Hey everyone. I guess this Fall was "my turn in the barrel" as I've had to defend 13 depositions (and counting). I'm currently in a hotel in New England trying to prepare my last two witnesses not to lose our case.
Lifting my spirits is the fact that Pink Floyd dropped 18 live albums today. Or at least I think it was today. For the last 3 years Pink Floyd has dropped a large number of live albums in December. In 2021 it was performances from 1971. In 2022 it was 1972 and this year it's 1973. I'm sure you're seeing a pattern here.
Interestingly, this is related to European copyright law. The EU has a "use it or lose it" provision that provides that if an artist doesn't publish a copyrighted work within 50 years of its creation, the artist loses the copyright. Thus, Pink Floyd has been dropping live albums every December without any fanfare and removing them from streaming services by February.
These albums are from the Dark Side of the Moon era and also contain music from Obscured by Clouds (a very underrated album in my opinion). They also played Echoes at these shows. I'm totally looking forward to listening to 18 different versions of Echoes over the holidays. If you're a fan of Pink Floyd, be sure to check out these albums on your favorite streaming service. At the end of the year I'll have a poll for best performance of Careful with that Axe Eugene.
I was asked if I was available to defend a deposition next week and I told the lawyer that I'm working with that he could go fuck himself if he wanted me to spend another week on the road. We're scheduling the deposition for January.
