PERSONAL NOTES From Rosemary Breen (nee Barrett, Roger's sister). Roger (Syd) Barrett was born in Cambridge in 1946. He attended the Boys County High School in Cambridge and following time at The Camberwell School of Art he co-founded The Pink Floyd. He was responsible for writing, recording and producing 2 hit singles (Arnold Layne and See Emily Play), most of the bands first album and some of the second. He was revered as the most gifted Icarus figure and was generally thought to be responsible for introducing psychedelic music to Britain. He lived at No. 6 St Margarets Square from 1981 to 2006. In August 1974, Winifred Barrett, the mother of Roger (Syd) Barrett moved into No. 6. She had previously for 20 years lived in a large family house where she had brought up 5 children, all of whom had left and she "retired" to St Margarets Square. She loved the house with shops nearby and friendly neighbours. She changed very little in the house apart from making a downstairs toilet from an existing pantry and building a lean-to greenhouse on the back of the kitchen. At this time my mother had 8 grandchildren living locally so there were many happy birthday parties and Christmas celebrations. In 1981 Roger returned to Cambridge from London and settled into the smaller back bedroom. After a while it was clear that Roger needed more space and my mother cam to stay with us, initially on a temporary basis that ultimately became permanent. PERSONAL NOTES CONT'D Roger loved the peace and quiet of St Margarets Square, hearing the children in the road playing and enjoying cycling to the local shops. He put his stamp on the house with frequent redecoration, building his own furniture, changing doors etc. In the front room he did his drawing and painting and wrote at length about art history. In the back room he relaxed and enjoyed listening to jazz. Upstairs he slept in all the bedrooms deciding which one as the mood took him. He had plans to use the loft as an art studio but never quite got round to it. The only intrusion to his peace being the occasional visits from fans. He could never understand why strangers wanted his time as the reason for his fame was always a mystery to him. His neighbours were very protective regarding his fan base and would sometimes deny all knowledge of him or even say he lived in the next road. He lived contently like this for 23 years until his death in July 2006. SPECIAL NOTES 1.

Sometimes the rent's a bit late, the dishes pile up, and you run out of clean drawers. And sometimes, you miss your shot at getting /Oli! Tarantula/ bonus tracks. We understand. That's why we're giving you another chance to get the unreleased Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 track, "Embryo Twirl." When you pre-order /Oli! Tarantula/ at the Yep Roc Web Shop, you can download the mp3 version of the song from your Stash right away. You can only get it here and you can only get it for a limited time, so for pete's sake don't make the same mistake twice. [...] *Ole! Tarantula* | Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 10/03/2006 Robyn Hitchcock sought out some old friends to record his new album, Ole! Tarantula, and he found the Venus 3: Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin. By enlisting "3/4s of the Minus 5 and half of R.E.M," Hitchcock has created what he calls, "the rockingest record I've made in years." While the album roars with the garage-fueled energy of his Soft Boys days, Hitchcock's lyricism continues to drive his songs. The New York Times says, "[His songs] bridge the psychedelia of Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett and the archetypal English 'nonsense' of Edward Lear," and Rolling Stone says, "Robyn Hitchcock's songs are a lot like the genetic code: they're tough to crack, but the secret of life is in there somewhere." *PRE-ORDER NOW ;* http://store.yeproc.com/album.php?id=11418 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2006 12:51:18 -0400 From: wojbearpig Subject: Re: embyro twirl download one time at band camp, wojbearpig said: > yep roc is now offering an immediate download of the three tracks from > the pre-order bonus cd, provided you pre-order (or, one assumes, have > pre-ordered) the new album. i take back the assumption. i pre-ordered it earlier and "embryo twirl" is not showing up as a download for me. i'll drop a note to yep roc to inquire about that. also, looks like it's just "embryo twirl" which is being offered as a download, not the two live tracks. woj ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2006 17:16:11 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Rogue's Gallery What the HELL happened to Bryan Ferry???????????
