POPULARITY
I'm always in motion, but I'm not going anywhere. I'm still the opposite of Ben when I think about it. He's everywhere and all at once, and so busy, and the scurrying barely stops. I mean, I almost wonder if Ben is real when I stop to think about it. I never see him. I feel like I imagine I hear him as much as actually hearing him, but yeah, the proof of him was definitely on display for a time. And the echo of him sure seems real. I feel like he and I have worked a pretty good system on this place now too — he's probably more likely to be fully enjoying the run of the joint when I'm out. So I'm trying to go out more. But I also know I'm going nowhere very quickly.Bought a copy of Gravity's Rainbow from a secondhand store, and I take it with me most places. It's good. I mean, I am reading it, I do like it, I do get it, and all that. But it's also a book most people you meet have no fucking idea about, or the idea they have is it's too big for them, so I am able to bullshit about it with just about anyone. It's the Ulysses for Generation X. Basically. I must remember to tell a bunch of people that, and with the conviction that's my own idea too.Hannah was in my dream last night. And I've had the dream before. About once a week I'd say at present. I run to her at the tree. I get there in time, but I call her Anna, she shakes her head as if to say that's not her name, so the query cannot be for her. And I wake with her in the air, the rope around her neck. It's got me drinking breakfast beers, at least when I have leftovers. I shouldn't drink before lunchtime, or even before dinner time, but at least I'm too embarrassed to take my car anywhere, so I'm not in danger of driving again. Instead I load up my Discman with this great new album, Rocket by Primitive Radio Gods. No one knows it, which is exactly why I love it. At best, people seem to know the single, Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money In My Hand. Feels like a metaphor to me. Or just a scene I'm constantly walking right through. I first heard it in the movie Cable Guy, and it was perfect, if not that noticeable to many. But how could you not notice and love that song when it's riding on a sample of B.B. King's How Blue Can You Get? Only thing about relentlessly listening to this song is it's not all that great for my mood. I start thinking about whether I'm gonna bump into Joolz, or Anna for that matter. Or that fucking girl that was with Esther and Liz. I mean I don't think she knows I even exist, but yeah, I would say something now. I know I could. I'd ask her about Gravity's Rainbow. Show her my book, which is so well-thumbed. Could even make out it was new to me, and it's my constant re-reading that's made it look all old and nearly ruined. Slick. I'm'a do that for sure. Will and Glen want me to go record shopping with them, so I walk along with my Primitive Radio Gods, and I listen to Phone Booth three times, then skip it forward to Who Say, which is basically a different band, even though it's actually the same one guy making all of the music. Sounds like Supergroove or something. I like it. But I'm telling myself I love it, just so I can have something no one else holds on to. Album of the Year I'm deciding. No one will pick this. But I am. Inside the store, Will's got all these old prog-rock records for a buck each, Genesis and King Crimson and CAN. He holds them up one by one, for me to say yes or no to.The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. Genesis. “Yes.”In The Court of the Crimson King. King Crimson. “Yes.”Tago Mago. CAN. “Yes.”Tales From Topographic Oceans. By the band Yes. “No.”Well it gets a laugh from Glen. But then, “You're a fucking snob, Jimmy. Wannabe fucking snob.”“I'm not a snob, I just think Yes is the fucking pits. And Jon Anderson sounds like a frog. I mean, fuckssake, if you're gonna buy that you might as well buy a Rush album.”“They're only a buck,” Will says. “So I think I'll just get it anyway, eh.”“Fine. What would I know,” I say. “Indeed”, Glen says”. And he's laughing.“Well,” I say, “I would know that if you're going to get anything from 1973, it better not be a fucking Yes record, and it absolutely should be a Thomas Pynchon novel.” I'm reaching for Rainbow from my backpack, and Will has his hand reverse-cupped across his forehead. Glen is just laughing even harder. “Fuck up about that fucking book,” Glen adds. “Just because you can't read,” I say.“I can read a room though,” Glen bats straight back. Can't lie. This lands. I think he can even see that I'm wounded. Slightly. “Fuck man,” I'm searching, buying time. “Fucking hell you dick, I mean shit, my fucking girlfriend killed herself.”