Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1965. The original members were Nick Mason, Rick Wright, Roger Waters, and Syd Barrett. Dave Gilmour joined the band in 1967.
Syd Barrett left Pink Floyd in 1968 due to mental health issues. The song featured in this post, "Wish You Were Here," was written in honor of Syd.
Pink Floyd had some instances of creative differences over time. Rick Wright left the band in 1979. Wright then rejoined the band as a paid session musician.
Roger Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985. He and the other members of Pink Floyd reunited in 2005 for a performance at Live 8.
Syd Barrett died on July 7, 2006 from pancreatic cancer.

Protomen: Father of Death

Finally--the Beat is Back!

Khel 666 Kidz, we got the Tunes! Going with a little experimental/alternative/progressive. Hating this mixed state that I'm in, but maybe you'll like the mix that I play.

Follow our blog or our Facebook page, if you care to.

I also have rapid cycling type II bipolar, in case anyone wondered. The mixed state was triggered by a mix of emotions that I would have trouble explaining, because people would tell me "just don't feel that way."

Prog Metal Time

All right Krispy Kritters, we haven't had any Prog Metal on KHEL 666 in a while, so it's up to me to remedy that situation.

Follow us on our blog or Facebook page if that feels like your kind of thing.
