So this is what you come up with when you smoke too much pot in college:

Pink Floyd's "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" (ca. 1968_1969): A Study of Genre, Texture, Medium, and Structure
John Cotner (University of Wisconsin at Madison)

In Rocking the Classics: English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture (1997) the musicologist Edward Macan distinguishes three waves of English progressive rock. In particular, the third wave is characterized by a group of three "subgenres." Macan names The Nice and Pink Floyd as two English progressive rock bands that experimented extensively with these subgenres. Yet he does not account for a subgenre particular to Pink Floyd's output-what I call "tone-fantasies"-which is further distinguished at the level of the idiolect as (1) instrumental, (2) quasi-instrumental, or (3) lyric-instrumental. For the purpose of this study I will put forth an interpretation of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" (B-side from the 1968 single), which I consider to be their most noteworthy quasi-instrumental tone-fantasy. Additionally, I will compare the studio version with the commercially standardized live recording from the double LP Ummagumma (1969).

First, I will analyze structural and non-structural, pitched and non-pitched aspects of both live and studio recordings, applying quantitative and qualitative models based on the methods of Wallace Berry (1976), the rhythmic-durational ideas of Eytan Agmon (1997), and others. Second, I will suggest several transcriptive methods for plotting aspects of the recording mix in relation to corresponding musical parameters. Third, based on the analyses, I will propose a theory of texture specific to the work; one which addresses the interaction between aspects of sound recording, musical structure and material variation, concert and studio performance contexts, timbre and sound, and extramusical associations.

Broadly, I argue that the 1968 studio single of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" represents the successful convergence of particular improvisational idioms and conceptual strategies the group had begun to develop in their first two albums. More to the point, the studio track manifests a vital structural-textural rhythm, perception of which suggests a multidimensional sonic-experiential macrocosm: on one plane, a kind of heterophonic textural "infrastructure," while on the other, a kind of stereophonic space of affective depth. Within this distinction, aspects of the musical language and recording medium continually transform the sonic environment and engage the listener in the process of its experiential unfolding.

In other words... you got away with submitting a paper based on pharmacological experiments while listening to Pink Floyd .....

COOL!!!!

People on 'ludes should NOT write muzak.....

[Special K]

Just FYI.....Mike Mueller got arrested at work today (#4 again?), and his wife Sherryl is trying to figure out how to get him out. $50,000 bond.....anyone familiar with CA's bond system?

[Joe Bob]

Yup....$$$$$ plus collateral.

[Special K]

I don't know how it works out there, but when I had to bail out my neighbor for growing weed in his backyard (rocket scientist), it was 10% ($5000) of the actual bond amount.....same there?

[trojanman]

your neighbor, riiiiiight.

i posted the name of a bondsman in that other thread. he's a good guy and can help. are we sure it is #4 related?
crappy thing to be happening right now. especially when everyone thought that was over with last year.

[Special K]

It was....It was....I swear!

The D*mbass had a 10' plant in his backyard....no biggie if the "locals" had caught him (small town), but the "county boys" nabbed him first.

I can't confirm, or deny that it has anything to do with #4, it was just mentioned in the post.

[trojanman]

i bet you were pissed when your "neighbor" got caught.

[Joe Bob]

Cash of 50K or 10% which you never see again plus collateral. The cash...if you use that option will be returned at the end of the case...of course any interest is lost....

I think you can pledge stocks, bonds, IRAs etc.....depends on the bondsman...which I would only use if I had no assets...and the court.

Not really....it was a male plant (more like a small tree) that wasn't good for anything but making rope.

I'm definitely going to have to post a pic of this guy....picture this: 600+ lbs., sports a Mohawk, rides a Harley, his favorite "term of endearment" for his ole lady is "Gash", tells her "she'll have to lose some weight if she wants to ride on his scooter", and BBQ's on his front porch wearing nothing but a old pair of cut off sweat pants.......very attractive (insert barf smilie here).......helluva a nice guy though.

[Joe Bob]

Oh BTW....the 600 lb guy?

Not me....
