Just a quick head's up for those of you in the UK and certain parts of Europe, for an upcoming TV show airing next week.

Episode 3 of a new Sky Arts series, London Calling, is about album art and the discussion includes sleeve art legend Storm Thorgerson. The one-hour show airs on Sky Arts 1, on September 19th at 8pm, and features Boy George, Steve Norman and Storm discussing how pioneering album art has helped to define British bands including Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols. Sky Arts 1 is available through Sky satellite services along with Virgin Media digital cable. It's aired in standard and high definition, depending on what subscription package you have.

Our thanks to David Haddock for tipping us off about this upcoming show.

Voting for the 2012 Classic Rock Awards, sponsored by the UK's respected Classic Rock magazine, has now opened for fans of the nominated bands worldwide to cast their votes for their favourites.

In the "Reissue Of The Year" category, you can vote for the DSOTM Immersion set, which they note: "As a cornerstone release of the epic Why Pink Floyd? reissue programme, The Dark Side of The Moon was treated to a stunning 2011 remaster, and released in Discovery, Experience and Immersion editions. Featuring newly minted packaging across the range, the highly collectable Immersion edition featured a host of rare, unreleased and alternate audio and video content in both standard and high resolution across CD/DVD and BluRay. The Dark Side Of The Moon was the first record to get this reissue treatment, followed by Wish You Were Here and The Wall."

Elsewhere, John Edginton's fascinating film, "Pink Floyd :"The Story Of Wish You Were Here" has been nominated in the "DVD/Film Of The Year" category. Our review of this can be read here.

There are a number of other categories but a number of them are not open to readers' votes. If you decide to place your votes in this popular Awards, make sure you register as part of the voting process, otherwise your vote won't count... It would be nice for the Floyd to be recognised further - in the their sister publication, Prog Magazine, Pink Floyd won the "Grand Design" category for the Immersion reissues, in Prog's 2012 Awards.

Our heartiest best wishes go to Roger Waters, who celebrates his 69th birthday today (Thursday, September 6th).

Roger was born in Great Bookham, Surrey, in 1943, moving to Cambridge when he was two years old. It was there that he met, and became childhood friends with, a number of key people in the story of Pink Floyd. We - the Brain Damage team, and quite a number of our visitors who have (as in previous years) asked us to pass on their best wishes, too - hope you have a great day, Roger. Many happy returns!

Of course, Roger has been extremely busy over the last few years, having successfully taken Dark Side Of The Moon on tour in 2006, which became an extended event. On completing that, the touring bug had clearly bitten strongly, as he immediately started work on a new version of The Wall - which finally opened in September 2010. That tour has been spectacularly successful, wrapping up recently in Quebec City with one of his large outdoor versions of the show.

It seems extremely likely (although, as you know, not officially confirmed yet) that the show will return to Europe next year for a final bit of bricklaying, and as and when dates are finally announced, we will have all the information here for you. In the meantime, there's also the planned DVD/Blu-ray of The Wall, taken from recent concerts, which hopefully will also be announced soon...

Following on from the recent exhibitions of stills from the movie of Pink Floyd - The Wall, the charity MediCinema has just put three rare items up for auction to raise money for their charity.
