Some band breakups are more acrimonious than others. While some splits are rife with bitterness and lawsuits, others are just cases of musicians going their separate ways, amicably. We always wonder what the chances of our favorite groups getting back together are; The Eagles famously said they’d reconvene when hell freezes over; then they reunited. [...]

Pink Floyd Laser Light Yoga Is Now a Thing That Happens

Jeff Giles — Thu, 09 May 2013 19:25:30 +0000

During our wild, misspent youth, many of us took in the occasional Pink Floyd laser light show. Now that we’re older, wiser, and (thanks partly to those laser-induced munchies) a little fatter, maybe it’s time to give Pink Floyd laser light yoga a try.

40 Years Ago: Pink Floyd Release 'The Dark Side of the Moon'

Michael Gallucci — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 14:00:21 +0000

The numbers attached to ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ are pretty impressive. More than 50 million copies sold worldwide. Fifteen straight years on Billboard’s album chart.
