King Crimson
Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind
(DGM, 2016)

[during percussion-only intro to "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part 1"]

"This is cool music, Papa!"

[during choppy guitar transition]

"I really like the music, Papa! I like the way the guitars sound."

And with the arrival of the song's ponderous, crushing main riff, The Girl – who is listening for the first time ever to her papa's foremost musical obsession – leaps up from the suds, puts on her metalhead grimace, and bangs her head.

That's my Girl, all right.
