To tie in with the recent publication of Gerald Scarfe's The Making of Pink Floyd - The Wall book, we've got a couple of interview updates for you.

First, Gerald will be talking about the album on the UK based satellite TV channel Sky Arts One at 7pm (GMT) this coming Thursday (November 18th) on The Book Show. Sky Arts One can be seen via Sky and Virgin Media in the UK, and in a number of countries in Europe via satellite. Our thanks to Adam James for the info.

Last Friday in the US, "The Pop Culture King Show" that aired in Atlanta on The Voice of the Arts was dedicated to The Wall Tour, which lands there on Nov. 18, and featured an interesting interview with Gerald. Excerpts from the interview ran in last Friday's edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper, the city's only major daily, and can be seen here. However, you can hear the show through this direct link.

On the official Pink Floyd Store, a rather nice new item has appeared. It's described as a "limited edition vintage style Moto jacket inspired by Nick Mason and his passion for auto racing. Decorated with the Pulse Heartbeat embroidery."

The jacket is available on a pre-order basis only for a limited time (through December 4th, 2010) exclusively from the online store. All jackets will ship in mid December, which should mean it'll arrive in time for use as a Christmas present for a lucky friend or relative.

With thanks to our friends over at the store, we have one jacket to give away to a Brain Damage visitor!

Further to our previous stories about a commemorative release of the 1990 Berlin Wall concert by Roger Waters, we have an exclusive update on the package for you, which should keep us going whilst we hope and pray that the original Wall concerts finally get a release!

Whilst there were plans to release it on Blu-ray, these have now been dropped. However, we've been told that Universal are lining up two versions which sound rather interesting - a standard, Amaray cased release, and a 2DVD/2CD package in a card slipcase, similar to the Dire Straits "Alchemy" Collectors Edition, and both new versions of Berlin 1990 include previously unreleased material as detailed below...

Two magazines were published in the UK today which might be of interest to Pink Floyd fans! First, the December 2010 issue of Classic Rock Magazine includes a fascinating two-page Q&A with Nick Mason.

In the chat, Nick talks about the Hoping Foundation show in July which saw Roger Waters and David Gilmour playing together, the chances of a Floyd reunion and album, and the way the music industry has changed since the 60s when Pink Floyd turned professional. He also notes that Pink Floyd could never tour again. "No, it's just too dangerous. Roger and David would end up killing each other. And that would just leave me... That was my plan entirely. Finally, I am the leader of Pink Floyd."

Elsewhere in the December edition of Classic Rock, there's an interview with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, a look at Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run, and the story behind The Move ("An everyday story of acid, axes, heavies, blacked-out cars and a 43-year-old political scandal. And some fantastic hits.")

And it comes with a couple of free gifts: a 2011 ‘Heavy Metal Cookbook’ Calendar, and a copy of Cheap Trick’s latest CD, aptly titled The Latest.

The second publication is the weekly NME (New Musical Express), which has a feature on the photographer Mick ROck. The magazine has three Mick Rock prints included with it - Rock's portraits of Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, and Syd Barrett, captured during the Madcap Laughs cover shot session. Our thanks to Nino Gatti for the NME info.
