As we lead up to “Floydian Slip” Show #1,000 the week of June 8, we’re digging into the archives to share relics from the show’s past.
The “Floydian Slip” website was one of the first Pink Floyd resources on the web. We went online in 1995 as a subpage of my personal home page “The Poor House,” and then moved to floydianslip.com in Autumn ’96.
Over the years, we’ve re-built the site four times for a total of five fundamental designs.
This one here is probably the site’s most short-lived: It was only online from October 2000 to April 2001.
I believe that your website SHOULD be relaunched. With the phenomenal Zeitgeist that Roger Water’s “The Wall Live”, and David Gilmour’s, “On an Island” were; and given as powerful as the subsequent media and fan frenzies over both of these shows were, suggests that a re-launch should be strongly implemented.
I know that no web site launch is written in stone, but with advertising backing and design partnering, with Hypgnosis, Gerald Scarfe, the estate of Storm Thurgenson, and even the estates of Richard Wright, and Syd Barrett; the new website could be a phenomenal success for all involved. Although this is a pricey and slippery slope suggestion; I truly stand firm in my positive attitude because, not only has YOUR fan-base grown exponentially since 2001; a whole new fan -base has come to age. Along with the afore -mentioned, band- based advertising; other strategic technological advertising, for electronics etc.; -which have a Pink Floyd “FEEL”,- could be implemented. Best of luck ; I really see i happening soon.
