Lotta good info here. Also you forgot to put a * in front of the King Crimson and Motorhead!

Thanks, Christopher! That’s true, I could’ve highlighted those too. I think my mind was sticking to the new music, but those are certainly important classics!

I had the same reaction about the Tool festival! Palm trees and beaches don’t seem like the most logical setting for their music 😂.

Having said that, I have only attended one of these types of events (Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky), but it was a great experience

Right?! I’m trying to imagine the guys in cargo shorts, flip flops, and Hawaiian shirts and I just can’t do it. It’s like some weird Jimmy Buffett crossover visual and I just can’t shake the feeling that something feels off about it. Having said that, I also can’t picture Wilco in such a setting either, so…

Two things. Firstly, “I am not aware of it and don’t really give a flying fuck.” Thom is the man. Secondly, “Suzy and I are aware you added us to your weekly playlist and we do give a fuck” Zappo is the man.

Haha thank you, my friend! Indeed, Thom is the man. And you and Suzy are the absolute coolest. It was a pleasure to be able to include you on the playlist and, as I told Suzy, I do plan to write a review of the song as well. I just ran out of time this week and didn't get to it yet. But I will!

Another very interesting ZappaGram!

Keep up the good work, keeping music us all better informed!

I also have noticed the increase in new music releases! It makes it more difficult to decide which ones to listen to. Thanks to your recommendations, it's easier to prioritize the ones that I listen to first!

Thanks, buddy. I’m glad I started adding the little recommendation symbol on those new releases!
