syd barrett-dark globe

here it is, where half japanes, guided by voices, daniel johnston, sebadoh, etc. began. the most honest recording i've ever heard. it's like he had recording equiptment set up and he woke from a sad dream and described it before it faded from memory. so beautiful. i long to reach this level of purity. this song makes it hard to listen to anything at else.

I love that title.

I think of Syd Barrett as a dadaist lyrically. I don't think he was even trying to make sense. Which is why I like his lyrics. His music is interesting too.
