one thing I really appreciate about nick’s book is that, although there are plenty of sins of omission (e.g., the cocaine use; a lot of the infidelity), he is very open about how they treated syd. he doesn’t sugarcoat it or attempt to defend their behavior. instead he reflects honestly about how they were not at all compassionate to syd’s situation at the time, and that their prioritization of the band’s success over his wellbeing only made things worse for him. it needed to be said, and I really appreciate nick for not attempting to save face over what is clearly a very touchy subject

#as has been said. i take issue with syd’s life being framed as a tragedy #but a tragedy I -do- hear when I’m listening is for the rest of them: realizing too late that maybe you could’ve done more to help #and now that -you’ve- worn out your welcome in his life (and therefore are unable to see the much more nuanced and hopeful whole story)#you have no reason not to imagine the worst. and the music you perform to make sense of your complicity not only puts a mental strain on yo #but certainly isn’t helping -him- find his peace and quiet either #its a shame that they express themselves so beautifully. the virtue of bad art is that its prices are so much easier to discuss #pink floyd #nick mason #syd barrett

I know I say that I write Red Supergiant for my brother at 29, Nikita at 16, and me at 19, but in reality I also write it for a hypothetical addict who needs to see their experience understood and represented, and I also write it for a hypothetical group of friends who are following it non-obsessively but enthusiastically and talk about it amongst themselves thus giving them something to look forward to, and for a hypothetical person who isn’t an alcoholic yet but is on the cusp of becoming one and should know a couple of things before their condition gets worse, and for a hypothetical mentally ill and traumatized teenager who is trying desperately to understand their condition, and for a dozen other hypothetical people whom I don’t know for sure are reading Red Supergiant but whom I know exist because I’ve been them.

#this has been a self related post #gay alien sunday #the teenager isn't really that hypothetical bc i know there's a kid with anxiety reading rsg #but i was specifically thinking abt the way i was back then and how i would've felt if i had smth like rsg #back in my day we didn't have Red Supergiant we had Dust And Guitars which was a story one of my deviantART friends wrote #it was about a mentally ill drug-addicted rock star in the 1960's and it was all very syd barrett #wasn't as awesome as it sounds bc my friend was 16 and only understood a few of the topics firsthand #ever since realizing rsg was going to be a fixture of my life for a while and thus potentially a fixture of other people's #i've imagined my teenage self and my dA friends finding this and getting into it #it would've been the fucking awesomest if i'd had an older queer content-creating mutual #who wrote smth that had the potential to emotionally affect me and impart messages that are good to hear when you're young #addiction in tags /#drugs in tags /

Some recent sketches (mostly Syd Barrett because I can't stop drawing him)

Syd number one (these multicoloured pencils are really perfect for him I think), I like how this one turned out :D

Syd and Roger...

And here I added something to the scrungly Syd I posted some days ago. First I just drew him from the back holding a paintbrush, but then for some reason I imagined him painting the window completely and drew that. I don't know if he had ever done something like that, but I feel like he could have...

And this is my friend's mom, I like sketching other people in real life sometimes (I really need to practice drawing interiors because the perspective's all wonky here)

#my art #fanart #syd barrett #pink floyd #roger waters #sketches #traditional art #I feel like I only draw pink floyd these days #well not only them but a lot of them definitely #their faces are just so addictive that my hands draw them on their own

Psychoanalyst Daniel Levitin Psychoanalyses Dark Side of the Moon on NPR

While limited use of psychedelics can, “in the context of spiritual growth and therapy,” be “positive,” herculean doses such as those taken by Syd Barrett are not.

“But sometimes the ego can dissolve and dissociate, and you become crazy,” neuroscientist and super-Pink Floyd fan Daniel Levitin told NPR’s Leyla Fadel in a discussion of the Dark Side of the Moon’s 50th anniversary, March 1, 2023.

“Syd was unreliable as a bandmate,” Levitin, author of “This is Your Brain on Music,” said.

“He missed gigs. He was paranoid. And on stage, he would sabotage the performances or not play at all. His bandmates tried to get him to a psychiatrist, but he wouldn’t go. And so they kicked him out in 1968.”

Five years later, the band released Dark Side, an album oozing with “themes of madness and alienation,” as Levitin puts it.

“We can’t know for sure which specific lyrics were about Barrett, as opposed, more generally, to mental anguish,” he said. “But listen, the very first thing you hear on the record is that haunting heartbeat and some machine sounds and voices. And I always imagined it as a mental hospital.”

