When I’m calmly enjoying a Roger Waters song then suddenly there’s a huge explosion sound effect I forgot about
People need to get over this phase of abandoning fandoms so fast. There are 70 year old women still into Spirk and you people can’t hold onto a man for a month. Shape up and stop abandoning your gently used blorbos in wet cardboard boxes on the side of the highway after a week
😭 omg girl he’s conceptualizing his moral standpoints about the world around him and the political landscape he inhabits through poetic verse 😂 lmao girl look he’s sitting at the piano crafting intricate melodies about the horrors of absence, war, greed, and existence in modern society 😭 girl i cannot make this up he’s literally constructing a psycial manifestation of his feeling of disconnection with his audience and those around him 😭
Legit, they look like something Gerald Scarfe would've dreamed up. Sans facial details lol
AI is a beautiful thing sometimes

Here’s another garbage Watermour comic that no one asked for.
"In the finished article, the only thing that is important is whether it moves you or not. There's nothing else as important, at all."

The first purchase I made for myself when I got my first job at 16 (after gas and expenses lol) was a tube of lipgloss, Aerosmith's Greatest Hits, and DSOTM (both on CD). I'd already heard Money on the radio all the time and my dad scared the shit out of me with Time by not warning me about the clocks lol. But that was my first time listening all the way through. Headphones on, in the dark. Completely blown away. 🥲
It’s kind of funny actually I can’t remember the first time I ever heard Dark Side off The Moon. It was just apart of my life one day and I can’t imagine myself without it’s influence. When was the first time you heard it?

Saw Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets: Echoes tour in DC last night. Among lots of funny little things Nick said, he introduced Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun thusly:
"We're going to play a song now that is very near and dear to my heart, because I spent many a year watching Roger Waters bang holy hell out of this gong, and I was never allowed to play it. But, I've got my own gong now and I've given myself permission to play it." 😌
If you're a Floyd fan and you get the chance, go see the show. It was absolutely wonderful. All the pre-Dark Side classics were played and some of the more obscure stuff - like Vegetable Man, one that NO OTHER member of Pink Floyd or Floyd tribute band has ever played live - and they use the "old ways" for producing unique visual effects each night (e.g., using 2 concave clock faces, baby oil, ink, and water to create live lava lamp-like projections). All the old hippies in the audience were bouncing in their seats or jumping out of them to dance. Nick is SO sweet and funny, you can tell by watching him that he's having the best time. The band is also phenomenal and work really well together (Guy Pratt's in the band!). 10/10, if he had another show booked closer I'd see it again. The merch is nice too!
