Pink Floyd v2 - Puns, Oysters and Rock & Roll - General

Plebs will be plebs. I haven't given the Cow album a listen in a long while.

Just got something nice as a christmas present [img]http://i.imgur.com/SchtU.jpg[/img]

Oh shit I've seen that Kubrick collection thingie in a store near me... MUST HAVE

I want the Wish You Were Here Immersion. Because, in my opinion it's their best album, Dark Side is a close, close, close second.

Yeah so ok, I kind of got this for Christmas. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oOLUG.jpg[/IMG] I pretty much love my sister right now.

[QUOTE=AK'z;33881962]Come on you know I was kidding. :)[/QUOTE] Yes I do also merry christmas fp

Enjoying this. [img]http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/418/cover_394321612010.jpg[/img] :dance:

Listening to Wish You Were Here, not even halfway through and I'm enjoying it loads.

aw yeah I got the remastered DSOTM. I already had it but I think I'll keep the remastered because I can imagine it sounding waaaay better. I can't wait to see what Santa Claus and the rest of the family bring tomorrow. :D

So i got a RC Helicopter for christmas. It has searchlights on it. The very first thing i did when i got time to myself was flew it around in the dark screaming [H2]"STAND STIILLLL LADDIE!"[/H2]

So I got two itunes gift cards this christmas, both are $15. I spent the first one, got David Bowie's [I]Low[/I] and some Tim and Eric. After getting the second one later at a relative's house, I go to redeem it on Itunes. Just then I notice a pre-orders tab. Pink Floyd was listed on it. I go click it. [url=http://itunes.apple.com/us/preorder/the-wall-deluxe-experience/id467049726] This is what I find. [/url] It's $30. I spent half of the Itunes money I got total, and I'm left with the other half. [img]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/whydowe_fall/GIFS/orig-11119061jpg.gif[/img] On the bright side, I was still able to buy the WYWH deluxe, which is also really cool.

Its a commentary on the madnesses of the world ie obsession with money, being impatient, conflict between people, drug use, etc etc Brain Damage is the only song specifically about Syd Barrett

I heard it was about all aspects of life.

Both of you are correct. DSOTM's message is that those madnesses of the world listed by teacup = aspects of life. Modern life to be exact. And its message still rings true as it did 40 years ago, which is why its such a [i]Time[/i]less album. :mmmsmug:

Listening to Bike. So funny and terrifying at the same time.

[QUOTE=Phycosymo;33900029] IIRC it's apparently about Syd Barret's spiral into drugs.[/QUOTE] That's just an element of the album. Although it's not directly a theme, like "Shine on".

Pie charts are hilarious.

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;33903430][img]http://graphjam.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/funny-graphs-things-i-do-no.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Correction, 31 pages.

I really like The Division Bell - I don't understand why everyone that reviews it says it has awful quality to the lyrics - I think they're pretty good.

We enjoy Division Bell. Not their best. Good example of 90s space rock. [editline]27th December 2011[/editline] Have to admit that the lyrics aren't why I enjoy it.

Trust me I've been through the exact same stages.
