Syd Barrett dies aged 60
Well, so long you crazy diamond, you wore out your welcome with random precision, your lost soul wont be in that fishbowl for year after year anymore.
As in all things Pink Floyd it is strainge to note that the Pulse DVD went on sale yesterday in a matter of sublime irony, as it was the last concert of the band before live 8 last year. The icons of the 60's are now passing away before our eyes.  And John Spencer, snooker player went as well. Last edited by Thomas J Stamp : 12-07-2006 at 08:45. |

Been listneing to "Wish You Were Here" recently. It's got to be one of the most radio unfriendly albums of all time. Fantastic.

I heard Shine on played in full (both parts) once on radio & I remember listening to "One of these Days" on Donal Dineen one Sunday night driving to Cork, I've never heard Echoes played on the radio.
Now that is radio unfriendly. |

Yes but with AHM they left a few bits and pieces for an orchastra to fill in (along with a spooky choir) the results a right mess. That said two of my favs, Fat Old Sun and Summer 68 (or is it 67?) are on there and the first precurser to the wall If can be found there, a track which should get us all worked up....."if i were a train i'd be late, again....."
