No this is genuinely not a joke. This is what I ACTUALLY saw when searching for FrippâŠ
For context I work at my momâs store and me and this coworker talk about music a lot, I had listened to court a few times but like only a few songs from it. Anyways a few weeks ago he was like âhey I have this painting tapestry thing thatâs finished in wax itâs of the king crimson album artwork do you want it?â I obviously said yes and itâs beautiful! I have no idea where this was acquired and I have a suspicion it was maybe painted by him as he graduated art school haha anyways itâs amazing and Iâm trying to find a spot in my room for it!

I have the physical scorebook, but does anyone know if there's a pdf somewhere?
This is a fucking AMAZING TU performance from 2004, they do a crazy amalgam of Larks 4 and Red at 57:00
I was listening to Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With / Level Five and I came across "Einstein's Relatives." It has to be one of the strangest of King Crimson's songs. Those lyrics and vocals... Any opinions?
I bought it for 20$ cad at my local record store was that a good price? I canât find my exact one on Discogs cause of the disc 3&4 insert missing. Huge fan of this era!! I almost got the lp of the bbc performance but it came in a pvc sleeve so I didnât haha, It comes with all 4 volumes.
Am I having an acid flashback? Iâve been waiting a long time for one of those.
(THIS IS JUST MY OPINION)
I listened to Larks' Tongues in Aspic for the first time yesterday, and was completely absorbed in the elaborate instrumentals and layered percussion. And then "Book of Saturday" kicked in. It seems so out-of-place with those lyrics (I'll be waking up the crewmen / Banana-boat ride / She responds like a limousine / Brought alive on the silent screen) and the rather boring instrumentation (well, compared to the other tracks). Is there something I'm missing? Was the song a result of some "off-screen" thing I'm not aware of?
A few of us got together in NYC last Summer to find a path towards performing the material from the album in live settings.
After a week of rehearsal and a couple of small private events, we concluded that yes, the material is overdue to be performed, long overdue given that there wasn't a supporting tour when the album was originally released.
Our first performance, like our first group rehearsal, is happening in NYC, which given the source material, seems appropriate.
