Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here (Download album, playlist and streaming options)


Pink Floyd s 1975 Classic Album Wish You Were Here
This is a pretty good find...

Listen<--- Plays it on WinAmp or whatever selected default media player is that plays streaming media.

PlayList<--- En-queues onto your current playlist (more on that lower in post).

Download <--- Entire Album - Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (61.1 MB)


This I found doing a Google search for a high bit version of Wish you were here. My burn is only 128kbps and it sounds shitty at that bit rate. The trick I used in this search was the "intitle:index of" search option. This allows you to search content of directories rather than pages. My search was as follows,,, "intitle:index of" PinkFloyd/WishYouWereHere.mp3. From there I found IDK Server [here] and by following the root I found many others posted [here]. In each directory you will find links, follow them and click onto the playlist option and it will add your selection to your existing playlist. You can then save the playlist somewhere and hear it any time you want or even from any other computer as long as there is a media player that wllows streaming media installed. That by the way was the "more on that lower in post" that I mentioned above.

NOTE: Blogger is messing up. I might have to come back to this post later and reformat it.

Sharing some interesting Animated Gifs...

Not much to say except that I have been saving some of these that I consider rather well done and decided to share some. If this post works right then each pic will link back to my Photobucket album containing more and you are welcome to take from there whatever you want. To snag from here just right click on the image and select "save as".

I would have posted more on this post but as it turns out some of these are quite large in file size and I was worried about page loading time. As it is I hope this page doesn't take forever to load. Also some of these are re sized just to fit better on here. If you save anything expect it to either be larger or smaller than as seen in post.

(Film) Fire and Ice by Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta.


Fire and Ice, released in 1983, was a collaboration between Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta, distributed by 20th Century Fox, which also distributed 1977's Wizards. The animated feature, based on characters Bakshi and Frazetta co-created, was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live action and then traced onto animation cels.

The screenplay was written by Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, both of whom had written Conan stories for Marvel Comics. Background painter was James Gurney, the author and artist of the famous Dinotopia illustrated novels. Thomas Kinkade also worked on the backgrounds to various scenes.

Plot:
From their stronghold in Icepeak, the evil Queen Juliana and her son Nekron send forth a wave of glaciers, forcing humanity to retreat south towards the equator. Nekron sends a delegation to King Jarol in Firekeep to request his surrender, but this is a ruse orchestrated by Queen Juliana for Nekron’s sub-humans to kidnap Jarol’s daughter, the barefoot, microkini-wearing Princess Teegra (Queen Juliana feels that Nekron should take a bride to produce an heir). But Teegra makes an escape and comes upon Larn, the only survivor of a village razed by glaciers, who offers to escort her back to Firekeep. As Teegra is recaptured, Larn teams with the mysterious Darkwolf to save Teegra and then travel to Icepeak to stop Juliana. Darkwolf faces Nekron and kills him as Icepeak succumbs to lava released by King Jarol and is destroyed. The film finishes with Larn about to kill a sub-human until Teegra stops him saying that "it's over"; Darkwolf is seen atop a cliff and then disappears. Teegra and Larn kiss as the credits roll.

All of the above was taken from Wikipedia on this page [here] and the following will be taken also from Wiki from their page on Frank Frazetta.

At age eight, Frazetta attended the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts,[4] a small art school run by instructor Michael Falanga. "[H]e didn't teach me anything, really," Frazetta said in 1994. "He'd come and see where I was working, and he might say, 'Very nice, very nice. But perhaps if you did this or that.' But that's about it. We never had any great conversations. He spoke very broken English. He kind of left you on your own. I learned more from my friends there."

In 1944, at age 15, Frazetta, who had "always had this urge to be doing comic books", began working in comics artist Bernard Baily's studio doing pencil clean-ups.[4] His first comic-book work was inking the eight-page story "Snowman", penciled by John Giunta, in the one-shot Tally-Ho Comics, published by Swappers Quarterly and Almanac / Baily Publishing Company. It was not standard practice in comic books during this period to provide complete credits, so a comprehensive listing of Frazetta's work is difficult to ascertain. His next confirmed comics work are two signed penciled-and-inked pieces in Prize Comics' Treasure Comics #7 (July 1946): the four-page "To William Penn founder of Philadelphia..." and the single page "Ahoy! Enemy Ship!", featuring his character Capt. Kidd Jr.

