    Post-Roger Waters Pink Floyd? Really?

    I have that Sceamadelica one as a red, long sleeved t-shirt, still intact 15 years after they played Montreal. My friend and I blagged our way onto the tour bus before the show, but Primal Scream were not too impressed with the teeny little hash joint we offered up – they asked if we knew where to get any methadone.

      I have that perfectly preserved long-sleeved t-shirt, too, but mine's in black… A friend and I hung around after their show in Philly. Bobby came up to me at the bar and said "Sae whaat's yer name, I'm Boabby" and then attempted to suck my face off. He was so spectacularly wasted that I think I sped off his spit for a good two days after. Yikes.

        Ae, at Club Soda Bobby spent the whole show sitting on the stage, looking like death warmed slightly over. He did somehow manage to sing o.k though… holy fuck CBC news just said that balloon boy has been found alive, in the attic!

    PS I'm surprised none of Peter Saville's stuff for Factory Records is represented – Unknown Pleasures is certainly an iconic album cover.

    what about the albums they *aren't* making into stamps?

    What's an "album?" What's a "stamp?"

    Maybe I should Twitter and ask someone older.

  7. Lionel Mandrake [#704]

    What about all that great 4AD stuff?

  8. Dr. Spaceman [#1211]

    Nevermind this bollocks, where's the Sex Pistols?

  9. Flashman [#418]

    That Led Zeppelin cover is alright, but compared to like II or Physical Graffiti, it's only zoso.

  10. NotAndersonCooper [#158]

    Yay. The Clash! Workin for the Stampdown.

    I just noticed who's missing: The Beatles.

    Curious.

    Well done, royal mail-making-happen people, but when do I get to lick Jarvis?
