But this third volume in the double-disc Collectable King Crimson...
Although Les Crane had a long career in the United States as a confrontational radio and television host, he won international fame for his smooth-voiced, highly sentimental narration of "Desiderata" in 1971, a New Age anthem that he grew to hate. He preferred the parody of his record, "Deteriorata", voiced by Norman Rose for a National Lampoon album.
The tantalisingly titled Dragon Sauce (who according to my weblogs is something to do with White Denim's UK record label www.fulltimehobby.co.uk) has this to say regarding my slight dissing of their band, White Denim: "Sounds to me like you're scared...
I just love creating a slipstitch heel, particularly in handpainted yarn. Perhaps I am simple, but I love watching the color variations emerge as the heel flap grows. Yep, I am turning the heel on the first Halcyon sock. Excitement abounds! By the way, I sent a whole scad of patterns to Sheri last week, so (as I [...]

Three Japanese bands, in their own ways, do 21st Century Schizoid Man total justice. Here's the string orchestra Seasons, with their impossibly gorgeous take on the King Crimson classic. Below, a punk band named Z.O.A. and a rock outfit called Ninjen-Isu both take the original up a few notches. I don't know what it is with the Japanese, but they really, really get this song. Maybe their
Robert Fripp released his Red album in 1974. Along with In the Court of the Crimson King, it is one of my favourite albums by his band. The last track of this LP is “Starless”, a song often mistaken with a track from King Crimson’s previous album: “Starless and Bible Black” from Starless and Bible [...]
50. Indiscipline - King Crimson. "I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress..." Tom, my boss at FantaCo, described this song as his description of the store. Last song on the first side of the Discipline LP. Feeling: feeling: feeling: feeling: 49. Would I Lie To You - Eurythmics. There's the insistent beat, the horns, the vocals, the guitar line, specially on the bridge....
This song by King Crimson features the immortal lines: "No use to complain/If you're caught out in the rain;/Your mother's quite insane./Cat food cat food cat food again."2 Cool for CatsSomething to sing when you're posing down the pub, by Squeeze. Bonus points for being a cat-tastic song that goes interspecies when the singer gives the dog a bone. Though that could be a euphemism.3 Who Let the Dogs...
It’s time for another installment of “My First Time,” an interview series that asks some of my favorite bands to recall some of their musical firsts. This time we’re joined by the eclectic band Au, who were kind enough to answer some questions. Their record Verbs is currently available everywhere fine records are to be [...]
Chris Blackwell is often regarded as synonymous with Bob Marley and rightly so: it was Blackwell who saw in him the potential to grow from a relatively small-time Jamaican artist into a worldwide superstar.
Live at the Pier, New York, August 2, 1982 is the 37th entry in a series of King Crimson Collectors Club releases from DGM Mail Order which, along with the download-only DGMLive, has been documenting King Crimson's five touring incarnations from 1969 through 2003 with archival live releases (a new line-up is preparing for a brief tour in August, 2008, celebrating Crimson's 40th anniversary; what's...
