About: Joe's Garage

An Entity of Type: television show, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Joe's Garage is a three-part rock opera recorded by American musician Frank Zappa in September and November 1979. Originally released as two separate studio albums on Zappa Records, the project was later remastered and reissued as a triple album box set, Joe's Garage, Acts I, II & III, in 1987. The story is told by a character identified as the "Central Scrutinizer" narrating the story of Joe, an average adolescent male, from Canoga Park, Los Angeles, who forms a garage rock band, has unsatisfying relationships with women, gives all of his money to a government-assisted and insincere religion, explores sexual activities with appliances, and is imprisoned. After being released from prison into a dystopian society in which music itself has been criminalized, he lapses into insanity.

  • Joe's Garage is a three-part rock opera recorded by American musician Frank Zappa in September and November 1979. Originally released as two separate studio albums on Zappa Records, the project was later remastered and reissued as a triple album box set, Joe's Garage, Acts I, II & III, in 1987. The story is told by a character identified as the "Central Scrutinizer" narrating the story of Joe, an average adolescent male, from Canoga Park, Los Angeles, who forms a garage rock band, has unsatisfying relationships with women, gives all of his money to a government-assisted and insincere religion, explores sexual activities with appliances, and is imprisoned. After being released from prison into a dystopian society in which music itself has been criminalized, he lapses into insanity. The album encompasses a large spectrum of musical styles, while its lyrics often feature satirical or humorous commentary on American society and politics. It addresses themes of individualism, free will, censorship, the music industry and human sexuality, while criticizing government and religion, and satirizing Catholicism and Scientology. Joe's Garage is noted for its use of xenochrony, a recording technique that takes musical material (in this instance, guitar solos by Zappa from older live recordings) and overdubs them onto different, unrelated material. All solos on the album are xenochronous except for "Crew Slut" and "Watermelon in Easter Hay", a signature song that Zappa described as the best song on the album, and according to his son Dweezil, the best guitar solo his father ever played. Joe’s Garage initially received mixed to positive reviews, with critics praising its innovative and original music, but criticizing the scatological, sexual and profane nature of the lyrics. Since its original release, the album has been reappraised as one of Zappa's best works. (en)
  • Joe's Garage: Acts I, II & III es una ópera rock del músico y compositor estadounidense Frank Zappa. El álbum tiene a Ike Willis como la voz de "Joe", un joven que se adentra en el mundo de la música. Zappa pone la voz a "El escrutador central", una voz mecánica que narra la historia y persigue la psique de Joe. El álbum, en un principio, se editó en dos partes, la primera de ella siendo un LP sencillo del acto primero, y la segunda un doble LP con los actos 2 y 3. Los tres actos después fueron editados de forma conjunta en una caja recopilatoria, y después en un doble CD. Los temas del álbum son mayoritariamente sobre las chicas que persiguen a los músicos (groupies), la burla a la cienciología, fetichismo, bandas de garage, y sobre todo, la censura a la que se tenía que enfrentar la música. Joe's Garage es particularmente notable por el uso de la técnica de xenocronía, que consistía en tomar solos de guitarra de álbumes anteriores y superponerlas a las nuevas canciones en el estudio de grabación. Con la excepción de "Watermelon in Easter Hay" y "Crew Slut", todos los solos del álbum se consiguieron de esta forma. (es)

  • Joe's Garage: Acts I, II & III är en satirisk rockopera från 1979 av Frank Zappa. Operan handlar om Joe (röst av ), en musikintresserad tonåring i en amerikansk förort som genom sitt garageband bevittnar korruption i musikbranschen. De huvudsakliga teman som finns i berättelsen är sex (t.ex. groupies), depression, kärlek till musiken och framförallt censur. Detta sista skulle Zappa senare kämpa emot i form av gruppen . Bland annat teknikfetischism, skivbolag och scientologi förlöjligas. Mycket av handlingen förmedlas av en berättare, en viskande moralist spelad av Zappa själv, med namnet "The Central Scrutinizer" (sv. "Den centrala granskaren"). Dess uppgift är att i förväg upprätthålla lagar som inte har antagits. (sv)

  • «Joe's Garage» (повна назва: «Joe's Garage: Acts I, II & III») — рок-опера на 3 дії Френка Заппи, випущена 1979 року. Назва дослівно перекладається як «Гараж Джо». Джо — головний герой цієї рок-опери — музикант молодий «гаражної» групи (тобто репетирувала в гаражі), що волею-неволею проходить через міазми шоу-бізнесу. Заппа озвучує персонажа з механічним голосом «Central Scrutinizer» (дослівно: центральний доскональний дослідник), виконує функцію оповідача. Спочатку рок-опера був видана двома випусками: перший акт вийшов платівкою як «Joe's Garage. Act I», а другий і третій вийшли подвійним альбомом «Joe's Garage. Acts II & III». Всі три акти були згодом видані разом як і комплектом з двох компакт-дисків. (uk)

  • Eventually it was discovered, that God did not want us to be all the same. This was Bad News for the Governments of The World, as it seemed contrary to the doctrine of Portion Controlled Servings. Mankind must be made more uniformly if The Future was going to work. Various ways were sought to bind us all together, but, alas, same-ness was unenforceable. It was about this time, that someone came up with the idea of Total Criminalization. Based on the principle, that if we were all crooks, we could at last be uniform to some degree in the eyes of The Law. [...] Total Criminalization was the greatest idea of its time and was vastly popular except with those people, who didn't want to be crooks or outlaws, so, of course, they had to be Tricked Into It... which is one of the reasons, why music was eventually made Illegal.
