I had a great idea that we would have spread a rumour about you having a Vegas wife, and then delete all relevant info in this thread about it before you saw it.
Would have been funny...

Just had a look at the "Collection Value" function on Discogs, and notice that I had actually added 463 tracks on to it. :eek: Was convinced it was only about about 50 or so.

ones that I did enter have a value of anything from $967.46 to $4,452.88
Ha, love the specific values.

Hahaah nice one. I wish I had of come home with a Vegas wife. Maybe because it was Halloween but I have never ever ever in my life seen so many unbelievably hot girls over there.

What's with the "Adhesive History and Nomenclature"

Ianuss and some other folk got into a debate over sellotape/cellotape/sticky-back-plastic.
I pointed out to the fact that this was exactly why we needed an Adhesive History and Nomenclature forum on boards.

Scuba fulfilled his noble mod skills and put it as the title of the thread.

Yeah and we spawned a meme.

Just did an interview with Coin Operated Boy, if anyone's interested. He talks about his upcoming Lee Mortimer remix, his production set-up, his new label with Louis Louis, and why Julius Caeser isn't a number, among other things.

Cool, got it now - looks like I can reduce my insurance policy on my collection!

Handy for insurance purposes! Only pain is adding the records, have about 10% in but it is totting up nicely, though about 1 in 8 of my records aren't for sale, mainly the valuable ones!
need to start contributing releases as well, though the process is a bit of a pain

What are people's opinions on Pink Floyd here? I find them a bit sh¡t tbh and I get slightly baffled by the genius tag. Wish you were here is half decent as an album but not one I'd choose to listen to but Dark Side of the Moon irks me quite a bit.

'Guys I have a song called Money and I was thinking, right, to be really smart and out there we could have a cash register on it. Genius isn't it? Just wait until you hear what I have planned for Time…'

And I always get the giggles during that Gig in the Sky tune. Thank you Midlands, Catholic upbringing.

Also Roger Waters comes across as a complete arsehole. All that 'My Daddy died in the war' bullsh¡t gets on my wick. Also there's arrogance and then there's Roger Waters - he has his own scale of arrogance.

I quite like David Gilmour, he's like a cool dad, and he did do some lovely guitar work but Pink Floyd, nah.

I personally think Dark Side of the moon is a timeless album, first discovered it many moons ago (sorry) & still listen to it regularly without getting bored of it, the Wall similarly is an album that has an amazing flow of highs & lows to it & has to be listened to from start to finish to get the most from the story it tells. My favorite song they ever did was,

But its all a matter of taste really & i personally do enjoy immenslly listening to Pink Floyd.

Actually I did a course in work the other day and we did some proper personality tests called Enneagram's - they are pretty accurate. There are 9 different

Quick Test: http://similarminds.com/test.html - takes less than 5 mins
Check your answers and see which number you have the highest % in - this is your number. Also not which ones are 2nd and 3rd as these are your 'tendencies'/
Now read detailed description about your results here: http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/descript.asp

Post your answer here. I'm a 3.

...... and 9 in this. I'm a peacemaker

I really like the 2 first LP's with Barrett, managed to pick up See Emily Play promo 7" for free years ago, and got a nice copy of Arnold Lane last time I was in London. I prefer the earlier more obscure psyche stuff like the soundtrack More-Of the later stuff I like Animals, but can't stand The Wall or anything after.

old gregg

I've never been able to get into Floyd for some reason. At various times I've owned much of their output up to The Wall and even saw them live in Venice in '89 and left early cos I found Gillmore's playing to be irritating. In fact, it's Gilmore I have the biggest problem with. I reckon he's just a pretty average guitarist and don't get me started on his new thing with The Orb.

On the Personality test topic ... I scored a 5 so I'm an 'Investigator' it would seem.

Haha I'm sure some of them were, you could even spot the odd one hanging around the lobby's etc. However, I was there for Halloween – and as you can imagine a lot of people fly in to Vegas for the weekend to Party, Halloween is a big event over there. We went to the Fantasy and Fetish Ball in the Hard Rock Cafe – absolutely massive event – over 5,000 people – everyone in Fancy Dress. Check out some Photos here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=22248&id=120288631352635&page=3

The music was horrific but it did not really matter, was still brilliant fun!

I am not a fan of the Wall also! absolutely love Animals, The Dark Side of the Moon, and Meddle. For me Waters was Pink Floyd, Gilmour was just a blow in , only joking.Gilmour is also a great musician but waters for me is king.

Pink Floyd obsessive me.

Gonna go against the grain and say The Wall was their peak, DSOTM was a close second (and arguably the greatest album of all time conceptually speaking). Waters was Pink Floyd. Much as I love Dave Gilmour (I spent a large part of my youth learning all his solos), Waters was the driving force behind everything genius they did.

I think Syd Barret Pink Floyd was absolutely nothing on the later years, and had he gone on to become a post office worker with a minor drug history, the legend would never have been conceived.

Roger Waters does bring arrogance to brave new levels never seen before (and most likely will never been seen again). But I have absolutely no problem with that given his utter utter genius. There are very few people I put in the genius category in music - Stevie Wonder, Burt Bacharach, Thom Yorke and Roger Waters are probably the only ones I would have no qualms in using that word to describe them.
