Man I enjoyed that Animals Remix.

So Roger Waters is in camp Russia now?

[LetMeSleep]

Is that the rolling stone interview? I haven’t heard it yet.

[contamination]

I think he's been saying stupid things about the war for a while now. He was already declared persona non grata in Poland because of that.

They randomly dropped a bunch of dark side era bootlegs on streaming platforms.. no sure the quality tho

"There is a teenage Ukrainian girl, Alina, with whom I exchanged long letters: “I hear you. I understand your pain.” She answered me, thanked me, but stressed, I‘m sure you’re wrong about one thing though, “I am 200% certain there are no Nazis in Ukraine.” I replied again, “I’m sorry Alina, but you are wrong about that. How can you live in Ukraine and not know?”"

he's also apparently recording a new version of dark side of the moon, “The new concept is meant to reflect on the meaning of the work, to bring out the heart and soul of the album,” he says, “musically and spiritually. I’m the only one singing my songs on these new recordings, and there are no rock and roll guitar solos.”

Waters really loves to milk that one and The Wall

I haven’t listened but this is the one album where I can’t even fathom listening to a single track of it then move on to something else. I am in it for 45 minutes or I’m just listening to something else.

yeeshkul is shutting down on the 28th, so if you got any last minute downloads you want to grab now is the time, ratios be damned.

Boooooooooooring.

How about the pile of Floyd/Barrett outtakes and alternate versions that still remain unreleased despite their claims that the "vaults have been emptied" (which people foolishly believe).

[AndySlash]

yet another surprise, perhaps the biggest that there could be, is that footage of montreal '77 has publicly surfaced and it includes the famous spitting incident, which the people doing/uploading restorations have determined occurred during money, and not pigs (3do) as has long been accepted (seemingly based on the anger roger expressed during pigs on the wing immediately before and fueling the '...come back, all is forgiven!' rant during pigs, with the account of wray ellis corroborating it). pretty amazing stuff and a literal grail for fans of pink floyd history.

gilmour has a new record coming out in september

David Gilmour has announced his new album ‘Luck and Strange’, to be released on 6th September on Sony Music.

‘Luck and Strange’ was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour’s first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with alt-J and Marika Hackman. Of this new working relationship, David says, “We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, “Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?” and “Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?”. He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.”

The majority of the album’s lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson, Gilmour’s co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years. Samson says of the lyrical themes covered on ‘Luck and Strange’, “It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.” Gilmour elaborates, “We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things.” Polly has also found the experience of working with Charlie Andrew liberating, “He wants to know what the songs are about, he wants everyone who’s playing on them to have the ideas that are in the lyric informing their playing. I have particularly loved it for that reason.”

The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ ‘Between Two Points’ and has artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.

Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 at a jam in a barn at David’s house.

Some contributions emerged from the live streams that Gilmour and family performed to a global audience during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021; Romany Gilmour sings, plays the harp and appears on lead vocals on ‘Between Two Points’. Gabriel Gilmour also sings backing vocals.

The album’s cover image, photographed and designed by Anton Corbijn, is inspired by a lyric written by Charlie Gilmour for the album’s final song ‘Scattered’. Of working with his family on ‘Luck and Strange’, David says, “Polly and I have been writing together for over thirty years and the Von Trapped live streams showed the great blend of Romany’s voice and harp-playing and that led us into a feeling of discarding some of the past that I’d felt bound to and that I could throw those rules out and do whatever I felt like doing, and that has been such a joy.”

New single has been getting played on WEHM, I dig it.

I was walking in to the warehouse and I was like "that... sounds like David Gilmour?!?" Walking back later in the song, around the 4 minute mark and it's like "yes, indeed it is" phrasing just resounds.

apparently pompeii has been 4k scanned and they'll be doing one of those 'one-night-only' event screenings at theaters in april. steven wilson also remixed the audio.
