We’ve put a quick survey online to help us determine listenership of the “Floydian Slip” radio show.
By taking the survey you’ll help build a demographic profile of listeners of the show — helping us expand our network of affiliate stations and secure network sponsors.
It’ll take you just 4-5 minutes to complete.
At the end, you’ll have the option of entering our weekly random drawing for a “Floydian Slip” flash drive and our monthly drawing for a Pink Floyd CD, DVD or book.

The London home where the founding members of Pink Floyd lived while the band took shape has sold for £1.2 million.
The buyer was Shivan Iswaran a Singaporean developer from Kensington, west London, who bought the Stanhope Gardens dwelling, as well as the one next to it, for £1.2 million each.
Iswaran, who says she’s not a Floyd fan, plans to decide what to do with the structure once she sees it. That’s right: She made the purchase site unseen.
As for the random musical instrument or oddity banging around the house for the past 40 years, Iswaran says she might put some of them up for bid on eBay.
Caveat emptor: Drummer Nick Mason recently posted to Facebook, “The instruments and bits of equipment … however were all (owner Mike Leonard’s), and are not, as far as I’m aware connected directly with the Pink Floyd in any way.”

The London home where the founding members of Pink Floyd lived while the band took shape is up sale for the first time in decades.
The three-story property in Stanhope Gardens, Highgate, in northern London, is expected to fetch £1.2 million at a Sept. 20 auction.
Floyd’s Roger Waters and Nick Mason moved into the home in September 1963, joined a year later by Syd Barrett. Rick Wright also lived there.
The property was owned by Mike Leonard — the band briefly called itself Leonard’s Lodgers — a lecturer at Hornsey College of Art who was instrumental in developing the band’s trademark light shows.
Leonard died earlier this year.
The structure is sorely in need of renovations. It still features Leonard’s workshop as well as a number of other remnants of the Floyd’s time spent there: drums and a homemade xylophone remain in the home along with stage lights and a Binson Echorec 2 echo unit.

“Floydian Slip” has been tweeting from the dark side of the moon for some time now. It’s all part of our strategy to build an online community of Floyd fans going back to the early-’90s when we were @AOL and posting songlists to Usenet. (Forget Vera Lynn. Does anybody here remember FloydShow@aol.com?)
Recently we’ve started tweeting notifications of each “Floydian Slip” broadcast the moment each show starts to air.
As our network’s grown to 34 stations airing the show 44 times every week, your options for when and how to listen have grown, too.
Follow us on Twitter @floydianslip to receive broadcast notices, as well as all the latest Floyd news.
Keep talking …

Satellite radio company Sirius XM will debut The Pink Floyd Channel on May 25.
The 24/7 service devoted to the band will begin on Deep Tracks (Channel 27) May 25 through 28, and then move to Sirius Channel 142/XM Channel 43 from May 29 through July 9.
Starting June 29, the service will also be available online and through the company’s mobile app for “an extended period,” according to a news release.
The channel, hosted and curated by Jim Ladd, will feature music from Floyd as well as the band’s members.
Sirius XM has created temporary channels devoted to other artists in the past, such as Paul McCartney, The Who, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and many others.
It appears uncertain whether The Pink Floyd Channel will become a permanent offering, such as the company’s channels devoted to Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley and Jimmy Buffet.
Come on in, Sirius XM … the water’s fine.

Maybe it’s just the graphic design geek in yours truly, but a collection of mosaic reproductions of famous album art recently caught our eye — particularly a remake of Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973).
David Marsh selects Pantone color swatches from Photoshop to construct his art.

We’ve added a new feature to the “Floydian Slip” Web site that allows you to view all show airtimes in the time zone of your choosing.
The widget, found on our site’s home page and our radio show page, defaults to Eastern time (EST) on your first visit, but will convert all airtimes for our 30 affiliate stations to the time zone of your choice when you select from the dropdown menu.
The site will remember your time zone choice on future visits.
We made the change due to the increasing complexity of keeping track of a growing number of airtimes in a variety of time zones as our Random Precision Radio Network grows.
We hope the new feature will make finding a time to listen to “Floydian Slip” in your part of the world easier.

Give a listen to a station ID we recently voiced for “Floydian Slip” affiliate Zenith Classic Rock.
We’re wondering how those Irish lads got Siri to pronounce “Zenith” their way …
