Rolling Stone has a great piece on the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, complete with continued animosity between David Gilmour and Roger Waters, an interview with Alan Parsons and a rambling 1971 discussion with madcap Syd Barrett, including a quote from one of his songs, “Wolfpack”, that seems somehow oddly strangely appropriate while dogwoods bloom in Knoxville and bombs burst in Baghdad.
Mild the reflecting electricity eyes
The Life that was ours grew sharper
And stronger away and beyond
Short wheeling fresh spring
Gripped with blanched bones
Moaned Magnesium proverbs and sobs.

anybody got any commentary on “dub side of the moon”? i’ve only given it a listen once through but they’ve done some pretty cool stuff with a classic.
Haven’t heard it, though I’ve heard it’s cool.
