 In today's Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, Nick Mason looks back at life in Pink Floyd, inspired by the recently released studio album box set, "Oh By The Way".
The interview has him in reflective mood. "I just got one of the box sets and its interest is in looking at the box, flicking through what's actually included and trying to, not make sense of it, but think about it harder, about the way there is a sort of progression where some albums drop out of the progression."
On the conflicts within the band, he said "Well, I think apart from the principals, the four or five of us, including Syd - which is a story in itself - there is an interesting thing about the way bands who survive or produce good work need a certain element of conflict quite often. You certainly need more than one person driving it. I think it's infinitely fascinating and I think there is
probably a great book to be written - but probably by a psychiatrist."
Nick talks about some of his regrets, and how, with hindsight, they would have done things a little differently, both in terms of touring and staging, and managing feelings and desires within the band. An interesting interview which can be read here.

As the album enters its 35th year, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon has just racked up yet another win in the polls. This time, it was courtesy of Swiss National Radio station DRS3, who asked their country folk which album they considered THE all-time masterpiece. Throughout 2007, each Sunday they aired a complete album (airing the top 50 albums), giving listeners a vote for the final order. Dark Side was conclusively the winner, with AC/DC's Back In Black coming in second place. Band of the moment Led Zeppelin only managed seventh place with their first album...

 To coincide with the Christmas holiday at the end of December, and to mark the end of the first year of the new design Brain Damage website, we put together a bumper sack of Pink Floyd goodies to give away. Whilst we thought the prizes (shown to the left, click on the thumbnail) would be popular, we had no idea we'd get quite so many entries!
With DVDs, books, and tour programmes amongst the prizes, there was clearly something of interest
for everyone... but were you one of the lucky winners? Find out here!
