 To coincide with the publication of the new issue - their 50th - of Prog Magazine tomorrow (Wednesday October 15th), which features extensive coverage of Pink Floyd, they will be celebrating the band on their radio station throughout the day. Some decent prizes will be on offer during the coverage too.
They have asked Prog readers to vote for their favourite Pink Floyd songs, and they'll be counting down the Top 10 tomorrow, all day on TeamRock Radio. Starting at 8am and running throughout the day until 5.30pm, you can hear the songs that their readership decided were their favourite Floyd tunes.
There'll be the chance to win one of five copies of the 2DVD set The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story, and the five lucky people will then go into a special draw where one lucky listener will win a pair of Kef Q300 speakers (worth £450).
You can tune in to TeamRock Radio by clicking the radio player at the bottom of their website.
In the meantime, Prog have sent us the eyecatching, proper artwork for the magazine cover. The previously shown cover is for the cardboard outer, rather than the magazine itself. The artwork has a three page ad for the new Floyd album on the other
side. You can purchase the magazine, either single issues or as a subscription, internationally through this direct link. Prog is also available on iPad, Google Play, Kindle and Nook.

 This afternoon, an official announcement has been made about the status of The Pink Floyd Exhibition - Their Mortal Remains, which was due to open last month. As many of you will be aware, the opening was postponed on August 11th due to "production delays" and we've been waiting on an update on the event. Here's the text of the announcement:
"Milan, October 13th, 2014 – Evolve Devolve, the Italian promoters of 'The Pink Floyd Exhibition - Their Mortal Remains', have announced today that the exhibition, due to take place from September 19th in Milan, has now been cancelled because the necessary conditions have not occurred in order to make it happen within the time frame available at the Fabbrica del Vapore. (These conditions have nothing to do with Milan's Municipality).
"Ticket holders for the exhibition should seek refunds from their point of purchase according to the procedures already communicated."
Obviously should there be any further developments with the exhibition we shall let you know.

 In UK stores from this coming Wednesday (October 15th) is the new issue - the 50th - of Prog magazine, and once you are past the rather eye-catching, if a little alarmist, cover, within its pages you'll find an interview with David Gilmour and Nick Mason, talking about the making of Pink Floyd's much-anticipated new album, The Endless River.
The publishers have pulled out the following quote: "I think we have successfully commandeered the best of what there is. I suspect this is it!" We will naturally update this story once we have the magazine in our hands, and can share more detail of what the article covers.
Elsewhere in the magazine, there's coverage of the Prog Awards and interviews with all the winners. There's also exclusive interviews with Flying Colors, Jon Anderson and Jean Luc Ponty, Anthony Phillips, Steve Rothery, Philip Selway, North Atlantic Oscillation, Anna Phoebe, Iamthemorning and Grumbling Fur. All this is housed in a special gatefold magazine cover!
You can purchase the magazine, either single issues or as a subscription, internationally through this direct link. Prog is also available on iPad, Google Play, Kindle and Nook.

You can view it over at YouTube, at the Floyd's official channel there, or indeed you can see it below:
