It's nice.. Fun... And how many people looked at this blog over the past three days.. If you continue to look at this site like you have here's a BIG THANK YOU for the stat boost.. I've never had that many views here on this or ANY blog I have ever had.. Not in a short span like that.. Hard to believe that that many can change the way I think of writing a blog.. How many looked at this blog?? In a short few hours I had over 166 views.. Which might sound small but when you figure I had five to seven in a weeks period, 166 in a few hours time is huge.. Which begs the question is it real?? Are those numbers real or a figment of the blogger numbers counter.. And where were all these views from?? Well the answer to that question is Europe.. Where in Europe?? France to be exact.. Strange how that can be the case and also it wasn't a latest entry, but rather a single entry..:
De pagina die je in dit blog zoekt, bestaat helaas niet. Which when translated simply means the entry you are trying to look at is no longer available or something to that nature.. Simply put, I would do an entry and then either decide after having it go live to either schedule it at a different time or to revert to draft for a possible reschedule or to revert to draft with the idea or writing it by adding/subtracting or it gets full on deleted which rarely happens but has.. I have several drafts I am working on now that will either be completed or deleted before too long..
The barn is back.. Baby the barn is back and it is better than ever.. After it was made to be dropped by Blogger, they moved to Zetaboards and are more of a forum than a blog which suits them better I think.. They were told that some of the music they had on site was not bootleg but instead quite NOT bootleg.. And so they got the old cease and desist letter (who hasn't gotten one of those??) Even I have gotten one of those.. And so rather than chance it the shut down.. This was back in .. May I think.. And I thought there wouldn't be another site that was as good as that site.. Then I was looking at one of the other sites that has this kind of music and there was a link to the barn.. Known better as Hear Rock City.. Some of the best bootlegs to ever be gotten are there..
Speaking of bootleg material, when a group releases a new recording it tends to get the bootlegs to be released again.. In this case the new Pink Floyd record The Endless River being released yesterday should get the bootlegs flowing again.. I want to see what there is, because I got the bootlegs Have You Got It Yet and Games For May each are fan compilations with Games for may being a four disc set and Have you got it yet being a seven disc set.. Yeah they are big but Pink Floyd has a huge fan following.. Of all things I still don't have the endless river yet.. I was gonna preorder it from Barnes and Noble but didn't yet.. Might get it ordered by the weekend.. I think it will be a great album but you have to remember it is the album they were supposed to put out after Division Bell.. I kept waiting for them to get it out by the first part of 2000 but it was not to be.. And I think when they were getting ready to reissue the Division Bell that they came across those recordings and finally decided to do something with them.. I knew they had them, because I was (am) a huge Floyd fan and read about everything there was to read about them over the years.. I knew they had all this and they still have material that may never see the light of day in the original recordings for the Meddle album that was originally the household objects recordings.. Using glasses of water, rubber bands stretched to make music.. All sorts of interesting things but it was abandonded to start the album Meddle instead.. Also the original Momentary Lapse of Reason album would be interesting to hear.. Remember the original album was submitted to the record company and they refused it because it didn't sound like Pink Floyd enough... Go figure... So when you hear them saying there isn't anything else in the vaults, trust me.. THERE IS.. It just might not be up to their standard.. I say box it and call it Not Up To Our Standard.. People will buy it..

(P.S. An apology to those who read this bit about the bootleg material released about the Floyd.. I was trying to go from memory about what I have and everything.. Yesterday I checked the Crazy Diamond box set that was released with the Syd Barrett music, that's where I keep the bootleg releases of Pink Floyd and here is the actual names of the sets and number of discs.. Have You Got It Yet is a four disc set, four DVD disc set so in actual compact disc that would come out to sixteen or there about, and included in this set are rare videos, music and picture and programs from a good number of tours.. Dolls Dark House single compact disc with music from before the floyd lineup with Syd and Bob Klose... An un-named disc with early Syd performances with the never before released Scream Thy Last Scream included.. And of course the Games For May set is only a four compact disc set.. The Have You Got It Yet set I added a few little nuggets to, including the Darkside remix released back in 2001.. Dark side of the dark side.. A remix that really puts it to you, and hour long mix of clips of songs which includes a Australian PF version of Comfortably Numb... )
