Syd Barrett, The Pink Floyd's original Madcap, has bought the farm.

SB: "Effervescing Elephant"

PS: I totally beat Pitchfork to the punch. But I've heard they have a larger readership. ;)

In happier news, the prescription inhalant my MD gave me yesterday has already started to work. Which means no more bitching about my ear. Well, for now, anyway.

Also, be sure to go see Jolie Holland at Higher Ground on Thursday. And read my article about her in tomorrow's issue.

After Holland's set, you can go to Metronome to see The Hero Cycle and Fire the Cannons kick off their tour.
