It is time to end the third Crimson album with the monstrous behemoth known only as Lizard. This is our longest episode to date, fitting considering this is their longest song. Hope you enjoy and be sure to email us at framebyframepod@gmail.com

We are back for the New Year! We have reached the soft ballad on Lizard, which we deem the calm before the storm.

This time we discuss the Beatles more than King Crimson diving into this infamous track from an infamous album. Hope you enjoy this one and we will see you in 2021!

In this shorter episode, we discuss the polarizing tune Indoor Games from Lizard. One loves it, the other hates it, who will come out on top in this fight for Haskell?

Welcome to a new album cycle! Today we start Lizard, one of Ryan's favorite Crimson albums and one of Avery's least favorite Crimson albums, who will come out on top of this argument in relation to the Scary Clown Music known to most as Cirkus? Stay tuned as we dive deep into the Jazz Maadness.

We wrap up King Crimson's second album with a remake of Mars known as The Devil's Triangle!

It's time for King Crimson's pop song(?) in the lovely jazzy song about hating processed food. We also discuss it's B-Side and if it deserves it's own episode. Gotta love that laugh!

Time for some more Mellotron goodness and we talk about what makes the title track such an interesting song in their catalogue! Ryan and Avery have a disagreement on this one, which should be fun to listen to.

Ryan gets to go off on his love for this Crimson Ballad while Avery quietly agrees and waits to complain about the singer in the next album. RIP to Gordon Haskell

Time to complain about NYC traffic as we discuss the heavy rocker on In the Wake of Poseidon. Is it just a Schizoid Man rip-off, or is there something more to this song? Hopefully we answer that question with some insight and entertainment!

It's new album time as we combine all the Peace songs into one glorious episode where we also give an overview of the second King Crimson album. *WARNING TO DGM SUITS* we mention file-sharing, please don't cancel us!

First in a series of title tracks, we discuss what makes this song so important and beloved to Crimson fans. Also, does Ryan give Jakko a compliment? Tune in and hear for yourself!

Things get dreamy and full of improv as we discuss the much maligned Moonchild. Who knows what our lovely co-hosts think of the song?

Things get interesting as we converse about this gem of a song. Warning, some politics are discussed!

The Fripp Dimension gets introduced by Avery as we talk about the gentle I Talk to the Wind. What is that you may be asking? Well watch the episode to find out, it may be amazing, it may be horrifying you don't know.

Starting off with a bang, we talk about arguably the most famous song in the King Crimson catalogue. Studio, live and even cover versions get discussed this time around. It's a big one, hopefully you enjoy!

Welcome to the trailer for the show! Here we introduce ourselves, our love for Crimson, and give you a taste for what's to come. Please, join us for the foreseeable future discussing our love of Boppin' Bobby.
