I wonder if that's where the idea for the LP came from
They all went outside one night, and Waters' gargantuan conk blocked out the moon...

could be
pretensions and song meaning etc. aside, there is some fantastic music on that album. Rick Wright really had some talent.

The odd thing I find with them is that they are all so middle class. seems unusual.

My mate's mum went out with him at art school
He was a nice guy I am told.

he always came across as such
in fact, they all do/did apart from waters who came across as a bit of a knobhead.

As far as I can see this is correct.
We've had this chat before but I was amazed at how decent a guy Gilmour is. I always had him pegged as a usurper but the work he put into Barrett's solo stuff simply to help out an old mate was really touching. All the music behind Barrett's acoustic ramblings on his solo LPs was added afterwards under the aegis of Gilmour. They had nightmares because it's all out of time.

Brilliant, brilliant records though.

some of gilmore's solo stuff is worth checking out
his 78 (I think) solo effort had some gems on it, and the Live in Gdansk performance is out of this world.

His guitar-gurning makes me feel better about my own as well.

I was unaware that he helped out with Barrett's stuff, what a nice chap.

One of the interesting things they were saying last night is that after Dark Side was so successful they were like "what next? we're rich and famous, that's the dream, now what?"

the answer is clearly: drugs, and more drugs!

this is where my band would fall apart.

The thing is
you can still do that even if you got nowhere - just look at Winchester's premier psychedelic funk band 'Electric Head Funk'...

that is true
two of my band claimed to be giving up pot this year

needless to say they have collapsed under the relentless toking schedule set by our singer and I at band practices.

I fucking love that name. can't beat a good band name. At some point I intend to form a heavy metal folk band called the Crackhouse Ceilidh Band (if she lets me).
