MC - 19 Nov 2004 01:58 GMT I had to drop this on you. Don Henley is a master at making a man remember every failure, every wound. Tiger can smirk all she wants, but it's amazing what a little heartbreak can do to a man.
I sang this song outside a woman's bedroom window one time. She called the police. This was fifteen years ago. Other than a couple of she-devils that succeeded in laying waste to the rest of what this one left, I haven't had a girlfriend since.

From "Building The Perfect Beast":
"You Aren't Drinking Enough"
I can see that you haven't recovered from the girl who let you down And you'd sell what is left of your soul for another go-round You keep telling yourself she means nothing and maybe you should call her bluff But you don't really believe it You must not be drinking enough
Well, the perfume she wore you can buy down at the Five & Dime But on some other woman It don't smell the same in your mind You keep telling yourself you can take it - Telling yourself that you're tough But you still want to hold her You must not be drinking enough
You're not drinking enough to wash away old memories And there ain't enough whiskey in Texas to keep you from beggin', "Please, please, please." She passed on your passion and stepped on your pride Turns out you ain't quite so tough 'Cause you still want to hold her You must not be drinking enough
Ay-yi-yi-yi Ask yourself why You still want to hold her You must not be drinking enough Ay-yi-yi-yi, etc.......

Come on, now! That sounds like something some newbie who doesn't know any better would say about me.
<<I'll see you on the dark side of the moon>>
There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.

But if you sit still, you can only be there for two weeks. The bright side (and therefore the dark side too) is not a fixed place, but appears to move as the Moon rotates.
Seen from the surface of the Earth, the Moon does not appear to rotate. This is because from an outside frame of reference, the Moon rotates once for every time it goes around the Earth. So from our vantage point, the Moon is naturally divided into two halves: the hemisphere we always see, called the nearside, and the hemisphere we do not see, the farside. The farside has only been seen by probes or astronauts that have actually orbited (or at least passed by) the Moon.
This is very different from the dark side. As the Moon orbits the Earth, different parts of it get illuminated by the Sun. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, we see it almost entirely in shadow. This is called the new moon. Half a lunar orbit later (two weeks or so) it is fully illuminated by the Sun, giving us a full moon. In between we get a half moon, sometimes confusingly called a quarter moon because the Moon has completed 1/4 of an orbit. These are called the phases of the Moon (I have heard that some people think that the phases are caused by the shadow of the Earth on the Moon; but that is whole different can of Bad Astronomy).
So imagine you are standing on a spot directly in the middle of the nearside. You would see the Earth straight over your head. If it were new moon to someone on Earth, the Sun would be behind the bulk of the Moon to you. For you, it would be local midnight! Two weeks later it would be full moon to someone on Earth, and it would be local noon to you; the Sun would be high overhead. The half moon to someone on Earth means it would be either sunrise or sunset to you, depending on whether you are a week past new moon or a week past full moon, respectively. You can see that the dark side of the Moon is just simply the night side of the Moon. It is no more a fixed feature than the night side of the Earth.
The Pink Floyd album may be one of the best selling albums of all time, but astronomically it's in eclipse.

The man likes music, that's all I'm sayin'!" The short of it - although he pretty much helped found Pink Floyd with Roger Waters, it was rumored that he was deeply depressed. Massive doses of acid didn't help the situation any, and he was asked to leave the band. He was later institutionalized, but I don't know for how long.
One site said this:
"Roger Kieth (Syd) Barrett was born on January 6, 1946. He joined Water's band in 1965. The many names of the band continued until Syd named it as Pink Floyd, after two of his favorite musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. A few years later, he was removed from the band because he was too heavy into drugs. Syd Barrett may have contributed to Pink Floyd for only one album, but it was Syd who began the structure of the type of "experimental" rock we hear in later Pink Floyd albums. Syd later made some solo albums later which were produced by other Pink Floyd members."
This site has some good info too:

I have spent many an evening contemplating the universe to Pink Floyd, specifically WYWH. Another winner - Roger Waters' "Amused To Death". You can contemplate your navel to James Taylor or Johnny Mathis, but leave the mystery, the power, and the grandeur to Pink Floyd and Roger.

We've had this argument before in this group, but the Pink Floyd of today is only a mere shadow of itself. But hey, they have a gen-u-wine Ferrari fanatic in Nick Mason.

Although I do love Floyd, my all time favorite, walk on water god like, have everything ever recorded on all media forms known to modern day mankind, kneel down to and chant "I am not worthy" if I ever met the surviving members, is....
....drum roll please (Bonzo).....
Led Zeppelin
They are and will always be my favorite band. I adore them as much I do Ferrari.
Some folks say the Beatles made music with meaning. But nothing can compare to the meaning of lyrics such as: "The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed." "If the blues don't work for you you got to boogie." "The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands"
Its poetry....brings a tear to my eyes.

I thought my perspective was surprisingly broad for my tender years... :-(
Speaking of which, I'm getting kinda tender about turning 30 next summer.
> Go listen to some nice techno. If you read my profile on your own website, you'd remember I noted I would listen to more of it if I knew anything about it...
Soooooo, email me some good leads on stuff to check out and I'll give it a listen. As it is I own a good bit of punk, metal, hip-hop, classical, blues, alternative, and yes, even a little country music... I'm spread pretty thin as it is, trying to stay current. The closest I get to techno is old experimental stuff like Afrika Bambaataa and Parliament Funkadelic, but that's more funk than techno. NIN comes close sometimes too, but I guess it's "industrial" or something.
Until you send me this information I'll assume techno, electronica, house, and whatever else falls under that umbrella is nothing more than weird noises and funk samples stolen by guys named "Dieter".

