  1. SYD BARRETT
    The Peel Sessions
    2025 Europe Unofficial reissue

    My birthday is on Wednesday, and a friend of mine just swung by the house to give me this as an early birthday present.

    He told me “It’s always 50/50 if I’m ever getting you a record for a present. I never know if you have it or not. I know you like this boot series though, so I took a gamble.”

    I DID NOT have it, and yes, I do REALLY like these Radio Broadcast releases. For “unofficial” recordings, all of them that I’VE bought (and I have a bunch of em) have been really good sound-quality wise.

    And this one’s no different.

    Five really great Syd solo tunes, my favorite of which has always been Baby Lemonade, which, has guitar by David Gilmour, as the studio album version does.

    I wonderful early birthday present.
    Thank you kindly, Richie.

  9. G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 4/01/26

  10. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part composition by the English rock band #PinkFloyd for their 1975 album #WishYouWereHere. It was written by #DavidGilmour, #RogerWaters, and #RichardWright, and first performed on Pink Floyd's #1974FrenchTour. The song is written about the Pink Floyd founder member #SydBarrett, who left in 1968 following mental health problems.

  11. Imagine a timeline where the 1968 fracture of #PinkFloyd never happened. Instead of pushing him out, the band stabilized around #SydBarrett, with the group acting as a strategic shield for his erratic genius. By rejecting the pivot to stadium-friendly rock, they remained a sharp, analytical art-lab anchored in the London underground. In this thread, I’m reconstructing their definitive discography from 1968–1972 as if they had stayed collective and dangerous. 1/7 tidal.com/playlist/7f28b901-99

  12. Syd Barrett’s influence on alternative rock music is profound and far-reaching. His innovative songwriting, experimental soundscapes, and unique persona have left an indelible mark on the genre.

  17. Not sure this belongs with my prog stuff really, but will keep it there. A great compilation/tribute to Syd from The Shamen, TVPs and Soup Dragons among others. They all do a great job. #vinyl #SydBarrett #xp

  18. PINK FLOYD
    The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
    1972 Canada reissue
    [fourth issue]

    Having a #psychedelic Saturday night.

    Nothing left in the world to say about this great album.

    Still the best to ever don the Pink Floyd name, regardless of personnel. That is a FACT and cannot be disputed.

  19. Almost There

    It’s 2:15pm. Lunch is about to end (I started my break a little later than normal today). I have a vacation day booked for tomorrow, then the following two days are off for Thanksgiving, then the weekend. That’s right, folks. I have a five day weekend coming and it is just a bit more than three hours away. I have one more meeting on my schedule this afternoon and I have a few email threads that need updating. Other than that, we’re just riding out this fine Tuesday in the office.

    So before Covid shut everything down I was a regular user of Audible, the audiobook subscription service. I forget how but at some point I came into a whole bunch of credits and blew them all on a number of books that I never got around to listening to. Back in March when my company upped our in-the-office requirement from once a week to twice a week I reopened my account and all of those unread books were still there. One was a biography of Syd Barrett. I’m listening to it now and while many of the events and facts the author describes are clearly incorrect, and many others are trying to show Barrett as some poetic legend on a level that is infinitely greater than his catalog demonstrates, it is a good read. I have been listening to a lot of his music over the last week.

    The National Solo Album Month (nasoalmo) rules allow for one cover song. While adding another song does not fit my personal theme for this month’s project, I am wondering if I should record a cover of Dominoes. I’m thinking about it.
