The madness comes in for a landing with this, the tenth episode of Regarding Roger. Masters of Digression Chaz and Wolfie go all out in this drain-bamaged diversionary listen-through of the epic classic rock radio track Eclipse, the last track on Dark Side of the Moon. Redux follows suit, and thus we conclude the heavy lifting of season two, listening to Dark Side of The Moon Redux for the listener, so the listener doesn’t have to.
Join our hosts as they meander through Spotify rankings of Pink Floyd versus so many other artists we forget how many are covered. Chaz raves on and on about Live From Daryl’s House, the internet show of Daryl Hall, and convinces Wolfie to get hooked in with Daryl and his friends like Smokey Robinson, Sammy Hagar, Allen Stone, Fitz and the Tantrums, Tommy Shaw, Rick Nielson, Kenny Loggins, CeeLo Greene, Darius Rucker, Train, Rob Thomas, Joe Walsh, Howard Jones, Chromeo, KT Tunstall, Ben Folds, Grace Potter, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Toots and the Maytals, Nick Lowe, the Bacon Brothers…and so many more. Wax nostalgic with Chaz about having Kyra Sedgwick walk across his blanket at a Bacon Brothers concert. Ah, the memories.
And yes, we get back to listening to the redux version of Eclipse. We wrap up this listen season with comparisons to season one, what Lulu had going for it that Dark Side of the Moon Redux did not. If there had been more coverage, better press, more content, and greater context shared by the artist would it have been better received? If Roger hadn’t tried to sing, if he hadn’t added poetry and voiceovers, would it still be something you can listen to? The main question persists…why Roger, why?
When the hosts start pining for the improvisational stylings of Metallica and Lou Reed, you know it’s about time to wrap it up. Rather, the guys draw it out, going further out on a Rocket to Uranus than they ever have before. New heights in digressionary diversion and pointless nonsense, this episode really captures the essence of our final adjudication of Dark Side of the Moon Redux. Hearing Eclipse delivered with a James Hetfield staccato is worth the price of admission alone.
We wrap it up with a bow – here’s the message: life ain’t all dark. That’s the big epiphany of this album – that and we’ve determined that the answer to life, the universe and everything really is 42. Thanks, Roger, here’s your towel. Now…what would Daryl do? Roger – listen to Daryl, he is the king of Redux. Find out for yourself – tune in at Live From Daryl’s House.
🎸As always, Chaz & Wolfie listen so you don't have to. They're on the case digging into the what of this why...wtf?? Always offering their unique, boneless insights, as only they can. And you know, the Regarding...Series of mini-podcasts is not political, not correct, and you're lucky we use spell-check. When facts don't matter and feuds matter less, we go into what we know and what we can google about each song from Dark Side of the Moon, then and redux, one track at a time, in a compare and contrast format. Each show we'll listen to the original, and how he butchered it with his new version. Er...we mean, the new additive interpretation work by Mr. Waters...no bias here.
