Mixed Meters offers you ways to waste your time at warp speed. Hang on.
The first one comes from Guinness and Cream Cakes. It was described (in jest I hope) as the first rap song. It's from a 1936 movie called Night Mail with music apparently written by Benjamin Britten after he returned home from a performance of Facade.
Here's another video found at Guinness and Cream Cakes. Martha Argerich plays the Scarlatti Toccata damn fast!
I found Guinness and Cream Cakes via Violins and Starships. Until now, Mixed Meters has never mentioned Guinness except on Bloomsday.
Finally here's some Zappa music with frantic imagery.
I found this one at Andrew Durkin's Jazz: The Music of Unemployment I'd like to tell you that these are the sort of images Frank would have liked - but I'll have to check with Gail first to see if that's still true.
In which I blather about Scarlatti - one of my favorite composers.

The Zappa music being a section of Little House I Used to Live in, from the album, Burnt Weeny Sandwich.
Here are two renditions of the fabulous lyrics from two live versions of that portion of the song...
Little House I Used To Live In
(Live, Fillmore East, 1970 version)
His penis is a monster
His penis is a monster
His penis is a monster
monster dick, monster dick, monster dick, monster dick... (repeat)
(Live, Fillmore East, 1971 version)
Ya-ya ya-ya-ya ya-ya
Ya-ya ya-ya-ya ya-ya
Ya-ya ya-ya-ya ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya ya-ya-ya ya-ya-ya ya-ya-ya
(repeat)
Hoopla!
Oink! Oink!
La la la la . . .
Aah!
and so on... proceeding into the Mud Shark dancing lesson.
