Last week Congress passed the war supplemental appropriations bill. In an affront to all those who thought they voted for a peace candidate, the current president will be sending another $106 billion we don't have to continue the bloodshed in Afghanistan and Iraq, without a hint of a plan to bring our troops home.

...according to reports this morning from Rolling Stone, Pink Floyd are suing the monolithic EMI record label over "miscalculated royalty payments". Apparently, we're talking somewhere in the millions of dollars owed. Pink Floyd are not the first big act to run into trouble with EMI over the years: both Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones fled after realizing that they'd be better served by a...

UFO was London's first psychedelic club, the equivalent of the Electric Circus in NYC or the Fillmore in SF. It was started by music entrepreneur Joe Boyd and John Hopkins (aka "Hoppy") in an Irish dancehall called the "Blarney Club", a basement venue under the Berkeley Cinema. This wasn't the first time the location had been an essential nightclub; from 1919-1926 it was a jazz club where race...

It's impressive how 'psychedelic' Pink Floyd were in ’67 and ‘68. A fish-eye lens, a couple of trinkets and the glass house at Kew Gardens could make you seem on the bleeding edge of NOW.The English have always had a penchant for a bit of foppery but Floyd raided the dressing-up box with serious intent. Has any band looked more stylishly in tune with the times?From Jon Savage’s ‘Punk Psych On 4...

Hey, I just took delivery of "The Black Strat" written by Phil Taylor, and it's absolutely incredible. This lavishly illustrated book chronicles the history of David Gilmour's signature guitar in the many versions and forms it's taken over the years.

Hello Everyoneespecially ivylander since you actually added me as one of your favs; you won't regret it. I've recently downloaded the live at Pompeii album and I'm absolutely certain this is Pink Floyds prime.

David Kilpatrick covers Arnold Layne . Free scary look included.Syd Barrett's Cambridge suburban folktale from the 1967 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' album (which I bought, in 1967, and still have) rendered unlistenable with the aid of my office iMac and jazz-nylon Lowden. This is the party piece I sometimes play at our folk club to silence kids who ask for some Pink Floyd, expecting the obviou...
