I'm listening to my new 6-disc set of King Crimson's 2015 tour. Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of Monkey Mind is the name of the set. I've got the blu-ray on, listening and watching. Red's playing. The music is absolutely mesmeric. |

Music is a completely personal taste, and most people are healthily uninterested in what other people are listening to unless it is something within their preferred genres. Still, if anyone is interested in French song from the 1940s up to and including the excellent Zaz, i’d be delighted to hear from you.

Here's "Easy Money" from the Radical Action tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOdk015mLEo
And here's Fripp, Mel Collins and Gavin Harrison stretching out as the Greatest Band of All-Time plays The Greatest Song of All-Time (slightly too slowly for my taste but that can happen when people get old - they can't take the excitement any more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUypw_9MB60
Will Fripp ever come to Australia? I see Crimson is doing a 2018 European tour between June and November 2018.
And here, just for a fun, is a video of a Yes classic (from the wonderful days when Rick Wakeman hadn't been hired and the tasteful Tony Kaye was at the Hammond) which shows exactly why Bill Bruford's hairstyle means that he can no longer be in a band with Robert Fripp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93y9wfB3EM8 |

anything i feel like at the time! hubby got me this google thing, you just say "hey Google play me good old collingwood forever"and it does! sound isnt bad and you can hook up speakers to it if you want! its pretty cool, answers anything, tells you the weather, driving times, what to use instead of cinnamon, although it didnt give me a good answer to "how to i get away with killing my husband!" (i had a good reason for asking it, no doubt he was teasing the dog or the kids!!) _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

I was given a Google Home for Christmas but my wife will not let me use it. She is paranoid that Google Inc. can hear and record everything we say within earshot. _________________ How would Siri know when to answer "Hey Siri" unless it is listening in to everything you say? |

I was listening to "Pilgrimage", Wishbone Ash's second album, this morning for this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5ylqx1zAgg
I hadn't listened to the album for many years and had forgotten that it starts with Jack McDuff's "Vas Dis?" Here's a BBC live performance they did the same year "Pilgirmage" was made:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L44iHlbemwo
Here's Brother Jack with George Benson doing the original live in 1963: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9tGA0o6Bi0
Which brought me to if's wonderful tribute to Jack McDuff from 1970: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o301OyzvlPk&list=RDo301OyzvlPk
Fabulous flute solo from the late, great Dick Morrissey (who played tenor sax with Jack McDuff) and one of Terry Smith's loveliest guitar solos.
When that video finishes, just let youtube take you through if's repertoire. One of life's great joys.
Posted with very genuine thanks to Chris Winter, who spun "What'd I Say About the Box Jack?" on Room To Move (Radio 774, when we used to call it "3LO") one Monday night when I was little. It's hard to imagine, now but Chris Winter was kind of like the internet for young music lovers before the internet. |
