"Yoda." It was on his twitter page.

Slowpoke, is that you? There's a whole topic about it

I'm confused - Al says that "Foil" music video is up for a couple Webby awards, but I scanned through the categories and I can't find any other nomination aside from the one in Al's link... What did he mean by "couple"?

Online Film and Video: Music
Online Film and Video: Best Individual Performance

Oh, thanks, I missed that one

Can anyone explain this one? What do these men in dresses have to do with Mothers Day?

That's a picture of Frank Zappa and his band, The Mothers of Invention

Greatest band ever!

Definitely. I love their music so much. It's amazing how many different styles they covered over their years together. Everything from rock, to funny music, to instrumentals, to jazz...

Maybe I should look it up some time, at least for educational purposes. I only know Zappa is that person who's style is used in "Genius in France"

You definitely should! If you want a recommendation, I can give you some records of his to go off of (I have a list of what the best introductory albums are for each of his different styles).
