BOS to "Love My Way." I'll reiterate what I said last time someone played it: I rather enjoyed the Polyphonic Spree's cover of it this year though I wish they'd gone even further on the chorale side.

And VHM to "Alex the Seal."

Song No. 3 is new to me.  Proggy, Floydish, not my cup of tea.

My friend Jagger used to intentionally mondegreen it that way.

Very perceptive. It is Floyd, Possible Pasts, from their last gasp album, The Final Cut.
Let's get right to it.

I'm thinking that was a Floyd solo project.  "f---ing ponderous" as Casey Kasem once famously said.

I'm feeling nostalgic: Can someone go get Beej to stop by, just to post a query about "What does it feel like being cloned?"

I was only guessing that it was Floyd myself, but it made for a nifty segue out of the Lebanon Marine base bombing cip.

WOS to Genesis, Phil seemingly unable to decide which direction to take the vocal in.
