Rick Mascarini was the winner of our recent Pat Mastelotto Recidivate competition and here he is with his prize...
Rick writes "I arrived home yesterday (Friday 13th of April) from another long business excursion to find my "prize" having arrived while I was on the road. The picture was taken w/ my now trusty iPad 2 along with the P@ music playing from the same said device. Wonderful that I can travel and have these gems playing on headphones while sitting in airplanes. Thanks again for the contests and I'm very proud to be a lucky winner!"

Important Mail Order News
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Jan 14, 2013
Some changes have been made to the way mail order via the site is fulfilled. Burning Shed are now formally operating a European store for DGM releases, allowing Inner Knot to concentrate on their customers in the US.
Both companies are independent of DGM, and our aim is to co-ordinate worldwide pricing and release dates, avoiding problems we know customers have been having when hard-earned pay is prised from their grasp.

Happy Birthday King Crimson
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Sun., Jan 13, 2013
On this date in 1969... There was much excitement in camp of the as yet unnamed King Crimson. Why so? Greg, Bob, Mike and Ian started their very first rehearsal in the basement of the Fulham Palace Road Café. The venue had been found by Pete Sinfield, who turned up on the 13th with fellow KC roadie (and later tour manager) Dick Fraser at Ian McDonald’s place to collect Mike’s drums. After that Dick, Pete, Bob and Greg returned to Ian’s to haul the Mellotron off to its new subterranean home and get their first rehearsal in their new space underway. KC had truly become part of the underground scene!
And speaking of the underground...
In 2011 a Japanese film crew making a documentary about the song The Court Of The Crimson King chose to visit the site of the Fulham Palace Road Café as part of their show. You can read what happened over on the blog. Here's some snaps of the place as it is today.
  Helping celebrate King Crimson's 44th year are two feature articles in major magazine publications.  (thanks to Anthony V Hall for sending in this picture)
Mojo offers an 8-page feature written by Mike Barnes and covers Fripp's time in Crimson as well as his various collaborations. Prog contains a one-page piece penned by Fripp himself which asks the question What Is King Crimson?
This is followed by an 11-page feature written by yours truly and
centered around an interview with Robert that focuses on the years from
Court up to Larks' and the creative processes that were at work at the time. You can see some of the magazine spread over on the blog. This is followed by a 4-page appraisal of Giles, Giles & Fripp's Cheerful Insanity album by Lin Bensley, with commentary from Mike and Peter Giles. So raise a glass of your favourite tipple and toast to the King!

Bowie's Blast From The Past
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Jan 10, 2013
My thanks to Albemuth who writes "Spiegel Online has an article called "Back in Berlin, At Least in
Spirit" by Kristen Allen, which tells of the understandable excitement
Berliners have about Bowie's new single. The photo at the beginning of
the article shows Bowie standing with two of his genius collaborators,
whom all of us will recognize!"
