Pink Floyd-branded cassette player

Posted July 21, 2026 by Floydian Slip

Given enough time out of the spotlight, just about any audio format will eventually experience some sort of comeback. Vinyl has made a more-than-respectible return to the marketplace. Cassettes might be next.

We Are Rewind — which boasts, “We didn’t invent the cassette player, but we reinvented it” — is selling a Pink Floyd-branded player for $199.

Sporting a “Dark Side of the Moon” theme, the limited edition player comes bundled with a cassette copy of the 2023 50th Anniversary Edition of Floyd’s prog-rock masterpiece “The Dark Side of the Moon” and numbered authenticity card.

And while this might seem to be 1980s technology, this device, officially the WE-001, features Bluetooth connectivity to pair with wireless headphones or speakers; and a rechargeable battery for up to 12 hours of playback.

Syd Barrett tribute concert, album and art show coming

Posted June 18, 2026 by Floydian Slip

The estate of Syd Barrett is planning a tribute concert and album to mark what would have been the Pink Floyd co-founder’s 80th birthday.

The concert will be held on World Mental Health Day (Oct. 10) at Cambridge Corn Exchange, the venue where Barrett made his final concert appareance Feb. 24, 1972.

Kula Shaker will headline the show, which will include bands influenced and inspired by Barrett such as Soft Machine, Men on the Border, Diana Silveira & The Psychedelic Circus, Radhika, and Pünk Floyd. Tickets are priced £55-132 and will go on sale June 19 at www.cornex.co.ukwww.cornex.co.uk. Proceeds will be donated to mental health charities.

The double album, “Clown and Jugglers — The Songs of Syd Barrett,” will be available Oct. 9 on colored vinyl and CD. Containing previously-released tracks as well as new recordings, the album will feature work by more than 20 artists. Previously-released recordings by Pink Floyd include two versions of Barrett’s “Arnold Layne,” the group’s first big hit in Spring 1967.

Cover art is by Mark Wilkinson, known for his work with Iron Maiden, Marillion and Judas Priest.

A major exhibition exploring Barrett’s life, art and cultural impact will run from Oct. 3-9 at Openspace in Cambridge. It’ll feature original paintings and sketches by Barrett; work from guest artists such as Barrett’s nephew Ian Barrett and Mick Rock; and talks from biographers exploring Barrett’s legacy.

Events co-organizer Neil Jones says, “Eighty years after his birth, Syd Barrett’s influence remains as powerful as ever. His music, creativity and unique vision continue to inspire artists and audiences across generations.”

Barrett died in 2006. He’d lived a reclusive life in Cambridge after retiring from the spotlight following his late-’60s departure from Pink Floyd.

Roger Waters, Mona Miari re-record “Comfortably Numb”

Posted June 15, 2026 by Floydian Slip

Roger Waters and Palestinian singer-songwriter Mona Miari have re-recorded “Comfortably Numb” as a tribute to Gaza. The two share vocals on the track, with Miari singing in Arabic.

The Pink Floyd co-founder and Miari began corresponding after a film project they were involved with about artists in Gaza died in development. “After the demise of the previous project we got together and said, ‘How about Comfortably Numb?,” Waters recalls in a YouTube video. “Is there some way you and I could reimagine this and make it relevent for today?”

They re-wrote much of the song’s lyrics going back and forth with one another via email. “It became almost like penpals with her writing in Arabic and me responding in English,” he explains.

Miari’s lyrics focus on the plight of the Gazan people. “‘I feel your pain from New York City.’ Those were the first eight words I wrote down,” Waters says.

The new recording is available on streaming platforms, with proceeds to be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. The video will be posted to YouTube June 17.

Listen to past episodes of “Floydian Slip”

Posted December 29, 2025 by Floydian Slip

“Floydian Slip” has partnered with Patreon to allow fans access to our archive of past programs.

When you sign on as a Slipporter at Patreon for $5 a month, you’ll receive on-demand access to the digital archive of our weekly Pink Floyd radio program that goes back to 2009.

“The most-common question I get asked is how people can listen to past episodes,” program producer and host Craig Bailey says. “Now you can.”

Bailey created “Floydian Slip” in 1989 on a campus station as a student at Ithaca College in upstate New York. Over the last nearly 40 years, he’s produced more than 1,550 episodes.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t start saving shows for posterity until I self-syndicated the program in 2009,” he says, which explains why Slipporter access only reaches back to ’09. Still, there are currently more than 850 shows waiting to be made available, and the pool grows each week.

We’re rolling out the archive by making available four (4) past episodes each month. Slipporters will be notifed by email when programs are added to the archive, and can listen to the shows on-demand and commercial-free at Patreon.

Programs will have aired across our Random Precision Radio Network of more than 120 stations at least two (2) years prior to being made available on Patreon.

David Gilmour’s Black Strat to be auctioned again

Posted November 6, 2025 by Floydian Slip

“The Black Strat,” David Gilmour‘s fabled Fender Stratocaster guitar he played on so many classic Pink Floyd recordings and on stage, will be going on the auction block (again) in March.

The Floyd guitarist auctioned the instrument along with a bevvy of other guitars in June 2019 raising $21.5 million for ClientEarth, an organization that funds attorneys and other experts to fight climate change. The Black Strat alone sold for $3,975,000, purchased by Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts.

Christie’s New York is now scheduled to sell it again as part of Irsay’s enormous collection going on the block following his death May 21. The collection will be auctioned over a series of events beginning in March.

Other instruments included in the auction were owned and played by all four Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Bo Diddley, Janis Joplin, Elton John, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Jim Morrison, and dozens more.

Gilmour bought the Black Strat at Mannie’s Music in New York City in May 1970, and played it extensively through the ’70s and into the ’80s on recording such as “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973), “Wish You Were Here” (1975), “Animals” (1977) and “The Wall” (1979).

Free public exhibitions will accompany the sales at Christie’s, which is located at 20 Rockefeller Plaza. Read more about the auctions
