PINK FLOYD

Forgot to mention that I finished the book. Finally, a book about the Floyd that adds in the trash-talk, sex, drugs, and bad behavior that every good rock and roll story needs. Highly recommended, though be forewarned that no one comes out unscathed.

Classic Albums: DSOTM is now on Netflix streaming and is quite good. (I'm certain it was mentioned upthread as well)

The chord change RIchard Wright settles upon in "Great Gig in the Sky" and how he came up with it is worth the other 46 minutes of slow-motion British people walking across bridges.

i posted that pic of gilmour and the mccartneys on my blog a few months back accompanying a roundup of floyd bootlegs. it is now pretty much the most popular thing i've posted (no one cares about the bootlegs, just the picture).

46 minutes of slow-motion British people walking across bridges.

I couldn't help but think of this when I was listening to Floyd while making my way through the BART station this morning.

I have inherited an SACD of WYWH, no idea what I can play it on, DVD Player? It's pretty though, like a little book.

I heard Maca's "No More Lonely Nights" at the grocery store the other day--the guitar solos RULED.

I love how Saucerful of Secrets pointed out that Gilmour and Waters kept trying to one-up the other, Waters touring with ERIC GOD CLAPTON and Gilmour finding some other bassist to work with by the name of JAMES PAUL MCCARTNEY.

man, i love no more lonely nights, sounds like it could've been on Thriller.

The Pink Floyd Channel launches on SiriusXM

Our friends in the US have another treat in store - well, those who have access to Sirius XM Radio, that is. In the extensive Roger Waters interview last night with Jim Ladd, Roger revealed that "The Pink Floyd Channel" will launch on their subscription service. It will feature "vintage concerts, special interviews and the entire Pink Floyd catalogue".

It is due to launch on May 25th, which is the start of the US Memorial Day weekend (May 28th is a public holiday). It goes live at midday ET on the 25th, and will run through to Monday, May 28th on channel 27. The channel will also be available Friday, June 29th through to Monday, July 9th on Sirius channel 142 and XM channel 43. Additionally, "The Pink Floyd Channel" will be available as a 24/7 channel online on channel 802 and through the SiriusXM Internet Radio App for smartphones and mobile devices beginning Friday, June 29th for an extended period.

The channel will not just feature Pink Floyd's music, but also solo albums by Pink Floyd members Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Syd Barrett, "live concerts, rarities, demo versions of classic Pink Floyd songs and studio outtakes". Listeners will also hear an in-depth interview conducted by Jim Ladd with Roger Waters, as well as with David Gilmour and fellow Pink Floyd member Nick Mason.

"The Pink Floyd Channel" will be curated and hosted by SiriusXM host Jim Ladd, the legendary free-form DJ who has been conducting interviews with Pink Floyd since 1979. Ladd was also part of Roger Waters' album Radio KAOS and subsequent tour. Ladd hosts his own, eponymous weekday show on Deep Tracks, channel 27.

"I can't think of a better home for the Pink Floyd catalogue, and all the solo stuff, than SiriusXM," said Roger Waters. "How cool for all our fans and what a great way to introduce the work to new generations of listeners."

JIM LADD! I used to listen to him on KLSX when I was 12. My brother and I totally made fun of him because after a song he liked, he'd go "Loooooord have mercy!"

curious about the live/rarity aspect of this though!

SIRIUS FLOYD RULES

(or sounds like it will)

The Doors in 1972?

hologram jim morrison

wish you were here

they were probably promoting this smash

I didn't know the Doors kept going! figures.

yeah there's also this one (get it?)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c2/The_Doors_-_Other_Voices.jpg

xxxp yeah, I remember Jim Ladd too. there seemed to be a lot more variety with radio programming back then (up into the early 90s) - I remember him throwing on some more relatively obscure psych sometimes

Funny how Elektra let them carry on for two albums, one more than they let Echo and the Bunnymen carry on for.

Right. Back to the t-rex discussion...

"Minutes of the British Rock Meeting held 5.20.72...absent: S. Barrett, J.Morrisson..."

And funny how they listed the people in The Faces. Because S.Marriot was also missing...

Never bothered to hear post Morrison Doors till YouTube came around but there's a cool clip of a song called tightrope walker or something that's pretty good.

i haven't heard any of it, but i'll admit that the full circle cover makes me interested. i'll check out youtube! no reason why it has to the worst thing in the world, i guess.

let's all listen to this together

excited to get to this
The Mosquito (No Me Moleste Mosquito)- 19:44

let's all listen to this together

hawww, yeah. second song is ok. i mean, it really sounds very little like the doors. they should've just picked a new name, but i guess that would mean less $$$.

[pink floyd rules]

I think for my own sanity I'll skip that one, thanks all the same lol

The Droops

The Dours

I dunno, the first song on Full Circle isn't that far off something Bob Weir woulda put out.

album is hitting bottom with "good rockin' tonight". and then no me moleste mosquito!

Not So Much "Doors" As A Bead Curtain

sorry to hijack this important thread w/ doors nonsense! Here is the last floyd bootleg i listened to. it rules.

I have not as of yet been able to determine why "Pink Floyd Finger Puppets" rules.

I know it must. But I can't shake the feeling that the guy who posted it is going to hunt me down and kill me.

had a shitass day and then I re-watched Classic Albums - Dark Side of the Moon ...like magic.

fukn Floyd man

of all the bands that I enjoy listening to, there's just something about Floyd where 'being in the mood' is irrelevant because as soon as you hear it you're instantly in full receiving mode. Every song has a favorite part, and the whole thing, Dark Side, just lifts you out of yourself. (And no I didn't smoke a damn thing lol). You know? Wish I could build a time machine and go back to those old Floyd days where you could see them play their guts out to a blazed audience for no money.

PINK FLOYD RULES

^^HOTS otm re: mood to listen to the Floyd.

Dark Side, just lifts you out of yourself.

The lines of the prism formed a heartbeat line inside the gatefold of the vinyl issue and once during "Us & Them" when the lyric "the lines moved side to side", they did.

Ruled

lorrrd have mercy

okay so...
