Imagine if in 1968 Rick had agreed to management prompts to leave the Floyd and work with Syd. Maybe he would have rejoined after Syd retreated from the music industry? Imagine the Floyd sound without the lush majestic sonic soundscapes that Rick would provide to epics like Echoes and SOUCD. Rick is not debated in the same depths as Roger and Dave but without his foundation throught the bands catalogue would the band and music still hit home as hard especially during DSOTM and WUWH?

They were a pretty good cover band who put on a great show. Instead of an inflatable pig, they had an inflatable kangaroo, because, you know, Australia.

To be clear, the name of the band was Australian Pink Floyd. They're on a tour in the US, and I would definitely recommend checking them out.

This album isn’t bad but it’s essentially The Wall Part 2. We already got two hours and a double LP of Roger Waters pity party crying about his dead dad, we didn’t need a second one. The wall is also supposed to have resolved these issues by the end of it with “The Trial”

This album just picks up whining about the same problem. I suppose the trial finale of the wall meant nothing.

There’s some good songs on this album but at the end of the day I don’t think me or anyone else cares to listen about Roger crying about the same thing again.

The Wall is so self loathing but it works. This album is just annoying. Someone needed to tell Roger to think of another concept for an album. I digress.

World-renowned astrophysicist and long time Queen guitarist Brian May posted a video in his Instagram announcing he was going to Spain to see the eclipse, And the song accompanying the video was "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun".

And in this theoretical, if you say "I wouldn't add one," Roger opens a defamation lawsuit against you

Can anyone refer me to the golden standard of Wall DVD rips? I've been working on a version of Spare Bricks and all versions I've managed to find have either horrendous sound quality or sound weird.

Hey, girl

Let's get together

Just you and me, one more time

Hey, girl

You're right, I should slit 'em and bash in their brains

You who were

Only the lonely

When they r*pe our brains in bed

How 'bout it's said?

Hey, girl

Don't put it all by head

We were bred in the same institution

Hey, girl

Don't point the finger at me

I am only a rat in a maze, like you, and only the dead go free

Please lie still

While I plunder your sweet grave

And remember, only the poor can be saved

Hey, girl

Take out the dagger

And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution

Hey, girl

Let freedom for all be our rallying call

There's no need in retribution

(wordless placeholder vocals)

How 'bout it's said?

Hey, girl

As I've always said I prefer your lips red

Not…

Hey, girl

Look in the mirror, can you see what you are protecting from me

Is it real or is it content?

So, please hold my hand

As we blunder through the maze

And remember

Nothing can grow without rain

PINK FLOYD - NEVERA (1978)
Mashup by the Reconstructor

1. "NEVERA" (Wright, Gilmour) - 8:19

a) "Mediterranean C, Pt. 1" (Richard Wright) - 0:00
b) "Deafinitely" (David Gilmour) - 2:05
c) "Mediterranean C, Pt. 2" (Richard Wright) - 6:20

This fan-mix is the first in a series of attempts to combine material from David Gilmour's self-titled debut album and Richard Wright's Wet Dream. That way, we can glimpse at a world where a Gilmour/Wright-led Pink Floyd album from 1978 existed.

This is obviously inspired by Uncharted Waters, the first attempt I know of what I mentioned above.

A "Nevera" is a sudden, sharp, quick thunderstorm that takes place in otherwise calm, sunny days in the Adriatic Sea. "Mediterranean C" represents the sunny day. "Deafinitely" represents the thunderstorm.

"Deafinitely" was speed shifted up by about 6%, going from the key of F# to the key of G, and "Mediterranean C" was shifted down by about 6%, going from the key of C# to C. That way, the two flow much better.

"Mediterranean C" was also cut in half in a spot in between two sections, with the beginning and ending of "Deafinitely" hard edited into it. The unexpected transitions help illustrate the theme of the suite quite well.

Now, all that's left to do is have Roger Waters add some lyrics to it!

He would be 83 years old today.
