The Trippiest 3 Minutes of Your Day.

Aardman Animation created, no crafted this fine teaser for Darkside, a BBC radio production based on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon. The play's made in honour of the 40th anniversary of the classic album and boy, what a fitting tribute the teaser itself is. I could go on and describe the teaser and how it's perfectly in sync with Floyd's psychedelic words and melodies, but by jove this video beggars description. Even if you don't listen to Floyd , this video will serve as both a good summary of their work and also as a primer to their music. Find it after the jump.

Pink Floyd Album Cover Project.

I discovered Pink Floyd long before Justin Bieber hit puberty. But this post isn't about their beautiful music, for plenty has already been said about that and if I started to add to it, this might turn into a blog of its own.

I just wanted to appreciate how inventive and visually striking Pink Floyd's album covers have been. Much like their concerts actually. And although I love the illustrated covers, it's the photographed ones that take my breath away. 

Look at this one. It's subliminal. Haunting. Yet completely je ne sais quoi. Yes, they make me go completely artsy fartsy and use French.
