dark side of the rainbow
1have you heard of The Wizard of Oz (WOZ)?
have you heard of Dark Side of the Moon (DSOM)?
have you heard of the connection?
It is said that if you play the album with the movie (sound off) they are in sync.
however DSOM, was written 30 days after WOZ, before VHS or any home video system.
TL;DR Dorothy dances to Pink Floyd when the stars align

@narfcake this is very nice, any idea if these are decent quality shirts? how is the sizing? i’m trying to decide if i just buy one for myself, or go for Nativity gifts for the whole fams…
@DMlivezey Unless it’s something that’s bound to be cut up, I spend the extra $3 for American Apparel. They start out longer and shrink less, are softer and stays softer, and USA made. And they don’t pinch my armpits.
Check the sizing charts. If you’ve purchased any of the shirts here, they’ll be sized like that.
@narfcake so you can choose wat t-shirt the image goes on? is that what you mean when you said you spend the extra?
@DMlivezey Shirt.woot uses blanks from two different manufacturers - Anvil and American Apparel. For more info, read this thread:

If you haven’t seen it, here’s Dark Side of The Force Awakens:
@Pavlov so george lucas, or stephen speilberg, or whoever wrote that script went for the double whammy and made the movie line up with the album, is that it?
much less impressive since we have computers and the internets and stuff, but still not bad for some old guys.
@DMlivezey DSotM will line up with most anything. The effect is better when one is stoned.
Not sure if OP is trolling . . .
@Pavlov ok, i’m gunna test that iyr
TIL: Dark Side of the Moon was written before Roger Waters was born.
@nadroj nope, i just can’t buy that, but i did hear that dorothy and the tin man had a love child and they named her pink, but she’s just Missundaztood
I need to dig through my DVD archive…some time back I found it online, and burned it to a disc…don’t know if I still have it…
Speaking of Oz for those of you within 100mi of Boone NC

I heard this long ago and tried it then, with great expectations. As much as I love the album, the alleged synchronicity with TWOO was unimpressive. Meh. I’d rather listen to the album and watch something I really enjoy.
@joelmw the mood switching on movie and album song cuts is the best part for me, but yea you can probably through on monty python’s Holy Grail and find some synchronicity too…
Its worth watching just for the great gig in the sky part when the house is flying.
@jkump150 yes, she falls into the dream just as the mood of the music switches, thanks for posting
I was just telling 14yo daughter about this the other day!
She’s finally traded in her once beloved “One Direction Fandom” (shiver), for the likes of Weezer, Pink Floyd, & Nirvana (HAAAALLELUJAH!) - and while I made sure to leave out a few of the curious details about my own… uhhh… “journey to the dark side of the moon”, it was so cool to share with her one of the first little pieces of magic that inspired me so much when I was her age
TL;DR
Pink Floyd - So music. Very inspire. Much wow.
