Howdy! My question: Do you enjoy the re-using of motifs throughout DSOTM (Breathe, Breathe Reprise, Any Color You Like all being based around the same chords) or do you find it repetitious? My recommendation: https://youtu.be/g8HxirtezmI I always find myself jamming along to this, no matter the mood or the moment.

I'm a Twin Cities native. I met Eydea. I'm confident when I say his loss was un-measureable for a lot of us. Tragic, early and an example of how humanity lost something with his death. This is a poignant perfect album face off. Time by Pink Floyd and Smile by Eydea and Abilities have so much in common. Missed opportunities and the forgotten. P.S. Do an episode on Serengeti https://open.spotify.com/track/5jAW8dRolbdZavzb0QrTTi?si=93eiJ6rdTle2jktADiRCHw A bop for sure

Hey MinntraX Question what is your favorite musical instrument/sound in a song? For me I'm a sucker with anything with a piano/keys melody or a dope drum beat. Even if I don't know the artist I'll listen to whole track just because I ear catches that melody/beat and I want to see where it goes.

I love how dark side of the moon loops on itself. If you play the album back to back, it seemlessly fades out and back in. Gilmour is one of my favorite guitarists of all time because of the minimalistic feel. Eclipse always gives me the chills. Listen with super solid headphones and you'll be blown away with how many different parts you can here I always included Careful With That's Act, Eugene. Be warned, it gets loud https://youtu.be/Y6VKhA2hz0g

Dark Side is a pretty pivotal album for me. I really wanted to know what you guys think about Time. The bass intro sounding like a clock to one of the most magnificent guitar solos of all time. What track did you connect with the most sonically? or emotionally? Also, what do you think of the frantic pace for Sky Diver - Eyedea & Abilities?

It's a simple question. But have any of you ever checked out Sokpop games on steam? They're such an interesting rabbit hole to dive into.

Did any of you ever listen to Dark Side synced up to the Wizard of Oz as a music video? If you start the album on the second roar of the MGM lion it matches up to the movie in some pretty cool ways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtExVJlgEC0

Keep up the good work :D

I recently started listening to Stevie Wonder after a lifetime of thinking he only sang silly love songs. I said to my wife "I can't believe Stevie Wonder is so awesome" and she looked at me like I'd said the dumbest thing in the world. Have you ever had that experience with a "legendary artist?" Also I miss that old kanye.

Be honest: have you ever been shamed out of liking an artist or band? Like, you see someone making fun of a band you like and it sticks with you so much that it makes you not wanna listen to them anymore?