Five decades on, Levitin says Dark Side of the Moon is “a cultural touchstone” - something highly personal to Pink Floyd that’s become universal.

“That final lyric where ‘the sun is eclipsed by the moon - maybe it’s a metaphor,’” he says. “Syd was the sun of the band, the brightest spot. And (Roger) Waters was the moon and overtook him.”

I don't know if it waas just the way I was introduced to them but king crimson is such a wildly unique band. Like Donovan Syd Barrett etc I can't imagine them interacting with people they're just an entity to me. And it's not celebrity worship because I know nothing about any of them besides Tony Levin jorts

The Sadies—Colder Streams (Yep Roc)

Photo by Chris Colohan

Colder Streams by The Sadies

This 11th album from Canada’s pre-eminent bluegrass psychedelicists may well be the last, or at least the last of an era, as it comes five months after the sudden death of the band’s guitarist, songwriter and singer Dallas Good. His passing was a shock to everyone. He was still in his 50s and, except for the pandemic, had shown no signs whatsoever of slowing down. Tall, pale, skeletally thin, inordinately knowledgeable and skilled, yet possessed of a sly, self-deprecating wit, Dallas Good was the heart and soul of this band, and it’s hard to imagine it going on without him.

And yet, if the Sadies had set out to make a final statement—and let’s be clear, they did not—they could hardly have done better than Colder Streams, a swirling, trippy summation of their journey so far. The core band of Dallas, his brother Travis on guitar and assorted other instruments, Sean Dean on bass and Mike Belitsky on drums, has never sounded more freewheeling. Producer Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire brings out the anthemic in their monster choruses. Long-time collaborator Jon Spencer plays the fuzz guitar. Margaret and Bruce Good, who introduced both Good brothers to the speed and sweetness of bluegrass at an early age, sing and play on the two most traditional tracks. We should all get one last blow-out session with the people we love best before we go, and Dallas Good certainly had his.

The Sadies have always straddled at least two very different genres. On the one hand, they embody a gloriously romantic garage psych tradition that stretches from Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd through the surf-guitar-clanging West Coast tradition, skips over the Pacific to hit Aussie bands like the Saints and the Scientists and recurs periodically whenever “Rock Is Back” gets declared. On the other, they are really, really good at the bluegrass, country and blues styles at the root of nearly all popular music. Colder Streams leans decidedly towards the former, in a string of dark-toned, guitar-droning rock songs, including only a couple of country cuts. But things are never so clearly defined. “Message to Belial,” which rocks as hard and as mournfully as any Sadies song, has a radiant little interval of country mandolin picking. And “All the Good,” which ambles and frolics with rustic banjo, has more than a touch of rock swagger to it, in the minor-key resiliency of its chorus. “When I search for answers, questions are all I find,” sings Good, and he and his band are as hard to pin down as the world he tries to parse.

The whole album is great, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would undoubtedly be “No One’s Listening,” a song that rages and wails, with wild flailing guitar lines and raucous drums. There are two guitar solos in this song, one in the middle and one in at the end, and both of them are on fire. Yet, as is often the case with Sadies songs, a gentle melancholy sits at the core. The melody keens and curves with rueful knowledge, as lovely as the smile of a friend who is very, very tired.

You may find yourself with exactly that kind of smile on your face as you listen to Colder Streams, as exhilarating highs crash into bittersweet intervals of contemplation. It’s an album about getting older, about coming to terms, about death even, though not specifically about Dallas Good’s death. It rages against inevitability and croons into the darkness, and it’s beautiful. The story ends for everyone eventually, but very few people make this kind of statement before they go.

Lovable

Pairing: Syd Barrett x Reader

Author’s Note: I never know what to name any secondary characters in these imagines because I never want them to have the same name as you, the reader. Oh well, I guess I’ll just cross my fingers that this is never an issue for anyone. I try to use more obscure and outdated names...

You rushed to the door at the sound of knocking. You already knew who it was. Your best friend Syd had called you earlier, crying and informing you that his girlfriend, Candy, had dumped him.

You had never liked Candy all too much to be honest. It wasn’t because you had been secretly in love with Syd for years either (although you were). No, it was because you had found the girl to be too serious for Syd, always trying to tame his wild and free spirit. But Syd had been so fond of her, so of course you had supported him dating her. And now that they were broken up, you would be there to comfort him.

You opened the door to reveal a red-eyed Syd, sniffling and looking quite miserable. You ushered him inside and immediately enveloped him in a hug.

“Aw Syd,” you said, rubbing his back lightly, “I’m really sorry.”

