The events that took place around midday my time yesterday deserve some comment. They are the re-union of Split Enz and President Bush's State Of The Union speech, and I will address them in the order in which they happened

Have a fun time moving.

[axver]

Thanks. I hope it goes nice and smoothly. Nothing worse than a move that drags on and on.

[liamtreasure]

I know that from experience, a move that drags on sucks.

Go read a good biography if you need to relax: Nick Mason's is a recommendation.

[axver]

Yeah, we had one that took forever too, a few years ago. We'd used this removalist company for our previous move and they did an awesomely quick job, but second time around, they were terrible.

I'm currently reading a history of the Panama Canal. It's quite fascinating.

Have a laugh: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_America

'Americans claim that their nation is favoured by God, an allegation God vehemently denies.'

BWAHAHAHA!

I love the Uncyclopedia.

[liamtreasure]

I do too, the David Gilmour one is classic, and the Bono one is pretty good. And apparently:

Joy Division
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Joy division is a 12th century torture method developed by Edward B Thinksalot, upon request from the King of Babylon for a more creative device that would work against incredibly happy people. Torture methods were relatively crude at this point in time, and torturees would often break down into fits of giggling. Joy division was created to deal with this by offering the subject two choices, both of equal happiness-causing value. In the subsequent confusion the torturee would have a fork stuck in his eye.

Hahahahaha, that remarkably makes some sense.

I love the Pink Floyd article disclaimer: "Disclaimer ~ This entry is one of the worst on this site and has no comical or historical value of any kind and reading it will make you dumber as a person. Good luck."

[liamtreasure]

Yeah, Uncyclopedia made sense!

The sad thing? In the Floyd article, there's a mention of a song called Heart Beat, Pig Meat....and I've got that song somewhere on my harddrive...

[axver]

... I'm not sure whether to be impressed or mildly concerned.

[liamtreasure]

Both!

[liamtreasure]

There's a 20 minute early version of Us And Them from the same outtakes.

[axver]

TWENTY MINUTES?!

Nice!

[liamtreasure]

Well, that's the live version, which they only played a few northern English gigs in early 1970 (those gigs also saw the debut of Atom Heart Mother, then known as The Amazing Pudding, The Main Theme From More, and Sysyphus. Due to that, Ummagumma is the only non Darkside-like album to be played in full.

[axver]

Oooh, nice.

They haven't played many albums in full? I would've thought that they'd be a band to do that rather than pulling a U2 and missing a couple from almost every disc.

[liamtreasure]

They played the concept albums (DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall) all in full because you couldn't really not play them in full.

PATGOD is missing Bike live.

ASOS is missing Remember A Day and See-Saw.

More is missing a bunch of tracks.

Ummagumma was played live in full.

AHM is missing Summer '68.

Meddle is missing A Pillow Of Winds, Fearless, San Tropez and Seamus.

Obscured By Clouds is missing everything except OBC/WYI and Childhood's End.

AMLOR is missing A New Machine.

TDB is missing Cluster One and Wearing The Inside Out.