“Oh yeah,” Glen says. “But do you need to tell everyone you meet this instantly. And also, where is the evidence of this mate? I mean, tragic fucking story, but seriously, it's like you kinda turned it on to suit, there's no photos of you, no one to back you up on this. I am not saying it's not sad as hell. It is. But there's a weird angle too, if you're grafting yourself to the story a little more than is true.”“Cunt!” I had nothing. That was it. I walked straight out of the store, and straight into Joolz. Head down, and angry. Me, that is. I just ploughed into her, and of course, I say sorry. She looks up, deer frozen for a second. “Joolz!” I say. She pulls free from my very loose grip, my hands on her shoulders, apologising, gently holding her to make sure she's steady. But nah. She's having none of this. She shakes her head, as if I've got the wrong person, puts her head down and walks fast. I take three steps after her then stop. “Bitch,” I shout. And then instantly feel like a fucking dick. At the bar, I'm lining up a beer and a bourbon. Americans call it a Boilermaker. I call it necessary. I hit most of the beer in one big slug. Then down the shot. Then back to neck the end of the beer. How is this happening to me. Why am I going everywhere and nowhere all at once and never? How am I the rocket falling in my own story? “You look glum?”“Thanks,” I say. “At least I'm doing something right, I suppose. Like, I feel like I should look glum.”I know she's paid to talk to me, but still. The barmaid says, “What's that book you got there? Is that gonna cheer you up, or is that what's making you sad? It looks,” she pauses, “huge!”It's on the tip of my tongue to say thanks for noticing, but I'd only fuck it up. “Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon,” I say. No insight, no joke, no nothing. Just title and author. “Oh, I've heard of that,” she says. And I don't believe her. “Want another combo,” she adds, gesturing to the two glasses. “Tell me about the book,” and she's already turning her back to refill the bourbon shot.“It's pretty dense, right. But it has a real humour to it, also a real metaphysical fatalism.”“A meta-what-now?”“If they get you asking the wrong questions, then they don't have to worry about the answers.”“So that's a wrong question then?”“No no, sorry, that's pretty much a line from the book. I mean not verbatim, but close to it.”“So you're a sad guy, but a smart guy. Reckon you can actually explain to me what the book is about there, smart guy?”“Classic paranoid countercultural stuff, high brow, low brow, the works. It's a book about everything. And nothing.”“Well,” she says, putting the pint down next to the shot of bourbon, “It should really be called Rainbow's Gravity shouldn't it? I mean that's the pot of gold weighing it down, eh?”“Oh my fucking god. It's about rockets. That's the space rocket's arc. The rainbow. It's a metaphor. It's not really about density. The only density in the book is what you're bringing to it. And it sounds like you're bringing a lot!” As soon as I've said it, I think about how I botched every aspect of that. I'm a boring, rude cunt, and I cannot flirt. What the fuck was that?“Hey, sad cunt? Drink your drinks and fuck off, okay?”“Look, my girlfriend, she, um, she ah she took her life…”“Is that because the only other option was having you being a patronising jerk to her? I don't believe you. And I'm not going to serve you. You're done. Finish that and piss right off okay. And I'll tell my partner about you. So fucking watch it.”The bourbon goes down easily and immediately, but I take one swig of the beer and it just feels off. Not the actual taste, but I can't be here. I push the stool back, and it clatters to the floor, my feet vaguely caught in it, I nearly lose my balance. “Get walking there, class act,” the barmaid serves a different kind of shot. “Look, I'm sorry,” I say. And I'm already walking.“You sure are,” she says. All but spitting the words at my back. I've turned and walked, and I'm not looking back. I stand outside and count the coins from my pocket into my hand, and then back into the other hand. I take the Primitive Radio Gods CD out from the Discman and file it in the case, and put it back in my bag, and grab Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily. I can't hear that Broken Phone Booth song again anytime soon. I'm basically standing there as if I'm in the song. As if the song is me. My life. My mood. The sum of it all. And I need to keep moving. I kick at nothing, as I walk the streets wondering where to go. And yeah, I skip straight to Carnival.Sounds Good! is a reader-supported publication.

