"The Vegetable Man 10" Project", as mentioned previously, is now available and includes our sprawling ten-second rendition, along with 59 other mind-numbing interpretations of Syd's swan song with Pink Floyd. hopefully, in our next update, we will have information on purchasing it domestically, for now you can get it directly from the label. thanks again to Pete at drugmusic.com for playing "symptoms alone" as part of his 11/24/03 show. an endless supply of head music awaits you there. check it out... the 10/8/03 show in particular gets a rousing floorian nod of approval. and finally... thanks to the fantastic folks at CD Baby, our "what the buzzing" CD is now a scant click away - at tower.com of all places. we especially get a kick out of the Beatles, Floyd and Hendrix recommendations that pop up on the side of our listing page. however, we were saddened that floorian didn't pop up on their pages. until next time... have a great holiday season! back to current news page
