Happy National Black Cat Day!

National Black Cat Day is celebrated annually on October 27th! Is there any animal more metal than a black cat? I think not.


I wanted to post this today to remind folks to keep their black cats inside this week - especially on Halloween night - because people can be monsters and do bad things to the ebony furry felines.



Here's "Black Cat" by David Gilmour from his new album Luck and Strange. My favorite track on the album!

David Gilmour... The Remix?

For your Friday new music fix, I present to you the remix of David Gilmour and Romany Gilmour "Between Two Points" from the Luck and Strange album. Gus from alt-J did the remix.


This definitely doesn't sound like Pink Floyd!

David Gilmour, 'Luck and Strange' Out Now

This is not a drill! David Gilmour's new release Luck and Strange is out now. I can't wait for work to be over today so I can give the album a proper listen. I'm getting excited about the show in a couple months too! I will never see Pink Floyd live, but David's show will be a close substitute!

It Is Happening: David Gilmour Edition 

About those David Gilmour tickets that I wanted so bad… I got a pair!


I ended up with the Hollywood Bowl on October 29. The date kind of sucks for me personally, but I am going to try and make it work. It’s been a dream of mine to see Gilmour play his guitar live and in a historic venue no less! The best part was that I got lucky with a pre-sale code and just bought tickets direct. They weren’t cheap per se but they also weren’t jacked-up aftermarket prices either.


Pink Floyd forever, man.

David Gilmour, 'The Piper's Call' -- Official Video

The news earlier this week of David Gilmour's new solo album Luck & Strange coming in September got me excited. Now there's a video for the first single called "The Piper's Call." It's a behind-the-scenes video, shot while Gilmour was recording the new album.


The true guitar solo kicks in at 3:45 and it goes until the end of the track. The solo is good. Really good. I could extract that part of the song and just listen to it on a loop. The guitar tone is unmistakeble - hear it and you know it's the work of genius Gilmour.

David Gilmour Announces New Album, Single

This is not a drill and I am kind of freaking out: my beloved David Gilmour is releasing a new album! It’s his first new one in nine years and is named The Piper’s Call. The first single is “Luck and Strange” and I just plain hope there is a tour involved too. Like, David Gilmour is the number one artist I want to see perform live. He is a guitar genius and I can listen to Pink Floyd endlessly. Gilmour is 78 so I don’t foresee lots of tours in his future – so he should strike while the iron is hot!


Gilmour could really threaten me with a good time and do a handful of shows in awesome places that would require me to get on a jet plane and empty my vacation fund.


The new album comes out September 6. Stream “Luck and Strange” below!

Roger Waters - David Gilmour Feud Hits Twitter

Oh boy. It's never good when band feuds spill over into social media. We all know that Roger Waters and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd basically hate each other these days.

Well, Roger has been on the wrong side of history for quite some time regarding Russia and the invasion of Ukraine. Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson, tweeted about Roger yesterday. It should be noted Polly isn't a regular rock spouse - she's also a Pink Floyd songwriter. Samson called it straight after Roger's recent interview in a German newspaper...

 

 


Of course, media picked up on this whole thing. I actually saw it myself because I follow David Gilmour and noticed he "liked" Polly's tweet.

 


Well, now Roger Waters is freaking out and "looking into legal action." This after the dude said Israel is just like Nazi Germany... and Ukraine is full of Nazi's too. I dunno man. Not a good look.
