  • You just sent me on a real journey. In high school if you’d asked me or my friends, we would have told you I was a huge Pink Floyd fan.

    When I thought about what my favorite album was I realized all I really knew were pretty basic-bitch albums. DSOTM, The Wall, Is there Anybody Out There; and Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

    Then I started thinking about how I could feel like such a fan and only have so few albums. Then I realized this was before music was pervasively available to listen to for free at any time.

    I distinctly remember the day I decided I was splurging on The Wall double CD set. I’d been stalking it at the record store for months, but it was $30 in 1994 (that’s sixty-five inflation adjusted dollars in 2025!) so I’d kept passing on it despite desperately wanting it.

    TL;DR: I’m old but now I’m catching up on some good music I’d missed out on
