Syd Barrett Dies
Sadness. Syd Barrett, vocalist and songwriter for Pink Floyd, has passed away at the age of 60.
What's your favorite Pink Floyd track or album? Barrett Era or not. Besides every second of The Wall, I have an incredible love for "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict", not merely because it was one of my first exposures to sound and music intended to set a scene, but because I'd never imagined a title like that.

Shine On
Trivial note probably shared by several others...on the day of Syd's passing, I received my long-awaited "Pulse" DVD (my VHS copy is long worn out). One of the better concert DVDs/videos there is, and it still barely does justice to the live show. If you know someone you want to make a Floyd fan, show 'em Pulse :-)
