Lately, I've been picking up the guitar. I've started taking a lesson once every two weeks. I'm really enjoying it. I played piano before, but this gives me something new. I can apply a lot of the theory I learned on the piano to the guitar, it's only a matter of learning where the notes are and guitar-specific stuff. Right now I'm working on Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and Hotel California by The Eagles. These are two great songs. I'd have to put Wish You Were Here high up on my favorites list. The dueling guitars at the beginning with the solo over the riff is incredibly powerful. It has great lyrics too.

I picked up the Pink Floyd ablum Animals. What an amazing album. Nobody makes that kind of music anymore. The idea of a concept album is essentially dead, its too bad.

From what I've read about it and what I've interpreted I think this album compares various animals (Dogs, Pigs and Sheep) to different human behaviors in society. The dogs are greedy and money-centred, the Pigs are self-centred, ignorant and arrogant people who over indulge in society, finally the Sheep are the ignorant, passive and uninterested followers.

Yet another masterpiece to add to my Floyd collection.
