LSFA Floyd Edition 2

Welcome back humans! Today we are going to talk about my 3rd favorite Pink Floyd album, Wish You Were Here. This is the ninth studio album, and came out in September of 1975.

Before I can tell you anything about this album, you'll have to know some backround. Before Pink Floyd had David Gilmour to sing and play guitar, they had a gentleman by the name of Syd Barret. He had all the skills and charisma Pink Floyd needed.... unfortunantly he got addicted to acid and lost all of that. This album is mostly about him (hence the name Wish You Were Here). David Gilmour and Richard Wright say it's there favorite album threy made.

Heres a picture of Syd Barret before and after his big acid addiction.

So let that be a lesson. DRUGS ARE BAD MMKAY? Anyway here's the track list.

Here! This is Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. There's no instumentals on this album, so I hope you like David Gilmour's voice.

L.S.F.A Floyd Edition

Ahhh Pink Floyd! Nothing in the world sounds like them! They have some of the best albums ever produced, and I am going share my top 4 favorite albums proudced by Pink Floyd with you today! So get ready to experience:

Lord Semaj's Favorite Albums: The Floyd Edition! Today's (and part 1) Album, MEDDLE.

Meddle is Pink Floyd's 6th studio album that came out in 1971. This is Pink Floyd's weirdist album I have ever heard (so far). Because it didn't have any "Hit Singles" It's popularity was very low in the US. Only the hardcore Floyd fans (such as myself) have this album. I have it on CD and on Record! How cool is that?! Anyway, this album has Pink Floyd's longest song ever on this album. It's called "Echoes". Guess how long it is? 10 min? NO! 15 min? No! 20 min? Kinda... To be technical it's 23:29. Thats the longest song I know of. It probally has the best lyrics in a Pink Floyd song too. Another one of my favorites is "One of these days" Its one of the most awesome instumentals I've ever heard! has 2 bass guitars in it, drums, keyboards, and a steel lap guitar. This song has things done with the bass that I didn't even know were possible.

Society Makes me Sick.

Ok, so I dont usually talk about my personal life, but I really feel like ranting. So I have really long hair (for a male) It goes down to about my shoulders. Well in the world of High-School, THIS WILL NOT DO!! If anybody dares to look, act, or think different, they wont stand a chance! Yeah I look a little odd compared to the "Normal" 16- year old boy. I wear all black, grow my hair out, and listen to music from 40 years ago, but is that really a reason to treat me as a 2nd class citizen? I like being weird! I dont believe that everybody in the friggin world has to be exactly the same! This doesn't mean I get pissed when people say "Your weird!" I'm just fine with that. Yeah, I'm weird and freakin proud of it! I just hate it when people say "You need a hair cut, you look like a girl!" I know that a lot of people in the world arn't religious, but when ever you see a picture of Jesus (even know we dont really know what he looked like) what does he look like? Blah blah blah blah LONG BROWN HAIR! Moses? LONG HAIR, Noah? LONG HAIR! So what in the bollocks is the big friggin deal?! I have long hair, get over it! Untill next time, I'm Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Lord Semaj's Favorite Album's Part 2

Hello lower life forms! Welcome to the 2nd installment in my series. Todays album is:

RUSH---Moving Pictures

This is one of Rush's best albums. This is the album that made Geddy, Alex and Neil famous. The level of musicianship is truly amazing. Not only are the lyrics great, but so are the instruments. The epitome of Rush's proof of musicianship can be heard in there instumental, "YYZ". Which is the most drum/bass I have ever heard. This is the album that also has one of the bands most popular songs "Tom Sawyer" (although honestly, the radio plays it too much. There are a crap-load of other amazing Rush songs)

In terms of drumming, Neil Peart is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Thats a fact not an a opinion. Alex Lifeson is probally the most under-rated guitarist I can think of, and Geddy Lee is the 2nd best Bass player in rock ever! (the first would go to John Entwistle of The Who)

Track List

Tom Sawyer

Red Barchetta

YYZ

Limelight

The Camera Eye

Witch Hunt

Vital Signs

Here! Here's Rush's instrumental "YYZ"! A lot of times, people dont like bands because of the singing, but here there isnt any singing! Enjoy! Oh, and there's also a drum solo by Neil Peart!

Lord Semaj's Favorite Albums 1

Welcome to a brand new series! Lord Semaj's Favorite Albums! In this series, I'll be sharing with you well....... MY FAVORITE ALBUMS! Today's album: Black Sabbath- Paranoid

This just might be the greatest Heavy Metal album that ever came out! It's certainly the most important in my opinion.

Ozzy Osbourne's voice goes perfect with Tony Iommi's guitar, and ball busting Bass and Drum lines featured by Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Put that all together and you get the all time 1970 classic PARANOID!


Track List
War Pigs
Paranoid
Planet Caravan
Iron Man
Electric Funeral
Hand Of Doom
Rat Salad
Fairies Wear Boots

The name of the Album was originally going to be "War Pigs", but the record company decided not to name it that because they feared backlash from the Vietnam protesters. In fact the actual song "Paranoid" was a last minute resort because they felt the album was too short and needed one more song. So Tony Iommi came up with the guitar lick, Geezer Butler came up with some lyrics and that was that.

Here's the classic album cover of a guy with a shield and a sword jumping from behind a tree!

Electric Bass turned 60!

Hello everybody! Today we will celebrate the birth of the first electric Bass Guitar. It was made in 1951 and was invented by Leo Fender. The name of the Bass is the Fender Precision.... and I want one. Fender actually is making a 60th aniversary Fender Precision, but it's $1,500!

So Leo Fender, thank you for giving us the greatest instrument of all time!

Untill next time, I'm Lord Semaj, and that will be all.
