LATEST UPDATE 6/25 – Frank Zappa – Dumb All Over
GUITAR: EchoOfMystery
“Dumb All Over” was one of the last songs from what would become the 1981 album You Are What You Is to be written. It filled a gap between “The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing” and “Heavenly Bank Account” in a suite that was already being performed live in 1980 and would end up, with this extra song, as sides three and four of the two-LP set.Like the two aforementioned songs, “Dumb All Over” addresses the subject of organized religion. Over a repetitive but catchy up-tempo vamp, Frank Zappa recites a rhyming monologue. His voice is altered with a flanger and a vocoder — it sounds deranged and insistent, perfect for this anti-preaching preach, and somewhat similar to “I’m the Slime.” On-stage the special effects were dropped and the vocal part became a rap. The message is simple: Why make differences on the count of race or religion? Everyone is all equal in their dumbness. Religious fanatics, televangelists, and Jesus freaks are no better than anyone or the people they try to convert, sometimes with deadly means (religious wars). Their call to arms is ridiculous at best, dangerous at worst. Zappa concludes that since God made everyone all in his own image, “If we’re dumb/Then God is dumb/(An’ maybe even a little ugly on the side).”The rise of televangelists, Christian fundamentalism, and Republican ideals in the early ’80s scared Zappa. While “The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing” is a cynical look at the people who believe preachers and give them their money, “Dumb All Over” attacks more directly the work of those preachers and the propaganda they disseminate.LATEST UPDATE 7/1 – Canada Day 3 pack

I have a last minute update to an old favorite coming this weekend. This one was long overdue.
I was hoping for a second you’d be adding pro keys to Arcade Fire’s Reflektor, but then I checked and it’s not one of your customs. Eh…

Weekly installments from the bizarre world of Frank Zappa starting next friday. I want to thank the awesome collaborators making this possible with their generous contributions.
LATEST UPDATE 7/4 – Chicago – Saturday in the Park UPDATED
GUITAR: nsw1-6
STANDARD KEYS: anglebracket
UPDATED 7/4/2020: It’s been a long time since this one came out and boy have my charting skills improved. Every part except the keys has been fixed. Since it’s Saturday and the 4th of July you might as well spend it in the Park.

” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” /> I have been playing this and I thought it was fine as-is. I am curious on what you think Pro Keys still needs. I have only played expert but I noticed in C3 tools that lower difficulties have more notes, so I peeked in Reaper and saw that lower difficulties chart a different instrument at times?
PS I am also a fan of Zappa, but honestly I think it’s too difficult for the game, in fact few customs have Pro Keys charted.

When I opened it up I saw the abomination that was my bass charting 5 years ago. The vocals were passable but definitely not great. Now it’s as good as it’s gonna get. As for Zappa yes it will be difficult more often than not on all instruments but that’s the fun of it

” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />Well I made manual Pro Keys reductions for Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow, I can make the same for Saturday in the Park. Let me know if you’re interested or if I should just keep them for my own use.
