"Sad paper courtesan. They knew him just a man." -> King Crimson King Crimson's second album... "In The Wake Of Poseidon" (1970)...was initially met with disappointment by many fans/critics. But listening to this album with fresh ears...nearly forty years after its release...I find it inspiring and a great follow-up. Plus the music holds my interest all the way through...something...
David Byrne and Brian Eno in a new collaboration, how cool is that. When I was in college I fell into a crowd of hyper-cool musical aficionados who one night, under the influence of some musical-appreciation substance, spun for me three licorice pizzas under a memorably full moon that shaped my tastes forever: Robert Fripp’s [...]
It's rare that an album of outtakes and rejected music not only succeeds, but actually hangs together as a cohesive work in its own right. As the only member of 21st Century Schizoid Band (performing late-1960s/early-1970s-era Crimson repertoire) who wasn't a King Crimson alum, Jakko M. Jakszyk not only handled the daunting challenge of Crimson co-founder {{Robert Fripp = 16099}}'s guitar parts, but...
I’ve been an on and off fan of David Sylvian for the past 20 years or so and it now seems that he has a new album out - Manofon, not that you’d notice as it doesn’t seem to be advertised (or played) anywhere and only made it onto his website a month after its release. This still is from a video of one of the tracks, Small Metal Gods - play it and try to count the tiny, spooky planes;...

A couple of weeks back I had the pleasure of half an hour’s telephone interview with Toyah Willcox for a forthcoming magazine feature, which gave me the opportunity to ramble around Toyah’s classic output and talk to her about her current project, the vocals and bass focused trio The Humans. Toyah’s publicist was kind enough to send over copies of The Humans’ debut album We...
King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King (40th Anniversary Series) Discipline Global Mobile 2009 It was, quite simply, a sound that shook the music world. When King Crimson emerged from the dust of the considerably more oblique and largely absurd trio of Giles, Giles and Fripp--whose one release, The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp (Deram, 1968), was aptly titled--nobody could have...

Music. Specifically, right now, the music that's scrolling through my little hand-me-down iPod. My iPod is not fancy ~ it's an aging Nano that one of my kids upgraded from ~ but when I'm standing in front of a sink (and countertop and baker's bench and stove) full of dishes at the end of a long day and the last thing I feel like doing is getting busy with the sponge, a little music makes all the difference....
