While he gained fame as the picker of pecks of pickled peppers, the later years of his life were marred by syphilis and alcoholism.

It disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous

Agreed. If by "Sgt Pepper" you mean "Psalm 69".boudicca wrote:Massive cliche, but the day I heard that Sgt Pepper for the first time was a milestone in my life, FACT!
I recall some Weegie saying it'd change my life. It certainly makes the drive to school more fun.

SFOS starts with the cracking bassline that the Chemical Brothers nicked for 'Block Rocking Beats' but rapidly goes downhill.James Blast wrote:I own everything of theirs but that and SFOS
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun has been resurrected, polished off and made an absolute delight by Mr. W.
maybe I should revisit Corporal Clegg... nah!

Black Russians actually. Anyways, to clarify:James Blast wrote:Franco has been at the sherry, again
While the Beatles were recording Sgt. Pepper, Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd were recording their first album Piper at the Gates of Dawn in the studio next door. Since Sgt. Pepper seems a fairly significant change in musical direction for Paul and the boys, I've been wondering how much of this may have been due to bumping into Syd Barrett in the toilets...
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.
Aw now, there's at least 4 of their most cosmic faaar-out-maaaan numbers on Saucerful (I'm thinking More Light, Remember, Set the Controls and Saucerful itself), and Jugband Blues is the most poignant farewell to (...and from...) Syd that could be possible. Cut it some slack, folks!
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Trivia - the late great John Peel used the phase 'set the controls...' to outro Loop's session of 'Sunburst'. It was great then and it's still great nowJames Blast wrote:Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun has been resurrected, polished off and made an absolute delight by Mr. W.

One of the best Loop songs just got even better!

I had a few Loop records 'back in the day' Remember seeing them in Exeter around 89/90/91 - damn fine band.

I saw them tune up for half an hour, complain they weren't happy with the sound and walk off...
