A poll for UK station Virgin Radio has named Queen's "A Night At The Opera" as the ultimate album as voted for by the listeners to the station. Thousands of votes were cast, based on DJ Daryl Denham's shortlist of "albums you really should own". The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" was second, and "Dark Side Of The Moon" came ninth, beating the highest placing of a Beatles album ("Revolver" at number nine). Somewhat surprisingly, no other Floyd album appeared in the top fifty.

The official Pink Floyd website (found at www.pinkfloyd.co.uk) was updated late yesterday to include very nicely done coverage of the 30th anniversary edition of Dark Side Of The Moon. The new home page also has links to the Echoes site (which has been available for some time now), the David Gilmour media player (also available from this site on our downloads page), and the vastly improved message forum, which is dramatically better than the old version (despite the odd lunatic wandering on there to post "amusing" comments).

Some updates on news stories posted in March: the Oasis gig at Maine Road, to have a last big bash there before redevelopment, has been denied by the band themselves, who state that the gig is not now happening. Also, it looks like David Gilmour's appearance on David Letterman's Late Show is now not happening - the schedule for this week's show is remarkably DG-free, unfortunately.
Finally, Roger and Nick's appearance for interviews at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame tomorrow also looks to be cancelled (if indeed it was ever really scheduled). All three of these news stories appeared in a number of sources.

The David Gilmour edition of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, mentioned earlier, has now been moved to Sunday April 5th (and repeated the following Friday). Kristen Scott Thomas has taken David's original spot. This is confirmed on the BBC website message boards, by a BBC moderator. Our thanks to David Haddock for alerting us to this late change.

Late this afternoon, Brain Damage was contacted by the Roundhouse with the sad news that the May 2003 Festival, posted yesterday and set to feature David Gilmour - has been cancelled. The Festival was to be an eight day event, a fitting way to mark the closure of the old Roundhouse prior to building works starting on June 2nd.
The main reasons for the cancellation were given, including the following: "In the middle of the war it was felt that we could not go ahead with a major, potentially lavish fund-raising event at this time and a number of artists were concerned about being involved in a major festival, particularly those coming from abroad...". Our thanks to the Roundhouse for keeping us in the picture about this festival.
