We at AFG remember the late great Syd Barrett today on his birthday. Happy Birthday Syd, without whom none of us would be here if not for your contributions to the arts and pop culture. Shine on Syd, long live RKB.

Syd Barrett’s Official Youtube page has posted a new video, taken from Opel focusing on the track Clowns and Jugglers which became the Syd classic Octopus.
