Today marks the very sad fifth anniversary of Syd Barrett's passing away. I'm sure we will all mark the day with our memories and thoughts of Syd, in our own special way.
In the new issue of the UK's Clash Magazine, there's a large article on Syd, incorporating an interview with Mick Rock, who was a friend of Syd's and took a large number of photographs of him, in particular the 1969 photo shoot for Syd's debut solo album, 'The Madcap Laughs'.
The magazine is now available in UK stores, or alternatively, you can read the whole article online at Clashmusic.com. Our thanks to Jason Pyke for the information on this article.

Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason have all signed a one-off guitar, which is being auctioned in aid of homelessness charity Crisis.
The Fender American Standard Stratocaster guitar has been especially hand painted by Ian Emes, creator of the animated clocks on the 'Time' screen film, and Ian has recreated the clocks on the body of the guitar. With the guitar signed by the band and Ian, this truly unique instrument is sure to raise some decent funds for this very deserving cause.
Click here to be taken directly to the guitar on CharityBuzz.com; the auction opened today and closes on Thursday 14th July at 2:45PM Eastern Time, (7:45PM GMT). If you wish to make a separate donation to Crisis, their Web site is here.
UPDATE: The guitar sold for a very respectable $26,000/£16,025.
