Some of you will recall the impressive set of Pink Floyd tattoos that we recently featured on the site. Well, that has seemingly inspired others to share their own, very personal body-art with us (and the Floyd community too). We've had a few additional contributions now, and have today set up a special page devoted to Floyd tats! You can see it here (or have a wander through the gallery, where you'll see other art created by fans of the band). If YOU'VE got some interesting tattoos featuring the band and/or their artwork, we'd love to see them - please This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with details.

On October 16th we reported that the Flaming Lips were to release a cover version of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon. For those of you interested in this developing story, we've got a couple of updates for you.

First, for those eager for the release of the already recorded opus: according to the new issue of Rolling Stone, their remake will be released before Christmas as a digital release only (iTunes, etc.).

Second, the band are performing a special New Year's Eve concert in Downtown Oklahoma City's Cox Center, which will feature - starting at midnight - a special performance of TDSOTM as the perfect start to 2010 for those attending! Click the thumbnail for the event poster.

Our thanks to regular Brain Damage contributor Stephen Humphries for the info.

Published on December 1st, the new issue [number 194, dated January 2010, click thumbnail to the right] of the UK's Mojo Magazine continues with its look at Pink Floyd's The Wall with director Sir Alan Parker's world exclusive account of the making of The Wall movie while animator Gerald Scarfe reflects on the madness of this landmark meeting of music and cinema.

The cover mounted CD continues The Wall theme - "The Wall Re-Built disc two" completes the set started by the previous issue, with the remaining of the tracks from the album covered by a variety of artists including Engineers, Peter Broderick, Ralfe Band, Diagonal and many more.

The magazine will be available very shortly in all good UK retailers, and in due course worldwide in selected outlets as an import. Alternatively, call their UK back issue order service on 01858-438806 between 8am-9.30pm (UK time) Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm Saturday to buy your copy. In the US, it's sold at both Borders and Barnes & Noble (among other places) and the US distributor normally is selling it around two weeks after it's published in the UK.

Our congratulations to the team behind the incredible 3D laser prism that formed the climax of Roger Waters' 2008 The Dark Side Of The Moon tour - the effect won an award in the prestigious 2009 ILDA Awards. The ceremony, held in Amsterdam, saw the International Laser Display Association give the industry's equivalent of a Hollywood Oscar to the design team for first place in the Live Stage Performance category.

For those who weren't able to see the show, the world's largest full-colour lasers re-created the iconic Pink Floyd prism in laser light. The famous cover artwork from DSOTM was concepualized as a laser artform by lighting designer Marc Brickman, and realised by Lightwave International and ETG. Over 100 Watts of full colour lasers were used to magically transform an abstract set piece into a rotating tetrahedron towering above the audience. There, it rotated and emitted Pink Floyd's famous white beam and rainbow.

Lightwave International's website has a detailed page on the prism, with a number of great pictures and also a video showing how the prism was constructed (and what it looked like in action).
