As a slight diversion from the norm, and in deference to this being my #100th album, I have decided that this release will instead be a look back at some of the music that I have made in that whole period, in a couple of cases reaching right back

One day I will go through the back issues of Elephant Talk and find the article quoting Fripp as saying that there is no King Crimson archive, anywhere...

In 1972, Idi Amin expelled Uganda’s Asian community in the name of culture.

In 2025, a British MP is using the same language to justify removing lawful residents.

Don’t say it can’t happen here.

"They Will Also Need to Go Home"

A sitting Conservative MP has introduced a bill that would make lawful residents deportable for earning under £38,700 - and Britain’s political class is barely blinking.

On Arsene Wenger’s birthday, a reminder of his epic confrontations with his arch-nemesis over the years.

We’re not talking Sir Alex. Or Jose.

But that bastard zip on his big winter coat…

I am certain that, had he lived longer, we would see him winning Spa by 15 minutes on a unicycle. With a puncture.

I saw Laurie Anderson doing the same thing a few years ago (kind of) with a bow and a violin with a tape head on the bridge. Still pretty impressive.
