Popular Cape band 57 Heavy will channel their inner Pink Floyd for a special experience at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. The multi-media show features imagery inspired by the cover of the Pink Floyd album ‘Animals,’ which will be performed in its entirety along with ‘Dark Side of the Moon.’ Nate Blaser plays the acoustic guitar.

The repertoire spans songs from the entire Pink Floyd catalog, going back to the Syd Barrett era of the band’s 1967 debut “Piper at the Gates of Dawn.” Mr. Darlington has a pretty good sense, though, of what the average Brit Floyd fan wants.

‘Cheerio’ is track 8, but they lied and followed it up with ‘Time Between’. Mercifully though, this darker take on Syd Barrett’s solo works is the best thing all album, and for once doesn’t sound like it’s loaded with private innuendo.

kbgaNowPlaying: Syd Barrett - late Night

ssiriv: I was reading into Syd Barrett's life and how it ^^ed up and it made me sad lol but from what I read he was cool with his life

Hello, I a a very artistic person. I am a huge musician, I love playing guitar, writing songs, and poems, along with painting and drawing. I want to make myself look very mysterious and good looking, someone you want to get to know, not because they look attractive necessarily but because of they just look, well, mysterious, like they're a book you want to read. My number one inspiration is Syd Barrett, the original front man of Pink Floyd. I think that his hairstyle would be perfect for me! Here is a perfect example of what I want: http://kom.net/~dbrick/music/barrett/barrett2.jpg Now, I am still in school, and my hair is blonde and totally straight. So, the complete opposite of what I want. What products and what procedures should I do to get my hair like that? I am kinda thinking about dying it black, but I am not so sure. Apologies for the semi-odd question. Thank you very much!!!

As a solo artist. I am just going to say top five, but you can say more if you want to :) In no particular Order: -terrapin -dark globe -golden hair -if its in you -here i go. I am very happy because today, i went to toronto and i went to this really cool band shirt store. I found a syd barrett shirt in the pink floyd section and i litterally squeeled because i have only seen syd barrett shirts online. Even though it was 30 bucks i got it! And i am very happy, i love this shirt. It looks like this: http://www.gomerch.com/shop/body.php?module=product_detailsπd=3478&id=98 :D Haha im sorry i didint catch the name! I saw shirts in the window and i just ran in lol. But i know where it is! Its on queen street west. Near black market Its really close to a record shop Very very Close to friendly strangers The store has a big window, with band shirts hung in it, and lights along the frame. Inside, all the walls are covered in band shirts :D Hope this helped! The people in the store are really nice too :)

Is there any chance to get hairstyle like this without using any chemicals apart from hair shampoo? I've got straight, little bit wavy hair, but I haven't got good experiences with using hair conditioners and stuff like that. http://i2.listal.com/image/1120627/600full-syd-barrett.jpg http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/46770757/Syd+Barrett.jpg

Not many people my age know about Syd Barrett, mainly because he left pink Floyd before they got big with the success of dark side of the moon. So, does anyone here appreciate his music? Oh and he was extraordinarily attractive, just putting it out there.

or was it the other singer?
