We spoke to our friends at Reynolds & Hearn today, about the forthcoming book "Pink Floyd - The Wall" by Vernon Fitch and Richard Mahon. They have just received the manuscript for the book and are very excited by it - Vernon and Richard seem to have exceeded the publishers expectations on the quality and amount of material included, and the extensive coverage of the subject.
Publication is looking to be around October/November; we should be getting more details soon, including the final cover picture (the one that is currently being seen on various retailers is an interim cover). Sounds like it's going to be a fantastic book - get your orders in now, using our links to Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com.

We have previously reported that Stevenson Entertainment Group were planning to release a set of figurines from Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Thanks to our friends at Forbidden Planet, we are now able to show you what the figures are proposed to look like (they are still to have final approval). Each one, based on Gerald Scarfe's original drawings, comes with a segment of "wall" so that you can build you very own diorama if you collect them all.
Forbidden Planet are now taking pre-orders for the figures, which are due in September this year, via this special link directly to the figures on their website.

A new DVD is being planned by the people behind the annual Glastonbury Festival, showcasing highlights since 1994 of the event, shot by Glastonbury Television. The release date will be announced later this year, but the contents are to be decided by YOU.
They are inviting votes from the public, of which artist they would most like to see on the DVD. Roger Waters is of course one of the many options. The more votes they receive for Roger, the more chance that footage of his 2002 appearance will be included. (Please don't, however, submit multiple votes with the same email address, as they will be discounted). Vote now at the Glastonbury Festival website!

The August 2003 issue of new motoring magazine, Octane, has just hit the shops. The publication is devoted to classic sports and racing cars, with features on the beasts themselves and their drivers.
This second issue includes a nice two-page feature and interview with Nick Mason. It concentrates on his "Favourite Things", which include racing (obviously), cooking, and his own spec drum sticks ("I'm sure there are plenty of drummers who can make a set of sticks last for a few concerts but with me it gets a bit Robin Hood, with shards of wood flying around")!
If you experience difficulties in finding a copy of issue 2, please call +44 (0)1733 392894, and they should be able to sort you out a copy.

In this week's NME (the UK's long-running music newspaper), Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis, presents her ultimate compilation in their regular "Burn It" feature.
Amongst the tracks are two from Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb ("This song was like my anthem as a teen and it seems to have stayed that way. I really identified with both the lyrics and the song..."), and Brain Damage ("It's just brilliant. It's a great track to throw on late at night after a bottle of wine. You can lose yourself in this one.").
Other tracks selected came from the likes of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, and The Beatles.
