Pink Floyd The Wall 30th Anniversary on US radio « Result #2 on Nov 12, 2009, 10:48pm »
To help celebrate the 30th anniversary of its release, the well-respected interviewer Redbeard makes Pink Floyd The Wall the subject of a two-part, two-hour special airing the weeks of November 16th, 2009, and November 23rd, 2009 on his "In The Studio" show.
The show will feature interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, all looking back at the making of the album plus live shows and film, and so shouldn't be missed!
In its 21st year, "In The Studio" is a weekly hour-long "rockumentary" syndicated each week to over 85 US cities, and listenable online worldwide. More details, including airing times, can be found at InTheStudio.net.

If there's not a station in your area, and you are unable to tune in online, Redbeard normally posts the entire interview on his website after it has aired. Our thanks to Terrence Reardon for the information on this interview.

Roger Waters to tour The Wall in 2010/2011?? « Result #3 on Nov 12, 2009, 10:36pm »
From our friends at Brain Damage The Pink Floyd Online Fanzine
Published on November 1st, the new issue (number 193, dated December 2009, click thumbnail to the left) of the UK's Mojo Magazine covers Pink Floyd's The Wall with an exclusive interview with Roger Waters who talks about the construction, deconstruction and the Broadway rebuild! Additionally, Mark Blake takes a detailed look back at the 1980 shows with comments from the principles and loads of great photos.
Also, in this issue Roger hints about... taking the original 1980 The Wall arena show back on the road (with or without David Gilmour), more film footage of the original shows has been uncovered and is being edited right now, and the Broadway Wall show is in its fourth draft.

PF stamp « Result #5 on Oct 16, 2009, 6:08pm »
Time to become a stamp collector perhaps.
From AFG
Pink Floyd Management have been in touch to tell us that Pink Floyd will receive the accolade of being featured on a UK Royal Mail postage stamp on 7th January 2010. After the success of Royal Mail’s recent British Design Classics stamps, they have created a series featuring only classic UK album cover designs. Available from Thursday 7th January 2010, it includes the 1994 UK Number One album The Division Bell, which went on to sell more than 10 million copies around the world. Designed by Storm Thorgerson with Keith Breeden, the cover depicts two massive heads, created by Sculptor John Robertson, placed in the East Anglian landscape, which in turn suggest a ‘third face’, echoing the album’s themes of contradictory communication. The self-adhesive stamps are printed in two separate sheets of 25* There is also a souvenir sheet (223 x 188 mm) including stamps with water-activated gum’.* (The sheet containing ‘The Division Bell’ also has album covers by Coldplay, Blur, New Order and The Rolling Stones).

I very rarely post in AFG, but I always read everything. Sometimes there´s some really childish bickering going on. The Waters versus Gilmour debate for instance. It´s almost always instigated by some Waters fanatic, like "Bradley, Gallatin, Kitkat, Mimzy, etc", but then a real PF fan like Joker gets too hot on the other side, making things worse. I used to step in to defend Joker though. He got some severe bashing at one point. He´s not posting much these days. Pity, he knows a lot about PF and I miss his input.
Joker was a great guy. He should join us. Him and I always had no beefs/problems. I always stuck up for him and the guys got angry at me because I didn't take no BS. It's a shame that the forum went to crap.

Hm, was that Gallatin?

Re: Last album you bought « Result #10 on Aug 17, 2009, 3:23pm »
I got some more vinyl and CDs in last few weeks:
Vinyl:
Genesis - A Trick of the Tail (original Atco issue), Wind and Wuthering (original Atco issue), Seconds Out, Abacab (with cover B), Three Sides Live and The Mama Album (all original Atlantic vinyl issues) The Eagles - Hotel California (first issue) and The Long Run The Who - Face Dances and It's Hard (original mixes on Warner Bros.)
CDs:
Styx - Cornerstone and Kilroy Was Here Judas Priest - Sin After Sin and Painkiller Pink Floyd - The Final Cut (original version and 2004 reissues), Delicate Sound of Thunder, The Division Bell and PULSE (all EMI issues from Amazon) Rush - A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Power Windows and Snakes and Arrows (all replacement copies)
Am going to buy Beatles remasters September 9 and will have some copies to sell on eBay (starting at a low price)
Now you´ve got me curious, what was the discussion that got you banned from AFG? It´s pretty calm there nowadays, methinks.
Long story. It was a mixture of fighting and standing up to troll Brad (I was raised not to take any BS) and also a debate on MP3 players and iPods and gave out a generalization of who owns them (seeing as I worked at an indy record store where vinyl and CDs are ALIVE AND WELL much to what the media and press says otherwise). Then the former member Clemens got hot at me so I called him Roger Clemens (after former Boston Red Sox/Toronto Blue Jays/New York Yankees/Houston Astros pitcher in Major League Baseball) and told me to take back my statement but I stood by what I said and called him an SOB and said to take the Glimpse forum and shove it because I quit. Then a few hours later, they barred me. I've grown up since and wanted to return but they want nothing to do with me and that's fine. Then a fellow poster named Joker (who liked me) as well as a few others quit because of my ouster/departure. My last words were to those who stood by me, I'm still here. Those who don't like me can stick it! Then I did loads of growing up after my mother, then Rick Wright, then one of my best friends Dan and maternal grandmother all passed away in last two and a half years.

The Division Bell to be on In the Studio « Result #12 on Aug 5, 2009, 11:27pm »
The radio show In The Studio is to air a 15th Anniversary episode to Pink Floyd's final album The Division Bell. To listen to a sampler of the episode go to www.inthestudio.net. It's going to air the week of August 17-23 for those who can get the show on the radio. The interview will be streamed shortly the week after broadcast.
Hm, he seems to pop up in quite a few forums and on Amazon. Always the same messege but under different names. I think he´s on NPF right now as well.
He was barred from the NPF forum for previously aforementioned trolling. He was also banned from the Glimpse Forum (as was I as I tended to be outspoken and some of the members there didn't like me as I used the ol' American Constitution a bit too much).
