A bit of advance notice for our friends over in New York, USA - yesterday on Q104.3 radio, after playing one of Roger Waters newly-released songs, the disc jockey mentioned that "if all goes as planned, Roger will be in the studio on Wednesday (September 8th)" for an interview.

This week BBC Radio 6 are broadcasting a four-part documentary looking at the career of Pink Floyd. Starting yesterday and running until Thursday night is Wish You'd Been Here - The History of Pink Floyd, presented by Bob Harris.

The set of interviews are being broadcast to coincide with Roger Waters birthday yesterday, and form part of the radio station's "6 Music Plays It Again" series, which replays some of the best BBC documentaries about the bands who have shaped popular and alternative music in the past 40 years.

Each show is being broadcast between 2130hrs - 2200hrs BST (GMT+1), and 0300hrs - 0400hrs BST. As with many BBC shows, they offer the chance to listen again on demand via their website. Visit the main page for the documentaries throughout the week to hear the other parts, if you aren't able to listen live to the shows.

The weekend saw the annual petrol-head get-together on the Earl Of March's Goodwood estate in Sussex, England, with the Revival Meeting taking part on the motor racing circuit in his grounds. The circuit has a rich history, having been used for many races over the decades, and it was a few years ago that it was spruced up for this most enjoyable of weekends.

Firstly, our very best wishes to Roger Waters on the occasion of his 61st birthday today. Many happy returns!

We've had a number of emails commenting on Roger's two new songs, made available to stream on his website - RogerWaters.com - mostly very favourable. It has whetted the appetite of many of his fans for his forthcoming album, which should be available within the next year or two.
