Yeah, so, Genesis are touring the UK and Ireland this year. Ticket prices as high has £176.50!

WHO - The Who. Their new album is a much better effort than their previous one, IMHO.

Alright, so Episode IX was bad. Not as bad as Episode VIII, but it was still a huge snooze fest that derailed the overall story of the Skywalker Saga. For me, I'm just going to use Episodes II-VII as my canon movies and just treat Episode VII as a coda to the saga where all of the bad guys die on S...

The meat and potatoes is obviously the new remake of A Momentary Lapse of Reason . Is it better than the original? Of course it fucking is. [...] The strong tracks from before ("Learning to Fly", "One Slip", "Terminal Frost", "Sorrow") are even better [...] Well, here I must disagree. "Terminal Fro...

Getting married in five hours... see you all on the other side

Congrats!

There's something in this box called " The Endless River video" which I assumed would be some of the weird nautical footage we saw in the "Louder Than Words" video and promos, strung together into a short EPK or something, but no! it is, in fact, a full 50-minute short-film to accompany the album (i...

I wonder if the upcoming re-working of AMLOR will change people's minds...

I miss everyone here. I miss the magic of hearing so much Pink Floyd for the first time, and sharing all of those memories with all of you. I know a lot of PFO and here had been Floyd fans for a long time, but I hadn't gotten on board until Summer '12. Even now, I still find new things in old favor...

The Later Years 1987 – 2019 boxset So, here's the next over-priced boxset from the Pink Floyd cash cow. Contents: CDs A Momentary Lapse of Reason - remixed and updated. Nick Mason has re-recorded most, if not all, of the drum parts and Rick Wright's keyboard performances from the '87-'89 tours have...

Diwrnod da i fod yn Gymro yw heddiw! Today is a good day to be Welsh!

Quick thought: the United Nations has determined that 5 million Americans live in "third world" conditions. I'm not sure exactly how the world sees America these days, but it comes out to 14% of our population living in extreme poverty despite being considered a wealthy global power. I don't know w...

So this eBay auction is going better than I had hoped.

When I hear an Englishman saying "half six", my immediate assumption will be that he means 5:30. Then again, this isn't even wrong if you take our time zone difference into account.

Welsh follows the English too: hanner awr wedi chwech is literally "half (an) hour past/after six".

Half six clearly means three.

TIL that, apparently, Americans find the way Brits tell the time confusing. Specifically, I'm talking about phrases like "half six". I had never, ever thought that this could be ambiguous because these expressions are so ubiquitous in the UK. Apparently, to Americans "half six" instinctively means 5...

It's just his In Concert DVD, it's been uploaded to his official YouTube channel. I'm assuming the songs you're unfamiliar with are "Je crois entendre encore" which is from a Georges Bizet opera called Les pêcheurs de perles (David speaks fluent French after all) and " Dimming of the Day " is a song...

I think this should change to non-English language music, as the UK and US both have languages which allow access to further traditions and cultures. I mean, being Welsh means I have access to Welsh-language music which, even though still "British" in a vague sense, is very different in some context...

Spent the weekend in the ER. Apparently the heart is held in place by a membrane that also regulates blood flow, and mine has decided to become inflammed for no good reason.

I briefly saw something on Twitter. How are you now?

Is this a foreboding of Gilmour's retirement? https://www.christies.com/features/Davi ... 637-3.aspx

Many things piss me off on an almost daily basis. This morning I awoke to see the following tweet from English newspaper, The Sunday Times , tweeted yesterday: "Should Wales continue to support the teaching of Welsh in schools?" – https://twitter.com/thesundaytimes/status/1087014103544139776 How the...
