For those of you who had been holding out hope that Pink Floyd would reform with David Gilmour on guitar and Roger Waters on bass, we’ve got some bad news. Gilmour told the AP: “”There have been all sorts of farewell moments in people’s lives and careers which they have then rescinded, but I think I can fairly categorically say that there won’t be a tour or an album again that I take part in.”
Gilmour explained that while he enjoyed playing Live 8 with Waters in 2005 the rehearsals reminded him why they had a falling out in the first place. Bummer!
What’s not a bummer are these terrific links we’ve found…

What a great blog entry from UM’s Joel Cummins about Bob Moog and he and his synth/keys contribution to some of ‘our’ fave music…(i know a couple older musicians in Ithaca who worked with Moog on experimenting w/ sound during his days @ Cornell.)
great line here from Cummins’ entry:
“Looking back to the beginning of our relationship with Moog, it all started when I saw a friend’s band in South Bend with these crazy sounding pedals. As it turns out, that friend is Jake, and he had worked out a trade of a DAT recorder for the Moog Taurus II pedals in the early days of Ali Baba’s Tahini. We’ve often laughed about how it must have been one of the ultimate analog-for-digital deals to ever go down.”
