I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried

 Welcome to the amazing world of the Nightlosers and their video for Dragostea e ca si-o riie. I don't know what to say but it is so bizarre and wonderful all at the same time.

 What happens if a walnut, a chestnut, and a pistachio get into race with rocket powered ukuleles and a recorder? Well, they may play Highway Star in their animated video.


Here's a superhero ukulele video by Ukulele Cafe Quartet by Ultraman.


How about a France Gall video of J'ai Retrouvé Mon Chien it's an innocent song about a girl and her dog, but the video might say otherwise.

Shine on you crazy diamond...

The loss of Roger (Syd) Barrett today has taken a piece of my heart away. There will never be another soul like his.

Rest in Peace dear Roger, and thanks for everything.

"My lovably ordinary brother Syd" is an interview with Rosemary Barrett (her first interview in 30 years) she talks about how Roger lived his life simply but was loved by many around him.

This Mortal Coil covers Late Night, one of my favorite Barrett songs. Not quite as good as the original, but still nice and new to me.


A lovely collection of links about Syd Barrett that should keep you busy for quite a while. via Look at This
