Pekka, do you like PMMP?

Oh yes, I have none of their albums (yet), but I've seen a couple of their shows on festivals and they're always very entertaining. I think they're a very refreshing phenomenon in Finnish pop.

It's on PA!

Is it even any good? From what I heard, it wasn't.

I find it amusing that a woman has an annual plan to tackle the pope.

Also, you will not like this image.

And with that I am finally going to bed.

I think Mason gets unfairly maligned, but I wouldn't go that far. Gilmour's last solo albums was incredibly dull, from what I heard, and I never bothered with his others. Or with Roger's. I might have gotten Mason's if it weren't out of print and expensive.

Broken China and Wet Dream are both good. I need to hear more Gilmour solo and Mason's solo album.

I liked Pink Floyd a long time before other prog, and somehow Mason is my favorite member.

Actually, Broken China is better than I remembered, at least the first few songs. Except for this tacky guitar solo that just started in Night of a Thousand Furry Toys.

Sounds like a metal band. I've not heard of them.

one year for Christmas, my father in law got my wife the best present she'd ever wanted

the most extravagant, most incredible gift a girl could ever hope for

a motherf**king pony

that's right, a tiny little adorable horse that she could have for her very own

they already had a barn and a big pasture area where it could roam and chew grass and be a f**king pony and do f**king pony things like ponies do

now they weren't particularly rich, but they had some funds and her father, being the rather shrewd businessman that he is, managed to get this particular pony for absolutely nothing. Scot free.

How, you ask?

Simple. This pony had terminal cancer.

So, imagine this situation. Christmas morning. Bringing your lovely daughter out to the barn, shivering against the blowing wind and rain. Once inside, you shut the door. She's covering her eyes with her little mitten hands, huge grin on her face in anticipation. This is it. This is the moment every tiny girl dreams of.

"Okay, honey! Open your eyes!"

"OH MY GOD DAD ITS A PONY! MY VERY OWN PONY!"

"That's right honey! A pony! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Now, this is your pony, so you're going to have to take care of it. I expect you to feed it and water it every day, and take very good care of it!"

"I will, daddy, I will! I promise! Can I ride it right now? Can I?"

"No, honey. You cannot ride it. You can never ride it. This pony is sick. It has cancer. You are going to feed it and water it and watch as the one thing you've always wanted more than anything in the world slowly withers and dies painfully, right before your eyes, and you'll never be the princess you always thought you would be. Merry Christmas! I'm going inside, its colder then a witch's tit out here."

Thus, the saga of the cancerpony was born, spawning the single saddest, funniest word in the English language.

LOL

Not exactly how I would teach my children about death.

I actually feel kind of bad that I wasn't really upset when Rick died, I wore black for Syd.

I agree.

"Remember A Day" was my 1337 track on Last.fm.

I haven't listened to Pink Floyd in forever, I'd forgotten how good that song is. But I've always thought Rick Wright was the best member of Pink Floyd, even if Breaking China kind of sucked.

Without Rick Wright Pink Floyd would probably a lot less liked by me. I sometimes wonder how much of little nuances of PF's sound were created by him.
