Dark Side of the Rainbow

So, have you ever gotten bored on a Saturday? I have. In fact, after my wife put the boy to bed last night we really didn't have much to do. We had many hours left in the day and nothing, really, to fill it with. What to do, what to do. Well we found something. We queued up Dark side of the moon on the computer (connected via optical cable to the stereo system) and then started the Wizard of Oz in the DVD player. I found several methods for syncing the two but I decided to go with the most common. I had Dark side of the moon ready to play the instant I unpaused it and started it playing immediately after the black and white lion roared for the third time. It works. It's all in there. The album, though, will play 2 times during the course of the movie and really only syncs up with everything the first time through. Members of Pink Floyd have stated that it is nothing more than coincidence and that the technology didn't exist to do this when they recorded the album. I don't agree. It is true that there was no technology available for them to play the movie in the studio but syncing the album to the movie by watching as you play would have been impossible. What's not impossible, though, is for a producer with a stopwatch to time the moive (playing at a reliable 33 frames per second) and measure the amount of time between each significant event. From there it would not be hard to make sure that the songs line up with these significant events. Especially when you begine to realize that almost every song on the album begins with an intro of soundscape and end with a long fade/soundscape. These intros and outros could have been custome made to any length in order to ensure that the points in the song line up with the points in the movie. In the end, using this thin theory, it is possible to assume that the link between The Wizard of Oz and The Dark Side of the Moon is real and not just a coincdence. However, if this were done using the method described above the band may have never known about it. It could have been done by one producer with a calculator, a stopwatch, and an unnatural fixation on midget porn. If I ever watch it again, or if you ever watch it, the album should be started right AFTER the 2nd roar instead of during or after the 3rd. I think that will make it work just a little bit better. The album seemed to slightly follow the movie in the method I used so starting it a second or two earlier would be a good idea.
