Look If I Was Steve O Rourke I Would Be Tormenting The Four Of Them Back. Oh You Pissed Me Off Because

The track ‘In The Flesh’ invites the audience to “go to the show” - to come along to the rally and show support before forces mobilise and foment a violent uprising across the streets of London. The band onstage, characterised in live performances of the album by a surrogate band comprised of different musicians adorning life masks of Floyd members Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason, replace a Pink that remains ‘comfortably numb’ in his hotel room:

“I've got some bad news for you, sunshine

Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel

And they've sent us along as a surrogate band

We're gonna find out where you fans really stand!”

This uncanny representation of band members is understood to represent the musicians’ surrogacy as agents of ideological repression, insofar as they serve to perpetuate the dominant ideology while also acting as a form of entertainment to keep the subjects enthralled and entertained while, ‘behind the scenes,’ they are in fact complacent in their own oppression through ignorance and acceptance. Taking into account Freud's psychoanalytic consideration of the role of the uncanny, it is recognised that an intentional feeling of discomfort and unfamiliarity actively subverts and disrupts the individual’s understanding of the reality around them. The use of these masks can also be understood to comment on the role of the musician in a capitalist society - by portraying the band members as masked and interchangeable, Waters suggests that musicians are often recognised to be commodified tools of an industry which promotes capitalist ideals of excess and grandeur.

kind of an aesthetic mess but whatever

“I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman. And I won’t be classified as just a man.”

Oh and I had this experience, believe me it's indescribably pleasant, recommended and more than once

I nervously wait for the moment when I run into some older guy who judges me on my appearance and for my love of Pink Floyd. "Oh you like Pink Floyd, do ya!? Name one song that isn't from The Dark Side of The Moon. Bet you can't."

And then I just hit him with this absolute banger from Ummagumma that I truly love: "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" and then I proudly cross my arms and go "hmph" smugly.

But I am nervous because while my autism knows it, my ADHD dictates that we 1. never remember from which album this comes from off the bat as, for me, Ummagumma, A Saucerful of Secrets, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and sometimes Atom Heart Mother tend to blur together which makes me have to dig through the albums to find where it is. And 2. the name of that song is about as ridiculous as the song itself and I can't remember all of that LMAO.

Anyway, you all should give it a listen for a good laugh. It is pretty avant-garde, Waters. LOL

Yes, I gave up drawing a little – my friend dragged me into the Sims 4. Now we are playing with a strange collaboration between Astarion and Roger. Smoking student musicians who are trying to survive for a salary of 100 simoleons per day.
