Yo' Mama

No.137, aired September 7, 2011, the sixth in the Orgazmo-Cozmik Ascension series (see no.123 for details), featuring Frank Zappa’s astral-incredible xenochronous guitar surgery in Yo’ Mama, plus the whole of side 2 of the Sheik Yerbouti album, which I am inclined to call the “castration suite.” And to enhance the mail castration anxiety in Zappa, strong female voices (Little Miss Higgins, The Pack A.D., American Flamewhip, L7) were heard throughout the program.
