My return to the blogging format on this platform has finally allowed me the chance to begin a project which is a little more intimate and closer to my heart, namely, to take a closer look at Pink Floyd's music within the format of a series.
I have just subbed mate, the work you do is powerful and important. I share your videos all the time. I have to say, that's a fucking brilliant breakdown of that Pink Floyd song. You should do more music reviews .
I lost interest in Floyd after Animals although I went to see The Wall at the Cinema. So, this is interesting to me as I share some things in common with both yourself and RW. Son of a WW2 veteran but a relative underachieving art school grad like Woes and Woodlander. I think your analysis is better than many PhDs would muster and it's probably because you are an autodidact.
I was old enough to see Floyd at Knebworth and it was great but they always had a self importance which irritated me.
I'm more a fan of ' English whimsy' ie early Genesis, Van de Graf etc.
Cheers M. Newly subbed 👍. Glad you’ve created this, I do like your audio content, but do miss my regular visits to your original blog, looking forward to many articles to come. Time to catch up me thinks, cheers fella!
Great cheers for signing up. I always felt more at home blogging and I find writing more clarifying and smooth than worrying that I'm about to cough etc
Newly subbed too. A brilliant poignant dissection. Only discovered your work very recently and have enjoyed re-watching a lot of Adam Curtis because of you. Have enjoyed the music of Pink Floyd as well as Nick Drake and John Martyn for many years now, definitely consider more song /album reviews. I genuinely look forward to reading your articles. Thanks.
Newly subbed floyd admirer. Had a ticket for Earl’s Court division bell 1994 concert, but unfortunately the lads spent their hard earned on weed and hence the mobilisation effort failed. Love the insights 👍🏻
And here I thought I couldn't possibly appreciate your videos and musings any more than I already do. But then you go ahead and launch a series like this.
Thanks for an interesting read as always. I've tried many times to get into Pink Floyd under the guidance of friends whose musical tastes I'm normally fully on board with. But no matter how hard I try they just don't connect with me. That said the article was fascinating, and I definitely relate the concept of time wasting bullshit jobs.
Thanks Morgoth, had this on cassette at college and would listen on my walkman during those long Grehyhound bus rides from Pittsburgh back to Philly. Always seemed like it was cold, dark and foggy/rainy on those trips and this tape was the perfect accompaniment.

Cheers mate I think I'm overdue the next installment of that series on Pink Floyd.
That would be shit hot, mate . Keep up the good the work.

That's great thanks, I certainly intend doing more on my neglected Floyd series.

Yes I've had crummy jobs all my life but my grandfather was a big influence on me in cultural terms.
