Then I had a fangirl 'OMG, there's a FORUM?!' moment.
Almost my story as well :lol: And an absolutely cool username!

Not sure if I should reply in here as a new member or not...and sometimes treading on the protocol of forums is a good way to get kicked off before you have really made a name for yourself. But indecision is pointless so here I am.

New member, but one with an agenda. I want to share my mixes of Pink Floyd with fellow fans and this seems like a good place to do it.

It's an attempt at making a comprehensive collection of their music, incorporating potentially controversial edits, some rare snippets and bits of solo work. It's all intended to be fun and for enjoyment and if anyone's interested reply to this and, providing it doesn't break some rule somewhere, I'll post the link.

PS If it does break some rule then sorry for mentioning it... <ii>

What was the error message? That the image was too big?

The size in terms of the dimensions AND the file size matter. Perhaps the file size is too big.

Or you can do it in Paint, if you know the sizes of your picture file.

Isn't This Where I Came In?

Post by BK Phil »

Hello Neptune!

Relatively old fan here, more than 30 years since I bought my first albums.

I say relatively... I recall when I saw the Floyd in Hartford in '87, some old geezer (must have been at least 40, ha!) was wearing an Animals Tour t-shirt, and I was full of awed reverence for that wondrous old relic... in the meantime, my old KAOS t-shirts are now twice as old as that Animals shirt was back then....

So anyway... I've been away for a while. Spent the 80's obsessively chasing all things Floyd, the 90's less so, and in the new millennium have had my attentions elsewhere. And then... decided to spin an old roio... and then another... it's all coming back to me now.

I'm a Waters man. Might as well get that out of the way. The Final Cut is easily in my Top 5 albums. I love The Pros and Cons. But I can barely remember what the post-Waters Floyd albums were called....

But I'm a lover not a hater. I've seen the post-Waters Floyd a half dozen times, and I'd probably go see them again if they came around. Seen Waters a half-dozen times, too.

Odd personal detail: Don't much care for The Wall, although it obviously contains gems.

Finally, Syd. Nothing is quite as exquisite as Syd's solo work.

Not true - it always saddens me to see a fellow Floydian leave the forum, except if I generally dislike him/her. So, welcome back :)
