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?

tylerw, Wednesday, 14 December 2016 21:11 (seven years ago) link

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.

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

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.

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."

spastic heritage, Friday, 16 December 2016 00:06 (seven years ago) link

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

that's Syd on the end/fadeout, yeah?

Mark G, Friday, 16 December 2016 12:55 (seven years ago) link

Apples and Oranges continues to blow my mind. like how is this a song? how is this happening? next time you hear this, try to just listen to Syd's guitar. it's insane. he isn't playing rhythm or even the main chords sometimes, it's this weird serpentine noisey guitar weaving around in the near-background. absolutely fucking awesome.

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 16 December 2016 14:47 (seven years ago) link

"Apples and Oranges" is my favorite syd non-album single

'Octopus' really follows on from "Apples and Oranges", which is how it should be.

A friend of mine was a huge Syd fan from the very beginning. He was super excited to finally see Pink Floyd live when they came to Ann Arbor in '68...and my friend was like, "the fuck?! Where's Syd?! Who's this Gilmour guy?!"

"Who's this Gilmour guy?! HE RULES!!!!"