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is #3 in my series of progressive rock by artists not normally associated with progressive rock. We will see how in one way or another the influence of the progressive style for composition and performance has had a far-reaching influence, despite all the hatred from the music critics. So, sit back and take in sounds that are just a little bit different, both from the usual course of progressive rock and from the usual music these artists offer. In addition, I have an In Memoriam feature for keyboardist Christopher North. All that, plus news of tours and releases on Sound Chaser. Playlist1.

Nat and I stick around in the shadowed recesses of Black House for another half hour, to discuss all the things that Chris got right and wrong – and to make some entirely unfounded claims of our own. It's overflowing with spoilers for the whole Dark Tower series, so don't listen if you're a newbie. We start to ask who is the Crimson King? Would Roland and Jack have gotten along? And we get very grumpy about certain wolves in a certain town further down the road. Enjoy.

I commit to changing my life, Before it changes me. My greatest excitement and deepest passion, Is the fuel that will set me free. ☉Hola New Paradigmers! Mother nature is such a teacher. I sat on the bank and watched the river flow after finishing Pele. First I saw a floating branch slowly making its way upstream, caught in an eddy. Yes, in the river of life there are eddies and if we're not careful we can get caught in them and go around and around and around getting nowhere. All the while the "river of life" is right there next to us taking everything downstream! Next, I saw a duck swimming up the rapids. I wondered if he was having "fun." One way or the other, he was PUTTING FORTH EFFORT. There are places in the river (times in life) where the river widens, it's called flat water. In the flat water you have to either swim harder or paddle harder if you want to get anywhere. Other times there are rapids where you just kick back and let the river take you. Just like the river of life there are times when we can kick back and times when we have to swim hard. Oh yeah, the third... RAPIDS! I feel like we're coming out of some flat water, it's starting to speed up and we're entering the rapids. In rapids it's not about just floating or swimming, it's more about precision navigating. We've got to be on top of our game, alert, ready to kick, push, back paddle, you name it. If we've done it before and have some experience it is a lot easier and can even be a fun, wild ride. If not, there's not much time to learn and we best give it all we've got, hope and pray, breathe, and try not to swallow too much water. We'll make it, some with more bumps than others, some that can help others, and some that can't wait to do it again. Since we're all here together on planet earth at this time, I think we're the latter. Blessings on your swim! Court of the Crimson King: https://youtu.be/lrsW--Sh7YE?si=Jm_KLXqJnYBY3zPjSo Much Love,Kaypacha

Face the Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast
After the revolutionary In the Court of the Crimson King in 1969 King Crimson did a tour behind the record, which was a hit in the UK and a cult favorite in the U.S. Problem was, by the end, Robert Fripp and Pete Sinfield were the only full-time members left in the group. Fripp was able to talk Greg Lake, Michael Giles and Peter Giles to return to record In the Court of the Crimson King, but the tour would lead to a new lineup. Meanwhile, their second album became their highest charting in the UK, and was a sign of things to come.
For the end of Season 6, we talk about a groundbreaking album in the world of Progressive Rock, the debut album of King Crimson, 1969's 'In The Court Of The Crimson King'.

This week we're discussing every album by King Crimson from 1969 to 1974. Led by the legendary (and partially insane) Robert Fripp, King Crimson is one of the pioneers of prog rock, as well as one of the wildest and most influential bands of all time. This era of the band chronicles some of the most memorable albums in all of prog rock. But be warned, this is not a band that welcomes everyone. The insanity is real.Closing track” One More Red Nightmare” from Red (1974)Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike's EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Mike on Instagram @pandermonkeyAlex on Bluesky @octatron3030Tom on Instagram @tomosmansoundsHistory Tom's stuff:Music on Spotify, ApplePodcast on Spotify, YouTubeSubstackWebsiteMike's Picks:In the Court of the Crimson King (1969) — Best AlbumRed (1974) — Personal FavoriteLarks' Tongues in Aspic (1973) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:Red (1974) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteIslands (1971) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…In the Court of the Crimson King (1969)In the Wake of Poseidon (1970)Lizard (1970)Islands (1971)Larks' Tongues in Aspic (1973)Starless and Bible Black (1974)Red (1974)

