A totally underrated record of theirs, even by hardcore Crim heads.
Pretty much exactly the point of the whole book. Though not limited to Crim heads.
Crim heads, crim heads. I just like saying that.
Who did the essay?
Bruce Duff. Alphabetically the King Crimson is preceded by Andy Kim (bubblegum pop), and Junior Kimbrough (blues) and followed by the Kinks (Muswell), Klaatu (faux space Beatles) and Klymaxx (80s electro funk).
I love our alphabetical format. Another good stretch:
Housemartins
Howlin' Wolf
Idle Race (Jeff Lynn of ELO's 60s band)
Individuals (80s indie arty rock)
Jacksons (Triumph)
James Gang (Yer Album)
Housemartins
My broomball team in college was named the Housemartins. Since we were the honors dorm, I wanted Smart People on Ice.

Which Lambchop?
Nixon. It was the one you recommended, so I figured I'd give it a go. And it rawks.
Joe: Milos! "I try hard to be good workerman, but refigemator so messy. So, so messy."
The sorrowful, weight-of-the-world way in which Dave reads that comment from the complaint box still cracks me up.
(Also, we had our VP of digital media on speakerphone the other day, and since we have broken all the conference phones, we had a regular phone with a speaker on it that didn't reach the conference table and had to go on a chair. Then they started making jokes about him pulling his chair up to the table. It took everything I had not to say "I'm not actually *in* the box, Dave.")
Not work safe, and really, really odd.
That *is* tempting, Jon. Do you know who's playing?
I got Oasis' What's the Story Morning Glory last night, because I've had "Don't Look Back in Anger" going through my head for weeks. It is ... very Oasis-y.
(And it is most unfair that the Oasis songs I like are split between two albums, so I had to pick. I'm gonna pout about that for a while.)
Milos! "I try hard to be good workerman, but refigemator so messy. So, so messy."
D'oh! I really wanted to include "Complaint Box" in the list but I couldn't think of any musical references, but now it dawns on me (which is to say smacks me upside the head)... Shaft! "I thought we'd all enjoy that." D'oh! -- there's also, "'I have doobie in my funk,' which I assume is some sort of reference to the Parliament Funkadelic song, 'Chocolate City.'" My mind is mush.
Not work safe, and really, really odd.
For those of you who can't check it out, two people whose organization, or maybe their motto (I don't feel like checking), is "Fuck for Trees," did just that onstage at a concert. Apparently they've done it, and not just in a manner of speaking, in other public venues. Doing it in public is in fact their m.o. The story Gandalfe linked to has pics from the show. The, ahem, moneyquote: "'The goal is to take over the entire commercial porn industry and transfer all the money to protection of the environment,' Ellingsen explained."
"'The goal is to take over the entire commercial porn industry and transfer all the money to protection of the environment,' Ellingsen explained."
I think the word "explained" really should be in quotes here.
A banner was raised on stage informing the audience that the couple was having sex to save the rainforest.
This makes Lennon and Yoko's "Bed-in for Peace" look sensible.
