Zappa & Peaches and Regalia

Because we haven’t had any Zappa since . . . Since . . . Since a coupla days ago.

From Hot Rats (1969). I’m genuinely surprised that Hot Rats is a 60s album. There must be some kind of mistake. This is firmly entrenched in my mind not just as a product of the 70s but the very embodiment of the 70s.

One of Zappa’s great instrumental pieces. Full of whimsy, mock epic exclamations, kooky cornball twists, and a surprising amount of warmth and nostalgia.
