Roger Waters "Comfortably Numb" Tweet this video ___ Share on Facebook ___ Bookmark on delicious Je me souviens très bien avoir été sur le cul en découvrant cette version de "Comfortably Numb" sur le DVD de la tournée Pulse de Roger Waters. Le jeune guitariste s'appelle Doyle Bramhall et rend bien justice à ce chef-d'oeuvre de David Gilmour. Le bonhomme joue dans le groupe d'Eric Clapton, ce qui s'appelle une référence. Mais bon, personne ne pourra surpasser l'émotion qu'arrive à transmettre David [...]
Tortoise is one of those bands that has always floated just outside the realm of my musical fishbowl. I have seen their CDs in record stores for years now, I have read reviews of their music, seen their releases advertised, and yet I never dug in.
Because of the awesomeness, oddness, classic-ness, concept-albumness, and drugginess of their music, Pink Floyd are a reliable comparison maker.
This post is late in coming, so I'll just let the tunes speak for themselves. "Too Old To Rock & Roll" - Jethro Tull Ian Anderson laments about his age - and then tells 'em all to sod off! "Wanted Dead Or Alive" - Bon Jovi A classic song about life on the rock & roll gravy train. "Life In The Fast Lane" - The Eagles An alternate view [...]

Desde hace un par de semanas quería hacer una lista de músicos que juegan golf. Sin asombro, descubrí que Golf Digest me había ganado la idea; encontré una lista de los 100 mejores músicos golfistas, con handicap y todo. De dicha lista, escojo a mis favoritos y lo comparto con ustedes. No sigue ningún orden de carácter musical, sino de juego. Los handicaps indicados son de la lista de Golf Digest , a menos que se apunte lo contrario. El listado es de hace tres años, más o menos, así que esperemos todos hayan mejorado. Dicha lista, [...]

In the midst of praising a sort of mediocre, but I guess well-framed paparazzi photo of Rihanna , Kanye West took some time out to offer up his thoughts on today's biggest stars, and which current celebrities were serving as analogies of stars gone by, I guess because we live in the post-everything age. If you ever wondered which current somewhat-superstar Kanye West views as the new Jimi Hendrix and/or Roger Waters, the answers lie after the jump. JUSTIN IS THE NEW MIKE (Jackson, I guess? Has anyone ever heard him called "Mike"? Are we just [...]
We flopped happily far up front at mainstage as lengthening shadows set the mood for My Bloody Valentine. Management was handing out earplugs at the gate and small wonder, since toward the end of "You Made Me Realise," guitarists Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher (the latter impassive as a Xanax-bombed soccer mom) loosed a gorgeous fifteen-minute-plus feedback annihilation that was easily the loudest thing I've ever heard in decades of doting on amplified music. It was less a solo than a hideous (and hideously effective) evocation of nightmare; a compressed and aestheticized variation on the opening bombardment at the Somme, [...]
Okay, I didn't pick this months selections. But as folks have told me when I mentioned this month's topic to them, this is "definitely a theme chosen by a guy." Yup, there's testosterone all over this theme, and I've tried to find truly angry stuff in my collection. And there isn't much, at first glance. But I knuckled down and found these for your perusal. And yes, there's one angry chick in the mix (a word of warning: said track is extremely explicit - you've been warned). [...]

One evening, in early 1968, an up-and-coming group known as Pink Floyd was on its way to a gig. They had but one person to pick up, and they decided not to. Syd Barrett, lead singer/lead guitarist/lead musician, was left behind. The band played that night as a four-piece: guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason, pianist Richard Wright, and a lanky, tone-deaf, bassist. How did this bassist elevate to icon status? What kind of stories could the fifth most talented musician of a band have to offer? Who could ever replace Syd Barrett? [...]

Last week we featured our opinion of the worst nude album covers. This week here are some of the best... This post contains nudity and some are NSFW. "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" - Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass - Hands down the best cover of all time. Joey Heatherton - She used to do commercials for "Perfect Sleeper." I'm guessing she never got a whole lot [...]
One of the most unlikely acts to ever top the pop chart, venerable space-rock outfit Pink Floyd had never been a singles band, rarely releasing them or even having songs of a suitable length to garner pop airplay. In fact, prior to Another Brick In The Wall (part II) , their only other chart appearance had been in 1973 when they narrowly missed the Top Ten with Money . Instead, Pink Floyd was better known for ambitious albums such as Dark Side Of The Moon , Wish You Were Here , and [...]

Hi. This is the first post from me, the up-to-this-point-merely-nomina l second blogger here. Call me Lin. You can see two bylines at the bottom of each post: one will tell you who wrote it. I am going to admit that I'm at a bit of a loss about where I want to go with my writing here. I did a Christmas post that was delayed and then forgotten about due to airline incompetence. It's still out there, and might eventually go up, but I make no promises. I was hoping it would be like a Doctor Who Christmas [...]

Pardon the tardiness in my posting this set of selections. A small foray into France got in the way, as did this little election we had here in the U.S. and A. So I'll dispense of the pleasantries and get on with the songs. This was originally going to be two posts - one of story songs that are the pure fantasy of the songwriter, others telling true stories - but given the lateness of the month, I've decided to combine the two. So this playlist runs long - c'est la vie , y'know? [...]

It's with great sadness today that I report that Pink Floyd keyboardist and co-founder Richard Wright died today of cancer at his home in Britain at the age of 65. [NYTimes.com] If there was no Pink Floyd, there'd be no metal. I firmly belief that. And for me personally, if Pink Floyd hadn't sustained me musically [...]
MUSIC NEWS - The reunion rumors had heated up again, but David Gilmour says that he's not interested in another Pink Floyd reunion because he's having too much fun on his own! Speaking to the Associated Press recently, the group's guitarist said that the last reunion, at Live 8 , was "excellent, really enjoyable," but added: " The rehearsals were less enjoyable . The rehearsals convinced me it wasn't something I wanted to be doing a lot of. There have been all sorts of farewell moments in people's lives and careers [...]