We've developed our On First Listen series to give us a chance to explore albums that we didn't know but had heard about for years. Maybe a friend recommended it, perhaps it was popular at a time in our lives when it slipped past us or maybe we'd seen in on all-time lists. King Crimson's debut fit into the third category as many progressive rock fans hold In The Court Of The Crimson King in very high regard. And with many talented line-ups over the years including Greg Lake on bass & vocals, Ian McDonald on keys and many other things, and Robert Fripp on guitar on this album (with future versions featuring John Wetton, Boz Burrell, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew, Mel Collins and many, many more) we figured we'd give it a go. However, while the musicianship is off the charts and they experiment with many keys, times and toys (the new mellotron was driving much of their experimental sound), sometimes it's not terribly listenable. 21st Century Schitzoid Man is abrupt and in your face as a protest to the Vietnam War but isn't a toe tapper. The wistful I Listen To The Wind is 180 degree turn as a lovely ballad but is more than 6 minutes long. And Epitaph, Moonchild (nothing like the Iron Maiden song) and The Court Of The Crimson King though they have moments of beauty and style fail to land in the fun zone. While many will appreciate the music for it's complexity and degree of difficulty, it's not an album you put on in the background of a party. Perhaps our blues based rock brains aren't mature enough to understand but we find 70s era Yes and Genesis far easier to digest and enjoy. Note: We recorded this a year before releasing it as we planned for it to be our first On First Listen but scheduling necessities caused us to leave it on the shelf. We mention that it's 54th anniversary is coming up but as we release this it's the 55th anniversary of original release. And it was before we interviewed director Toby Amies about his fabulous documentary King Crimson: In The Court Of The Crimson King for episode 158.

Since the critics can't seem to get enough progressive rock, they are reviewing In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson. Nerds unite! This episode features a ravenous parody of a rock'n'roll classic.
Your hosts the 21st century schizoid men invite you to meet them on the desert shore to hear what they make of Christa Paffgen's difficult third album and the King Crimson record that may well be to blame for inventing prog rock. Do they have time for such Fripp-ery?

Send us a Text Message.On this weeks episode, we discuss King Crimson's 1969 debut: In the Court of the Crimson King. Not only is In the Court of the Crimson King regarded as one of the greatest and most influential progressive rock (or prog rock) albums of all time, it is considered by many to be the album that defined the genre. Like all prog rock musicians, Robert Fripp, Greg Lake, Micheal Giles, and Ian McDonald all know their way around their instruments. But what makes King Crimson stand out from those they would influence, and what makes this album worthy of a listen, is that the band never lost the sight of what made a song a song; they weren't interested in excessive musicianship over musicality, and most of In the Court of the Crimson King is hauntingly beautiful. Based on the band's live performances, established artists such as Pete Townsend and Jimi Hendrix sung the band's praises before the album was ever released. Their performance in front of an estimated 500,00 people in Hyde Park on a bill with the Rolling Stones in July 1969 reinforced that King Crimson was a band to watch. When In the Court of the Crimson King was release later that year, songs like title track and "21st Century Schizoid Man" laid down the foundational building blocks for progressive rock for years to come, and cemented King Crimson as one of the most influential bands to come out of the 1960s.

The ‘eater of worlds' is a composite creature hell bent on consuming all life and all good in the world. Many know this monster as the Crimson King or Pennywise, both Stephen King characters, but their essence can also be found in the recent portrait of King Charles, which also features, by mirroring and flipping or applying filters, something clearly unsettling. Some see Baphomet, but this composite has horns pointing upward and is not representative of the demonic like William Blake's Great Red Dragon, an image that appears to be in the center of the painting. And a decapitated king's head instead implies the Ritual of Killing the King, while the butterfly is not Monarch mind control, but a symbol of the BA leaving the body at death. Is the portrait a dark omen of his death and transfer of power to William? Running parallel to this bizarre revelation is the Eurovision contest that seemed more like a black mass for beginners, or at least debauchery dressed up, or down, as entertainment. The Vatican also updated their guidance on apparitions and revelations earlier today, tightening control on official recognition of such things due to frauds and other factors.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

A giant in both physical and mental terms whilst a mortal inhabitant of the materium, Magnus long tried to understand and control the warp, becoming a sorcerer of formidable power. Magnus would eventually fall from favour with his father, the Emperor, and with the majority of his brother-primarchs due to his zealous advocacy and use of such power. Indeed it would prove to be his mortal undoing, as, forewarned of Horus' fall to Chaos, his attempt to use his own warp-touched abilities to alert the Emperor to the situation brought about his own damnation and servitude to the Chaos God Tzeentch. Magnus led his own troops to the banner of Horus and fought on his side during the Great Betrayal, surviving the events and being elevated to the position of Daemon Prince. He has spent the majority of the millennia since ensconced atop his tower upon the Planet of the Sorcerers, planning the destruction of the Imperium.Support the show
"The plus is because Pete Townshend likes it. (...) Beware the forthcoming hype. This is ersatz shit." -Robert Christgau in his D+ review of King Crimson's debut album "In The Court of the Crimson King" "A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic." -Jean Sibelius Me and the theater kids agree.

