S4E189 - Syd Barrett 'The Madcap Laughs' with Corey duBrowa
We discuss Syd Barrett's "The Madcap Laughs", a wonderfully inventive - though at times hard to listen to - document of a gentle artist whose recent ouster from soon-to-be-huge Pink Floyd loomed large.
A music journalist for two decades with more than a thousand bylines in publications ranging from Rolling Stone to Paste Magazine to GQ, this week's guest Corey duBrowa knows a compelling music story when he hears it. On both a musical and lyrical level, Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett's "The Madcap Laughs" is a wonderfully inventive - though at times hard to listen to - document of a gentle artist whose recent ouster from soon-to-be-huge Pink Floyd loomed large.