Some of the more "poppish" elements of electronic music are certainly the "soundtrack heroes" like Paul Oakenfold and Fat Boy Slim. The cool thing about electronic music is that each commercially successfull artist usually sticks to what works for him, so almost any CD by a given artist is going to be good. Otherwise you're stuck in a mire of mix tapes, compilations, and recommendations on pieces of paper given to you by some kid so high he was drooling.
Here is the complete list of titles in my electronic collection (MCPD tends to go towards trip-hop, like Massive Attack or Tricky, maybe some others. That's because he's so old and crusty that he can't gig on the dance floor anymore without his walker; it's enough just to try and satisfy the wife. Plus trp-hop goes better with those Thai sticks. You know me, I'm still throwing punkers across the floor at a Bad Religion show, so I'm still feeling my oats; maybe not as many as I used to, but enough that Quaker still calls once in awhile to see if I can help with product.) And before some lurker puts down the X and unplugs the Ipod long enough to try and lob a shell about my admittedly limited collection, I will say there is so much electronic music out there you could get lost in it. I tend to cherry pick because my truest loves are punk, metal, and jazz. I'll put a couple links below the list so you can check out more. By the way, I really like Massive Attack.
The ones with an asterisk after it are personal favorites that get heavier airplay:
Moby - Play * Moby - Move * Moby - 18 Fat Boy Slim - You've Come A Long Way Baby * Fat Boy Slim - On The Floor At The Boutique Fatboy Slim - Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars * Essential Selection, Vol 1. - Fatboy Slim and Paul Oakenfold (double) * Global Undeground 019 (series) - John Digweed/Los Angeles Global Underground 013 - Sasha/Ibiza Projections - Between Here And Now * DJ Shadow - Endtroducing * Morcheeba - Big Calm * Space Daze 2000 (electronic/ambient compliation) Orb - Orbis Terrarium * Liquid Gold - Solid State (compilation) * The Crystal Method - Tweekend * The Chemical Brothers - Come With Us * Ultra Trance (compilation, Vol. 1) Ambient Luxe - this is a Starbucks compilation, but GOOD! Big Beat Vibes - The Future Of Moden Music (compilation) 808 State - Thermo Kings * Conversions - A Kruder & Dorfmeister selection (compilation)
Also - the soundtrack to the movie "Traffic" is an excellent set.

The colloquialism, "dark side of the moon", refers to the fact that the moon's rotational periodicity has synchronized with earth's, such that the same hemisphere of the moon faces earthward constantly. The so-called "dark side of the moon" is the opposite hemisphere of the moon, which can never be directly observed from earth.
Yet, the entire surface of the moon receives light from the sun. Visualize a solar eclipse, where the path of the moon transiting earth's sky intersects the path of sun: The "dark side of the moon" in this instance is bathed with solar radiation just as a "full moon" is.
Only in the sense that the moon has no light generating processes of its own - eg surface lava flow, lightning, phosphorescent plankton - can the moon, or any aspect of it, be said to be "dark".

Don't need to, but you do strain to insult me on a regular basis. What does your therapist say about that?
<<You are _not_ the only person to ever listen to Dark Side of the Moon.>>
And yet for about a week, I was the only one who appeared to know what the quote was about. You were one of the ones posting irrelevant facts about astronomy. Now you tell us that you were being intentionally obtuse, but don't say why and you still haven't said whether you know what the words left off the quote on the album are. Whether you've listened to the album or not won't help you answer that question.

You can persist in playing your little game but, yet again you're going to be playing with yourself.

What can I say, you have very nice TaTa's, your hugs feel good.

Is it possible you could have met up with the clown already? A clown who loves ... Pennywise?

Naw. She would probably just roll her eyes and flash him.

Aren't all clowns evil? I've never understood why people think they're funny. At best, they're annoying, at worst, they're creepy.
And, yes, that was definitely one of the Best Nights. Only thing missing were the Ferraris.

Certainly.

Heh. I'll take that compliment.

And he was smiling! Did you see him smiling? I saw him smiling. And we have pictures!

Phil? > > C. :::who wonders if anyone actually listens to the damn albums::: I'm lost. I just got back from a punk rock concert at the Hollywood Palladium. Bad Religion and TSOL. What a show. General admission. Sold out. My friend and I about six bodies back from the stage. Total, mosh-pit pandemonium. I'm not a mosher, though. I'm one of the guys who rings the pit and pushes people back in that get blasted out of the pit, or get somebody out who wants out, or scrape somebody up off the floor, or give an idiot who wants to crowd surf a boost. Tonight we had one of those priceless moments - this scrawny little kid comes up to my friend and I and motions for a boost. We both boost him, but he's so light he gets up about six feet into the air, and as he comes down everybody parts like the Red Sea and he hits the floor with a sound not unlike what you hear when you dump a large can of wet dog food into a bowl from a few feet up.
My glasses got knocked off during TSOL, but luckily my friend spied 'em and saved my a.s. A dude with 20x1000 vision in both eyes isn't going to star in the mosh pit.
What a show. 43 years old, and I'm still stuffing my face with punk rock. Long live punk rock!!

But who also had to shield his eyes from one of the weirdest things he's ever seen - a "MulletHawk". This guy had a Mohawk, but he was like 50 and it was so shaggy and unkempt that it basically looked like a hideous mullet with the sides shaved off. And he *moshed*! He weighed about 220. He hit me once and I pushed him back out and my hands sank into his blubbery, stanky armpits like quicksand - uggh.
