The Flaming Lips' Dark Side of the Moon

Holy crap I finally got another review posted.

I apologise again for being so slack. I have a few ideas for posts but mainly my grand designs have been my own undoing, as I keep putting them off. Expect some good ol fashioned reviews and short, absent-minded rants in future, like normal.
As I mention in the review, I am shamefully unaware of the Dark Side of the Moon album and most of the body of Pink Floyd's work. All I really know about them, from an erstwhile boyfriend who was a genuine fan, is that their name comes form the lead singer flicking through his jazz records looking for a name and coming across the words 'pink' and 'floyd'. I would say there is a high incidence of the name 'floyd' in the genre of jazz, but that's another black hole in my knowledge so maybe I won't. I also know the song 'Money' inspired the opening of crazily kitsch 70s-80s sitcom Are You Being Served? Or possibly the other way around... My research tells me DSotM was '73 and AYBS was '72 so it must be the other way around. Ahhh nostalgia time....
