King Crimson - Discipline (w/ Adam Elk!)

King Crimson - Discipline (w/ Adam Elk!)
In 1974, in the wake of the release of their magnum opus, Red, Robert Fripp made the decree "King Crimson is completely over. For ever and ever." And he meant it... for a time. For the next few years, he left the music industry completely to focus on himself and his spirituality, but he wouldn't be out for long. In the late 70s into 1980, Fripp was pulled back into the fold, laying down guitar work for legends such as David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, and Daryl Hall. Finally, the need to be in a group resurfaced, and he enlisted Adrien Belew (who had just come off the "Remain in Light" tour) and Tony Levin (a master of the Chapman Stick) to join himself and Bill Bruford in a New Wave band calling itself Discipline. It wasn't very long before it became apparent that this grouping was the next incarnation of King Crimson, and in 1981, they wowed the rock world with a completely new sound for the band. It was New Wave, but still with all the Prog polyrhythms that defined them in the past. Whatever you think of this point in their discography, it's clear they were masters of reinvention. Today we're joined once again by Adam Elk from The Mommyheads!!! They are finally touring the midwest THIS WEEKEND and you should come out and see them! Tour dates linked belew.

Hole - Live Through This (w/ Emily Mills and Meghan Rose of Damsel Trash!!!)

Hole - Live Through This (w/ Emily Mills and Meghan Rose of Damsel Trash!!!)
Courtney Love. A woman plagued by tragedy and misogyny, tabloid and conspiracy. She has been called a lot things over the years, some by friends, many by the media. She has had beefs with the likes of Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan, Gwen Stefani, and Tori Amos, to name a few. However, one thing is certain. She is a force to be reckoned with. Today we're discussing the album that came out less than a week after Kurt Cobain's tragic passing, and a few months before the passing of their own bassist, Kristen Pfaff. "Live Through This" has become infamous for the tragedy that surrounds it, as well as the prophetic nature of the lyrics, and became one of the most important albums of the 90's. We're joined by one of my favorite Madison bands (although these days they're a Madison AND New York band), Damsel Trash!!! We have Emily Mills, who is also in Little Red Wolf and Line -- and Meghan Rose, Little Red Wolf alum and musical composer for such musicals as "Held" and "Xena: Warrior Musical"!!!
