Lovespirals announce their brand new digital-only release, This Truth EP, now on iTunes+, Amazon, and Last.FM. The duo discuss their halt on recording, potentially playing live with Shine and Mr. Meeble, the iTunes 8 Genius function, Anji being “obsessive compulsive” with playlists, Pandora‘s troubles with the Copyright Royalty Board, Blip.FM and it’s similarities to Twitter, being #1 on Below Zero, their Drunk Rockers pix, an encounter with Long Beach City Mayor, Bob Foster, and their thoughts on the recent death of Pink Floyd keyboardist and founding member, Richard Wright. The show closes out with Lovespirals’ cover of Pink Floyd’s 1969 song, “Cymbaline.” You can grab this recording free from the NPF tribute CD: None of Us is Pink. You can buy the original version of the song from the lovely More soundtrack album. BTW, it was mentioned that “Great Gig in the Sky” was originally conceived for the Zabriskie Point Soundtrack, but it turns out that it was actually “Us and Them” Anji was thinking of — another amazing song from Dark Side of the Moon.

Congratulations on your new EP. I’ll be getting that.
Not many musicians’ deaths affect me, but Richard Wright’s did. He will be sorely missed. If you watch David Gilmour’s 2007 work “Remember that Night”, you’ll see him at what could easily be argued the height of his abilities. He knows exactly what to do at exactly the right time without thinking, but is not mechanical and he looks like he’s never enjoyed playing music more than at that moment. That DVD, and David’s companion EP, “Arnold Layne”, which contains a version sung by Richard, have suddenly become a lot more valuable to me, representing as they do virtually the last recorded performance of the great man.
