Show #44, Release date: 19. November, 2005

Aye an a bit o' mackerel, fiddler, rack and fear, And I rutted down by the hade and the furrow. Well, I slipped me in a flop and hit down and I shied, and I cried, cried, cried. The fear of fallin' down aft' taken, never back to rise and then cried Mary and I tucked up Wi' a Claymore out and about, and I run down, down the mechyn sty and back on fiery hore that was fallin' around the feet. "Never!" I cried! "Never shall ye get me alive ya rotten hound of the Burnie Brae." Well, I snapped for a blade and a Claymore cut and thrust and I fell down before him 'round his feet. "Aye!" a roar he cried. Frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall but dead, dead as a can by a feat deah... and the wind cried Mary, Thank you.*

Sorry for the "slight" delay on this. I ran into some issues during the mastering process. No theme for this one. I'm been so ridiculously busy with my studies I've had little time to squeeze a good one out... hahaha!! Wait a second, that didn't sound right. I mean, I didn't spend as much time on this, as I would have liked, but for a last minute effort, this podcast came out well. Hope you like.

Show #29, Air date: 11. March, 2005

Electric Factory, Philadelphia, Pa, 26. September, 70 - If you close your eyes, you will feel as though you are there in the room. The Electric Factory, in Philadelphia (as you can see on the photo) is not very big. You can hear peoples' coughs echo off the walls during the quiet moments, it's that small of a "room".

The performance is excellent and there's a good amount of experimentation going on... more than usual for a 1970 Floyd show (based on what I've heard so far). Every song is played beautifully from start to finish. Interstellar Overdrive was especially "interesting". A very spaced out show indeed.

Whoever taped this show, where ever you are... I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Show #39, release date: 9. September, 2005

Okay, you waited long enough, here it is, the first full podcast. For now this will be a bi-weekly show.

This one runs 121 minutes. Now I have to say, this is very odd getting used to because it's so different than doing a live show on the air. I need to sharpen the axe a little.

Deep down I want to thank you for your infinite patience and willingness to wait almost four months for this to kick off.
I hope it wont disappoint you.

This show features only unique soundboard recordings, most of which are unreleased.
- A recording from Australia. Tennis anyone?
- Spooky sounds from Montreux your Mother warned you about
- Live8 comments from David Gilmour
- An Italian two-fer
- Three farm pigs running free in Berlin
- and lots more

Check out this freaky coincidence... the link provided has a recording of radioactive emissions coming from Saturn captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.  So basically you can hear what Saturn sounds like... and it sounds like a clip from an early Floyd performance!

Sounds of Saturn

"Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda
And Titania, Neptune, Titan.
Stars can frighten."

This is one of the many hand painted banners that hung from the rafters of Earls Court during Pink Floyd's Division Bell shows back in 1994. The purpose of the banners was to improve the sound and dampen the echoing effect of the acoustics of Earls Court.

They measure 20'x18' and you can see this banner and others in P.U.L.S.E. and Storm Thorgerson's hardcover book, Mind Over Matter - Images of Pink Floyd on page 194.
