Show #47, Release date: 31. December, 2005

Yep… One ambitious, Fat Old Sun from Geelong, Australia asked me if he could have a go at making his own Brain Damage radio show for me to hear. I said why not and two weeks later he sent it to me. After listening to it, I feel it deserves some merit. After all he throws in some good narration, has a decent selection of songs and even used a music bed to talk over, just like mine. Fat Old Sun had no intention of this going public but I want to share it with you. Brain Damage “up above” (the original) will be back on 7. January, 2006.

Enjoy the surprise podcast and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Show #45, Release Date: 2. December, 2005

(Original Show #8, Air Date: 15. May, 2004)

Kicking around on a piece of ground in my hometown! Foxboro, Ma., 19. May 1994.  It was a cold, damp, drizzly “English” Thursday evening, typical Spring weather for May and perfect weather for a Pink Floyd show. It was the second night during their three night stay in the Boston area. It was Section B2, 19th Row (15 feet in front of the soundboard), Seat 19 (center stage). WOW! It was truly an incredible sensory overload.

The day after the concert, the sun was shining bright with few clouds in the sky, yet it was quite windy. Nonetheless, Pink Floyd’s airship The Division Belle made a rare appearance.

Show #44, Release date: 19. November, 2005

Aye an a bit o’ mackerel, fiddler, rack and fear, And I rutted down by the hade and the furrow. Well, I slipped me in a flop and hit down and I shied, and I cried, cried, cried. The fear of fallin’ down aft’ taken, never back to rise and then cried Mary and I tucked up Wi’ a Claymore out and about, and I run down, down the mechyn sty and back on fiery hore that was fallin’ around the feet. “Never!” I cried! “Never shall ye get me alive ya rotten hound of the Burnie Brae.” Well, I snapped for a blade and a Claymore cut and thrust and I fell down before him ’round his feet. “Aye!” a roar he cried. Frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall but dead, dead as a can by a feat deah… and the wind cried Mary, Thank you.*

Sorry for the “slight” delay on this. I ran into some issues during the mastering process. No theme for this one. I’m been so ridiculously busy with my studies I’ve had little time to squeeze a good one out… hahaha!! Wait a second, that didn’t sound right. I mean, I didn’t spend as much time on this, as I would have liked, but for a last minute effort, this podcast came out well. Hope you like.

Show #43, Release date: 4. November, 2005

(Originally Show #29, Air date: 11. March, 2005)

Electric Factory, Philadelphia, Pa, 26. September, 70 – If you close your eyes, you will feel as though you are there in the room. The Electric Factory, in Philadelphia (as you can see on the photo) is not very big. You can hear peoples’ coughs echo off the walls during the quiet moments, it’s that small of a “room”.

The performance is excellent and there’s a good amount of experimentation going on… more than usual for a 1970 Floyd show (based on what I’ve heard so far). Every song is played beautifully from start to finish. Interstellar Overdrive was especially “interesting”. A very spaced out show indeed.

Whoever taped this show, where ever you are… I LOVE YOU!!!!!

This podcast (show #42) features some of Floyd’s not so good moments on stage dealing with technical glitches, power outages, Roger’s short temper and Mother nature, to name a few. This podcast runs 2h:22m:42

When I did Brain Damage on the radio, sometimes I featured a full concert… is that something you would like me to continue to do? Please let me know by leaving your comments. Thank you and I hope you dig this latest podcast.  Here’s the playlist.

Here you go… I’m a little late in getting this on-line. No theme for this show, but fear not, the next podcast (No. 42) will have a cool theme. This show runs 1h:54m:13s.

Hello, Welcome back. Here is show #40.

No theme for this one, just some killer Floyd tunes and runs 104minutes.

What do you think, should I post playlists with each new podcast or would you rather have the element of surprise?

Oh, in case you’re curious… the photo is of Devil’s Golf Course, taken in Death Valley, near Zabriskie Point. The terrain is where the name of the song Crumbling Land originates. Photo Bradley Jaycovered car trailer for sale

Show #39, release date: 9. September, 2005

Okay, you waited long enough, here it is, the first full podcast. For now this will be a bi-weekly show.

This one runs 121 minutes. Now I have to say, this is very odd getting used to because it’s so different than doing a live show on the air. I need to sharpen the axe a little.

Deep down I want to thank you for your infinite patience and willingness to wait almost four months for this to kick off.

I hope it wont disappoint you.

This show features only unique soundboard recordings, most of which are unreleased.

– A recording from Australia. Tennis anyone?

– Spooky sounds from Montreux your Mother warned you about

– Live8 comments from David Gilmour

– An Italian two-fer

– Three farm pigs running free in Berlin

– and lots more
