Madcap Laughs

Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett died July 7th (as announced today). Syd’s influence on Brit rock was comparable to the Beach Boys’ Wilson’s (whose Pet Sounds often appears neck-n-neck with “Madcap Laughs” in lists of influential albums) on the US scene.

My copy of “Madcap” is sorted into a special sub-section of my album collection along with other unusual standouts of the 60’s/70’s Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Gong,Henry Cow, et. al.

  1. Hi there,

    You’re currently registered for BarCampRDU, but you haven’t confirmed your attendance at the event. If you’d like to attend BarCampRDU, please confirm your attendance by adding your name to the following list:

    If you don’t do this by 5PM on July 20th, you’ll lose your spot to someone on the BarCampRDU waitlist. If you know you’re not going to attend, please remove your name and add it to the Regrets list.

    We’ve still got 25 spots left for the BarCampRDU pre-event (free drinks and apps at Tyler’s Durham), so if you’d like to attend that as well, add your name here:
