Dweezil pays hommage to his pop on this very good tribute album. Nice to see that Gail is being a good mom and not threatening Dweez with a lawsuit for 'covers that don't maintain the composer's original intent', like she does to everyone else...

Zappa, Frank - Roxy : The Movie Blu-ray + CD
One of the most sought after and wished for archival releases finally squeaks out into the world *only* 42 years after being shot.

All of this is undoubtably true, but the good news is that you would never, ever know from watching this that there were...

Zappa, Frank - The Dub Room Special! DVD
This is especially noteworthy for the 12/1974 KCET broadcast, which featured the amazing, amazing animation of Bruce Bickford. You haven't ever seen anything like it. This was once available as a very hard to get VHS tape only via mail order.

This special edition contains both a CD...
