🎵 At 24, Barry Godber painted the design for the album cover of
In the Court of the Crimson King
He died from a heart attack shortly after the album was released.
🎵 Been a little lax in keeping up recently - but @justgoodmusic is still cranking out posts thanks to @Cassinato - anyone else want to be a contributor
🎵 Watch Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour Sing Shakespeare via Eric Alper .
“…it would not be entirely fanciful to imagine Fripp & co. – in accordance with the “Third Principle of King Crimson (‘All the music is new, whenever it was written’) – as the best new rock band in the world.”

🎵🎵 Heard part of this on the final episode of Nick Mason’s Sound and Technology podcast.
This is a more complete 6 minutes of the David Bowie interview.
The disbelief and facial expressions of Paxman are priceless.
🎵 Ok - more to come tomorrow/over the weekend but just discovered a new band out of Seattle called Kilcid - who in turn were telling me about a Welsh band called Super Furry Animals .. pumped.
🎵 Your Taste in Music Can Reveal How Smart You Are.
Yeah - clever - but like so many of these things - the data source is biased.
🎵 Is it just me that has Boris The Spider running through his head on constant repeat?

Nobody told The Vogues to retire.[/caption]
Up every morning just to keep a job,
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob,
Sounds of the city pounding in my brain,
While another day goes down the drain (Yeah, yeah, yeah).
but it’s a five o’clock world when the whistle blows,
No-one owns a piece of my time,
And there’s a five o’clock me inside my clothes,
Thinking that the world looks fine, yeah,
🎵 Billie Eilish Is the Kate Bush We Need Right Now
”Eilish is an outlier who arrived at a time of need: Despite her couture-in-a-blender look, “

🎵 Just updated the contributors page on Just Good Music - 10 authors in total - we have a couple more registered - but they have yet to throw up a post. Wonderful to see the variety of music being written about.
The Working Day Is Done
No, not Cyndi ... Neil.
They say that life imitates art. In this particular
When the working day is through
Neil Hannon - Divine Comedy
And you're waiting in the rain
For another overdue
Overcrowded railway train
And the movie poster screams
"It's the best film ever seen!"
But it's all a different world
To which you have never been
And you're bored out of your mind
So you keep yourself amused
Reading the Financial Times
Of the fellow next to you
Then something in you snaps
And you shout with all your lungs
"We give and get nothing back!"
When the working day is done."
Unfair - possibly, but Hannon / Divine Comedy has a history of social observation. In this particular case and entire double album on Office Politics. Wont it be grand when we no longer have to deal with them?
”Everyone, we’re changing everyone,
you name them all,
we’ve had them here,
and the real stars are still to appear.

🎵 @Jacob I was going to do this anyway - but I decided it had to be today because it is @macgenie ’s birthday and she said that what she wanted for her birthday is to call out and respond to others, so …. great work.
Your new blog Musicians on Micro.Blog is a wonderful addition to the growing network of services being built around Micro.Blog. It is now fully tied into Just Good Music with a link in the top menu and interesting also to see the overlap of contributors to both worlds.
Thanks also to @manton - not just for Micro Blog - but his call out this morning to the musical direction of Micro Blog. None of us know for sure who listens to what we say and write - but somehow, I do sense that when @manton posts - people read :-)
One final call out to my co-conspirator on JGM - @JoeJenett Without his work - there would be no web mentions running back and forth between our various sites and the @JustGoodMusic account - GREAT WORK.
🎵 Was obviously revisiting a lot of music a year ago today.
🎵 Ok .. if it’s ear worming me .. it can ear worm you.
Elton and Leon - 🍎 🎵 🔗
🎵 Well here’s a start @kapsa - found your RSS feed and add it into the JGM side bar
and this post will also appear there ….
