have there been a lot of Floyd polls?
after swimming around with the Stones poll for a couple of weeks I was thinking how much I'd love a Floyd poll. but then I'm kind of poll-addicted right now so dont' mind me too much.

I think I volunteered to run the Floyd poll somewhere earlier. I'm still game if there's enough demand.

i can still remember the first time i heard 'one of these days' -- some deep cut thing on a classic rock station when i was teen-ish.
i was pretty wau

it's pretty amazing that it was recorded in 1971. it always sounded super ahead of its time to me.

totally.

"One Of These Days" and "Set The Controls..." came up 1-2 on shuffle play today so I claimed the poll - will post here when it's up.

^ this is Dave Gilmour's house, right next to the beach in Brighton. Doesn't look particularly grand in that photo, but that is just the side of it, which faces out to sea. Kind of rude of me, but I always look up at his windows when I go past. He's never there though.
― French Cricket in the USA (NickB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
Better than seeing him standing in the window pleasuring himself.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
would be cool if every afternoon gilmour stood on the roof and played the comfortably numb solo to the sea.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:11 (twelve years ago) link
And then on Sunday, I ran past again and all of a sudden, there he was, gazing out of the window, drinking his coffee, looking right back at me. And you will never guess what I was listening to on my headphones...

going to assume gilmour was drinking out of a similar mughttp://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/g69hy.ya6bn/v/vspfiles/photos/573531-2T.jpg?1315391964

He dines exclusively from branded merchandise iirc
― French Cricket in the USA (NickB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
Those are his Pink Floyd rules.
He was drinking out of a homemade Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking mug.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
With an ass that lights up when the mug is hot.

NickB that is !!

No, I'm pretty sure the technology is there.
― French Cricket in the USA (NickB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:27 (twelve years ago) link
I used to live in Brighton and I was never aware of Gilmour living there. Nick Cave, Paul McCartney and Norman Cook certainly, but not Gilmour. How long has he had that house for?
― my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
Only had it for a year or so:

Actually, in that photo above, I think that block on the right is the one where Nick Cave's flat is.
― French Cricket in the USA (NickB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:47 (twelve years ago) link
He's just sold it though apparently.
― French Cricket in the USA (NickB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
That is an appalling article I linked to btw, please don't read it.
― French Cricket in the USA (NickB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:50 (twelve years ago) link
i like the idea of gilmour and cave glowering at each other from their respective Brighton windows.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
gilmour: does he think i'm cool? he probably hates me.cave: i hate him.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
Haha yeah, I wouldn't have thought Nick Cave would have anything but contempt for post-Syd Floyd, but you never know.
― French Cricket in the USA (NickB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 16:13 (twelve years ago) link
One of our friends did some interior design work for Nick Cave, I can definitely confirm he hasn't got the Floyd covers poster in his bathroom.
― French Cricket in the USA (NickB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link

His bedroom was ALL BLACK - GOTH4LIFE! In hindsight it would have been wonderful if she could have snuck a DSOTM bedspread into the specification.

omg u guys I'm totally going to move to brighton. Nick Cave AND Gilmour?
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 16:57 (twelve years ago) link
I would like to believe David Gilmour thinks that Nick Cave is where Mason keeps his car collection.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
the lack of windows facing the sea is really confusing on that house!!!

he made an album called Dark Side of the Moon.
His recliner is likely turned away from the TV too.
(Maybe it's facing…

The Wall?)

He sits at the window sipping his cup of tea, holding a saucer full of secrets

gilmour looks at that blank wall and thinks "how i wish, how i wish you were clear."
