 Five years ago yesterday, Mark Blake's excellent book Pigs Might Fly: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd (known as Comfortably Numb in the US) was published.
Drawing on his own interviews with all of the band members, plus almost a
hundred new interviews with the group's friends, road crew, producers,
designers, former housemates and university colleagues, the book is from
our perspective, a superb, incredibly detailed, and essential look at
the band's history. Our review of the original edition here.
For those who haven't yet partaken of this printed treat, or who love the book but wish it was a bit more current, some good news. A new edition of the book is in the works, which is expected to arrive on or around March 2013. With an additional chapter detailing their more recent activities, additional interview material, and various amendments throughout the book, the new edition should prove an indispensable addition to your bookshelves. The cover image to the right is a temporary one; Mark tells us that a new cover is in the works.
More information on this book will be along as soon as we have it; in the meantime, if you want to secure your copy now, pre-orders are being taken at:
Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Espana and Amazon Italy. Amazon have a pre-order price guarantee, so order it now, and you'll pay the lowest price they've advertised it at, between now and the date of release.

Several musicians confirmed to appear at tomorrow’s 12.12.12 Concert for Sandy Relief at New York's Madison Square Garden will make late night television appearances on US shows while in the area.
Roger Waters will stop by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for an interview this evening, while Billy Joel will make an appearance on the show on Thursday night. Neither guest is expected to perform, but they will both likely discuss the upcoming all-star benefit concert.
UPDATE: Jimmy Fallon appearances often appear online after airing, and last night's five minute chat, which included Roger revealing the set list for his 12.12.12 set, and confirming that the rumours that he'd be releasing a new album were "absolutely true"...no timescales were given though!

 Banish those post-Christmas blues with a quick trip to the Komedia in Brighton on January 31st, 2013, to see "Guy Pratt is The Sideman". The one-man show, at 8pm, celebrates 30 years as the bass player of choice for the heavyweights of rock and pop, including Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Robert Palmer, Bryan Ferry, Jimmy Page, David Coverdale, Womack & Womack, and The Smiths.
His one man show is all about life at the pointy end of the music business; Guy regales audiences with stories from behind, behind the scenes. His self-deprecating wit is irresistible and his rip-roaring anecdotes have to be heard to be believed. This is an evening which is both funny and frank with enough insider's references to satisfy even afficionados - and he’ll be bringing his beloved vintage Fender bass to demonstrate his craft.
Tickets are now available through this link.
