‘The lyrics are derived from Zappa's belief that people who make laws are sexually maladjusted. It starts as a general attack on suburban American society: TV, greed and conformity are all mocked openly. The story then moves to a city hall official fantasizing about having sex with a thirteen-year-old girl.’
At which point you hear a voice saying ‘Only 13, and she knows how to nasty!’ and you realise this could be band-member Roy Estrada, now in jail until 2036 (no parole) for underage sex offences. The rug is totally pulled from under your feet.
Had no idea about Roy Estrada - a real slimeball.

A bunch of tunes as I play them out on Purple Radio

Today it's from downtempo house to groovy Japanese minimalism, via a couple of tracks from the new Leslie Winer comp; probably ending on the track that Keiran Hebden says gave him the template for Four Tet.

Sinatra - Basie, A Musical First, centurymasterworks, on red vinyl. It has two extra tracks, duplicates of Pennies From Heaven nd Nice Work If You Can Get It, both with Nelson Riddle, 1956. I bought it to see how it compared to my CD version, which unusually doesn't have any additional tracks, but no loss.
Both sound excellent.
Tchaikovsky 1812, Capriccio Italien, and Marche Slave, Kenneth Alwyn and LSO. A Decca issue, from Speaker's Corner, also great recordings.

ONIPA - "Tales of Utopia"
"Tapes of Utopia harks back to a time of African cassette tapes sold on street markets, a reimagination of mixtape culture blending analogue tones of Afrobeat, Highlife and Soukous with Afrofuturism, rap and electronics. Tapes of Utopia symbolises a time when technology was decentralised, a vision of utopia where humans are liberated by safe technology that benefits the people not the elites." It's a lot of fun too!
