Sir Creep 7,012 Posted December 31, 2018 That's cuz Fixed Business's post doesn't have Taylor's name in the text, only in an image containing text. It's a crime we need to stop lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,012 Posted January 1, 2019 I"m sorry did I miss a related Pink Floyd death last year? What -- cover artist or summat? If a sound engineer died I've forgotten. Some good tunes there though, a few DO remind me that we lost someone from the band (e.g. Shocking Blue) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some good tunes there though, a few DO remind me that we lost someone from the band (e.g. Shocking Blue) Stephen Hawking - guest vocalist on Floyd's Endless River album. It was either that or play the Carl Sagan single with Stevo giving it some guest vocal (and we've done that track to death over the years) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,013 Posted January 2, 2019 Had totally forgotten that Dean Ford was once a gay lord Incidentally Ford was a recoving alchie so should - maybe - have been on our radar hereabouts. His Wiki page mentions fundraising for Frankie Miller who's had a brain haemorrage. Anyone know his health status cos he's obitable for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
