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.......

There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.

Idiot.
Of course, there is a bright side of the Moon, and you can go to it. 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.

I heard some story about him brushing his teeth alot
or something... What's the real story about Syd Barrett?
My source was sketchy as hell (although, at the time, so
was I) so I don't trust that story. I figure of all people here
Mike will know the real story.

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 think I would pretty much expire if I lived in NY.  That town and I
would practically mate.  Vegas is in the rear view mirror when it comes
to a comparison.  I've never done such a pink-faced reversal when it
comes to something I said I would always hate, would never visit, and
would villify at every opportunity.  All because I watched too much
Sipowicz.

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.

MC

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.

That was a good one!  Wasn't Jim Ladd on that one too - I know he was on
Radio KAOS - a highly underrated album if I might say so myself.  Roger
is a f.cking genius.  He could do so much, whereas David Gilmour does
one thing absolutely superbly - play the guitar.

Agree.

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.

Hey buddy!

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".

Jesus Christ .... "email me some info".  Paul, let me handle the boy's
issues here:

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 *

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  *

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.

Hey!  I resemble that remark! (less of the 'crusty', though - I'll remind

I thought oats were traditionaly sown, rather than felt? each to his own,
I suppose.

The ones with a + after the name get the MCPD seal of approval (that's
not to say that the others aren't good)

Thank you, this is a good start. I guess I already listen to
a good bit of techno too, just don't own much of it. I'm

That's not me.  I don't hit anybody with the big math.  I'm a creative

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".

...Sheer barbarism.

Used to be one had to travel to England or Scotland to witness such
stupidity in the guise of sport.

<<The colloquialism, "dark side of the moon", refers to the fact that the
moon's rotational periodicity has synchronized with earth's>>

Is that what the band members were referencing when they titled their album
"Dark Side of the Moon"?

Clearly you don't know what I'm referring to and are not therefore qualified to
respond. Or you're being intentionally obtuse for your own reasons. Either way,
your little astronomy lessons are unnecessary, but highly ironic considering
the topic at hand. <g>

Rather the metaphor of the colloquial dark side.

>Clearly you don't know what I'm referring to

...The last spoken words of the album.  Do I win hug?

>and are not therefore qualified to respond.

Stuff it, lady.

...How sad, for you, that you only find yourself amusing.

<<Rather the metaphor of the colloquial dark side...>>

Then you knew that your astronomical posts were off topic.

<<...The last spoken words of the album.>>

Did you finally Google the answer or were you being intentionally obtuse before
this? Did the website you found the answer on tell you which words were left
off the quote?

<<Do I win hug?>>

You're not that lucky.

<<Stuff it, lady.>>

Sir, you do offend.

<<...How sad, for you, that you only find yourself amusing.>>

If that gets you thru the night, then who am I to educate you on the error of
your ways?

...From a pissant's Pink Floyd diversion in a automobile newsgroup?

That's novel.

And once again you strain to flatter yourself.  You are _not_ the only
person to ever listen to Dark Side of the Moon.

><<Do I win [a] hug?>>
>You're not that lucky.

SEE Rhetorical.

><<Stuff it, lady.>>
>Sir, you do offend.

Not near what your superciliousness deserves.

><<...How sad, for you, that you only find yourself amusing.>>

No one, trust me.

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.

...Says I'm quite right not to take gratuitous crap from strangers.

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

If there is a hug available, I have dibs on it....

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

A very special night, most definitely. As long as we don't
all have to meet up with an evil clown 30 years from now
like in Stephen King's "It" that'll remain one of the absolute
best night's I've spent.

Ahhh screw it, bring on Pennywise.

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.

Good point.

Yep. Next time though. Even if we have to import them
to "Freakin' Omaha(TM)" next year.

Certainly.

Heh. I'll take that compliment.

<<::I even got a hug from MC when I left Il Cortille.>>

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

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!!

MC

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.

Is this where... we came in?
