We don't take turns. One-on-one sex? How vanilla. Either all four of us are there, or none of us.

I'll make an exception if there are only three of us.

I forget -- does RP's fetus count?

What?!??! This is not a Sebby original?!?!?!? This is reminiscent of the time that I learned my dad did not invent the term "No Necks", but rather got it from Tennessee Williams who invented "No Neck Proles". Given that my dad has invented his own vocabulary, his being derivative both shattered me and boggled my mind, as did the fact that he is a reader of Tennessee Williams. (Good thing SPanky isnt here, he doesnt want to hear about my dad)

I am a HUGE Pink Floyd fan. What tune is that from?

"Paranoid Eyes" from the Final Cut. I always thought you knew that I'd bastardized that quote. NCS and I discussed it at length here.

God, what a killer record. Critics who bashed TFC are such morons.

"Ya can hide, hide, hide... behind paranoid eyes."

Website says that The Things We Do For Love was popular in 1977. So if a person was 10 when they heard it that would make them 38? So legitimately, if a person was 33 and never heard it, that would be in the realm of possibility, no?

What was the question?

The Things We Do For Love was literally the only song on AM radio for the entire last three years of the seventies. So I think to have not heard it, a person would have to be too young to have listened to the radio at all in the 70s. I am not 38 and I have heard it at least 10,000 times. Most of them when I was between the ages of 7 and 10. It is one of those things. It sticks with you.

The whole "Roger Waters is whispering really heavy stuff in your ear except when he's shrieking" thing makes that album unlistenable now. Not that I didn't play the cassette tape of it to shreds in my high-school Sony walkman. Back when I was Deep.

Most of my experience with these seventies tunes came from not their top forty days, but their incessant rotation on 97, W____ the lite FM station that my mom always had on in the car in the Seventies and Eighties. The most modern she got was when she bought Tattoo You and my dad asked her what the hell was wrong with ehr for buying rock and roll music. I stole that tape from her and she went back to the lite FM and fifties crap.

Oh.

Huh.

So, who was that in Prague, then?

I think I may have you confused with someone else.

It was me. We took the train to Vienna and did it in that winery in the Wachau.

True, it leaves you wishing Gilmour had grabbed the mic and muzled Roger. But the sound painting on the record is amazing. Its one of only a few discs done in some new "holographic sound" technology which was experimental at the time. When Gilmour's guitar kicks in, it really grabs you by the balls. Sounds great remastered and terrifically high.

I am surprised you'd like Waters. Have you ever read the lyrics to "The Bravery of Being Out of Range"?

If an artist's politics controlled my music acquisitions, I may as well toss 1500 CDs out the window.

I have every Waters album. Except for that live Wall travesty. Ugh.

I listen to it all the time on the iPod. Unfortunately my CD was fucked and I don't get the Two Suns In The Sunset resolution (if you want to call it that). It stops at Not Now John. I need to buy a new CD.

I stumbled into a collection of original Beatles, Stones, CSNY records as a kid. Oh, and there was also a Gerry Rafferty record in there - City to City, containing Baker St.

My dad went through a phase where he listened to Floyd, but as they got older, it all passed into a godawful obsessions with broadway shows, Celtic music and opera stuff. Then last year, they suddenly got into blues and Motown. I think I know where I get my add and lack of consistency.

Funny how Pros & Cons contains better Clapton guitar work than Clapton's last ten solo records. Radio KAOS is pretty good also.

I suggest trying out Gilmour's solo records. He's self titled one is allrighht, and About Face has loads of A List guests. Good shit.

Ha! A rake! Muttering!! Priceless. And so original.

It's after 6:00 in NYC and I realize you are probably already half in the bag, so I'll spell it out for you. Because you are the archetype of triteness, my mental images of you necessarily involve cliches. These days, the particular cliche that strikes me as most true is the stereotypical cranky, drunk, and crazy old man, shirtless and muttering. If it seems unoriginal to you, it is because all that you are has been done millions of times before in millions of more interesting ways.

Not Now John does rock. Hmmm. I may have to listen to this album again. I think its been about 15 years since I've heard it, so I might be ready for the pretentious whisperings again.

Yeah right whatever. But what do you think of the later Floyd albums?
