Actually, that's "Fripp Fripp".

Yes, it's Sunday All Over the World.  Robert Fripp, Toyah Willcox,
Trey Gunn, and Paul Beavis, the latter two on Stick and drums,
respectively.  Apparently, according to latest rumour, they are
currently recording for an album.  They have been playing since
sometime last year, and in fact I attended a show last September in
London.  Prior to this, Fripp had declined to discuss what kind of
music Fripp Fripp were to play, saying merely that it was different
than anything he had done before.  And it turns out to be more pop
than King Crimson, but retaining interesting rhythms and harmonic
structure.  (What I'm saying is that I liked the music.)  

On a different note, The League of Crafty Guitarists is currently
compiling material for a new Craft album.  It is bound to be much
different from their first three recorded efforts, namely _The League
of Crafty Guitarists_, _The Lady or the Tiger?_, and _Get Crafty I_.
The latest live shows probably do not reflect the intended content of
the album.  But that's a guess.
