King Crimson: Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of Monkey Mind.

The Bluray audio and concert is simply astonishing. The finest performance of these works I've heard to date and essentially putting a new mini-album into the mix was an idea of genius.

So glad the amazing King Crimson is touring again. Hopefully I can catch the 'Uncertain Times' tour.

I picked these CDs up in Louisville KY yesterday at The Great Escape 25% off sale:


$3.86US

(I also found this in my trunk:

OK, Confession time.

Finally after years of holding back I finally decided it was time to purchase some 'TWISTED SISTER' albums.

The inspiration was watching Frank's speech to the review board for the PMRC fiasco.

I've always tried to find interesting Christmas albums over the years (still my personal favourite is 'Tales From The Crypt - The Cryptmas album'), however I thought I'd deliver the neighbours a nice bit of shock rock with 'Twisted Sister - A Twisted Christmas'
Also grabbed: 'Come Out And Play' with a bonus track, 'Stay Hungry'(the 25th anniversary edition with a pile of bonus and unreleased tracks) and 'Still Hungry' the follow up years later to the cult classic.

I know, there's a lot of cheesy rock to be had in this lot but it reminds me of the good ol days skating around the roller skating rink doing jumps to 'Where Not Gonna Take It,' For some reason I think the perfect Frank Zappa albums to follow a session of Twisted Sister would be Sheik Yerbouti followed by Zappa in New York.

Next will be the complete symphonies of Shostakovich in a new SACD set. I'm also inspired to get into a bit more of Anton Webern's music(very interesting composer) thanks to Frank. Is that eclectic? No, I call it variety.

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!!!
