It’s Day 150 of the Windy Wessagusset Wimple of 2024. The wind was out of the northwest at 5mph with gusts at 9mph at 11am. The temperature was 70° and it felt like 65°. I used the Pumpkin color of Red Heart Super Saver yarn to show the wind was out of the northwest. I worked my knitting in garter stitch since the wind was blowing at 5mph. It was a mostly cloudy morning with sunshine taking over this afternoon. The clouds started moving in this evening, and rain is expected overnight into tomorrow. It was another quiet day. I ordered the rest of Mike’s birthday presents and his Father’s Day present from Gus. I had to get two delivered, but two can be picked up. I’m glad that is done in plenty of time before both days. Be safe out there.

DAY 150: Put Shutters on the Dreams
There’s one band I’m spending most of my life catching up on.
That’s an early iteration of King Crimson. There have been a few:
I mean, Crimson’s no Blood Sweat & Tears, but that’s still a shitload of members over the years.
Well, I’ve got a long way to go in order to be considered a King Crimson completist. See, for me, this all started back in ‘96 when I bought THIS to help me make the drive to North Carolina:
That one cassette covered a LOT of territory. And I was hooked. But through the ups & downs of life, I’ve only managed to accumulate THIS many:
Judging me by my King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard collection won’t score you any cool points, BTW.
If anything, owning a book on Crimson has solidified the fact that I’m still WAY behind.
There it is on the bottom, right underneath the rest of my haven’t-read-yet/still-need-to-finish stack.
Well, it turns out that my pal David Richardson over at Hot Comics & Collectibles loaned me THIS a while back:
And I regret that I haven’t heard it until now. Holy F, it’s fucking boss.
I think I wrote it off as one of those “Check out our NEW album” releases from a band I only knew from their earlier work.
And let it be known, I’ve gotten burned by bands I was a LOT closer to.
Let me put it to you this way: “TRAK” & “The Division Bell” came out a year apart & the latter sort of made me regret being a Pink Floyd fan. So, I guess what I’m saying is that the mid-90′s weren’t exactly kind to me.
Well, there we are. So, now that I’m convinced I won’t get burned by later releases, it’s just a matter of catching up to the older stuff I don’t own.
And the funky thing about the above chart is that it doesn’t even take into account the live stuff that Fripp has released from the archives. So, technically, that’s only a FRACTION of what I’ve gotta collect to be a completist.
Well, that’s good because I’m switching plates here.
On a similar note, I regret that while I was researching this post I found out about an anime/manga series called JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, which features a character called King Crimson.
Now let me be clear.
I’m not regretting the actual JoJo series (even though I’m having a tough time figuring what the F is going on with it).
I think it’s cool that they’ve incorporated the multiple faces from the band’s first album into a character trait.
I also like the fact that the “stands” in the stories are essentially different band names.
Take Killer Queen, for instance.
Hmmmmm. That looks sort of familiar.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I see it now.
No, I don’t regret any of that.
I regret that I wasn’t the one who came up with a prog/arena rock version of Pokemon before JoJo creator Hirohiko Araki.
And now I regret finding out that this dude also created something called Oingo Boingo Brothers Adventure.
I think maybe I just need to stay off the Internet from now on.
Got a hankering to learn more about JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure?
This is as far as I got.
Godspeed:
