This is exactly why I can't stand listening to any PF tribute bands. The drummers just can't get it right.

Also, how the fuck am I supposed to take in a 27 disc Pink Floyd right now. The whole world is on fire and freaking out and by the way, here's a whole new set of Dead Sea Scrolls.

Yeah pretty much. And yet here we are.

really liking "Walk With Me Sydney" catchy tune, that!

Yeah, these 100 hour Floyd, Dylan, Crimson etc sets are perverse. Like, you want unreleased, here you go, suckers, good luck.

This pic rules:

Didn't you mean to write "pict?"

brb putting that on my van

You have no van already HOW DARE YOU CALL YOURSELF A FAN

My sweet-ass ride, yesterday:

They should have justified the expense of this new collection by putting it in a van and not a box.

That would RULE.

every pink floyd fan gets a van with purchase if they don't have one

Ha, they should release a 10,000 boxed set housed in the back of a custom van.

rushomancy otm re: Mason.

don't encouage him

j/k

...sort of

listened to the new disk of Live at Pompeii today, it ruled

Read somebody yesterday who said that they'd worked out from the layout of the box that it was probably intended to be van shaped initially. With one end's contents placed to make way for the box to be windshield etc shaped.

Contents sound pretty decent, at least the cd parts, from what I've heard so far. Not seen the visuals though.

I realized why too -- looking more thoroughly at the various photos and things included with it, turns out the box set design is replicating the design of the van that the Tea Set, the predecessor band to PF, had for their various jaunts. There's a couple of photos of it with both the full band and with Nick -- all black with the white stripe in question.

Did I read something about a hidden "Meddle" remaster somewhere in the set?

It's on the Blu-Ray. You'll have to rip it. Look for a 46 minute .mkv file.

University of Colorado students will be taking a trip to the "Dark Side of the Moon" next semester.

"There's a lot more to Pink Floyd than just music or just the stage show," said Hunter Ewen, who will teach a course called "Pink Floyd: Music, Image, Culture" this spring. "There's also the technical aspects and the creative innovation and the culture. There's a bunch of stuff there to engage people in a broader conversation about a group that has a lot of popularity still on college campuses to this day."

The psychedelic course is one of the new first-year seminars the university is offering in the hopes of connecting students with their peers, a faculty member and interesting course topics they typically wouldn't get to study until their junior and senior years on campus.

when I went to Oberlin there was a thing called Exco or "Experimental College" where students could teach classes for 3 credits and take classes for 1 or 2 credits and you could claim a total of 5 credits. I taught a class called The Films of David Cronenberg, but I use the word "taught" loosely.

Anyway when I was a junior or senior a first year student taught a Pink Floyd exco which amounted to claiming a room in the student union and plugging in this little light machine and listening to pink floyd. Most of them presumably got high first. I took the class and insisted he allow me to give a lecture on Syd Barrett.

Will students start skipping the class to go read Russian novels in the quad?

my main college memory of pink floyd is being made fun of for playing "Cirrus Minor" on my radio show ... well, who's laughing now?

pink floyd rules
college radio drools

IRL lol at that img

at the time, Air's Virgin Suicide's OST was the hot compact disc and i was like "DAWGS IT'S THE SAME THING AS THE FLOYD"

the fuck with that "Nick Mason is terrible" shit upthread?

If you think Nick Mason sucks, then you think Pink Floyd sucks.

And Pink Floyd does not suck. Pink Floyd rules.

"pink floyd is boring and pretentious"
*listens to siger ros*

Everything is boring and pretentious. *listens to sound of own wonderful voice* Oh sorry.

The remixed version of Meddle on the Early Years box is rocking my world.

xp (Thank you, that was my one act play "The Eventual Fate of Fantano.")

lol

nick mason does not suck. nick mason obviously RULES, because pink floyd RULES. he also rules for the vocals on "scream thy last scream" and "one of these days". nick mason rules because he demands his pie without the crust, even though he doesn't always get it. he rules because of nick mason's fictitious sports, the greatest pink floyd-related solo album with the _possible_ exception of syd barrett's records. hell, he even rules for mason/fenn's "profiles".

mind you he's still a shit drummer.

also, he wrote "Paintbox"

oh wait

You mean 'oh wait, Paintbox is actually shit, lol' or 'oh wait, he didn't write Paintbox'? Only one of those statements is true.

2nd one, realized it was Wright after I posted

and Paintbox RULES, obviously

meddle used to be my favorite fall album

merciless, the magistrate turns round-ah

yessssssssssssss

the floyd are short

Wish I could hear the new box set without spending $500 that I don't have. Pretty annoying that the two-disc version leaves off "Vegetable Man."

They're releasing all but one of the component sets individually next year.

now we're talking
