Here's how I can be pidgeonholed:

I'm 22 years old. Graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology this May. I'm a Roger Waters man. The Wall and a Saucerful of Secrets are my two favorite albums. My favorite song changes daily, but it's usually The Trial, In the Flesh (and "In the Flesh?"), the Great Gig in the Sky, or Sheep.

I started getting into Pink Floyd about two years ago. I actually had my first exposure to them some time before that, but that was under the influence of something we won't talk about here, and needless to say, I didn't take much of it in. Of course, I never gave them a chance when I was teenager because, well, they were Pink Floyd.

I became a huge Radiohead fan after OK Computer, and I always heard them being compared to Pink Floyd. So I bought Echoes and listened to it quite heavily for a while. I remember specifically, One of these Days and Sheep standing out. Those two songs made me think, Pink Floyd sounds like this? I had a friend who listened to them a lot, so I had him burn me some of their albums -- The Wall, Animals, Meddle, and Wish You Were Here. I began listening to them incessantly, and so I bought real copies of all those albums, plus all of the other Waters-era albums.

Lately I've grown to appreciate Syd Barrett's work. I still haven't taken to David Gilmour.


I also play guitar and keyboards. I write and record my own music, and will start releasing music from my new album within a month or two.

Here's a photo for irrefutable proof:

I'm still trying to learn the Wall note for note, but I'm a rhythm guitarist at heart, so it's proving to be quite a challenge.


So yes. Hi.
