The Pink Floyd logo It seems that this is really true. One of my all time favorite bands, the legendary Pink Floyd will release a new album this October. The album, which is their first to be released in 20 years, is named The Endless River and the first rumor about its release started after David Gilmour’s wife, Polly Samson, twitted: Btw Pink Floyd album out in October is called “The Endless River”. Based…
Source Roger Waters The Pink Floyd co-founder decided to release his first rock album in 20 years according to Rolling Stone. What do we know about this album is that he just finished a demo which is 55 minutes long. It’s songs and theater as well. I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s couched as a radio play. It has characters who speak to each other, and it’s…
The legendary prog rock Pink Floyd, arguably the best band ever, are best known for their distinguished use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, and elaborate live shows; they revolutionized a big part of music as we know it today, but if producer Bob Ezrin had his way, the band might have switched luscious soundscapes for processed beats during their late 1980s comeback. While working on A Momentary Lapse Of Reason”, Ezrin had suggested that the…
Roger Waters announced plans to release a new concept album called “Heartland”. As usual, Mr. Waters hasn’t gone into many details about the album, but he did mention something very interesting… “I’ll tell you what the first line is – I haven’t told anyone else, and I may be sticking my head too far above the parapet,” said Waters, “but the first line is, ‘If I had been God…'” Oh wow, gee, you know that…
As previously reported, The Flaming Lips’ follow-up to their recently released full length “Embryonic” will be a cover album of Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side of the Moon, most probably adapted to the band’s eclectic experimentalism. This Friday, The Flaming Lips hit the KCRW studios where they played Pink Floyd’s 1973 classic closer “Eclipse”, as part of their session for the station’s Morning Becomes Eclectic show. You can check out the faithful rendition of Eclipse…
Last night, The Flaming Lips played LA’s Ricardo Montalbán Theater as part of a more intimate set, free of the band’s usual live show props (no explosions, fake blood or anything that could be considered outrageous, not for The Flaming Lips at least). There, the band opened up the crowd with a set packed with new songs off the new album, “Embryonic” – a really hate it or love it release. Besides the impeccable performance,…

Photo by flannelass I was going over a few of my favorite websites on the net, just earlier, when I cam across an interesting post down at the Guardian music blog, that really caught my attention and made me reflect a bit. The article is centered around the idea according to which bands should disband as soon as they’re successful. Ben Myers, the journalist who wrote the article, feels that there’s a certain point in…
The famous Pink Floyd pig, which nowadays can only be seen live on Roger Waters gigs, has mysteriously disappeared at Coachella on Sunday (April 27). The giant inflatable pig, part of Pink Floyd’s stage show since their 1977 iconic LP “Animals,” simply broke free from its tethers above the Coachella crowd and drifted off. Organisers are offering a $10,000 reward and four festival tickets for life in exchange for Waters’ signature pig, which was seen…
[tag]Pink Floyd[/tag]’s smashing debut album “The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn”, launched 40 years ago on August 5 1967, is set to be remastered and re-released as a 3 disc tribute special edition on August 28, of this year.

Besides the 3 CDs the package contains a 12-page reproduction of Syd Barrett’s notebook, a excellent idea as Syd used to devise some brilliant…
