Ep. 156: Floydian Slips

Episode Summary

It’s time again to set the controls for the heart of the sun and celebrate our co-host: Robert Harrison’s birthday! Space out with us as we absorb a collection of songs that evoke the essence and vibes of his favorite band: Pink Floyd. While not obscure at all (they have 2 albums that are diamonds!), we shine on with snippets of similar sounds and themes by somewhat more modern bands from the 90s until today.

Episode Notes

It’s time again to set the controls for the heart of the sun and celebrate our co-host: Robert Harrison’s birthday! Space out with us as we absorb a collection of songs that evoke the essence and vibes of his favorite band: Pink Floyd.

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is usually forced to test his endurance, but this week is all about songs firmly in his big bang zone. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, even with this collection of great dance songs sounding similar to one of the biggest selling rock acts of all time.

Songs this week include:

  1. The McBroom Sisters – “What Do You Want From Me”from Black Floyd(2020)
  2. Porcupine Tree – “The Jokes On You” from Up The Down Stair (1993) 
  3. King Buffalo – “Mammoth” from Regenerator (2022)
  4. RPWL – “Masters Of War” from The RPWL Experience (2008)
  5. Thee Oh Sees – “Carrion Crawler” from Carrion Crawler / The Dream (2011)
  6. North Atlantic Oscillation – “Ceiling Poem” from Grappling Hooks (2010)
  7. Anathema – “Your Possible Pasts / Goodbye Cruel World” from Alternative 4 (1998)
