oh, syd
one of my favorite musicians, syd barret, has died. plenty of musicians i love were dead before i was even born, but syd barrett had a special mystique: he was alive but a recluse, and no longer, at least not publically, a musician. how liminal!
rest in peace, syd, and ride on your merry bike.
i'll celebrate your contribution to this world by sharing some links to your music:
this page appears to have links you can listen to
an informative homepage
and a wikipedia entry
ETA finally, an article that talks of his solo work and not just his contribution to Pink Floyd
and this one is good for the reader comments
rolling stone's playlist of what they've deemed his best tracks
