  1. I have it on vinyl so no, I've never seen that picture. Although I think I know which one you're talking about. And WYWH is indeed a great album, David has said it's their best in his opinion. It certainly was the last album they did as foursome where you felt everyone was contributing in some way.
  2. Sweet sassy molassy is what my grandmother would say in polite company when something like "motherfucking piece of shit" was not appropriate. And while I use cuss words every now and again, I do remember that anybody can read the blog regardless of age, so I try to watch myself. As for putting a link in my signature, I'm wary about that. I don't mind comments from non-Yankees fans, a couple of my regulars over the last 3 years have been fans of other teams, it's just that there's non-Yankees fans and Yankee Haters™, the latter of which are not tolerated. I don't know which of the two groups resides here. I am glad you checked my site out, I always appreciate new visitors. You can leave comments if you want underneath entries, you don't need an account there to do so. Just a name and an e-mail.
  3. Thanks. I'm so, so proud of the work I do and when it's featured like that, it just makes me feel like I'm doing something right.
  4. My blog was featured on the front page of the MLBlogs site! I circled my link - when you click on "Yankees", it goes to my site. So that helped lessen the sting a tad. But just a tad.
  5. Mine is real easy: 1. Us and Them 2. High Hopes 3. SOYCD 4. Comfortably Numb 5. Burning Bridges
  6. I freakin' love your avatar. LOL

  7. For me, it's Burning Bridges. A combo of Rick/David singing together and the guitar in the middle.....divine.
  8. If I had to rank my Top 5 Floyd albums, it would go as follows: Dark Side of the Moon Wish You Were Here Obscured By Clouds Animals The Division Bell My #1 and #2 interchange almost daily, but that's what it is today. Obscured By Clouds is criminally overlooked.
  9. You mean High Hopes? Because that's the song the title is in. Specifically "the ringing of the division bell had begun". You're right though, it's an absolutely gorgeous song. Almost anthemic.
  10. You must. I have it on mp3, CD and vinyl. Of the two post-Watersalbums they did, it's held up the best over the years. AMLoR is agreat album, don't get me wrong.....it just sounds like it was made inthe late 80s and some of the songs just don't sound very good now. TDBon the other hand.....it's as close to the "classic" Floyd sound thethree of them were going to get without Roger. It's worth it forCluster One, Keep Talking and High Hopes alone.
  11. I think between me and pagemccartney, we can hook you up with the right albums to start with. You should probably begin with the quadrangle of Meddle-DSotM-WYWH-Animals and then after that, Obscured By Clouds and The Division Bell. Everything else should be to taste.
  12. Happy Birthday, Virginia! Hope you have a great day.
  13. The fact that it's 70 degrees outside.
  14. How can you have missed me, I post here at least once a day.
  15. Decent weather! It's 65 degrees outside right now, with not a cloud in the sky. I can finally open my windows and let some air into the upstairs.
  16. I've gotten quite a few vinyl records over the last week or so: Delicate Sound of Thunder The Division Bell A Momentary Lapse of Reason A Nice Pair Relics All by Pink Floyd.
  17. Being able to say I've done all my chores/errands for the day and just relax until the baseball game tonight.
  18. It's the smirk. It kills me dead every time. It's like "yeah, I know I'm good." That sort of confidence-bordering-on-arrogance can be very attractive.
  19. Unfortunately, my fandom came around after they stopped making music together....mostly because I was born in 1982, but I got into them on my own. Heard Comfortably Numb on the radio once, begged my dad for the album it came on....he bought me the cassette. Ironically enough, as much as I dislike 95% of The Wall, it's the only Floyd album I own on 4 mediums: vinyl, cassette, CD and mp3.
