Syd Barrett (1946 - 2006)

"And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway."

Sorry for the lack of posts for all of about two weeks now. I am back. And I have a ton of shit I want to throw down on. Coming home from a tiring business trip yesterday I heard the sad news about Syd Barrett. He is an interesting study for a variety of reasons. The legacy and impact he left on Pink Floyd is easy to notice on the tracks below which were written by Barrett in the mid/late 60s.

MP3: Pink Floyd - "See Emily Play"
MP3: Pink Floyd - "Astronomy Domine"
MP3: Pink Floyd - "Arnold Layne"
MP3: Pink Floyd - "Jugband Blues"
