Floydian Slip’s Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios #6: Website v.2

Posted March 14, 2015 by Floydian Slip

As we lead up to “Floydian Slip” Show #1,000 the week of June 8, we’re digging into the archives to share relics from the show’s past.

The “Floydian Slip” website launched in 1995, first as a sub-page of my “personal home page,” before it moved to its own domain in ’96.

This screengrab shows the site’s second incarnation from ’98.

It was early in the life of the Internet. Between the website; my posts on Echoes, the Pink Floyd listserv; and on a handful of Floyd newsgroups on Usenet, there were many (many) more people in the world who knew about “Floydian Slip” than could actually listen.

You can see from this screengrab, the show was still on a single stand-alone station: WCPV 101.3 FM in Burlington, Vt.

Floydian Slip’s Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios #5: Astoria CD

Posted March 7, 2015 by Floydian Slip

As we lead up to “Floydian Slip” Show #1,000 the week of June 8, we’re digging into the archives to share relics from the show’s past.

In late 2000, long-time Pink Floyd recording engineer Andy Jackson was releasing his “Obvious” album, and joined us on the show for a chat.

For the sake of audio fidelity — this was before the days of Skype — he offered to record his end of our telephone conversation while he talked in his home studio in the U.K. A few days later he dropped by Astoria, David Gilmour‘s houseboat studio, burned the audio onto a CD, and mailed it to me in the United States.

Safe to say, that CD remains the most unique compact disc in my collection. I presume the handwriting on the disc is Andy’s.

You can hear that interview and read a transcript at floydianslip.com.
