unusu-al's definitions
a modern (early 1900s) music style characterized by syncopation and dissonance.
contrary to popular belief, jazz is NOT playing any note with any chord. any note played with any chord can be explained. even if it is inexplicable, it just sounds good, which is what's really important.
the cool thing about jazz is that you learn all the rules and guidelines which apply to all the other genres...then you get to break them.

Get the satmug. probably the most neglected pink floyd guy besides nick mason (the drummer who doesn't write many songs on the albums i have).
syd helped start pink floyd. he was a brilliant guitarist and was very experimental about many things - playing techniques, lighting, effect pedals, and, unfortunately, drugs.
syd had a mental disability (schizophrenia?) and acid only made things worse. by the time he was released from the band, he was not able to interact with the group anymore. for example, he wouldn't sing the same words or play the same riff more than once.
syd was gradually replaced by david gilmour (around the 1968 album "ummagumma"). he has been recently diagnosed as diabetic, but otherwise he is doing fine, having a bonfire now and then in the garden, and painting from time to time.

Get the syd barrettmug. there are 2 classifications of hacker. the first is one who is innocent in his/her actions - not really destroying computers, but rather just having an extreme interest in computers. the second kind is malicious and likes to attack poor, harmless computers.

Get the nerdmug. a very unique flightless(?) bird that lives mainly in the poles, but also in the galapagos. they like to eat fish. penguins are renowned for being adorable.
penguins make bizaare sounds. imagine a kazoo - thats the closest thing to it.
tux, a goofy looking penguin, is the linux mascot. usually different distros of linux have their own modified picture of tux.
