Another date for your diary! An hour-long documentary about Pink Floyd has literally just been commissioned and will transmit in early December on BBC1 TV to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band. More details as we get them... our thanks to Sarah from the BBC for bringing us the news so quickly.
UPDATE, November 25th: The hour-long documentary is called "The Pink Floyd Story: Which One's Pink?" and airs on Wednesday, December 12th at 10:45pm (11:45pm in Northern Ireland).
The documentary is said to feature extensive archive footage, some of it rarely or never seen, alongside original interviews with the four surviving members of Pink Floyd: David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard
Wright and Nick Mason. It "traces the journey of a band that has only ever had five members, three of whom have lead the band at different stages of its evolution". We should have more info on this show soon...
UK Brain Damage visitors can also watch the programme via the BBC iPlayer. Although it is JUST for UK residents, it does enable
those who miss it when it is broadcast, to legally download it up to a week later, with a month for you to watch it as often as you like.

We've just had official confirmation this evening that the proposed DVD to accompany the Pink Floyd mini-vinyl studio albums box set, "Oh, By The Way...", has been scrapped. There will not now be a DVD included inside the box.
However, there is an intention for the EPK (Electronic Press Kit) which the DVD was to be based on, to be made available online at some point. As soon as we have more details on when this is, we will let you know.

We had official confirmation from the band's management today, that the title for the Pink Floyd mini-vinyl album CD box set is "Oh, By The Way...".
To remind you, the specially designed box - which is limited to just 10,000 copies worldwide - contains the entire set of Pink Floyd studio albums on CD, in faithful reproductions of the original vinyl versions of the albums, complete with gatefold sleeves, posters and suchlike.
There's also a special, high-quality poster, a new Storm Thorgerson 40th anniversary collage of images from the band's history, and a bonus DVD. (UPDATE: DVD has been cancelled)
Full details can be found here, but in the meantime, if you are interested in the set we urge you to place your orders now to avoid disappointment - it seems to be selling fast!
Preorders for the box can be made through the following special links: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France. Don't forget - ordering from Amazon using our links directly helps support Brain Damage, doesn't cost you any extra, and is greatly appreciated!

Pink Floyd's legendary album cover artist Storm Thorgerson, who has also worked for other luminaries such as Led Zeppelin and Peter Gabriel, is the featured guest on the much respected, syndicated US radio show Rockline. He will be interviewed by host Bob Coburn on Monday, November 14th at 8:30pm PT (11:30pm ET).
For full details of which radio stations carry the show, and to find out how you tune in live via the internet (or on demand for up to two weeks following broadcast) go to www.RocklineRadio.com. Should be fascinating, and definitely unmissable!

For those who have yet to read our fascinating interview with Jon, we urge you to do so - click here to see it.
Have a great day, Jon - and many happy returns!
