Bickering, pointless rock penises – Pink Floyd – are complaining and moaning again. Despite being wealthy enough to buy several moons, they’ve been in a legal battle with EMI, only to sign-up with them again once they’d finished folding their collective arms and pouting so much that every surviving member now has pulled muscles in their many chins.
If you didn’t know, Pink Floyd have been in a legal battle with EMI and recently won a court ruling over a deal signed in the pre-download age regarding digital sales.
That’s really interesting isn’t it?
EMI, really doling out the excitement, said:
“All legal disputes between the band and the company have been settled as a result of this new deal”
Whooooop! Pink Floyd, who have sold more than 200 million albums, mainly thanks to people being curious about whether Dark Side Of The Moon is actually as good as Best Albums Ever Made polls claim (it isn’t), have been with EMI since the ’60s and have now signed a new deal which will last for a further 5 years.
In that time, they’ll release precisely zero albums and call each other horrible names on a weekly basis, until one of them dies prematurely, leaving them to make tributes about each other, saying “wish we’d never argued in the first place! How short and cruel life is!”
Of course, even though they’ve signed up with EMI again, they’re still sulking about it.
Acts like The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Queen and Radiohead have all left the label since it was taken over by Terra Firma who, in fairness, seem like a bunch of shark headed bastards.
Nick Mason told the BBC that he was “very fond” of EMI didn’t like “the gang known as ‘business affairs’ [who] have taken over the running of the company”.
“I look back with considerable fondness to the days when it was the entrepreneurs and individuals who actually ran these companies and created something that was about the music”
And let bands get away with releasing overly long stoner boner-fests like ‘Ummagumma’ or allow bands to write half baked lyrics like “bus stop rat bag ha ha“.
Announcing the new deal, EMI chief executive Roger Faxon shouted over the fleet of revving vintage sports cars, all set off by the surly surviving members of The Floyd:
“Pink Floyd are one of the most important and influential bands of all time and I know I speak for everyone at EMI when I say that it is a privilege to have the opportunity to work with them.”
Whether Roger Faxon likes Syd-era Floyd the best is still unclear, but chances are, no-one gives two shits. So that’d be that then.

Whoooops, someone hired an idiot…Are u a reporter or just a spouting little fagot? Do u know that is actually possible to announce what is going on in the music world without making yourself sound like a whiny little prick? I guess u don’t…The band Pink Floyd has been making albums that have been enjoyed and LOVED by people longer than you have been wiping your ass and printing the results. If there is anyone in charge of this website/joke, make sure u let people know that this page is less credible than The Onion, and more hateful than those stupid, petty, people you realized were a waste of your time back in high school. Grow up Mof…write something to show SOME intelligence, not your stupidities. This isn’t even heckling or gossip, it’s a personal, hateful attack by someone who probably just needs sleep, or a baby bottle, or a changing. Someone please put send mof out to get coffee, leave the adults to do thier work. What would someone like mof listen to? Hmm, the (n)ever-inteligent rap? As for Dark Side of The Moon…the proof is in the numbers…idiot…

Me & ‘Gdadof2’ love a good joke. I wonder how far below The Onion HS is in the credibility stakes…
John Citizen says
why don’t you suck my dick ‘Gdadof2’ and write about that? See who’s better in the journalistic stakes then. For a supposed father of 2 you’re fairly whiney and immature. Guess that’s how it is these days.
Onya Mof!
Gdadof2 says
Are u are homosexual, John? Sorry, I’m not into guys…and u can’t even keep up with the topic…just spouting off…, wait, I SEE NOW, U AND THE ‘journalist’ u seem to admire have that gay thing going on…so i guess that makes u BOTH SPOUTING FAGOTS!…and it’s funny because i have nothing against a gay person, but FAGOTS aren’t even liked by most gay people (always bitchin without anything intelligent to say, DUH)…So I guesss u and the person who wrote this are of the same, ahem, ‘mind’…but u two enjoy your dick-sucking fest…I like women…by the way Mr-less-than-average-Citizen, neither you nor your mofo Mof has said anything intelligent about music, YET…so it seems like you two really deserve each other…Me I know how to appreciate good music as well as good women…And, when u start a paragraph, at least capitalize the first letter… show some sign of intelligence in your retort…I mean, this should be about music, right? You just sound like I pissed off your lover and u r defending him. See we got sidetracked…digressed, if you will…but enough of your silliness, this was about MUSIC…as for the writing, I do believe level of inteligent reading content on this page would put me at the top, followed by Mof, then Michael…U just don’t bring anything to the table, John Shitizen…see that is writing…and, grammatically, I like run-ons (look it up John)…
