As we reported back on July 7th, Storm Thorgerson has brought his wonderful cover images, and more, to the good people of San Francisco.

His new show there - entitled Lovers of Covers: The Album Art of Storm Thorgerson - has just opened at the San Francisco Art Exchange, and with thanks to Nikki at the gallery, we have three pictures from the launch evening showing Storm himself, Aubrey "Po" Powell, and various friends enjoying the event.

The show is open until September 15th, 2010, and well worth a visit if you are in or near the area.

To help celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album, the respected US radio broadcaster Redbeard is airing a special show on September 6th in North America. His "In The Studio" specials have built a great reputation due to their mix of detailed interview and music.

Whilst his interviews with the band members were recorded in 2006, Redbeard tells us that this upcoming show features an all-new script and the latest music mastering. The show can be heard across North America - check his website for participating radio stations, and then local listings for exact time and date of broadcast.

Through the wonders of the internet, for the first time this particular special will be available to hear worldwide at www.InTheStudio.net, where you can also find some of his other Pink Floyd specials to stream at your convenience (The Wall, and The Division Bell). Definitely worth a listen! Our thanks to Redbeard and to Terrence Reardon.

Roger Waters is to be the cover star of the upcoming issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine that features an in-depth interview with Roger in which he talks about taking The Wall back on the road, David Gilmour's offer to perform Comfortably Numb at one of his shows as well as pondering what the future might hold in store for him.

Also in the issue is an exclusive interview with David Gilmour and The Orb plus mention of the new Syd Barrett compilation - a real Floyd fest!

And if that's not enough there will be a free CD featuring tracks from Hawkwind, Touchstone, Eden and others. The new issue goes on sale in the UK on August 25th, and is available in selected locations worldwide as an import, or via MyFavouriteMagazines.co.uk for international mail order of this issue.

UPDATE, August 22nd: Certain retailers in the UK already have this issue on their shelves, and as you can see from the outer cover [click thumbnail] it is eye-catching and hard to miss! Taking the magazine out of the card envelope, you get a different front cover to the magazine itself - a nice portrait of Roger, on a black background.

Inside the magazine, there's a four page interview with Alex Paterson of The Orb, talking at length about how he got David Gilmour involved in the upcoming album we told you about on August 17th. Elsewhere, the interview with Roger Waters covers six well illustrated pages, is a fascinating look at his views on The Wall, and the upcoming concerts. Excitingly, he notes that "I'm definitely going to put The Wall [original concert] out [on DVD] at some point". He also squirms at the length of time since his last solo album was released, noting he has "so many songs written, I keep meaning to get round to organise it..."

Marking the 40th anniversary of the release of Meddle, the Pink Floyd 2011 Calendar is now available to buy. As you will see from the images of the front and back cover, to the right [click the thumbnails], the calendar focuses on the earlier days in the band's history, with pictures from 1967 through to The Wall concerts, with a couple of 1994 shots for good measure.

As with previous year's calendars, these official ones are well produced, and become quite a collector's item as time goes on. The calendar is 12" x 12" (30cm x 30cm), the same size as a vinyl LP (for those who remember them), and has a month per double-page view.

You can order yours now through the following special links: Play.com, Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, or Amazon Germany, all of which give a small but vital contribution towards BD site costs, without costing you any extra.
