Pink Floyd's See Emily Play covered by Martha Wainwright again Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Friday, 09 May 2008

martha wainwrightMonday, May 12th sees the release of 'I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too', the third album from singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright. While the record is mainly made up of original material, there are two covers featured: Pink Floyd's 'See Emily Play' and 'Love Is A Stranger' by The Eurythmics. Many of you will recall that Martha, along with Kate McGarrigle and Lily Lanken, performed a lovely 'Emily' at the Syd Barrett tribute concert at London's Barbican Hall which was held a year ago, practically to the day.

With contributions from Pete Townshend (The Who), Garth Hudson (The Band) and her brother Rufus, the album sounds worth checking out. You can order it from: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France. Our thanks to Bert van Kalker for the info!

roger waters with dolphinA bit of Friday fun for you... in the latest issue (May 2008) of the US edition of Rolling Stone magazine, there's a very unexpected picture of Roger Waters. Taking whilst he was in the Brazilian Amazon for the Ca Ira concert preparations, it shows him feeding a dolphin in the Amazon River. We couldn't resist showing you this picture!

The magazine is currently available on US newsstands. International editions are sold around the planet, but content varies between the different versions, so if you are intending to buy the issue for this picture, please check before purchasing!

roger waters in st petersburg We know a number of you have been eagerly awaiting news of ticketing for Roger's final show on his 2008 Dark Side Of The Moon mini-tour. Well, thanks to our friend Petrovich from the excellent Russian pink-floyd.ru site, we now have full information for you!

Petrovich tells us that the concert is being staged as a gift to residents and guests from the St Petersburg city government and the organizers of St Petersburg International Economic Forum, so entrance to the concert is free. However, there is an allocated "VIP" zone, consisting of six sectors and more than 8000 seats. The ticket prices for this area start at 3,300 RUR, and go up to 16,500 RUR (approximately 90-450 euros). Tickets can be ordered at www.kassir.ru (or click here for a translated version of their site).

jon carinMany of you will have seen the recent opportunities that Jon Carin has recently given, auctioning off tickets to recent Roger Waters concerts in the US, along with backstage passes so that you can meet Jon. These were to raise money for his daughter's school in New York, to try to compensate for budget cuts from the city of New York this year.

For those who want to catch one of the final performances of Dark Side Of The Moon, Jon has arranged for one more golden opportunity, though CharityFolks.com:

The auction features great seats for you and your very lucky friends, and with your backstage passes you'll get to meet the keyboard, guitar and lap steel musician and lead vocalist from Roger's band, Jon Carin! A great opportunity, and the auction has just a few days left (finishing on May 13th), so don't delay...
