I got backed up with a mild family emergency — everything’s fine now — and I decided to just go gonzo with writing stuff tonight because I needed to clean out the pipes. But that meant that I wasn’t in a musical mind right now, so… no video. Sorry about that.
Suggestions welcome. I mean, I’m starting to prefer the Samsung to the iPod when it comes to music. At least I have all my songs now.

Pink Floyd, Echoes. One twenty-three-minute track (yes, 23 minutes) that took up the entire side 2 of the Meddle album. Think of it as a warm-up for Dark Side of the Moon (which was the subsequent album).
Also, remember the main theme from Phantom Of The Opera, the musical? Stolen from Pink Floyd, Echoes. Roger Waters recognizes this, but said “Life’s too short to sue Andrew f*cking Lloyd Webber.”
I feel compelled to add this cover by Kate Bush as well:
