might've mentioned in another thread — an interesting reveal in Richard Thompson's new memoir is that he and Syd were distant cousins. Neither knew it until much later, but it still rules.

That's like the most fully arranged and most commercial song they recorded for the film and yet they didn't put it on the album ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe it was a bit too poppy and reminiscent of the failed post-Syd singles?

Anybody else here heard the album David Gilmour made with The Orb in 2010? I've been listening to it this morning and it's some of the driftiest shit I've ever heard. Some parts sound a little like the quieter sections of Meddle, and there's a beat occasionally, but a lot of it is just endless synth haze with a little Gilmour guitar floating through as if it's playing in the next room.

Was hoping for a massive Immersion-style Animals box set including a miniature inflatable pig. Guess there's not enough live & unreleased stuff in the vaults to justify that, which surprises me but oh well.

lol Roger Waters wants so badly to be the Robbie Robertson of Pink Floyd, if Robbie Robertson bitterly doubled down on every bad thing anybody ever said or implied about him.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 1 June 2021 13:36 (two years ago) link
That said, the last Roger Waters tour ruled.
I bet the memoirs will be printed in the Gerald Scarfe font from The Wall lyric sheet.

He's going to restage "The Wall" (again) only instead of bricks it will be stacked copies of his book (whose cost will be tacked onto the ticket price).
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 1 June 2021 15:10 (two years ago) link
Nick Mason sent copies of his book to the other members before publication; Waters sent it back with "BOLLOCKS" written all across the pages in red pen.
― Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 1 June 2021 15:13 (two years ago) link
BOLLOCKS would be a good title for anyone's memoir.

YouTube comment of the week:
DuckTalesWooHoo19872 days agoTrue Story: When I was a young man my band covered Comfortably Numb and we would always play it note for note and then do an extended jam at the end. There was a girl in the crowd that I had known my whole life and was WAY out of my league. However, after watching me play the solo to Comfortably Numb she decided I was hot enough for her. She is now my wife and we have 2 kids and have been married for almost two decades. Thanks Pink Floyd. LOL!

Ha I just watched that Rick Beato video last night. It rules as does Pink Floyd.
― tobo73, Saturday, 5 June 2021 00:06 (two years ago) link
I have some mixed feelings about Rick beato. Mostly I think he represents everything I hate about music. And then occasionally he says something smart and interesting and has an open mind about things. But mostly I hate watch. He thinks Sting is the greatest songwriter of all time.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 5 June 2021 02:51 (two years ago) link
yes, i completely agree. i'm sure he thinks pearl jam are the apex of musical achievement. i thought the "comfortably numb" one was quite interesting as it is a song i would be happy to never hear again in my life yet he managed to shed some new light on it and i appreciated the song once more. i will still never listen to it again of my own volition though.
― stirmonster, Saturday, 5 June 2021 10:22 (two years ago) link
i tend to listen to his analysis and ignore his opinions, if that makes sense

listen to his dissection of More Than a Feeling, I learned lots.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 5 June 2021 13:19 (two years ago) link
I kind of appreciate his reviewing the top 20 or whatever. You think he’s gonna bash all the pop but and then he gets excited about something. Though it’s usually still about some technical chopsy move. I have seen him dig punky or simplistic stuff for what it is at least. I’ve always loved comfortably numb and still do. Like most people who were teenage boys at some point the Wall was huge for me when I was 12 or whatever. Now I think it’s completely overrated nonsense but a few moments, Esp where gilmours melodic sense kicks in enough, stand out. I have a 1979 theory as a postpunker that when looking at the dark isolationist moves of the time, the Wall is child’s play compared to 154, Unknown Pleasures, Fear of Music etc. there’s specifically certain songs by wire and joy division that have similar “minor” progressions to what appears in the wall. I know this isn’t WIRE RULES but the wall is one of my least favorite Floyd albums compared to what came before.

Ain't that the truth.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Saturday, 5 June 2021 13:41 (two years ago) link
is each Floyd album gradually worse than the ones that came before?
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 5 June 2021 13:46 (two years ago) link
I'm trying and failing to imagine someone whose tastes would correlate exactly to that template, particularly the 1968-1971 run. A die-hard psychedelicist who nonetheless considers Meddle worse than Saucerful of Secrets?

I guess you could say they got more pretentious with each record, assuming one found the pretensions of Ummagumma more listenable than those of The Final Cut?
― Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 5 June 2021 14:42 (two years ago) link
Final Cut I can't standI like Delicate Sound of Thunder moreI'm trying to decide but Obscured By Clouds might be less pretentious than Meddle?

I took a night school class about 10 years ago, where I sat next to this couple who were just a year or so out of high school. We talked a lot before class would start, with one evening in particular devoted to music. The boy brought up Pink Floyd, so I started bringing up different eras, asking if he had a favorite.
"Oh, definitely not Barrett. No no no. The Final Cut--that's a great album!"
I later find out through social media that both of these kids are serious Neocons, hung up on Michelle Bachmann and Benghazi.
