A new poll by music channel VH1 of the one hundred greatest songs of the past twenty five years, has Pink Floyd at number 15, surprisingly enough with Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2), the second highest entry from a UK act. Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit heads the list.

At midnight it was officially announced that David Gilmour had received the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) award, for his services to music, in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

This was one of a handful of such rewards made to musicians to reward longevity in their industry - his charity work is yet to be officially recognised by the Queen; an OBE or knighthood next year perhaps?

Brain Damage offers our heartiest congratulations to David for this award - well deserved and about time that a "Floyd" was honoured!

October 10th sees a new exhibition of Pink Floyd artwork being held at the Cite de la Musique (Museum Of Music) in Paris (situated in avenue Jean Jaures). The Storm Thorgerson-led exhibition, entitled "Pink Floyd Interstellar", is based on the band's album history, and Brain Damage creator Glenn Povey has been approached to help out.

As we understand it, each room in the exhibition will be themed according to each album. As we get more information for you, we will pass it on...

A French production company is promoting Peter Whitehead's Pink Floyd London '66-'67 on DVD, and Amazon France is currently stating that the release will be released on September 17th.

As yet, we have no further details of this title, other than it will obviously contain at the very least, the footage that was released on VHS Video under the same title. This included Interstellar Overdrive and Nick's Boogie.

We are currently trying to get more details for you all of this exciting release... Our thanks to our friend Kees Nijpels for alerting us to this release in the first place!
