I heard Asia's "don't cry" the other day in Shop Rite. Probably not that much of a stretch either.

Not too much of a stretch, but this morning while I was shopping at an Orchard hardware store in West L.A., Genesis' Abacab was playing over the speakers and was faded out quickly to a shorter version to make way for some '80s tune of little distinction (no, it wasn't the single version).

Thanks, I just found it myself! 0:38 = "King Crimson? In the Court of the Crimson King? Wake of Poseidon? Lark's Tongues in Aspic?" Never heard that on late night comedy before!!

While watching the US talk show "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," they opened with a skit of FBI agents discussing what to name the Trump investigation.
Of course, eventually the FBI decided upon "Crossfire Hurricane" from the Rolling Stones song "Jumping Jack Flash," but one of the agents took exception to this selection and pushed hard for "King Crimson!" The agent specifically mentioned ITCOTCK, Wake of Poseidon, LTIA, Schizoid Man etc.! If the video ever surfaces, I'll post it. Hilarious!

I suppose this counts. I went to see a Rolling Stones cover band tonight and the bass player was wearing a Magma t shirt. :D
He didn't seem to be up much on the current prog scene(never heard of Big Big Train)but at least seemed to know Steven Wilson and Gentle Giant.

I just saw in the animated series of Superman, from the 90's, an episode were a character called Mxyzptlk appears. When he explains Superman how to pronounce his name he shows 3 immages to depict the something similar in pronuciation to a part of his name... for the middle one he takes out an album portrait very similar to a Yes album (and says Yes).

In the street you can find these guys, I think this was 5 years ago (!) but they something re-emerge from the shadows and I hope I can find a full release from them.

^ I don't really know as much as I should about mexican prog bands, but what little I do know: There's "Iconoclasta", of whom I have Soliloquio (and is very nice) and "Cast" (of whom I have "Originalis" and "Castarsis", both of which are great, specially their epics "Frente al Umbar" and "El Puente"). There's Elfonía (both albums are very nice, and they had a singer that was later championed by Arjen Lucassen, and helped her create the dutch band Stream of Passion). And the newest bands I know are "Deep Limbic System", whom have released no full album yet, and have so far sung in english; and "Ekos", whose two albums are great.

The sitcom Loudermilk referenced Dark Side Of The Moon , Fear Of A Blank Planet and Emerson, Lake and Palmer in episode 5 (season 1) . Quite impressed by the PT reference , someone on the writing team is obviously is a real proggy. The ELP reference was a bit of a put down (surprise surprise) although I did laugh. At the end of pointless discussion about her record collection the woman says ''I'm not going to apologise for Emerson , Lake and Palmer''. It's a very funny show. If anyone likes Californication , then its a bit in that mould.

Here in Mexico, FM stations are quickly dying, however, the local uni has a program in which they often talk about prog and play full albums. Which is great I think... just the other day I could catch the last song from 'In the Court of the Crimson King'.

Whenever I hear glass break in public, my mind instantly goes to the intro to "The Runaway" by Gentle Giant

I was at a grocery store last weekend and heard a proggy organ riff followed by a Minimoog solo on the in store speakers. The refrain reminded me of Simon & Garfunkel's Cecilia. I recognized it as a song that I had heard before in the same place so I jotted down a note about the lyrics to look up the song later.
It turned out to be Styx's Fooling Yourself. The only other song by Styx I was familiar with is Come Sail Away from the same album, The Grand Illusion, which I had heard on local a classic rock radio station before. |

Tonight, the American comedian Stephen Colbert made a joke about starting a new prog band and sang a couple of bars of "Roundabout!" Great timing, as this is the 45th Anniversary of the release of "Fragile," one of Yes' best LPs!
