Pink Floyd rocks, Australia gets forgot

Insert Title Here
Dark Side of the Moon
According to Drowned in Sound, Pink Floyd's 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon has now been in the Billboard album charts for 1500 weeks. At first I thought this was consecutively, but it turns out that it has been on and off since 1988. Meaning that between 1973 and 1988, it was on the Billboard charts consecutively. How the hell does that happen? I knew Pink Floyd were popular but that popular? Oh well, congratulations on the feat.




Insert Title Here
Snow Patrol
Pitchfork have announced that both Snow Patrol and We Are Scientists are heading separate tours in promotion of their respective albums. Both will travel around the US, Canada then to England and the UK, though Japan is another stop on the We Are Scientists tour. Both seem to forget that Australia exists, and so I have to wait quite a while before either come out. You can see a review of We Are Scientists here but I'm yet to do one for Snow Patrol's recent album, "Eyes Open." Expect one soon.

Don't know. Pink Floyd are pretty unique in that they have always had a specific group of fans. Even without making new music, they seem to be able to attract new listeners, and I know several people my age who love them, so it isn't hard to believe that people are still buying it. Then again, the chart probably goes up to 1000 and its stayed at spot 999 for the last 25 years.
