We've made previous mention of Mark Blake's new book, "Pigs Might Fly: The Inside Story Of Pink Floyd" which was due to be published next month. Mark's just got in touch with the news that this has been brought forward, and the book is available from today!
The book - which we're really enjoying reading so far - can be ordered from Amazon UK, Amazon.com (US), Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France. Watch for our review shortly but in the meantime, here's what you need to know about the book, along with some information on its background from Mark himself...

Last night, the Brixton Ritzy in south London was the setting for the North American cinematic HD
premiere of David Gilmour's forthcoming 2DVD set, "Remember That Night - Live At The Royal Albert Hall", which is released in the US on Tuesday (September 18th).
In a much more intimate setting than the European event some nine days prior, the event was broadcast live via satellite to around 162 cinemas across the US and Canada. As with the European screening, it was a stunning reminder of David's tour last year, and had its own share of great moments...

On Thursday, Nick Mason paid a very entertaining and amusing visit to his old friend Nicky Horne, as guest on Nicky's Planet Rock radio show. Mason is in mainly to chat about Piper and the original 1967 studio sessions but over the 50 odd minutes conversation moves onto the Syd Tribute show in May and why Roger didn't play with PF; Live8; future plans; Nick's fave PF track (a surprise) and the bizarre possibility of Roger joining Deep Purple on loan in a kind of inter-band transfer market. Typical Mason humour.
It's available to stream for 7 days after broadcast. Either click here for the stream, or go to PlanetRock.com, select 'Listen Live', then 'Listen Again', then 'Last 7 Days: Nicky Horne' - Mason is currently the first item.

Today's edition of the UK's The Sun newspaper has a fascinating two-page interview with Nick Mason, focusing on 1967, the recording and release of Piper At The Gates of Dawn, and the immeasurable contribution that Syd Barrett made to the band.
In the interview, Nick says: "I know it was only the first album of a band that has staggered on for 40 odd years but if it hadn’t been for Syd, we wouldn’t exist in the form we do or probably any form. I think it is nice to credit him with that."
