I played the "alternate" Matilda Mother to Alice, and she immediately recognised the words from her copy of Hilaire Beloc's Cautionary tales.

She's well read, our Alice.

I kind of think they should milk Floyd fans with lots of different ways to get this stuff. I mean, I'm not going to ever shell out $100+ for the immersion boxes but I would plunk down for the disc of outtakes released as a standalone in a heartbeat.

Good on Alice!

I too would like to get the tunes minus a scarf and trading cards. Regardless, right now "Waiting For The Worms" is owning my ass.

Ditto. The fact that you have to spend $150 minimum just to get two Household Objects songs (one on the DSOTM immersion set, one on the WYWH experience set) does not rule.

when I was a kid I thought the "reds" in "waiting for the worms" was a slur on native americans

the boy with the gorn at his side (Edward III), Friday, 14 October 2011 17:53 (twelve years ago) link

I was like o man why do fascists hate indians

the boy with the gorn at his side (Edward III), Friday, 14 October 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link

first time i heard a lot of those slurs -- queers, coons -- was on that album. uncle rog was telling his nieces and nephews the world can be one shitty place

"And that one's got SPOTS!" … again, The Wall was quite the comedy album for me and the other fourth-graders.

Pleasant Plains, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:06 (twelve years ago) link

I thought he meant like "I'm seein' spots!" in the manner of Looney Tunes or something.

rustic italian flatbread, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:21 (twelve years ago) link

and another with spots!
if i had my way, i'd have all o' you shot!

tumblr finally rules

tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:06 (twelve years ago) link

just contacted support to let them know that their website it broken.

tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link

pinkfloyd started following you

you guys

mutant slow drum (BradNelson), Friday, 14 October 2011 19:18 (twelve years ago) link

me too! don't know what i should do.

tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:19 (twelve years ago) link

you should rule, too, obviously.

If they start following me too I'll let you know.

EZ Snappin, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link

are there any bloggers in the audience tonight?
GET EM UP AGAINST THE WALL

tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:46 (twelve years ago) link

yes. has anyone umm, found that last DSOTM immersion disc, ummm anywhere? ummm.

Yes. The entire box can (could) be found online. Lossless, even.

The Household Objects song is a bit daft. No substance at all. The Richard Wright and Roger Waters demos are very beautiful. The early mix of DSOTM is interesting to listen too once, but the final version of the album is better in many, many ways. The Travel Sequence and Morality Sequence tracks are already known from many bootlegs. And rule!

Sebastian (Royal Mermaid Mover), Friday, 14 October 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link

i've been hooked up by someone who obviously rules.
listening to the alt mix. so weird to not have the lady singer on greatest gig. i mean, i'd heard the early live versions without that, but the studio version is something else altogether.

tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 20:18 (twelve years ago) link

ugh, also redonkulous that on a big huge $100+ immersion set, they can't put out a full, live early version of DSOTM. obviously available on bootlegs, but in mostly cruddy audience recordings. the live "travel/mortality" sequences sound rad here. what shows are they from, the rainbow gigs?

tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 20:54 (twelve years ago) link

is that the "in the celebration of the comet" one? w/the thing from fantastic 4 on the cover?

i have that in my office on vinyl right now? how much does that go for?

the 500 gats of bartholomew thuggins (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 14 October 2011 20:57 (twelve years ago) link

yeah i think that's from the rainbow shows. i will pay you at least a million dollars for that.

kinda digging the household objects snippet. slight, maybe, but it still rules.

tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 20:58 (twelve years ago) link

I was happy to hear that snippet too, but I think they were right to abandon the idea.

EZ Snappin, Friday, 14 October 2011 21:07 (twelve years ago) link

three weeks pass...

got the big new Wish box here now, going to go through it this weekend. RULES.

also has anyone heard these newly remastered Dark Side and Wish vinyl releases? They are absolutely fantastic, have never heard these albums sound so good.

Jamie_ATP, Friday, 4 November 2011 15:34 (twelve years ago) link

I had a Dark Side of the Moon dream last night. It's pretty TMI and I didn't want to bring it onto this thread, so I'm linking to it:

via facefloyd: Finally, the Ultimate Pink Floyd concert is revealed! No huge surprise - the emotional, and powerful, performance at 2005's Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park was the show that gathered the most votes.

funny that the official pinkfloyd.tumblr.com is bsaically taking its cues from this thread!

tylerw, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

They follow half of us. Maybe they tracked us back to our lair.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

would rule to be the floyd's official tumblr-r. just surfing the net looking for different ways to illustrate how much pink floyd rules.

tylerw, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link

true dat.

Davey D, Thursday, 10 November 2011 08:25 (twelve years ago) link

Really interesting to hear that. Sounded good as a one-off, the violin fits nicely with the barroom vibe. It's too bad Grapelli didn't stick around longer during those sessions--a few more runs through and him and DG would have been trading solos. Anyway, that's just the kind of "from the vaults" thing I like hearing.

WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 10 November 2011 21:57 (twelve years ago) link

yeah that is pretty cool!

Wait a minute. 817-555-ppie?

pplains, Saturday, 12 November 2011 03:02 (twelve years ago) link

doug watson, Monday, 14 November 2011 21:45 (twelve years ago) link

hey Pink Floyd people I am listening to the remasters of Saucerful, Obscured By Clouds, and Meddle. They RULE. Especially Meddle. In an era where the word "CD remaster" has come to mean "red flag", these are a beacon of hope.