Frazetta was soon drawing comic books in many genres, including Westerns, fantasy, mystery, and historical drama. Some of his earliest work was in funny animal comics, which he signed as "Fritz". In the early 1950s, he worked for EC Comics, National Comics, (including the superhero feature "Shining Knight"), Avon Comics, and several other comic book companies. Much of his work in comic books was done in collaboration with friend Al Williamson and mentor Roy Krenkel.

Noticed because of his work on the Buck Rogers covers for Famous Funnies, Frazetta started working with Al Capp on Capp's comic strip Li'l Abner. Frazetta was also producing his own strip, Johnny Comet at this time, as well as assisting Dan Barry on the Flash Gordon daily strip.He married Massachusetts native Eleanor Kelly in New York City in November 1956. The two would have four children: Frank Jr., Billy, Holly and Heidi.

Born Frank Frazzetta in Brooklyn, New York City, he removed one "z" from his last name early in his career to make his name seem less "clumsy". The only boy among four children, he spent much time with his grandmother, who began encouraging him in art when he was two years old. He recalled in 2010, a month before his death,

"When I drew something, she would be the one to say it was wonderful and would give me a penny to keep going. Sometimes I had nothing left to draw on but toilet paper. As I got older, I started drawing some pretty wild things for my age. I remember the teachers were always mesmerized by what I was doing, so it was hard to learn anything from them. So I went to art school when I was a little kid, and even there the teachers were flipping out"

In 1961, after nine years with Capp, Frazetta returned to comic books. Eventually he joined Harvey Kurtzman on the bawdy parody strip Little Annie Fanny in Playboy magazine.

Plenty more to read on Wiki's page [here], also take a look into some of his other artwork. Some of my favorites were Tarzan, Vampirella and his work in the magazines Creepy, Eerie and Heavy Metal.

I bought almost everything I could find on him for over five years and waited for both this movie and Wizards to come out in the theaters only to find myself doing time during their releases and missing both altogether. I have somewhere around here Wizards and may post it if I ever find it again. Until then Please Enjoy this film and share it with your friends like I have with you.

With FormatFactory you can combine both parts back into one complete file and convert it to almost any format, in any aspect ratio and tweak out some of the settings for sound, like surround for use in a home theater system.

Get VLC Media Player [here] for free to watch seamlessly on a play list just as they are on your PC if you prefer. It is very important for you to only download VLC from the authors site "VideoLan" because there are a few sites out there selling or giving away mock versions of the software just because it is so popular by name.



Cronos (1993) movie link in high quality format.

This is a download link. The movie is found on [this page] on Divx Republic.com's site and the info is from (IMDB) or "The Internet Movie Database" located [here]. You can also click on the poster to get to the film.

The movie is 502 MB in AVI format. You might want to just download it and then watch it or start it and then pause it for about 20 minutes to build up a decent buffer so it won't skip and jump around as you watch it, also it's better to watch if you click the full screen button on the player.


In 1535, an alchemist builds an extraordinary mechanism encapsulated into a small golden device. The invention, designed to convey eternal life to its owner, survives its maker until 1997 when it shows up to an antiquarian. Fascinated with the strange device, Gris (Luppi) doesn't note that there's more than one person looking for it. The promise of eternal life has become an obsession to old and sick Mr. De la Guardia (Brook). He and his nephew (Perlman) will do anything to get the "Chronos Invention". Written by Maximiliano Maza

An aging antique dealer, Jesus Gris, happens upon an elegant mechanized scarab. When opened, it painfully stabs whomever is holding it, but the wound brings youthful vigor and a vampire's need for blood. The device is relentlessly pursued by a dying tycoon, Dieter de la Guardia, whose nephew Angel, reluctant to see his uncle live a moment longer, must still do the old man's bidding. Meanwhile, Gris's desires endanger his own granddaughter, Aurora. Written by jhailey@hotmail.com

This is my Neice and she's beautiful!

I framed it with PaintShop Pro 7.4. I didn't make the frame, I just used it. Sorry didn't fix it like I should have but I still like it and you might too.

I posted it on FaceBook as "Dit is mijn Nichte (Großnichte) Liefde de Gitaar en Zingen de Muziek. ISN sie schön?". Translated it means "This is my niece (Great Niece) Playing the guitar and singing the music. Isn't she beautiful?"

Janis Joplin in reflection...

Seems I'm always missing her. I've never met her but somehow she seems so familiar to me. I guess her beauty will pass through the lives of many in the years to come, just as it has in mine.

As always, click on the pic to see it full size.
