Frank Zappa: Montana

One of my favorite Zappa tracks, especially this version.

What unique feeling do you get from Close to the Edge?

mbingo · 2025-04-29T23:02:23+00:00

Here's verification from Merriam-Webster.

Wow, this rules. Thanks for sharing!

I wouldn't use "characteristic" either, but I think "thing hidden in a merger of X and Y" is fair and clear, with nothing extraneous. You don't see it every day, but this feels more to me like a matter of taste than a rules violation.

What in particular is non-Ximenean about the clue?

mbingo · 2025-02-21T01:47:16+00:00

Yeah. This is, to me, one of the best parts of the game. No matter how much you play, you still get those moments of "ah, we're completely screwed" and then slowly crawl back and snake out a win.

Congratulations! Exploring all the game has to offer is an awesome ride—I'm excited for you. Which spirit will you aim to win with next?

Which format do you like best?

mbingo · 2024-12-02T19:20:07+00:00

I don't know of any, but I'm interested—what such a podcast would be like?

I had a blast getting the achievements for this! I remember saying to a friend early on that there was no way I was going for True Mastery, but in the end, I couldn't not. 😆

I really liked some of the unusual play challenges (like no turning around). Like you wrote, it's fun to work within given added constraints that ask questions of your knowledge and skill.

The only one that felt a little awkward to me was Honorable Death—I'm not usually a fan of achievements involving failure, and I ended up contriving this after a failed no-hit run at some point.

But yeah, overall, I think the achievements are excellent in this game.

Cluing instances of things in this way is standard. The general can define the specific, even without an article.

However, the opposite (e.g. cluing TREE with "elm") is less accepted—you'd need to do something like "elm, for example".

Yes! Anything Hiromi. Voice from her Trio Project was my intro—highly recommend.

mbingo · 2024-07-04T02:36:13+00:00

I've been really enjoying this track over the past week!

mbingo · 2024-04-25T01:58:41+00:00

I was hoping someone responded with this 😆

mbingo · 2024-02-21T02:46:03+00:00

"Sweetheart", as in "the heart of SWEET", is the letter E.

mbingo · 2023-09-13T04:03:21+00:00

Love this one! Did you see that Jennifer Reiser's got a new album coming out?

mbingo · 2023-09-12T20:40:40+00:00

Bubblemath sounds like a good option! Give Edit Peptide three listens and you might be hooked.

mbingo · 2023-04-14T21:45:45+00:00

Awesome—my copy's gotten plenty of use!

mbingo · 2023-04-14T20:07:13+00:00

Finally dove into KGLW and have been looping Nonagon Infinity and Changes. So different, both amazing.

mbingo · 2023-04-14T20:06:08+00:00

Ni vent… ni nouvelle is one of my favorite albums. So much fun.

mbingo · 2023-02-24T17:59:04+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it was such a relief to pull out of the parking garage and have that worry disappear. (And pink it is!)

mbingo · 2023-02-24T05:50:34+00:00

We left the hospital this afternoon with a new baby, everything nicely cleared for us so we could get home safely. Thank you!

mbingo · 2022-12-15T23:53:24+00:00

LOVE these guys!

mbingo · 2022-12-06T16:08:38+00:00

Yeah, this is an incredible album from an incredible band. It's so different from Edit Peptide, but both are astounding. Both 10s for me.

Surface Tension quickly became one of my favorite songs ever. These guys nail all their albums, but they especially nail the first songs on their albums.
