Shakti at PWTC

June 12th, 2007

Yup, John Mclaughlin will be in town performing along with his Indian Classical Band, Shakti, tomorrow night at 8pm, Putra World Trade Centre, PWTC. I thought that he will be bringing the 4th Dimension into town, looks like he did likewise.

The details are available on the IndiaBeat3 website. This one will be interesting.

John Mclaughlin is coming to town! My favourite guitarist is coming to town! He will be playing live at the Putra World Trade Centre, Malaysia on June 13th together with the 4th Dimension featuring Hadrien Feraud (bass), Gary Husband (keyboards) and Mark Mondesir (drums). PWTC’s website has not stated any confirmation on the concert yet.

21st Century Schizoid Man

May 14th, 2007

In the Court of the Crimson King

I love this song. Available on King Crimson’s 1969 album here. Got any idea on the meaning of the lyrics?

Cat’s foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia’s poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians’ funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Death seed blind man’s greed
Poets’ starving children bleed
Nothing he’s got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.
