What is Happening to Music

by Vince on December 3, 2008

I was looking over the music that came out in 2008 and my heart is breaking, here’s a lyrical example:

Pink | so what 2008

So what
I’m still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don’t need you

Pink Floyd | wish you were here 1973

Did you exchange
A walk on part in a war
For a lead role in a cage

So in my lifetime we have gone from incredible and deep, to the worst lyrics ever penned.

Help me understand

Richard Wright

by Vince on September 16, 2008

I have been a Pink Floyd fan since I was old enough to be a fan of music. I blame my brother Mike for that.

Yesterday Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright died at age 65 from cancer.

I know most people that read the nikao blog aren’t Floyd fans, that’s cool. But maybe spin a little Pink Floyd today in honor of Wright.

On a side note, three things wouldn’t exist without Pink Floyd; surround sound, laser light shows and Radiohead.

A Little Floyd For Your Sunday

by Vince on April 6, 2008

If you haven’t caught on by now, Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all time. Partly because they are just awesome and also because I was raised on it. David Gilmour is the walk on that became the defining member in quick time. Here he is doing a classic. You’ll have to tolerate a little Bob Geldof. Watch for the double guitar change.

Music | Weekly Hitlist

by Vince on November 10, 2007

Pink FloydBusy week around here this week. I got a lot done. So this week I have a list of music that is great for creative work on the ‘ol computer. These are the albums I lean on when I need to put my head down and create.

  • Pink Floyd | dark side of the moon. The number one creative album of all time. A must have in every collection. You may argue that the wall is a better album, but I find that I sing along too much and get un-productive…Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a good choice.
  • Hughes and Wagner | lady of Cicero. I believe this album is out of print. The link there is for Tad Wagner…don’t know where Hughes is
  • Death Cab For Cutie | plans. Everybody loves this album. So if you have a group working…spin this.

What are you spinning this week?
