Word comes of the death of Syd Barrett, which makes me feel quite sad.
I had been thinking about a post on the 150th birthday of Nicola Tesla, which was in fact yesterday, but I only got around to noticing this morning.
It was odd to see that it was a Tesla anniversary, as I had been listening to a song from the new Handsome Family album called "Tesla's Hotel Room."
Playing the song again somehow makes me think of Syd Barrett - the lost forgotten genius fading away while his former collaborators find success and glory.
You can hear the song as a real audio file here (scroll down quite a ways), if you are so inclined.
