Half Drunk Limo Driver

I was going to save this one for a special occasion, and a special occasion has arrived. To honor the death of Syd Barrett, the PubSigs present to you Half Drunk Limo Driver.
Syd Barrett was one weird dude, and Half Drunk Limo Driver is probably the weirdest song that the PubSigs have ever recorded. Nothing about this song was planned; in fact the entire song is completely improvised– one take inlcuding the vocals. This recording captures the first and last time the song was ever played. We think that Syd would have wanted it that way.

Its not that we didn’t want to play it more that once……
The moment it was recorded was some magical convergence of time, space and musical vibrations that would not be able to be reproduced anywhere else at any other time. We had plenty of other songs that we played live that were NOT recorded that could might have been just as good.
I am just thankful that Steve remembered to push “Record” before we started playing……..

You know its a lot better to be a “space-driver” than a car driver. Here at least you know a drunk driver will be booked! Here these guys are regularly getting high in spirits .. and HIGH in space!!Read this: Drunk Drivers now on space!!

Are you suggesting that the PubSigs get back together for a sequel to “Half-drunk Limo Driver”? Maybe it could be called “Half-drunk Shuttle Flying Diaper Wearing Psycho Bitch Astronauts”?
These things just write themselves……
