The October 2008 issue of the UK's Uncut Magazine features an eleven page feast of Floyd! They look at the band's 30 "Greatest Songs" as voted for by David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and their friends, fellow musicians and famous fans, including the likes of Robert Wyatt, Peter Jenner, Phil Manzanera, Gerald Scarfe, and (somewhat unexpectedly) Ice Cube, who enthuses about ABITW2.
With a foreword by David, a long piece by him on the development of Shine On, and Nick talking about Set The Controls, it is an occasionally surprising look at what the various people involved choose to listen to from the extensive back catalogue. Sadly, they don't include Ron Geesin's amusing initial comments about what Floyd tracks he listens to, but then you can read those here in our recent interview with him!
The magazine is has just hit the shelves in the UK, and you can also find it in selected other countries as an import. More information at www.Uncut.co.uk.

As many of you will recall, legendary producer, and later recording artist in his own right, Norman
"Hurricane" Smith, sadly passed away in March.
In recent years, he was working on the full publication of his memoirs, in the book "John Lennon Called Me Normal". Containing many rare pictures, much of which have not been seen before, the book contains his sharp and amusing story of working with the Beatles and Pink Floyd at Abbey Road.
As a fitting tribute to Norman, his long-awaited book has now been published through specialists Lulu.com, and we have five copies to give away to Brain Damage visitors!
