PINK FLOYD

On a distant shore, miles from land
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand
A dream in a mist of grey...
On a far distant shore...

The pebble that stood alone
And driftwood lies half buried
Warm shallow waters sweep shells
So the cockles shine...

A bare winding carcase, stark
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat, an empty way...
Dry tears...
Crisp flax squeaks tall reeds
Make a circle of grey in a summer way, around man
Stood on ground...

Careful with that Shrimp, Eugene.

dammit

Two shrimps in the sunset

As I pimp for a shrimp
Slide a rind down behind
The sofa in San Tropez...

When I was a child, I caught a fleeting shrimp
Out of the corner of my eye

Mother, do you think they'll drop the shrimp?

Mother do you think they'll try to break...my claws?

ONE OF THESE DAYYYYS I'M GONNA CUT SHRIMP INTO LITTLE PIECES!

a shelter from shrimps on the Barbi..

Don't give me that goody-good Jumbo Shrimp

I got elastic bands keepin' my shoes on
Got those swollen-hand blues
I got thirteen channels of shrimp on the T.V. to choose from

oooh babe
when i pick up the phone
i'm still nobody's prawn

Bring the shrimps back home

Waving My Arms in the Air

who let all this riffraff into the room?

pink floyd rules

solo waters, not so much:

The track also touches on popular Waters motifs such as war, corrupt governments, capitalism and conformity.

"This is the room where they make the explosions / Where they put your name on the bomb / Here's where they bury 'buts' and 'ifs,' scratch out words like 'right' and 'wrong,'" Waters snarls. "Wake up, wake up and smell the phosphorus."

guy really can't sing but not sure if it's the voice or the words that annoys me the most - both so self-important... kind of a shame since musically there's potential in this track (even if it is just a shameless rip of DSotM)

Yeah am surprised how little it seems Nigel Godrich managed to curb the retro Floyd-isms on this.

Have you ever tried to talk a 73-year-old multimillionaire into, or out of, anything? I imagine it's...challenging.

The White House explained.

Vocals are painfully bad. That is the first solo Roger Waters track I've ever listened too, aside from "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict", which was much superior.

Well, it's great to see he's broadened his subject matter lyrically.

Godrich succeeded in talking McCartney out of many lazy decisions when they made "Chaos And Creation In The Backyard"

I doubt anyone's talked Roger out of anything since 1977.

...except possibly having Gilmour's legs broken in '87 or thereabouts.

1947 is probably nearer the mark tbh.

Suave Side of the Moon

thought this would be about the new roger waters song, last refugee, which is his most PF sounding song in years, and is pretty good although there are places where his voice sounds very futzed with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XdLNqWYgGI

would rather hear autotune roger waters than roger waters' natural singing voice at this point

good point. anyway, what I do like about this song is that musically it's pretty engaging; I haven't felt that way about really ANY of his solo work, ever.

Man, I kinda wish he would stop at this point, all the miming to one side, it doesn't feel possible that you could even appreciate the music anymore, it's about the overwhelmingly big projections and his terrible art, making Banksy look like some genius satirist.

See Roger Waters Emasculate Donald Trump With 'Pigs' at Tour Rehearsal

i fucking hate headlines like this and this one is particularly gross and sexist

(xp) He did stop for, like, 25 years there.

Mr Veg got me tickets to last night's show in Sacramento as a Christmas present and I enjoyed it!

At first I was mostly thinking it sucks that he's playing all these awesome songs without Dave etc; and he has Jonathan Wilson share lead vocals on a good portion of the songs and he's fine but it's not the same.

But the band is really good, and the two women he has doing back up vocals are KILLER and once the show gets rolling it doesn't feel as much like a bait and switch w/r/t the projections as it might look on paper.

It's hard not to get caught up in the whole thing when he comes out of intermission with Dog + Pigs back to back.

the 'bernard white' "matilda mother" slays

ah well when Roger's on your side

You clearly don't know about Ringo Starr's art.

"we-need-to-survive-his-presidency"

For a moment, I thought that was a Dave Gilmore quote about Rog..

Went into the Waters show with some doubts, but it pretty much ruled.

Ever wonder what it might've sounded like it Syd finished recording Opel and his backing band was the Velvet Underground?

Uh oh..

"Opel" really needs some band to fill in behind, like Airbus did with Portishead's Sour Times...

if that ever happens to that 100% perfect track, Mark G, I will hold you personally responsible & hunt you down, so be warned

..

well at least it was done by excellent people to great results!

I got salty about that list from a couple weeks ago and decided to write up my own ranking of Pink Floyd's songs. It's 19,000 words. I have no idea what to do with it.

https://pinkfloydsongsranked.blogspot.com/

this is pretty fuckin fab, dude
"bitten by a radioactive mellotron" lolol

...or should i say it RULES

the 'their mortal remains' exhibit at the V&A ruled

you put a lot of frickin time into this rushomancy
I don't think I could put comfortably numb at #1 with how overplayed it is

I'm glad you placed burning bridges somewhat high (high meaning closer to #1)

this is great
