Episode 89 – Pink Floyd Part 11, Animals Pt 1
The group surprised ourselves by having so much to say about this album that we only got through the first side! There is a lot of lore to consider with Animals, from the advent of Britannia Row Studios to the growing influence and vision of Roger Waters. As usual, we cover a wide range of topics by delving into the artwork as well as the music itself. There is much to say about this sleeper album in the “main sequence.” Part 2 coming shortly.

June 27, 2020 Special Episode - Black Lives Matter With Durga McBroom And Andre Cholmondeley
Special Episode – Black Lives Matter with Durga McBroom and Andre Cholmondeley
Ken and Joe host prog rock stalwarts Durga McBroom and Andre Cholmondeley (pronounced “Chumley”) for a discussion of the Black Lives Matter movement. This interview is undeniably different from other Palaver interviews as energy levels surge right out of the gate and current events overshadow arts and music. Andre discusses racial profiling during his early years in the state of New Jersey while Durga relates a similar story from sunny Malibu California. Prepare for a history lesson as both guests share black and Native American historical context. Please refer to our ProgPala Facebook page for a list of resources to support the books, movies, and events as discussed by our guests.

June 25, 2020 Episode 88 - Pink Floyd Part 10, Wish You Were Here
Episode 88 – Pink Floyd Part 10, Wish You Were Here
This episode brings us to Wish You Were Here, perhaps the greatest Pink Floyd collaborative experience. This is an album that we have all enjoyed throughout our lives. Both a celebration of lost friends and a dismissal of the music industry, Wish You Were Here showcases a band that achieved all their dreams and yet found a way to create something as (more?) worthwhile than the art the delivered them to the big time. We consider the various aspects of this record from the iconic guitar phrase of Shine on You Crazy Diamond to the cold distance of Welcome to the Machine. A true masterpiece no matter how you slice it.

Bonus Episode – 1980 Desert Island Palaver Predicament
It’s late in the year 1980 and you find yourself stranded on a desert island with four stellar progressive rock albums and a VERY large supply of Spam. The four albums are Yes – Drama, Rush – Permanent Waves, Peter Gabriel 3 (Melt) and Genesis – Duke. Can you survive under these conditions? Does one of these albums rise above the rest? Which album would you trade for more Spam? In this bonus episode, the group considers all these questions and more…

Episode 85 – Pink Floyd Part 7, Obscured by Clouds
Have you been listening Progressive Palaver’s segment on Pink Floyd and asked yourself “but when are they going to talk about the connections to Deep Purple, Free and Kiss”? If you have, this is your episode. As the group explores this second collaboration between Pink Floyd and Barbet Schroeder, we discover just a touch of whimsy. The gem of the discussion is likely the discovery of the timeline of fuzz and distortion. Good times abound!

Episode 84 – Pink Floyd Part 6, Meddle
We present this episode with all due respect to scrapbookers. 😊 The Palaver considers Meddle which presents the both the highest of highs and lowest of lows as Pink Floyd takes a HUGE step towards prog gods status. While we consider the twists and turns of this most excellent album we get to cover the joys of ostinato and the mysteries of the Binson Echorec .
