  1. @andrewplord Not from a tropical climate but I love pineapple, would welcome it on pizza or in fruitcake or anything :-)

    Btw in the US, cheddar cheese on warm apple pie is a tradition in some states, I think in New England mostly. I wonder if that came with the early settlers from across the pond? #joinin #foodtraditions

    Supposedly a true story.

    Victorian actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree was in a performance of Hamlet.

    After the show, he was in his dressing room and W. S. Gilbert (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame) burst in with an enthusiastic cry, "My dear sir! Good was not the word!"

    The Collected Works of Scotland's Other National Poet.

    And yes, he is completely talentless, doesn't understand scansion or rhyme, wouldn't know a metaphor or a simile if it bit him, but he is absolutely awesome in his sincerity. He believes he is a great poet.

    The Wall - 11th Album

    There are people who think this is an overwhelming masterpiece. There are people who think it's a pompous, incoherent vanity project.

    I can see both points of view.

    Floyd were falling apart at the time and this is the last album with any claim to be "a Pink Floyd Album".

    Waters was in control. It was his story, his writing, his vocals. The others were almost backing musicians.

    It's not their best work and it's not a lot of fun, but you have to hear it.

  19. #pink_floyd Wish You Were Here - 9th Album

    It goes without saying that this is yet another cracking album and critics proof.

    Which raises the question, where did this leap in quality come from. They made seven albums and not one of them has at least one track that you'd skip.

    And then suddenly, Dark Side of the Moon and then this. Were they bitten by radioactive spiders?

    The leap they made is extraordinary.

    The Dark Side of the Moon - 8th album

    This is obviously beyond criticism. It is, essentially, a perfect album.

    The sequenced synthesisers, the saxophone, the direct lyrics are all new, but everything else on the album has been heard before on earlier works. But here it's honed until it's razor sharp.

    Take "The Great Gig in the Sky". They used a wordless choir on Atom Heart Mother. Here that have one voice and its so powerful.

    This is the one where they got it all right.
