Free “Floydian Slip” stickers
Posted November 16, 2013 by Floydian Slip
The new “Floydian Slip” stickers are in.
They’re free for the asking. Just send us a SASE and we’ll stick a handful in the mail to you.
For the uninitiated, a SASE is a “self-addressed stamped envelope.” You put your own address on an empty envelope, stick enough postage on it to allow us to mail it back to you with some stickers in it, and then mail it to us using another envelope.
A standard #10 business-size envelope will do, along with a single First Class stamp.
Here’s where to send to:

Nick Mason releases drum sample library
Posted November 15, 2013 by Floydian Slip
Want to play drums like Nick Mason? Sorry, we can’t help you.
But a new sample library from the Pink Floyd drummer can at least help you sound like him.
Mason’s created a sample library of his custom Ludwig “Black Kit” that promises to deliver a virtual recreation of the kit to be played with any MIDI keyboard or e-drum setup.
The sample library comes in FXPansion’s BFD2 format and includes mic channels that can be mixed for what’s being described by publisher Sonic Reality as “full album quality, vintage ’70s drums.”
The recording sessions for the samples were produced by Alan Parsons (“The Dark Side of the Moon”) using the same EMI mixing console Floyd did in the ’70s.
You can buy Nick Mason Drums online for $69/£43.

Roger Waters completes demo of new album
Posted November 14, 2013 by Floydian Slip
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has told Rolling Stone he’s completed a demo for a new album.
“I finished a demo of it last night,” he says. “It’s 55-minutes long. It’s songs and theater as well.
“I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s couched as a radio play,” he adds. “It has characters who speak to each other, and it’s a quest. It’s about an old man and a young child trying to figure out why they are killing the children.”
The album would be Waters’ first studio project of new material since 1992’s “Amused to Death.”
