As a pre-Christmas treat, on December 23rd the syndicated US rock radio programme Rockline will be airing an "encore episode" featuring Pink Floyd in honour of The Wall's 30th Anniversary. Hosted by Bob Coburn, we understand the 90 minute episode is the show that they broadcast in 2006, which was taken from multiple Rockline archive shows featuring David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Nick Mason and provides a fascinating glimpse into the actual recording of the album, the movie and the historic Berlin performance in front of well over 250,000 people.

For details of the various US radio stations that carry the Rockline broadcasts, visit RockLineRadio.com. Our thanks to BD regular Terrence Reardon for the info.

More artwork for you, with the news that Storm Thorgerson has been busy creating again. He has taken another look at the "Back Catalogue" concept which he has been developing since EMI commissioned him to create an image to promote the Pink Floyd's albums. This time, he has been busy in South Africa, and his latest take on the idea [click thumbnail, right] - entitled "Outback Catalogue" - includes not just the Syd Barrett-esque "Pink Floyd - Tree of Half Life" but covers he created for Genesis (Lamb Lies Down), the Cranberries, and Mars Volta.

It is available to buy from Stormsight.co.uk as a fine art limited edition print, signed, titled and numbered by Storm himself. Should be another popular image amongst Storm's many enthusiastic fans worldwide.

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.
