Dark side of the moon

So I go to the used game store, and bought Ooga Booga and Sega Rally 2 for the Dreamcast. Right near there is a place called "fye" that sells CDs and DVDs. The store is huge. There used to be one in the Salem Center mall, but it closed for no apparent reason, so the only one left is on Lancaster Drive. While there, I ran into a complete Dark Side of the Moon cover by the Flaming Lips. On it also is Henry Rollins, Peaches, Stardeath and the White Dwarfs. Since I am a Pink Floyd fan, I pick it up, expecting it to sound at least close to the original. Nope, although I do like it even though it doesn't sound anything at all like the original (I like the original better, though.) Looking through my CDs of songs I have recorded, came across a cover I did of Brain Damage (that's almost 24 minutes long, btw), which led me to an idea: I will do a cover of the whole album just like they did, just by me and my lil' ol keyboard. Luckily for me, I found the original CD liner notes of the Pink Floyd album which has the lyrics to all the songs in it (better not lose it!) So I saw a music sheet book of Dark Side of the Moon a few years ago that I will search for again (Shoulda bought it when I saw it!) And since the length of a CD is longer than a vinyl record (what they had in 1973 when Pink Floyd originally released it), it will allow me to do more experimental stuff with the songs on the album (although Brain Damage isn't going to be 24 minutes again.) The CD I got was new, which surprised me because most of their stuff is used. Well, anyway, since I figured out the notes to Brain Damage already, I'll do that one first, and then do the rest around it.
