Many of you will recall that, all the way back in February, we told you about Blurred Vision, a Toronto-based band fronted by to exiled Iranian brothers, who had produced their own version of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall part 2 with Roger Waters' full blessing.

The project has, in the last week, finally hit the mainstream press, and Roger has been talking about it on his Facebook page. He says: "I think it's great that these guys are using the song to protest against the repressive and brutal regime in Iran. South African kids did during apartheid and Palestinian kids do to protest the Israeli occupation of their land. I am proud to be a small part of this resistance."

To date, the video (which you can view via our earlier story, or indeed directly at Youtube) was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Babak Payami, and has had over 238,000 views at time of writing. It emphasizes the importance of citizen journalism in transporting the bitter realities of another remote part of the world, while it warns of its implications on us in the safety of our homes far away. Roger himself added: "I think The Blurred Vision video is very accomplished and makes its point powerfully."

As we revealed back in April, Gerald Scarfe's "The Making of Pink Floyd: The Wall" is being published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson (who published Nick Mason's excellent "Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd") on October 21st 2010.

"The Making of Pink Floyd: The Wall" is the authorized, definitive book about the project and includes new commentaries from the surviving members of Pink Floyd: Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, together with the director of the film, Sir Alan Parker. Roger Waters has written the foreword. The album imagery, stage performances and film were created in close collaboration with Gerald Scarfe, and his massive archive includes original storyboards, animation cells, concept drawings, models and other three-dimensional material together with photographs of the creation and staging of the live performances and the filming of The Wall.

We have great pleasure in bringing you this special photo of Gerald Scarfe and Roger Waters in Scarfe's studio, shows them going through material for the book [click the thumbnail to view it in more detail]. It's a lovely, personal look at work on the book, and was taken by Jane Scarfe (Asher), and online exclusively here at Brain Damage!

The Steve Lamacq show on BBC Radio 6 Music this coming Thursday (August 5th), continues Lamacq's interviews with key Edinburgh Fringe Festival performers, with Guy Pratt chatting on the show about the upcoming run of his new "Wake Up Call" show [click thumbnail, right]. Guy talks about life playing bass for the likes of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour, lifts the lid on life in the studio, and reveals just what life is like as a session musician.

The show airs between 4pm - 7pm BST, can be heard in the UK and many parts of Europe, as well as online at the BBC website worldwide, and more details can be found here.

Four years after Storm's last show there, Milan will shortly see the return of "Pink Floyd - Mind Over Matter - The Cover Art of Storm Thorgerson".

Over 50 of his pieces created for Pink Floyd - some familiar, others not quite so, but all wonderful, especially seen properly printed, and in this setting - will be on display at la Fabbrica del Vapore, in via Procaccini, between September 10th and 26th, 2010. Admission is free. The show has been organised by la Galleria Arteutopia, in conjunction with the City of Milan authorities.
