R.I.P. Syd Barrett

Yeah it's a bummer that he passed on. I found out about this on Tuesday. It's so weird that he died last friday, and it took 4 days to get the report out. Crazy stuff. Anyway, I don't know Syd's solo music at all except for one song called "Opel." I've only heard it a few times on Napsterlinks, but I like the way the song is structured. I think I'll go and check out his solol albums today. His music and spirit lives on, but he'll rest peacefully.

Hopefully this might help you get some idea of what to expect...

In yellow shoes I get the blues,
So I walk the street with my plastic feet
with blue velvet trousers make me feel pink
Theres a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt, I look a jerk,
and my turquoise waistcoat is quite outta sight.
But oh, oh, my haircut looks so bad....

The main reason i liked pink floyd in the first place. I still rate piper at the gates of dawn above darkside of the moon.

I was shocked when I heard the news. I feel so sorry about him

Barrett era Floyd and post-Barrett Floyd are two completely Floyds, they really can't be compared.

He was a rather inventive Guitarist, his vocals were unique and his lyrics provided some strange imagery.

Though it must be said, Bike had some of the most random lyrics ever.

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
