While recording "Wish You Were Here", Sid Barrett appeared in the studio, but he was so messed up that Roger and Dave didn't recognize him. ( If you don't know "Wish You Were Here" is dedicated to Sid Barrett. IMO its the best album from Floyd )
actually,i think shine on part 1 was dedicated to barrett. jamhead..are u kidding me, i never thought radiocity wud give some rock trivia
i aint kidding ya...... they did give this piece of trivia.... other things i learnt from radiocity are the 2 meanings of umma-gumma, the name of the female version of woodstock, a lot about dylan's biography, the guy david knopfler has teamed up with, the song where pink floyd used the maximum number of keyboards.,... lots more... i still have e-mails from one of their RJ's in my inbox .....
Yeah....Radiocity used to give loads of Trivia......I remember there used to be this show called "Retro Show" ( 10 PM to mignight ) hosted by Priya Ganapathi I guess.......Used to be really good.....But have heard that the show has stopped now. @Dennis : They say that the entire album "Wish You Were Here" is dedicated to Syd.
Priya Ganapathi really knew her (rock and related) music. As did Sheetal, but she was struck with the afternoon shows that played hindi music (she knew hindi music pretty well too). i also liked a guy called rohit malkhani, who used to do the weekly retro show on sunday evenings, before they made it a daily affair starting from 10 p.m. the rest were somewhere between below average and real bad - jhonsey, santosh, darius and that puky sunaina lal.
jamhead- do they still have this retro show going on? and do post all u know!!! also, cud u just reduce ur signature man, it eats up the whole page. @aleric- then it must be so.
lmao i will reduce or change my signature...... but some other members have signatures about as lengthy. i dunno if the retro show is still on... the rohit malkhani retro show died a quick death.. dunno if priya has stopped comming at 10.00 too. what do i know,.... ummagumma also means " a little bit of the other". i quoted priya here, i am not so sure what its supposed to mean exactly. it so happened that snce a few days before the roger waters concert, 91FM was giving away free tickets to people who could answer difficult questions, and then suddenly there this smart ass dude who after failing to answer the question asked to him (and thus blowing his chance to bag a free ticket) asks one back at priya. "what are the 2 meanings of the name "UMMAGUMMA" ? immedately she replied "the brit school boy's word for secks, and "a little bit of the other" ". i think the 2nd meaning of the word umma-gumma is a sort of "word usage", you know like willy-nilly or itsy bitsy... it probably means something to the effect "a bit of the other side of the story" or something down that line, which would fit rather well, as a title of a floyd album, lol.
