Playlist July 15, 2006 (show's 4th anniversary)

Having only just lost Syd Barrett this week, I can't believe I failed to mention during the show how much Syd Barrett's music means to me. If you have the chance to check out some of his early work with Pink Floyd, by all means do! It's addictive stuff. Start with "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and go from there. Some of my favorite songs of his are "Arnold Lane," "Lucifer Sam," "Gnome," "See Emily Play," and "Chapter 24." The melodies are so beautiful and the lyrics are of the psychedelic, fantatstic sort that could only have come from a madman or a genius, if you know what I mean.

Many thanks to all who played along with my crazy trivia idea!
