im tryin to get a vid of money bein played with the wizard of oz and i cant use youtube. can anybody help me out?

MattSharpIsCool 05-21-2007 11:02 PM

Put the CD in and play the movie?

There are a number of sites on the net that tell you how to sync it up.

rippa32 05-21-2007 11:09 PM

On the MGM lions second roar I think.

last_few_bricks 05-22-2007 09:49 AM

I hate to ask this, but why sync it up with the wizard of oz?

[QUOTE=last_few_bricks;14729452]I hate to ask this, but why sync it up with the wizard of oz?[/QUOTE]

'cos there's this story that gets passed around everywhere that Darkside syncs up perfectly with the Wizard of Oz. If it does it's entirely coincidental, and I'm pretty sure alot of albums could do that with alot of films, Pink Floyd fans are just weird enough to care and discover it.

David Gilmour was interviewed in a show here and was asked about it, he basically wrote it off, he said something like "probably just some student high on too much spliff"

Kage 05-22-2007 12:35 PM

It sucks anyway, a lot of people see something that really isn't there. Are there some cool coincidences? Sure, a few, but overall it's a waste of time unless you really want it to be true badly enough that you'll make it out to be something it's not.

And these things just happen. Dredg fans claim El Cielo syncs up with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Mudvayne's L.D.50 syncs up with 2001: A Space Odyssey, the list goes on. It's just foolishness.

MattSharpIsCool 05-22-2007 09:42 PM

There are a few parts in the sync that are pretty cool, and the music gives a pretty cool feel to the movie, but ya, it's most likely a coincidence. Still kind of fun though, if you've got nothing better to do.

And the Floyd song "Echoes" supposedly matches up with the last part of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I haven't tried that one.

buster_the_dinosaur 05-22-2007 11:19 PM

ive also heard that dark side syncs up with alice in wonderland. now that would take some serious talent, to record an album to sync up with two movies simultaneously

last_few_bricks 05-23-2007 09:44 AM

yeah that would be awesome

RockerGav 05-23-2007 10:27 AM

I think if you play almost any album with almost any given film/TV show there will be enough coincidences for it to seem like its in sync. Especially if you're stoned enough :P Although its not really in sync, watching the simpsons with rap music can be really funny.

Anyway to bring this post back to a Floyd-related theme, I just finished reading Inside Out by Nick Mason, I thought it was a great read with some interesting facts in it, what do you guys think of this book?

Needless to say its made me want to listen to lots of Pink Floyd, unfortunately I don't have any money to expand on my collection right now :( currently I have Dark Side, WYWH, Animals and The Wall, I'm thinking Meddle then Piper next.

[QUOTE]I'm thinking Meddle then Piper next.[/QUOTE]
Good choices, ecspecially Pipers, but Meddle holds it's own to. Pink Floyd made some of their best music in the early days IMO. Try Saucerful of Secrets to, it's pretty damn good. :)

rippa32 05-23-2007 07:03 PM

Ummagumma is also good, some of the studio stuff you may not like but the Live stuff is great.

morrison357 05-23-2007 07:10 PM

Yeah, Ummagumma isn't bad. I'm not to fond of the studio stuff, but the live stuff is pretty damn good, as you said. Their only early album at I don't really care for is Atom Heart Mother. I've just never warmed up to that album, like some of their others.

MattSharpIsCool 05-23-2007 09:11 PM

Meddle isn't really doing it for me anymore. I still love Echoes and Fearless, but the feel of the album overall is just kind of "eh".

robo2448 05-23-2007 10:02 PM

Anyone have Wet Dream by Richard Wright? It's tough to find, but worth it if you can. Good album. My favorite solo effort by a Floyd member by far. All the rest I've heard suck though, so it doesn't have too much to beat.

MattSharpIsCool 05-23-2007 10:11 PM

Ya I've got it on my computer, but I haven't really listened to it too much. I like Rick Wright, so I'd probably like the album if I gave it a listen.

Have you listened to any of Gilmour's solo stuff? I like his a lot more than Roger's stuff.

Leper 05-23-2007 10:43 PM

I haven't listened to any of their solo efforts really. Just songs here and there.

Nobody seems to mention how awesome Obscured by Clouds is.:confused:

Apocalyptic Raids 05-23-2007 10:49 PM

the only Gilmour solo stuff I've got in [I]On An Island[/I], it's pretty good.

MattSharpIsCool 05-23-2007 10:54 PM

OBC is a really good album. I like how completely different it is from any of Floyd's other stuff. It's like a pop-rock album.

Leper 05-23-2007 10:57 PM

That's better. I was wondering where the love was. Definitely a great album though. I love [I]Childhood's End[/I] and [I]Stay.[/I]

MattSharpIsCool 05-23-2007 11:26 PM

Stay was my favorite Floyd song for a while.

I should give OBC a listen. It's been a long time since I listened to the whole thing.

Danger Bird 05-23-2007 11:38 PM

Everybody loves OBC, I remember it was all we talked about for a while.

MattSharpIsCool 05-24-2007 12:03 AM

Yep. Hasn't been mentioned much lately, though.

So I listened to Piper today for the first time in months. That album is really fun to listen to.

MrConeman 05-24-2007 06:56 AM

Currently reading Saucerful of Secrets The Pink Floyd Odyssey. - Nicholas Schaffner.

Good stuff. So far very very based around the early 60's, Floyd establishing themselves, and Syd. I'm enjoying it.

Apocalyptic Raids 05-24-2007 09:48 AM

I've got OBC but I've never paid it much attention.

Lunch 05-24-2007 09:55 AM

Listen to it, it's good

Apocalyptic Raids 05-24-2007 09:58 AM

yeah I should

I'm lazy

Aakon_Keetreh 05-24-2007 10:07 AM

See Emily Play is a great song.

Leper 05-24-2007 12:33 PM

Too lazy to listen to Floyd? You should be ashamed.:mad:

Danger Bird 05-24-2007 05:00 PM

[QUOTE=Aakon_Keetreh;14738237]See Emily Play is a great song.[/QUOTE]

this

MattSharpIsCool 05-24-2007 06:46 PM

Ya I really like most of those early Floyd singles.

Danger Bird 05-24-2007 06:48 PM

Paintbox and Julia Dream are awesome as well. Those are early singles as well, no?

MattSharpIsCool 05-24-2007 07:05 PM

Yessuh they is.

Paintbox is a really cool song.

buster_the_dinosaur 05-24-2007 08:09 PM

yeah i really like rick wrights contributions to pink floyd. hes written some of their coolest songs like remember a day summer of '68 paintbox and he arranged any colour you like. but waters still fired him.

MattSharpIsCool 05-24-2007 08:12 PM

I wish he sang more too. One of my favorite specific "parts" of any Floyd song is his chorus in the song "Time". It's just really cool. And like I said before, "Stay" was my favorite Floyd song for a long time.

Anyone know when his new solo album is coming out? This year sometime, right?

Riva 05-24-2007 10:30 PM

There was also a bit of a division in the band, though. Rick and Gilmour vs Waters with Mason siding with one side or the other. Hence [I]The Division Bell[/I], which I am thinking is more and more of an entire album about Waters, by Wright and Gilmour.

The NPC 05-24-2007 11:29 PM

[QUOTE=Aakon_Keetreh;14738237]See Emily Play is a great song.[/QUOTE]

It's the greatest thing they ever recorded.

last_few_bricks 05-25-2007 06:28 AM

[QUOTE=The NPC;14742077]It's the greatest thing they ever recorded.[/QUOTE]

yeah, it's really good, but the best?

Leper 05-25-2007 12:49 PM

Definitely not.
