I'm surprised this isn't on the sift already. I'm a sucker upvote for any Floyd that makes the sift. Too bad you couldn't find a cleaner version than this one with the writing down the left side. Anyway, the Pulse album & video are great, and this Earl's Court performance was one of a kind.

But 10 minutes says that it's *long

Awesome Henry Earl theme song by The Dangles...

congrats on your bronze crown, mr. earl!

Where's Toe Jam and Earl?? Best co-op game on any platform ever.

For balance, from the PhoenixNewTimes story:
http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/1999-03-25/news/is-john-mccain-a-war-hero/

To say that Earl and Patty Hopper devote all of their waking hours to the POW/MIA issue would be just short of an overstatement. They travel the country in an RV, visiting other POW/MIA-niks, attending conferences, badgering government officials for more information about Earl Jr.

The Hoppers have located two former POWs who claim they were senior ranking officers at the time McCain says he was tortured in solitary confinement. Ted Guy and Gordon "Swede" Larson both tell New Times that while they could not guarantee that McCain was not physically harmed, they doubted it.
"Between the two of us, it's our belief, and to the best of our knowledge, that no prisoner was beaten or harmed physically in that camp [known as "The Plantation"]," Larson says. ". . . My only contention with the McCain deal is that while he was at The Plantation, to the best of my knowledge and Ted's knowledge, he was not physically abused in any way. No one was in that camp. It was the camp that people were released from."

^ Wow that's pretty neat. He does give good James Earl Jones.

yep, looks like the Earl guy to me.....

ok, this guy is creepy, but from my point of view, he's also giving totally wack advice. Way to tell people how to make stewed tea, dude.

I drink a ton of iced tea every day: it is my beverage of choice. I make a very strong pot of earl grey tea using loose leaves, I don't let it brew more than 5 minutes, and I pour it over a full glass of ice. No boiling. No bags. lot's and lot's of expired tea leaves to feed to my compost worms.

No one will ever read this, I suspect. But I've said it, and that pleased me, and as Craig Ferguson says, that's what's important.

Earl grey please!

I was curious, so I went for a walk in Wikipedia:

"In 1969, Pete Townshend, The Who's guitarist, created the band to play songs written by the former Who roadie, drummer / singer John 'Speedy' Keen (miscredited as "Keene" on the single's label). Keen wrote the opening track on The Who Sell Out album, "Armenia City In The Sky". Townshend produced the single, arranged its strings, played its bass guitar under the pseudonym Bijou Drains, and hired for it eccentric GPO engineer and jazz pianist Andy 'Thunderclap' Newman (born Andrew Newman, in 1943) and the fifteen year old Glaswegian Jimmy McCulloch.

Originally titled "Revolution", but later renamed because the Beatles released a single of that name, "Something in the Air" captured post-flower power rebellion, marrying McCulloch's sweeping acoustic and glowing electric guitars, Keen's powerful drumming and yearning falsetto, and Newman's felicitous piano solo.

The single was Number One for three weeks, holding off Elvis Presley in the process. The scale of the song's success surprised everyone, and there were no plans to promote Thunderclap Newman with live performances.

Eventually a line-up, augmented by Jim Pitman-Avory (bassist) and McCulloch's elder brother Jack (drums), played a handful of gigs. Personal records say the band played live only five times, although Keen referred to a two-month tour, playing "everywhere".

"Something in the Air" appeared on the soundtracks of the films The Magic Christian (1969), Almost Famous (2000), The Dish (2000), The Girl Next Door (2004), and The Strawberry Statement (1970); the last having helped the single reach No. 25 in the United States. The song also appeared in the deluxe edition of the Easy Rider CD. In the UK, a follow-up single, "Accidents", came out only in May 1970, and charted at No. 44 only for a week, and an album Hollywood Dream, peaked in Billboard at No. 163. "Something In the Air" played at the end of the 26 March 2007 episode of The Riches on FX. An episode of the television sitcom, My Name is Earl also featured the song.

The members of the band had little in common. Newman once commented, in a 1972 interview with New Musical Express, that he got on with Keen's music but not with him personally, it was a similar case with McCulloch. Two more singles followed before the band split."

I like the urban legend about cops hooking a suspect up to a copying machine. When the suspect made a statement, the cops pressed the button and printed a copy with "HE'S LYING" written on it.


So the poor girl was killed by Jason "My Name Is Earl" Lee?

"Earl Grey, Hot"

That is really cool. The potential for nano machines and manufacturing is truly incredible. Why is it that they always try to clinch the pitch on these newfangleds with "the only byproduct is water"?

Great song, in My Name is Earl...its funny when Randy is singing this.
