Saw a video about that just the other day. The cringe is huge.
Apparently she's merely the leading light of a whole genre.

Meh, we always had circus freaks. Now you just don't have to wait for them to visit your village once a year.

My apartment connects in a 90 degree angle to my left hand neighbor's. For some reason he leaves books in front of the window where I can read the title. Recently he had Schopenhauer's "The World as Will and Representation." This has now been replaced by Whitehead and Russel's "Principia Mathematica."

Starting to feel a bit self conscious when I read trashy fantasy books. :D
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Your neighbour is the one who should feel self-conscious, leaving those books out where people can see them.

Heh they are probably just covers, and inside the "Principa Mathematica" is "Bodice Rippers, Volume 2"  ;)

I had never seen that one.  That's very good!

It's made the rounds on German social media for a while. I'm pleased that the English closed captions are good.

Got tickets for King Crimson tomorrow. :)

I checked the setlist online, and unlike last time they came to Barcelona in the 1990s, this time they do have a fanservice-ish setlist.

Just came back from this. I had kinda given up on ever being able to see King Crimson* live playing classic King Crimson stuff, so this was great. The live version of Starless was an absolute delight. Also for no apparent reason they now carry 3 drummers.

*Since now it's pretty much Fripp + randoms, this is approaching "ship of Theseus" status, but I'll take it.

A friend of mine saw this incarnation recently and thought that was awesome.

They played a drum "solo" (since they were all 3) at the beginning of the second set that was great. But I thought that in some songs they tended to drown out the rest of the band. In particular in their more recent stuff (which I don't give much of a shit about, so I didn't care).

But yeah, I had a great time. Brought my mom to it, since she used to sing me "In the Court of the Krimson King" when I was a child, so I got some mother-son quality bonding time as a bonus.
