Pink Floyd's timeless 'The Dark Side of the Moon' was released 51 years ago, on March 1, 1973. I don't recall anyone doing a monthly theme based on one single album- sorry if that is not the case! Yes, this idea is one year later than would have been ideal, but what are ya gonna do- I didn't think of it until last week.

Anyway, for the month of March, all of the daily prompts are taken from this classic record. The only guidance you're going to be given as far as daily instruction is the prompt, so use it how you see fit. I suspect some of these will be more difficult to come up with a pick than others, so hopefully that doesn't dissuade your participation too much and generates some genuinely creative responses. I guess we'll see! Either way, you're encouraged to find a connection that works for you.

The only imposed limitation to your daily choice is that it cannot be 'The Dark Side of the Moon', because there is no dark side of the moon, really...

Peter Gabriel - Us



So… I’ve talked about how Peter Gabriel was the first music that I remember feeling like belonged to me as opposed to my parents. Passion was the first album by him that I bought when it came out. This lead to a love of World music, especially with the companion Passion: Sources compilation that was a this stuff inspired the soundtrack thing.

So this was the first Peter Gabriel the pop visionary album I bought when it was new. I love all of them, even the later less than ideal albums, but this is what I really think of when I think of Gabriel. It is the one that I reach for first most often. It speaks to me, just as he did when I was a kid and heard “Solsbury Hill” for the first time. How apropos that it starts with a sing entitled “Come Talk to Me.”
