Pretty interesting read here: Pioneering research by Paul Belbin proved the Rosetta stone in decoding Syd Barrett’s song writing inspirations for one of his most beloved songs, ‘Octopus’. Belbin’s original 1996 (revised 1998) essay, ‘Untangling the Octopus’ provoked a sea change in understanding Barrett’s work. Palacios has expanded on Belbin’s essay to further delve into the myriad origins of ‘Octopus’. Too often dismissed as a fantasist who collated drug driven word salad imagery, Barrett in time will assume his rightful place in the canon of English poetics, to which he made vital contributions. In the most literal interpretation, ‘Octopus’ recalls memories of fairground rides, collated with a sea-faring poem. Barrett’s song resounds with a long string of references to rhymes, poems, and songs culled from English lore. The works of English classics scholar, poet, translator and novelist Robert Graves, a favourite of Syd’s, also figure prominently in ‘Octopus’. http://socialartsnetwork.ning.com/profiles/blogs/untangling-the-octopus

Bob Dylan Blues, Here I Go, Effervescing Elephant are genuinely pleasant, enjoyable tunes.

The Song Remains the Same, of course! (2007 reissue) Some other favorites: Primus-Suck on This Jimi Hendrix-Live at Woodstock, Band of Gypsys HTWWW

Live Primus is a great thing. Saw them in 2006 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, saw Les Claypool with C2B3 and once with his Fancy Band, always had a blast. Do you remember what year you saw them or what album you owned? You should check out my Primus thread, I've posted lots of goodies in there! http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/21019-primus/

Hell yea man, just started school last week and already get a day off! Hey there's Zappa Picks!!! Thanks man, been wanting to give that one a listen. Just listened to Muffin Man for the first time the other day, good stuff.

Lol I can definitely relate to that.

Sup Wally! Ler is the reason I got into Zappa, he's probably my 2nd favorite guitar player to Jimmy. I found the CaCa (lol) vid while looking for this, I used to own this cd, couldn't find it on YouTube though: Yea I posted Possessed:Seven Churches in your metal thread, used to listen to that one all the time, I've heard Blind Illusion a few times, should probably give them a few more spins.

^This. To much treble, to thin. Appreciate the effort, but I'll stick with The Jimi Page Experience.

Will do! Thanks man!

Ok lets try this John. Forget the stuff they plagiarised for now, and just listen to the original stuff. Still a pretty great body of work, no? I think so.

Hey man I would like to have a listen but there is nothing there when I click the link.

1970-09-19 (Evening Show) Born To Please (Eddie Edwards Remaster)

The more I listen to 'Born to Please', the more I think it is the definitive version. Everything is very well balanced and as clean as I've heard.
