Baby Lemonade – Syd Barrett – Official Lyrics Video

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 26/09/2024 by Tony R26/09/2024

Yet another remarkable piece from Artist on the Border has been shared on the Syd Barrett Official YouTube channel, this one in the form of a collage style animated lyric video. “Baby Lemonade,” served as the opening number for Syd’s second solo album, “Barrett.” Recorded in early 1970 with the support of David Gilmour, Rick Wright, and Jerry Shirley, the song features a chord sequence that Gilmour captured spontaneously while Syd was warming up on the guitar. Additionally, “Baby Lemonade” was performed during Syd’s guest appearance on John Peel’s Top Gear in February 1970.

According to the video creator, the animation for “Baby Lemonade” is a collage triplet. One part Syd Barrett mural. One part obscure Syd-references contest (How many can you spot?) and then there’s “Fart Enjoy”. You can watch here to find them all:

Body Count – “Comfortably Numb featuring David Gilmour” Out Now

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 20/09/2024 by Tony R05/10/2024

Shaking things up in the rock scene, Body Count, the heavy metal band led by rapper Ice-T, has released a new single today, an interesting rendition of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb,” featuring the one and only David Gilmour guest soloing on guitar! Although this collaboration may seem unexpected, it provides a unique take on the classic song. David is quoted saying: “The initial contact from Ice-T was for permission to use the song, but I thought I might offer to play on it as well. I like the new lyrics, they’re talking about the world we’re living in now, which is quite scary.” You can listen to the song here:

Anthony Moore Announces ‘Home of the Demo’ Album, Out Oct. 25; New Single “Earthbound Misfit” Out Now

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 13/09/2024 by Tony R05/10/2024


Anthony Moore, a frequent collaborator with the Floyd, known for his work on A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, as well as Rick Wright’s Broken China, is set to release a new album next month. Home of the Demo from Drag City Records is out on October 25th and features the single “Earthbound Misfit” — an early version of Pink Floyd’s 1987 hit “Learning to Fly”, which Moore co-wrote.

Home of the Demo unpacks ten tracks from what we might otherwise call a lost era: subtitled “from the dawn of bedsit recording, on the cusp of the analogue-to-digital shift” and sounding nearer to DIY than we’d hear from any of your fancy modern kit! Using “a few hundred quid’s worth of gear balanced precariously on bookshelves and tabletops in bedrooms and basements”, as Anthony puts it, he produced a spread of well-appointed, ambitiously clever songs between 1978–1984 for himself and others — such as his friend David Gilmour, who used a couple pieces from Home of the Demo for Pink Floyd’s 1987 comeback album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Forty-some years on, we find these songs marvellously mellowed by time and latter-day mastering: from the heavenly stretches of “Me and Neil Diamond”, featuring one of those hot young Bunnymen on vocals, to an irresistible version of “Judy, Judy” with soaring lead guitars from the ominously monikered “Page The Oracle”. Hmm hmm!

Let’s talk about that “Earthbound Misfit”, though — because really, folks, it’s as if Anthony knew he was demoing a song that was gonna scale charts around the world! The unique journey of this track is a head-turner, flying from Anthony’s basement into Gilmour’s houseboat-turned-studio to later become a Pink Floyd favourite. Before that though, there was this “Earthbound Misfit”: the drum machine dry and austere, the keyboards sucking you into the vastness of space, the guitars stretching backwards through time. The lyrics feature a suitable Floyd-ishness; but even on its own, the chorus couplet “Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky/Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I” feels carved from eternal rock.

Perhaps the songs on Home of the Demo aren’t so much “secret” as they were too “extra” for the basic cut of the proceedings at the time; nevertheless, Drag City’s happy to be responsible for hawking this particular stroke of extras. The inconvenient truth of Anthony Moore lets loose on October 25th, 2024! Pre-order your copy by clicking these links: LP | MP3 | FLAC
