RevMike's Journal: So uncool I'm cool

I finally purchased the little adapter so that I can use my Treo 650 as an MP3 player. I downloaded PocketTunes, which is a fantastic little app, loaded up my memory card, and now I'm listening.

Of course, the "cool" thing is to have the white iPod headphones, or even better, the black iPod headphones. What am I using? Climb in the wayback machine and go back to 1990, when the Sony walkman line was being produced in bright yellow and black. I'm using bright yellow earbud headphones! I'm probably the only one on the train or subway hip enough to pull that off.

While we're on the topic of music, let me just stte for the record that early Pink Floyd consists of a whole lot of incredible but often overlooked music. Atom Heart Mother and Meddle are two fantastic albums; Fearless and Summer '68 are great songs. So if your experience with Pink Floyd consists of Dark Side, The Wall, Animals, and Wish You Were Here give the early stuff a listen.

*yawn* i've heard this all before... ;)

My first experience with that album was riding back across Washington State after being awake for 36 hours. My buddy asked me to guess who it was. I guessed Manheim Steamroller [wikipedia.org] but was puzzled as to why the orchestra wasn't as precise as I remembered. Then I started to get a clue.

After being awake that long I started to hallucinate (really, I'm a sleep wimp) and have made it a point to no longer even think about staying up that long, however Pink Floyd was the perfect music to have that happen to. As I v

Yellow you say?

Pink Floyd and Douglas Adams

Heck, lately I've been listening to the original Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy- the first 12 fits- I don't remember off hand what the song is, but Pink Floyd did the original soundtrack.

You know, it's funny, I was talking with someone about Pink Floyd just the other day ... hadn't even thought about Pink Floyd for years ... is there some sort of Pink Floyd revival going on/in the air?
