PINK FLOYD

See you on the dark side.

I saw that yesterday, just amazing rotting brain syndrome everywhere.

graphic design has really taken a nose dive since 72 huh

Tell me you're repressed without telling me you're repressed.

You re-pressed Saucerful of Secrets without telling me?!

wonder if that's Michael Donovan of Dewsbury

Looks like the feud between Waters and I guess Gilmour just got a whole lot worse. Not sure why Gilmour's wife Polly Samson tweeted that out to Waters (truth be told, I didn't realize she was married to Gilmour until 10 minutes ago), but maybe someone here does?

yeah I wasn't sure what she was responding to, unless it was his previous tweet that Israel was smearing him. No doubt Waters has gotten beyond the pale; I don't like the government of Israel either, but the dude is so in the bag for putin he can't be trusted on anything. Her slamming him for lip synching was pretty funny. Gilmoure retweeted her with his support on the statement.

It's a bit weird that these 80 year olds are bothering to even snipe at each other at this point.

I read something about them having a Ukrainian daughter in law? That may explain some of it. Regardless, Roger is such a notorious crank and asshole that it's not that hard to find reasons why someone would dislike him. Here's one more reason I just learned of: he's reportedly re-recording "Dark Side of the Moon": "The new concept is meant to reflect on the meaning of the work, to bring out the heart and soul of the album... musically and spiritually. I’m the only one singing my songs on these new recordings, and there are no rock and roll guitar solos."

What a dick.

thank god someone is finally taking those sick guitar solos out of Dark Side

tbf, it's gotta be better than that "Great Dance Song" version of "Money".

All solos will be on kazoos.

It won't RULE.

It would rule if Pink Floyd did that though

i think the flaming lips already did it?

rog & dave endlessly feuding def does not rule … besides feuding via yr wives gets you into super lame queensryche territory which, cmon

taking the guitar solos out of dark side rmde“mm yes i love this new bread-only quarter pounder i really hate all the everything that makes it taste good”
can’t we get him to like, idk, volunteer to go to the actual moon & stay there

Belgorod will do just fine.

(I was being extra cranky with him this past fall going around and seeing posters for his appearance at Chase Center. Why the hell is he still pulling that big a crowd.)

Rog solo Dark Side in 2023 is gonna sound like The Final Cut sung by Ian McKellan & brickwalled. Can’t wait.

I suppose I have been blessed to go through life without such a grudge, but good lord people Waters has been carrying this axe Eugene for now over 30+ years.

I guess since Crosby is dead, Roger just wants the world to know he is ‘the’ most jaded of rich old yet living rock stars. F’n lame.

All solos will be on kazoos.

Balalaikas.

The best music performance i ever witnessed on the subway was an entire classroom of kids and their teacher doing Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band > With A Little Help From My Friends on kazoos. It ruled, of course.

Most jaded of rich old yet living rock stars, riding the subway.

(scowling at Macca in first class)

Of course they were getting along, relatively speaking, only ‘recently’

lol @ calstars, josh

lol when Aaron Mate jumps in...

What’s demonstrable here is your bitter jealousy of Roger’s packed arena tours and political courage.

ldoes he think gilmour couldn't pull the exact same crowds with a pink floyd nostalgia tour?

lol if Gilmour did something similar this year with Dark Side to what Waters has been doing with The Wall, it would be an insane blockbuster.

yeah i mean bigger/more beloved album, and thanks to the 90s era there's a lot of gen x/older millennials who associate it as gilmour's band way more than waters'

And Nick's touring Saucerful of Secrets....

Bob Klose is touring Lucy Leave...

https://pitchfork.com/news/pink-floyds-roger-waters-addresses-un-security-council-about-russian-invasion-of-ukraine/

Roger Waters addressed the United Nations Security Council today (February 8), appearing at the invitation of Russian diplomats amid the country’s ongoing martial campaign in Ukraine. Waters appeared by video conference at the U.N.’s New York headquarters. Introduced by security council president Vanessa Frazier as a “civil peace activist,” the musician called for an “immediate ceasefire,” claiming to speak for the “voiceless millions” while disavowing so-called Ukrainian “provocateurs.” Watch his remarks in full, beginning around -36:00, here. Pitchfork has contacted Waters’ representatives for further comment.

Though he condemned all violence “in the strongest possible terms,” Waters claimed that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, was “not unprovoked,” a sentiment at odds with the general diplomatic consensus of Russian aggression. “If this is a toothless chamber,” he said, referring to the council, “I can open my big mouth on behalf of the voiceless, without fear of my head getting bitten off. How cool is that?” Nearing the end of his statement, Waters relayed advice he’d gotten from his mother: “Read, read, read. Find out everything you can about whatever it is.”

In response to Waters’ remarks, Japan’s Osuga Takeshi said that efforts to end the war should be “about recovering the dignity and people of individuals through stopping Russian aggression and achieving sustainable peace.” United States ambassador Richard Mills pointedly expressed his skepticism of Waters’ position. “While I certainly acknowledge his impressive qualifications as a recording artist, his qualifications to speak to us as an expert briefer on arms control or European security issues [are] less evident to me,” he said.

Speaking on behalf of the United Kingdom, Barbara Woodward criticized the meeting in broader terms, saying that Russia was attempting to “deflect responsibility for its war.” She pointed to the country’s increased armament as evidence that Russia is not sincere in its efforts at diplomatic conflict resolution. “Russia is why there is no peace in Ukraine,” she said.

Ukrainian ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya rebutted Waters during the proceedings, noting Pink Floyd’s banishment from the Soviet Union in 1979 for their condemnation of its invasion of Afghanistan. “Mr. Waters knows so little, but he seems to know it so fluently,” Kyslytsya said. He continued, quoting Waters’ own songwriting, “How sad for his former fans to see him accepting the role of just another brick in the wall: the wall of Russian disinformation and propaganda.”

Waters has maintained a skeptical stance toward Russia’s imposition in Ukraine, earning rebukes from colleagues and fans. Prior to Waters’ U.N. appearance, Polly Samson, the wife of Waters’ former Pink Floyd band mate David Gilmour, called Waters an anti-Semitic, misogynistic Putin apologist in a tweet, with Gilmour affirming her assessment in his own post. Last year, Waters told Rolling Stone that he believes he’s on a Ukrainian “kill list,” and that reports of Russian forces perpetrating human rights abuses are “lies, lies, lies, lies.”

Every word demonstrably true https://t.co/KWk4I3bMTN

i was skeptical about reading. what is it good for. but then i heard roger waters at the un security council and he changed my mind

so glad I finally get to hear Dark Side without all those pesky original arrangements

After 17 years, Yeeshkul is closing.

(unsurprised by this. i'm going to miss yeeshkul's happy birthday email. it was always the first one i received)

Absolutely gutted about this :(

“Both of them” LOL

what does he mean by that?

Idly wondering how much internet bandwidth is being soaked up with Yeeshkul download traffic before it shuts down for good on the 28th.

I'd imagine there are probably two or three terrible concept albums worth of vitriol boiling up in the man by now.

this has prob been posted at the thread before but i am vibrating at an intense and sympathetic frequency with this live ultra-fat "fat old sun" from the from oblivion bootleg

Heads up, Yeeshkul is reconstituting here: https://ravinganddrooling.com

i listened to the remix of momentary lapse last night. i'm sorta categorically opposed to any "de-eighties-ifying" kind of remixing project, i'm not interested in hearing an album lifted out of its production context, but i have to say it's the first time i really enjoyed the record

nice to hear more mason and wright on it, though god knows a pink floyd record is the only context in which i'd prefer to hear nick mason over jim keltner
