can't wait for the studies and papers on lockdown syndrome ;)

I like to imagine Anita Dobson coming down to breakfast, hurling that newspaper headline in the face of Brian May with a disgusted "fucking Toyah!"

Brian thinks back to the last slightly tipsy garden barbeque at the Fripp-Wilcoxes, and sighs with a thought of what could have been, then gets up and slowly potters off to catalogue his plectrums again....

one thing that quarantine has made very clear is that robert fripp fucks...a lot

"Ladies of the Road" already provided a hint.

Holy shit, I'm exhausted just trying to read the tracklisting.

I haven't gotten any of the monster-size KC boxes, but I'll probably be getting this.

Yeah holy fuck, I think this is kind of a mandatory purchase.

dear god

WmC I will happily trade you 32 CDRs of your choice for rips/files if/when you get this

Don't know if this is "the writing project" as mentioned by RF over the years, but https://dgmlive.com/news/the-guitar-circle-book-by-rf

The long-awaited first book from Robert Fripp - 'The Guitar Circle' - collects much of RF's writing about Guitar Craft, as well as his unique approach to guitar playing, collaborating and personal development.

Presented in a limited edition first print hardcover format (and printed on high-end Italian Fedrigoni paper), the book is due to be published on September 1st 2022 by Panegyric Publishing.

This is the first in a series of books to include The DGM Diaries, Crimson Chronicles and membership of King Crimson (1969-2021) and personal commentary on living in New York during and after the recording of Exposure at a point in the late 1970s when New York was the fulcrum of a wider cultural rebirth.

The book will be available via Burning Shed and other major online bookstores from September 1st. Click here to pre-order.
(For U.S. customers, the book will be available to pre-order via Inner Knot soon.)

Success. Frippertronics rig set up in the "traditional" way. In other words, no mixer, no extra delay and one cable between playback and record machines. pic.twitter.com/sQ1HyFUiXe
