Wow, I guess it was blogged a couple hours in advance, but I assume for most people that was one damn awesome surprise. And he goofed the lyrics, nonetheless.

That video was amazing.


Regarding the "reunion" -- IMO the word can have different meanings.  If one member of the band is now dead, there can never be a proper reunion.  But if the other three get back together, then that's the closest it's going to get.  Calling it a reunion in that case is easier than saying "reunion of the remaining living members" or something.

So the last proper reunion was and will always be Live 8.  But I'd say that given the history of the band, any time you can get Waters and Gilmour together, especially with Nick Mason on board, you could call it a reunion.

Going through one of my The Wall binge phases at the moment, I'm really looking forward to the third disc of the deluxe or whatever it's called edition, with any luck it'll have the Final Cut songs as they were meant to be; it should also mean I will finally be able to make my extended Wall cycle, in studio quality :loser:

I've been reading The Illustrated Biography PINK FLOYD by Marie Clayton:

https://www.amazon.com/Pink-Floyd-Classic-Rare-Unseen/dp/1907176144/ref=sr_1_12?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312903253&sr=1-12

It's a tad over 200 pages but more like only 50 since most pages only contain no more than 1/3 of actual text with the rest being really neat photos from throughout their career. The pages are quite thick and eye-pleasingly glossy and I got it hardcover(not even sure if paperback exists, let alone if it could even do justice to what the point of what the book is about, photos, after all) for only ten bucks at Barnes and Noble's clearance rack.

I saw the only Amazon.com review of it give it a 2/5 rating because of what they thought were inconsistent dates listed for some pics(don't know if this is true) but for the price and generally good quality of the book I've been very pleased as now when I take dumps I'm biting my lips in anticipation of the next page and not just due to abdominal pain.

No prob. This may sound weird but I recommend using it as a bathroom book or at least reading it in several short sessions since it can easily be knocked out in a few hours which may leave you feeling somewhat jipped.

I love all their stuff, except for The Final Cut (which just makes me insanely unhappy), but my favourite three are Dark Side Of The Moon, Meddle and Obscured By Clouds.

Dark Side Of The Moon is just perfect to my mind, especially the use of slide guitar on Breathe and The Great Gig, and also I love the keyboards on it too. (Pink Floyd needed more Richard Wright on albums after it, I think).

Meddle would be worth the purchase even if it was just Echoes and One Of These Days, particularly as Echoes is my favourite song. It just has everything. I do like the rest of the album too, especially A Pillow Of Winds, but Echoes and One Of These Days are just brilliant.

Obscured By Clouds has a few moments which aren't quite as good as the rest of it, but in general I love it, especially the opening instrumentals.

Dark Side-It got me into the Floyd and paved the way for me to get into numerous other classic rock bands I'd previously written off simply cuz I was so fed up with hearing folks try to sell them on me in overbearing ways(Zeppelin, Doors, Hendrix, and Beatles also fell into this category and I've gotten into all of them to varying degrees since.) Also it was the soundtrack to the summer where I made the transition from casual to everyday stoner. I miss those days [/cleaner lungs now]

Animals-Three absolute beastly good epics. 'Nuff said but just to elaborate a tad I will say I loved figuring out the entire bassline to Sheep in only two listens and Dogs is such a beautifully gentle blanket for my ears that I can forgive SW for ripping it off for Time Flies.

Wish You Were Here-Tossup between this and Meddle. I had every intention of making Meddle the bronze medal in this trio(seriously didn't mean the awful pun) but Seamus and San Tropez weigh it down like an anchor for me so, despite Echoes far and away being my alltime Floyd fave, I had to go for Wish You Were Here since the only track I don't really care for is the title track. It ain't bad imo but I really hate most acoustic songs that are dominated by cowboy chords(open chords.) Just spent too many nights in bars with open mic going well till that one redneck asshole(come to the south and you'll see) gets up and plays five straight songs where no other chord beyond C, D, or G should even dare try to find its way into one of their lost my girl/lost my money/I gotta be free so ah play mah geetar-style musical abortions. Also it's the only Floyd song my cover band plays which pisses me off since there are numerous better options. Have a Cigar is a fantastic song too thanks to that awesome keyboard lick in the intro.

I agree. The mere coincidence that two people whom have never met IRL or discussed either song before now yet have that opinion is surely something that can be overlooked.  :heart Don't beat me up if I see you at a meetup.

I thought SW had gone on record as stating that it was a very intentional "homage" to Dogs...something about Time Flies being based on personal experiences and Animals being the PF album he was listening to the most at that time of his life.

Thought this tour was over. Yes, definitely go if you can if you are at all a fan of The Wall. The production alone makes it worthwhile, and since DG doesn't sing as much on this album as on others, you won't miss him as much as you might otherwise. It feels like a RW show more than a PF one, but he is having so much fun and the show will kick your ass so much it doesn't matter.

I listened to the WYWH remaster earlier this week and it blew me away! I'm not a fan of the whole "remastering" trend lately, but hell... if people are gonna put out remasters like THIS ONE, I am all for it!

Can't wait to listen to the rest of the remasters, and actually considering getting the WYWH boxset
