Seig Howdy! Music By Day Consumers. Since Pink Floyd seem to be ALMOST as popular as The Beatles around these here parts, it’s probably a good idea to address a couple of issues I see as being unimportant to anyone but the newly obsessive Pink Floyd fan who needs just that little bit more than [...]

This week Jimmy Fallon’s late night show is having a Pink Floyd week to celebrate today’s release of the Pink Floyd Discovery Box Set and the Dark Side of the Moon Immersion Box Set. Last night The Shins kicked off the week with a cover of “Breathe.” The schedule for the rest of the week: [...]

I was reading some reviews on this one on Amazon and found that this album was either loved or hated. Probably the least accessable Pink Floyd album, it’s difficult to say whether it’s any good or not, so it comes down to whether or not you like the noises on it. This is the first [...]

Try to imagine waiting for the next Pink Floyd album. There was no Dark Side… or The Wall. It was just Piper, Saucerful,More and Ummagumma. Would you have even been their fan if that’s all there was? Pink Floyd were still in search of their big direction. Their way of making a mark in musical [...]

Is it a Roger Waters solo album or a Pink Floyd album? Let’s, for a while, try to divorce the album itself from the bad feelings around it’s creation. It’s hard, for me at least, to discuss the final cut without also mentioning The Wall and The Pros And Cons Of Hitch-hiking. A lot of [...]

OK. The Sex Pistols and The Clash and all railing against the “system” is fine but those “statements” feel like grade school mumblings compared to the vitriol and hate for the system on this contemporary album! Pink Floyd – Animals (1977) This album is better known than the other ones I’ve mentioned before but STILL, [...]

Take 1 part Dark Side Of The Moon, stir in 2 parts Meddle, and you pretty much have Obscured By Clouds. Well, my work is done! Pink Floyd had been touring and playing Dark Side of The Moon in it’s entirety as early as spring of ’72. More than a year before its eventual release. [...]

Another bloody review for an OLD album! Did you catch the recent Marvin Marks review for The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn? I think it’s a pretty solid fact that Pink Floyd were at their most adventurous and experimental, on record, between 1967 – 1970. There are also some awesome recordings of Pink Floyd [...]

Pink Floyd’s The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is one of my favorite albums ever. It’s the very first album by Pink Floyd (or “The Pink Floyd” as they were known in 1967) and for those that only know the band for their much more famous 1970s work (like The Dark Side of the [...]

The Discovery Box Set (Pink Floyd’s entire studio album catalog remastered) and The Dark Side of the [...]