You led him over to the couch which he crawled on to, grabbing the blanket you kept on top of it, and wrapping it around himself like a cocoon.

“Do you want to talk about it?” you asked, joining him.

He shook his head no and leaned down to rest his head on your shoulder. “I just wanna cuddle and watch the telly if that’s alright with you.”

“Of course,” you said, mentally in love with the idea of just spending some time cuddling the boy you loved and watching shitty daytime television. “Whatever you want to do.”

So, the two of you did just that for a while. You found some corny sitcom to make fun of and Syd rested in your arms, trying to take his mind of off his now ex-girlfriend. Eventually though, a couple hours later, you switched off the TV and turned to face your best friend.

“How about some dinner?” you asked. “We can order takeaway.”

“Okay,” Syd said, agreeing with the idea. “And thanks, by the way.”

“For what?”

“For letting me come over. I really needed this,” he explained. “I needed you.”

You rolled your eyes at him and ruffled his hair teasingly, ignoring the butterflies in your stomach. “Syd, you’re my best friend. You can come over whenever. You know that.”

Syd just looked at you sheepishly and shrugged his shoulders.

You nudged him slightly. “Are you okay?” you asked, tone more serious.

Syd sighed before answering you. “I’m okay,” he said. “It just- it just kinda hurts y’know? Not because I really loved her or anything, I liked her, sure, but because it just makes me feel so unlovable. I mean, everything I did for her, and it was all for nothing. It wasn’t enough. I wasn’t enough. It makes me feel like a failure or, I don’t know, like I’m not worthy of anything good like love and affection.”

“Syd,” you cut in, unable to hear any more of what he had to say. “None of that is true.”

Syd shook his head in silent protest.

“Syd, darling, you are not unlovable,” you said. “Do you hear me? You are worthy of love and affection and all of those good things. Yes, maybe Candy wasn’t the one for you, but that doesn’t mean that you failed in the relationship in any way. I saw how devoted you were to her. Sometimes these things just don’t work out, okay?”

Syd sniffed pathetically. “It’s easy,” he said, “it’s easy for you to say that. You’re my friend. That’s not the kind of love I’m talking about though.”

You felt the beating of your heart increase as his words reached your ears. It was time for you to tell him how you really felt, and you knew it. But knowing that now was the time to do so did not make the matter any less nerve-wracking. You had no idea how Syd would react to you confessing your true feelings towards him.

“Syd,” you started, capturing his attention. His sad brown eyes caught yours and you found yourself remembering every reason you were so infatuated with him.

“Syd, I love you,” you eventually spat out, feeling sick to your stomach the second the words passed your lips. “I love you. I’ve loved you for so long Syd, and I never told you because I was afraid you wouldn’t feel the same. Hell, I’m still afraid of that,” you admitted with a sad laugh. “But you deserve to know. You deserve to know that you are lovable.”

Syd’s eyes never left yours during your long, drawn-out spiel. The eye contact wasn’t broken until you looked away shyly after you’d finished talking.

“You do?” Syd asked. His tone didn’t do anything to give away what he was thinking.

“Yeah,” you responded, focusing diligently on playing with a loose thread on your trousers. “I do.”

The next thing you heard was music to your ears. Syd giggled lightly, a sound you found to be absolutely beautiful. It was a joyous kind of laugh, a noise of relief and excitement.

“I can’t believe it,” Syd said, a huge smile stretched across his face. “I love you, and you love me!” He bounced lightly on the couch and pulled you into a tight embrace. You found yourself giggling along with him albeit you were still a little confused. “This is amazing!” he cheered with glee.

You pulled back from the embrace to look at him again. “You really love me too?” you asked, hesitant to believe him. You hadn’t expected a reaction like this from him. You’d tried to prepare for the worst.

Syd nodded enthusiastically. “Yes,” he said. “I never really allowed myself to think it though. I mean, I thought you could never feel the same and I didn’t want to risk ruining our friendship.” He was talking so animatedly, hands waving around as he spoke.

“That’s why I waited so long to tell you,” you replied, overjoyed at what you were hearing. Syd actually felt the same way.

Syd hummed for a moment, thinking.

“I guess we have a lot of lost time to make up for,” he said. “I’ve been feeling this way for a long time too.” He let out a loud laugh, thinking about how just minutes ago, he’d been moping around thinking about Candy.

“God, I’m such a fool,” he said.

“Yeah,” you agreed. “But you’re my fool now.”

Your smile grew to match his as you leaned forward and captured his lips in a long overdue first kiss.
