Tying in with the fifteen anniversary of the album release, highly respected US radio show In The Studio will be airing another Pink Floyd show - their Division Bell special, featuring interviews with David Gilmour and Nick Mason. They'll be talking about the album's creation, the final studio album release from the band.

The show will be airing during the week of August 17th - 23rd, with individual radio stations across the US broadcasting it on their chosen day and time. So, visit www.InTheStudio.net for details of the many radio stations which carry the syndicated show (a number of which stream online allowing listeners worldwide to tune in). Our thanks to Terrence Reardon for the tip-off.

Coinciding with the sad news that the Judicial Reviews on alleged hacker Gary McKinnon's case did not support his fight against extradition, the promo video for "Chicago/Change The World", the song in support of his cause, was completed and released this afternoon.

As many of you are aware, the song is a cover of the Graham Nash song, as a direct appeal to President Barack Obama. Featuring the vocals, keyboards, electric guitar and bass guitar of David Gilmour, the song also includes vocals from Chrissie Hynde, Bob Geldof, and Gary himself.

To see the promo video, which gives an interesting insight into the recording of the track, and to find out more about what the family intend to do about the latest setback, visit www.DavidGilmour.com where you'll find the video on the home page.

The final pair of shows on Guy Pratt's new stand-up show, "Breakfast of Idiots", that has been touring Australia for almost a month, take place tonight (Friday July 31st) and tomorrow in Brisbane. Make sure you get along to The Sit Down Comedy Club to catch Guy's show before it's too late! And, as a special deal, they are doing a "buy one, get one free" offer on tickets. More details on the venue here.

Those who've had the pleasure of seeing his show, will know it is heavily updated from the original "My Bass..." performances. It is chock full of hilarious stories about his times with Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, and a whole bunch of other top musicians. You really shouldn't miss it!

If you've not been able to get along to the shows, you can order his excellent, hilarious and at turns mind-boggling book that covers his time on the road and in the studio so far (our review here) through the following special links: Amazon UK, Amazon.com (US/international), Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France, purchases through which help towards the costs of running this site and are very much appreciated...

A bit of advance notice for you: over the next two months, UK-based TV channel Sky Arts 1 are broadcasting a range of excellent Pink Floyd-related programmes, and for those who have Sky Arts 1 HD, these programmes will be mirrored on that channel, broadcast in high definition.

Showing between August 11th, and October 1st, will be the absorbing documentary, A Technicolor Dream, David Gilmour's Remember That Night, and two distinctly different looks at Dark Side Of The Moon - the Classic Albums documentary, and the 1994 performance of the album from the PULSE release. Those things not shot in HD will be upscaled to 1080i so should look good if you can tune in to the high def version.
