“..As far as I'm (and most of the world's scientists and climatologists) concerned, the debate is over. I respect and appreciate your right to say, “I don't know..” but please step out of the way while the rest of us tree-huggers try to do something about the problem.
..and we'll just SEE about your charisma oddservation.”

Because of this criticism (which I feel to be unjustified), I am going to try to recover my self-esteem; re-invent myself; shuck any remnants of a macho reputation; dig deep into my sensitive side and really try to get it right. These first three posts are, in my opinion, beyond reproach. Maybe it was Mars in the past- but, now... it is totally VENUS!!!!!!!!!!!

“I'm not about to dis any of their later music because it's brilliant in its own right, but this show highlights Floyd's early creativity and experimental nature. You won't hear 32 tracks each polished to an incredible shine, you'll hear the rough makings of future brillance. We aren't talking about extremely talented musicians, we are talking about creative and visionary musicians forming the basis of their complex ideas with rudimentary tools. Listening to this its easy to picture how they launched these ideas into some of the most unique and captivating music in all of rock...”
