when did floyd use the treble clef in their iconography?

I always read Young Lust a parody of the ball-out blues rocker.
TS: "Young Lust" vs. "Crew Slut" (which I know is a parody blues rocker because Zappa said so in the Joe's Garage liner notes, which he did because Zappa.)

Say what you want about The Division Bell but it's a really iconic cover image. Not sure I need it tattooed on my back, though.

Sam Weller, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 14:51 (eight years ago) link

Def one of the bands that knew how to create great iconography

Heard the new Gilmour tour on the Brain Damage podcast. It sounds.... stately. I really only have budget for one Old Guy tour and I think Fogerty in Vegas is going to win out.

i wish the new gilmour album ruled more

I feel a bit regretful having not made the effort to see him at the Royal Albert Hall, although I had a look at the set list and it's not much different to the On An Island tour and that was kinda cool with Robert Wyatt, Crosby & Nash & Bowie doing Arnold Layne.

Robert Wyatt, Crosby & Nash & Bowie doing Arnold Layne.

pretty nice overview of the floyd's late 60s soundtrack work: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2015/11/11/pink-floyd-childhoods-end-the-soundtracks

eh, a little sloppy for my tastes. claims for instance that nick mason was responsible for the melody of "us & them" (?!?) and complains that the music to "la vallee" (which i haven't seen) is all diegetic when in fact "more" is exactly the same way. and this material is so obscure i'm not sure an overview is even appropriate- why not delve into the arcana of the "committee" soundtrack, of "san francisco", of the (great) film-only track "seabirds"?

rushomancy, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 19:53 (eight years ago) link

yeah assuming they meant rick wright there in regards to us & them

can't believe you found my private pink floyd painting website

tylerw, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 21:55 (eight years ago) link

I've always had a desire to do a sick painting of Pink Floyd on stage but then I see things like this and it scares me off.

That's why he took his shirt off.

Mark G, Thursday, 12 November 2015 07:22 (eight years ago) link

He had the hot young Leo DiCaprio look going on for a few years back then.

I'll order one of those dave paintings for my bedroom ceiling, and another to be perma-stamped on my retinas thx

My friend Jonathan interviewed Roger for Noisey. He's talked to both David and Roger this year and I'm jealous as hell:

Good piece. Hard to believe but Roger has seemed to mellow with age – and in a good way.

dan selzer, Monday, 30 November 2015 04:42 (eight years ago) link

I really don't get the advantage of releasing this copyright extension stuff in limited edition 1,000-copies. Wouldn't it make better business sense to just have a regular non-limited release? Now that they're out there, these recordings will be so heavily bootlegged that whatever standard release they do years from now will be redundant.

Mr. Snrub, Monday, 30 November 2015 07:14 (eight years ago) link

idk I guess they don't need to spend as much time on a limited release, they can just whack it out w/the minimum of fuss. the same goes for the Dylan sets, which were very minimal as regards packaging etc.

schlep and back trio (anagram), Monday, 30 November 2015 11:31 (eight years ago) link

Bootleggers make very little thesedays, it's not worth the hassle getting sued by copyright holders.

If the tracks fall into public domain, there is no hassle so the 'bootleggers' can operate legally.

Mark G, Monday, 30 November 2015 11:50 (eight years ago) link

The old farts here are faced with a fairly unpleasant choice. Either they can make their old unreleased stuff "officially" available, or run the risk that anybody who gets their hands on the tapes can profit off their old junk. It's questionable whether or not it would work like that in practice, as it's never been tested in the courts, but nobody particularly wants to run the risk.

My impression is that with Floyd, the question is not so much profit, as all of them have more money than they seem to have use for, but brand control. They really don't want to see what they consider to be substandard crap released under the Pink Floyd name (and by any reasonable standard, "Walk With Me Sydney" is substandard crap). So probably the best choice here is to release it as a limited run and live with the uncontrollable noncommercial bootlegging, while still preserving the legal right of control over their work.

rushomancy, Monday, 30 November 2015 12:26 (eight years ago) link

wish they'd been thinking along these lines before they released The Endless River

schlep and back trio (anagram), Monday, 30 November 2015 12:48 (eight years ago) link

i'm weird but i find the endless river sort of captivatingly boring like how i sometimes like to lay on the couch and watch PGA tour golf and drift in and out of sleep

Amira, Queen of Creativity (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link

Yup. You're weird.
