Pre-orders are now being taken for the newly-revealed Official 2012 Pink Floyd Calendar. An annual favourite amongst fans, the calendar celebrates the band over the course of the year, and is often then squirrelled away as a collectable in the years to come!

This year's calendar, due for publication on September 1st, features one of the Dark Side era Broadhurst Gardens promo shots on the cover, and boasts a free poster inside. At this stage though, details of what images the calendar contains aren't available. However, we're expecting it to be another StormStudios design, so it should look good on your wall.

If you want to place your order now, you can do so through Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, or Amazon.com.

UPDATE: As at the start of August 2011, these started being shipped out, well in advance of the official publication date, and full details of what images they contain are now available. We have therefore replaced the provisional cover art with the front and rear of the calendar (click the thumbnails to see them in a little more detail). Get your orders in now for this popular item!

This afternoon, a third Roger Waters Wall concert in Greece has been announced. The show takes place on Tuesday, July 12th at the OAKA Arena/Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens, Greece, and tickets go onsale on Tuesday, May 24th at 10:30am, through Tickethouse and online through Ticketpro. At time of writing this, the show will be the final one of the 2011 schedule.

As a reminder, Roger's management have advised that the Greek shows are being filmed and recorded. As a result they are making it clear that all cameras and all mobile phones are strictly forbidden and will not be admitted to the venue.

They point out that "the use of flash from cameras and phones will have a catastrophic impact on the projected images on the Wall and consequently on the quality of the filming. This is an extremely serious issue. The actual recording is not the problem; it is the use of flash. Constant flashing from members of the audience totally destroys the images projected on the Wall and this means that the filming of this concert will be a failure".

Roger Waters appears as Kirsty Young's "castaway" on BBC Radio 4's legendary Desert Island Discs on May 29th at 11:15am. It is a forty-five minute programme, where the castaway selects their favourite music, book, and luxury item, to make life on a desert island more bearable. It is repeated the following Friday (June 3rd) at 9am.

BBC Radio 4 can be heard on FM and DAB radio, digital cable, satellite and freeview, and via the BBC website where they have the excellent "Listen Live" and "Listen Again" facilities, allowing you to hear the broadcasts for up to seven days following transmission.

Desert Island Discs is also available for download as a podcast via this link - they have extensive archives of old DID shows, including David Gilmour's 2003 appearance, which you can hear in full.

Rolling Stone have just interviewed Nick Mason on the historic scenes at London's O2 Arena last week, when David Gilmour and Nick joined Roger Waters during his Wall show there.

Nick, who made a return visit to the O2 Arena last night to watch the show again, revealed his surprise last Thursday. "It hadn't ever been quite finalized – there'd been talk about maybe playing in Paris or something else, so it was very nice to get there and see that [David] was there". He added: "It was really nice to be sort of part of it and to show support for Roger, not that he really needs it. I suppose it's nice to have Roger wanting to register David and myself as part of it, in a way. It was sort of a mutual thing: it was nice to be recognized but also very nice to lend support to Roger and make it clear that we're not sort of punching it out in these auditoriums. We're not critical of him doing it."

The full interview provides a fascinating look at their thoughts, and the preparations for the guest spots. He also plays down the possibilities of future repeats of last Thursday night, or even a full scale reunion. "It was a very nice thing to do but it could become a bit cliché if we kept climbing to the top of the Wall and kept hugging each other onstage. I mean, I think enough is enough. I mean, we're English after all. We don't do that hugging thing a lot."
