The connection is a track called "Explosion", recorded for Zabriskie Point, which was replaced by "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up". "Explosion" has the characteristic construction of "Eugene" but is quite different. I highly recommend checking it out. The best way to hear it is to listen to "Eug...

Did you know – that "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" began life as an attempted re-invention of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene"?

Seeing as I've had to take some annual leave, I've decided to dust off my copy of The Early Years 1975–1972 . As well as gaining a renewed appreciating for "Atom Heart Mother", I decided to watch More and La Vallée for the first time. My verdict? They're shit. More is excruciatingly boring despite a...

Title says it all really. The 2019 restored, re-edited, remixed version of Delicate Sound of Thunder is being released as a standalone release, which was only previously available as part of the (rather expensive) Later Years box set. Versions available: Triple LP Double CD DVD BD CD + DVD + BD delu...

Nick's Live at the Roundhouse is now out on all the usual formats. All of the audio is on YouTube and a handful of videos. Apparently, when they hit the road again next year (for which I have tickets) they are hoping to add "Echoes" to the set. Hopefully they'll change it up a bit more and drop "One...

Have we all survived Coronavirus so far?

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...

I hope he's really coming and not an April fools joke.

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...
