With three days to go before Zappa Plays Zappa starts a three month tour that will take them to Europe and back they have finally settled on a new lead singer to replace the flaky Ray White. Dweezil Zappa shares the amusing story of how Ben Thomas won the gig on the ZPZ Tour Blog.
Zappa Plays Zappa spends May and June in Europe but they’ll be back in the States starting with a show at the Bardavan in Poughkeepsie, NY on July 1.

If you’re looking to waste a few minutes this morning head over to UMapper to play the 30 Historic Phish Venues Game in which you try to peg the location of 30 famous places the PH has performed. For hardcore phans, test your hand at the Phish Venue Masters Quiz which doesn’t give you the name of the venue just a clue. These entertaining quizes were put together by TMWSIY. I scored 241,986 on the master’s quiz, how’d you do?
