The End of King Crimson?
Could it be? Has King Crimson called it quits after 53 years? It would appear so!
Robert Fripp posted to Facebook that the last note of Starless at the last concert in Japan on the Completion Tour was a move "from sound to silence." What does this mean?
Thankfully, Sid Smith (King Crimson biographer and website/social media guy) clarified that it was KC's final note.
Copyright Holders vs. Content Creators
Here's my take on how copyright works on YouTube.
This video was instigated by a video I made that was blocked by Warner Music Group because I included short excerpts of Björk's amazing album "Vespertine" in a video telling the world they should listen to it. The album is 20 years old and it's practically a commercial for Björk's music and how much I love it.
It's the same story @Rick Beato had with his Joni Mitchell video, except his video got 500K views before it got taken down. Mine was taken down before I could even publish it!
Björk’s “Vespertine” · Jaw-Dropper
Here's my jaw-dropper episode about Björk's 2001 release "Vespertine." Unfortunately, Warner Music Group (and maybe Universal Music Group) have blocked the original version because I included short excerpts (between 20 and 40 seconds) that highlight and substantiate my commentary. Nevertheless, here's a version with all my talking parts and whatever music I could get away with. Hopefully you'll still find it enjoyable.
The jaw-dropper series highlights music that made my jaw drop when I first heard it. This episode is about Björk's 2001 masterpiece, Vespertine.
What do you think about this album? Is it a favorite of yours, too?
What do you think about Björk in general?
