A Very Irregular Head: The Life of Syd Barrett"I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway." Syd Barrett's last interview, Rolling Stone, 1971 Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (1946 2006) was, by all accounts, the very definition of a golden boy.

"I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway."--Syd Barrett's last interview, Rolling Stone, 1971 Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (1946-2006) was, by all accounts, the very definition of a golden boy. Blessed with good looks and a natural aptitude for painting and music, he was a charismatic, elfin child beloved by all, who fast became a teenage leader in Cambridge, England, where a burgeoning bohemian scene was flourishing in the early 1960s. Along with three friends and collaborators--Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason--he formed what would soon become Pink Floyd, and rock 'n' roll was never the same. Starting as a typical British cover band aping approximations of American rhythm 'n' blues, they soon pioneered an entirely new sound, and British psychedelic rock was born. With early, trippy, Barrett-penned pop hits such as "Arnold Layne" (about a clothesline-thieving cross-dresser) and "See Emily Play" (written specifically for the epochal "Games For May" concert), Pink Floyd, with Syd Barrett as their main creative visionary, captured the zeitgeist of "Swinging" London in all its Technicolor glory. But there was a dark side to all this new-found freedom. Barrett, like so many around him, began ingesting large quantities of a revolutionary new drug, LSD, and his already-fragile mental state--coupled with a personality inherently unsuited to the life of a pop star--began to unravel. The once bright-eyed lad was quickly replaced, seemingly overnight, by a glowering, sinister, dead-eyed shadow of his former self, given to erratic, highly eccentric, reclusive, and sometimes violent behavior. Inevitably sacked from the band, Barrett retreated from London to his mother's house in Cambridge, where he would remain until his death, only rarely seen or heard, further fueling the mystery. In the meantime, Pink Floyd emerged from the underground to become one of the biggest international rock bands of all time, releasing multi-platinum albums, many that dealt thematically with the loss of their friend Syd Barrett: The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall are all, on many levels, about him. In A Very Irregular Head, journalist Rob Chapman lifts the veil of secrecy that has surrounded the legend of Syd Barrett for nearly four decades, drawing on exclusive access to family, friends, archives, journals, letters, and artwork to create the definitive portrait of a brilliant and tragic artist. Besides capturing all the promise of Barrett's youthful years, Chapman challenges the oft-held notion that Barrett was a hopelessly lost recluse in his later years, and creates a portrait of a true British eccentric who is rightfully placed within a rich literary lineage that stretches through Kenneth Graham, Hilaire Belloc, Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, John Lennon, David Bowie, and on up to the pioneers of Britpop. A tragic, affectionate, and compelling portrait of a singular artist, A Very Irregular Head will stand as the authoritative word on this very English genius for years to come.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Filter Set for Allergy‑Sensitive Families and MPG‑Minded Drivers
Size: 21-25 TLX, 18-25 Odyssey
I bought this set because I prefer handling routine maintenance myself, especially cabin and engine air filters, rather than paying dealership prices for simple jobs. The package included one cabin air filter and one engine air filter, plus a full backup set for the next service interval.
Both filters installed easily and fit the 2018 Honda Odyssey exactly as expected. No trimming, no forcing, and no alignment issues. The cabin filter seated cleanly in the glove‑box housing, and the engine filter dropped into the airbox without any airflow restriction or sealing gaps.
This setup is ideal for Odyssey owners who want to maintain optimal cabin air quality—especially helpful for families with allergies—and for drivers looking to keep engine airflow unrestricted for the best possible MPG and throttle response. It may not be necessary for anyone who relies exclusively on dealership service or doesn’t perform their own maintenance.
Overall, this is a straightforward, high‑value filter set that installs cleanly and supports both air quality and engine efficiency for DIY‑minded Odyssey owners.

Great Quality Filter and Perfect Fit for My 2022 CR-V
I bought this EPAuto air filter for my 2022 Honda CR-V 1.5L, and it couldn’t have been easier to install. It fits exactly like the original — snug and secure — and the whole process took under five minutes without any tools. Just open the air box, pull out the old filter, and drop this one in.
The quality feels solid with a sturdy frame and well-made filter material. It’s not flimsy at all, and you can tell it’s built to last. After swapping it in, I noticed the engine felt a bit smoother, and there was a slight improvement in responsiveness, especially during acceleration. I’m also hoping it helps with fuel efficiency over time.
Honestly, for the price and convenience, this is a no-brainer. It’s a simple upgrade you can do yourself that helps protect your engine and saves you money on dealership replacements. Highly recommended if you drive a newer CR-V like mine!