King Crimson emerged from the UK in the late 60's with their debut album In The Court of the Crimson King, viewed by many as a prog rock masterpiece. However, right after the album was released, we saw the first of many defections from the band. Over half a century, some of the most proficient musicians on the planet have played with King Crimson, led all the while by the mercurial Robert Fripp. To capture the spirit of the band and to endeavor to find answers as to why there has been so much turnover of band members (19 total members over the years), director Toby Amies (The Man Whose Mind Exploded) took on the task of getting to know the band members during what might just be their final tour. With stints in radio, record labels and MTV on both sides of the pond, Toby Amies has had a fascinating career. He took on the challenge of learning the ins and outs of the members of the band, why they choose to play in King Crimson and what is Robert Fripp's role in guiding this band for over half a century. While Robert will tell the reason for infighting and defections don't lie with him, Toby gets the stories of all the surviving members of King Crimson, current and former, to investigate what makes this band what it is. Not everyone gets King Crimson and their blend of rock, jazz, classical and experimental muisc but once they do, they are hooked true-believers. Toby endeavors to find out why and delivers a compelling film full of human drama, emotion, heartbreak, humor and music.

Today we are talking with Toby Aimes. Toby is the director behind the critically acclaimed “rock-umentary” IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING: KING CRIMSON AT 50. The film began as a straightforward documentary about the cult rock band King Crimson as it turned 50, mutated into an exploration of time, death, family, and the transcendent power of music to change lives.

This episode is a recording of the first-ever live Rock Docs podcast, recorded at the home of Michael and Kristy Rennie along with friends and fans of the podcast. Along with King Crimson superfan Roger Morrison, we watched the 2022 documentary "In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50", directed by Toby Amies. What you'll hear in this episode is the conversation following the screening. The movie is an exploration of the legendary prog rock band King Crimson, overseen by Robert Fripp, the band's leader and only consistent member. We see the band as they prepare for and go on a 50th anniversary tour, along with interviews with current and past members. The movie is as eccentric as the band itself, and is also surprisingly warm and funny. Featuring memorable moments from fans (including a nun) and the band's grizzled roadies. Thanks again to Michael and Kristy for co-hosting the event, to Michael for stepping into Andy's shoes as the episode's co-host, and to Roger for his KC insights.

As frequently as we mention King Crimson on this podcast, you'd think we would have done a proper episode on them by now. But we wanted to hold off until we could really do it up right, so this is the premiere of our three-episode series on the greatest pioneers of progressive rock. They didn't fully invent prog, but they did more to solidify the genre than any group that had come before them, to the point where each song on their debut album spawned a different prog subgenre - so, while this isn't the first prog album, it might be the most important. Time to get started on this journey, because the cracked brass bells have rung to summon back all us fire witches to discuss The Court of the Crimson King.Cohosts: Amanda Rodgers, John McFerrin, Mike DeFabio, Dan WatkinsComplete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/120-king-crimson-in-the-court-of-the-crimson-king-1969Discord & Rhyme's merch store: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpodSupport the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod
Next week, the Losers will begin their much-anticipated final coverage of The Dark Tower with the first of two book episodes dedicated to the epic 2004 closer. In anticipation, we're unlocking this quirky, spoiler-filled discussion about the Crimson King from way, way back in August of 2020. At the time, we were just wrapping up our book episode on Insomnia, so it felt right to discuss Big Red. Now, as we reach the Tower, it makes even more sense to head into the Court of the Crimson King. So, join Rockin' Randall Colburn, Dan Caffrey, and Dan Pfleegor as they discuss the King's murky origins, the ways he threads the multiverse, and, most importantly, whether or not they think the King is cool. Again, there will be spoilers -- spotty as their memories are -- so listen at your own risk. Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon | Store Hosted on Acast.

Insomnia is a rare Stephen King novel that has not yet been adapted. The book centers on an elderly protagonist named Ralph Roberts who must square off against a mischievous supernatural being working at the behest of the dreaded Crimson King. The novel tackles abortion rights, ageism, and lets us know that a bout with insomnia is all you need to pull back the dull veil of our real world and see the colorful beauty and horror beneath it all.
