Definitely one to file in the weird pile... allegedly (and we are yet to get confirmation of this) the people behind the DVD release of The Simpsons Movie are staging a special event tomorrow. Those who have seen the film will know of the character Spider Pig - they are planning to float a double-decker sized inflatable version of said porker between the chimneys of Battersea Power Station!

The original Pink Floyd version was photographed 31 years ago - and now, as then, a marksman has apparently been employed to hopefully deal with any attempts of escape... If this does indeed take place, and anyone captures it on camera, please get in touch!

UPDATE [click thumbnail]: Some special offers are to be had today (Wednesday, December 5th), to close the show - Storm and the gang are also expecting to be there all day, so go along and have a great time. Don't miss out!

With its end in sight, we wanted to remind you to pay a visit to Storm Thorgerson's exhibition, "Mind Over Matter: Images of Pink Floyd", before it is too late! It is being held at the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms in central London, and which now closes on Wednesday, December 5th (a one-day extension from what was originally planned).

The exhibition celebrates the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd and the unique relationship between band and artist. It runs the gamut of the band's professional history, with pictures ranging from 1967 right up to the present day, and is your LAST CHANCE (for now) to see the collected images of Pink Floyd in this format.

The gallery is in Flitcroft Street, central London, just a stone's throw from Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road. For further information on the gallery, please visit www.elmslesters.com.

Last month, we told you that our friends Wendy & Freddy Bannister (Rockmusicmemorabilia.com) had found two remaining 1975 Knebworth Pink Floyd commemorative sets, offered them through us and A Fleeting Glimpse (our great sister site), and these sold out as soon as they were mentioned! They've been back in touch - they have just 10 of the Bath and Knebworth Festival combined sets left. These are bound to sell quickly, so act quickly if interested to avoid disappointment. For further info on what they contain, please email This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .

A superb new book, written by Phil Taylor, David Gilmour's long-term guitar technician, studio manager, production director and much more, takes a careful and detailed look at one of rock's most iconic instruments.

"The Black Strat: A History Of David Gilmour's Black Fender Stratocaster" is a thoroughly rewarding book for ALL Pink Floyd fans - not just the musicians amongst you! And thanks to Phil, we have a signed copy of the limited edition book to give away to one lucky Brain Damage visitor!
