Well, I'm broke. He won the lawsuit and took everything I had. I'm using a computer made out of a broken heater, some toothpaste, and a couple toothpicks...So let's get back to reviewing albums, shall we?

A computer made out of a broken heater, some toothpaste, and a couple toothpicks? YOINK! My lawyers are nothing if not thorough .... bastards...

Tell you what: listen to one Floyd album before the end of the month and review it and I'll consider all damages fully paid. Can't say fairer than that, now can I?

Ah, a request? Haven't had one of those in a while; You got yourself a deal! The toothpicks are starting to sag...toothpaste really doesn't hold things together.

Song Spotlight - "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd

Well, as preparation for my inevitable Floyd review, here's one of the few Pink Floyd songs I've actually heard. Currently my favorite Floyd song, I have no idea how this fits into "The Wall," but I just adore it. It relaxes you, and then throws you some bad ass, yet still relaxing guitar solos. If you haven't already heard it, what's wrong with you? Oh, and listen to it. That too.

Yeah, Comfortably Numb is great. Notice that the first solo is played on top of the chords from the chorus, and the second one on top of the chords from the verse? Think about it for a second. I think it's pretty cool.

Fantastic song, but "The Wall" is chock-full of them. Check the scarily sparse "Mother", the manic "One of my turns", The oh-so-powerful "In the flesh" (both parts) and the incredible "The trial".

And the rest of it.
Amazing album.

Are you familiar with the movie version of "Mother"? I think I like that even more than the album version.

Oh yeah. The movie just blew my mind! Love the extra track, "When the tigers broke free." Geldof's finest hour imo...

I actually have a 7" of tigers I bought when the movie came out in 1982. It says on it "taken from the album the final cut" and of course It did not end up being on that albums original release which confused me. Probably more than you wanted to know but there you go. The wall is one of the greatest albums of all time for sure.
