Pink Floyd

Canadian rock band Blurred Vision is gearing up to release their debut album. The remake of 'Another Brick In The Wall' by Pink Floyd, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Babak Payami, has been produced to show solidarity to the people of Iran, who are fighting for their freedom of speech against their fundamentalist regime. The video shows images from the fights that occurred after the 2009 Iranian presidential election, that many Iranians claimed was altered and highly influenced by the cleric leadership of Ayatollah's and by the government in general. Most of those images have been captured by people on the streets, as the social media and news agencies were restricted during protests. Protesters were and are seeking a more democratic participation and freedom of speech. The song is available for download on iTunes. 50% of all sales will be donated to Amnesty International.

I was a great fan of Syd Barretts. Especially his work on 'Piper at the Gates Of Dawn'. Overall he was quite gifted in many ways. Aside from the Music which was in a class of its own he was a very good painter and poet. It's irony how times and the 'State Of Celebrity' have changed. I wonder would the paparazzi be hounding him as he road to market on the bicycle with the famous bell? Yet today there thrives and industry built around Das Shadenfreude. Sadly a very talent young artist albeit, acid or qualudes left little glint of a brillant gaze. Just a thousand yard stare past caring.Living his life out in cambridge in a modest home. Cared for by family who loved him and whom he loved. And something else very rare indeed. Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright made certain that his royalties got deposited to his account, they loved their friend and made certain he was treated fairly by all involved. Thus allowing Syd to live quite independantly of any goverment support. The Pink Floyd that I grew up listening to on the 8-track of 'Dark Side Of The Moon'. while parking with my girlfriend in my GTO. The music that continued to be dynamic and different. But I think all in the band would agree, there was always that knowlege of concieving and producing great Albums and Live Shows, of that Dark matter of space & time had a certain magnetic pull across the two inch tape heads of the Studer Machines at Abbey Road from a friend lost in space.The morning that I heard syd had died,I went to my office and the words came pouring out. Then I went to the Studio and recorded Song For Syd. A few day's latter I put the video together This is dedicated to the memory of Syd Barrett...............................

The word ayyuka has two very different meanings: to the highest part of the sky and to tell that a secret has been revealed (an idiom); both meanings describe Ayyuka's music perfectly. Ayyuka patiently spins all the yarns of its name and connotations. Various types of music such as Anatolian rock, arabesque, punk, surf, psychedelic rock, funk are all melt together meticulously by Ayyuka. Ayyuka s music is not just a simple extension of Western music or a genre easily blended with local motives. Ayyuka have played with the likes of Sonic Youth and Jonathan Richmond. http://www.myspace.com/ayyuka Influences: RHCP, Fugazi, Orhan gencebay, Erkin Koray, Queens of the stone age, The Mars Volta, Pj Harvey, Jack White, Beastie Boys, Pink Floyd, John Frusciante, Marc Ribot, Radiohead, Ataxia...

Rocco DeLuca and the Burden is a four-piece American alternative rock and roll band from California who formed in late 2005. Having performed with such musicians as Taj Mahal, John Lee Hooker, and Johnny Cash, their sounds find root in such eclectic acts as Pink Floyd and Ravi Shankar. This was the inaugural Los Angeles event for Gen Art's new music series, Sound Circle, a program presenting the hottest emerging music acts in an intimate setting. Besides doing what they love to do - performing their songs live - groups also get to share stories on their songwriting process. So turn up those speakers, lean back and prepare yourselves for some truly inspired sounds.
