Darwin Languishes in Obscurity

Casey Dorrell

Casey - Entertainment Associate Tag
Summary:
The following is a paraphrased account of one woman's quest for obscure uk music.
Cast:
Customer; middle-aged woman, apparent fan of obscure music and perpetual rock-dweller.
J; Music department head, coworker of Casey.

Customer: I was wondering if you could help me.

J: Sure.

Customer: I'm looking for a British band. I've been looking everywhere, really. But, you see, they're really obscure. No one seems to carry them.

J: Try me.

Customer: They're called Pink Floyd.

J: . . .

Customer: Do you know them?

J: Yeah, we have them over here. Were you looking for a particular CD by them?

Customer: No, I don't think so. Was this a movie too?

*customer holds up the Wall*

Upon realization of her apparently long search for the little-known group led by some unknown man named Waters, the woman leaves. Without buying anything.

Download:
Roger Waters - The Bravery of Being Out of Range (Live 2002)
Roger Waters - Shine On You Crazy Diamonds Pt. 1-5 (Live 2002)
Pink Floyd - Breathe (Live 1974)
Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (Dictionaraoke Remix)
Mega Epixness - The Wall Video (A horribly embarrasing butchery by men old enough to know better. Streaming.)

I prefer Luther Wright and the Wrongs's cover version of The Wall--the whole album done country style. Very fine.

Yeah, I was actually thinking about that when I did this post.
