder Joe Cool when I was about 16, I’d never seen one close up
