I want to ask what was wrong and what you are leaving me but I won't. Glad you are well.

You can have my sock laundry. I already told Doug he can have my Taylor.

Just be glad you didn't come of age during the mid to late 80's.....and have shared (later) a girl with Magic.

I want your Floyd collection.

Dude, I'd be more than happy to make you copies. Shit I'll even ship them to you. $5 Box!
Fer reals though, I'd be more than happy. I actually have a cool The Wall bootleg that has the shit from the movie that wasn't on the album like "The Little Boy That Santa Forgot" and the extended version of Bring the Boys Back Home and a couple other little bits.

I don't want custody of frank or you cat.

Hmmm Re Re is always intriguing.

OK. Tell ya what. I've got a sweet gun collection. You can have your pick of the litter.

Sweet. My dad's best friend is really into guns. I know a little about them.

No need, but thanks. I've been listening since 77ish thanks to a wacky assed music teacher at the Lab schools who probably routinely took acid. One of my first Floyd memories was listening to an argument that Floyd was infinitely better with Syd Barrett....and then being made to listen to pre-Gilmour albums for about a week's worth of classes.

Now about the Ramones....

Ooh.. I dunno...
I do enjoy some Ummagumma, Be careful with that axe eugene and set the controls is very very cool, but I am a HUGE Gilmour fan... huge, never seen a guitarist do more with less (he uses almost exclusively pentatonic scales), just bluesy and soulful and awesome. Although not the most talented guitarist ever to me my favorite. That lead on Comfortably and Time is just... fucking... timeless.

Sometimes I look back and laugh.

My "almosts" include Oprah, Carol Moseley Braun and Queen Latifah. Bizarre, but oddly funny.

I laugh at those thinking that MJeff has a miserable life. His castoffs were still 8-9's.

Thanks Mike.

I won't disagree with you. I really didn't/couldn't get into early Floyd until about 15-20 years ago. And I probably only listen to early Floyd about 10% of the time.

But it's been a fun fucking ride. (Thanks alternative education!)

I hope I do get to meet you someday cause I will make you a copy of that Wall bootleg. It's pretty sweet to have those movie songs on the disc with the album songs. Please for the love of all that is holy remind me if we're gonna be at an event together (or I would mail it to you if you didn't think I'd skittles you.)
Anyway, it's out there. I'll hang up now.

I watched an episode of Classic Albums on BBC the other day. It was Dark Side of the Moon. A lot of interesting stuff. Like Rick Wright stealing the pivot chord on "Breathe" off something he had heard on Kind of Blue, Gilmour not really wanting to play the solo on "Money" in 7/8 time which caused that section to punch up and rock like a motherfucker, and those guys not really knowing what they wanted as a vocal for "The Great Gig in the Sky". They brought Clare Torry in and she started with some standard shit, yeah, yeah, yeahs and stuff and Waters told her, "If that's what we wanted, I would have just used Doris Troy." Then she sang that crazy shit that's on the record. And Waters also does a hilarious imitation of the Italian director of the movie for which they wrote "Us and Them".

Same here. And when we finally meet, I'll buy the first round in honor of Syd.

And the shots I'm getting in honor of Syd have to include you too JORR.

(I still check VH1 Classic on lazy Saturdays just in case they re-run shows like that as well....now where's the damn remote)

I had heard that originally Great Gig was to have lyrics, and the vocals were just a fill in while they were deciding on some things... but it stuck because it was awesome...???

OK, OK, now you've lost me a bit. I love Floyd, but I started going to the Warehouse/Sauer's/the Muzik Box & the Power Plant for House music back in '82-83.

My Floyd waters (no pun intended) don't run that deep. There were too many women & too much jacking in clubs to be done starting around that time.

According to what they were all saying on this show, Wright wrote the main lick and they weren't sure what to do with it. They had the four backing vocalists they were using who Alan Parsons kept referring to as "the girls". I guess they didn't think any of them was right for it so they brought in Clare Torry. At first she sang some words, but they scolded her and then she sang the famous part.

Another funny thing was those odd bits of dialogue. They went around interviewing people working or hanging out in the studio, like janitors and people's wives and stuff. One question they asked was "When was the last time you got in a beef with someone" and then the follow-up, "Were you in the right?" That lead to "I certainly was in the right" and "That geezer was cruisin' for a bruisin'."

"jacking"? in clubs?


What the hell kind of bar is that?

YES, that's where the "Short sharp shock" came from.

As I sit here listening to Eddie Kendricks' "Going Up In Smoke" (a classic house cut), I wonder if you're serious.

The 80's were great, if you relaxed and let it flow.

Sorry you missed out. It was a fucking blast. Even more fun than watching the Ramones screw around as a 10-11 year old.

There was also some cool footage of the recording of DSOTM on the "Live in Pompeii" disc.

Back on topic, I started getting blood work done each year, just to establish baselines for later on. You can go to these labs and get a battery of tests done relatively cheaply. Of course, the price doesn't include a doctor's interpretation of the results.

Here's the place I used recently:
