Nick Mason is the subject of a brief story in Classic Rock magazine. The Pink Floyd drummer has joined Featured Artists Coalition, a group devoted to bettering communication among recording artists and their business side counterparts.
“There is a tendency for musicians to view labels as just people in suits, but we are trying to get the two sides to talk,” he says in the article, “because it can only be to everyone’s benefit.
“One thing we want to see is for labels either to explore more of their back catalogue, or to give the rights back to the artists. So many companies have material in their vaults they don’t even know exists.”
Let’s hope.

If you missed last night’s “Conan” on TBS, you can watch Conan O’Brien‘s interview with Roger Waters on Waters’ Web site.
The chat seemed a little awkward — maybe bordering on contentious at a couple points.
Anyone else think so?

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters will appear on the “Conan” show tomorrow, Dec. 15.
He’ll be one of three guests along with actress Amy Adams (“Enchanted,” “Julie & Julia,” “Doubt”) and indie band Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.
The show’s Web site promises Waters “will be here to talk about just what ‘Dark Side of The Moon’ was really all about. (Hint: If you play it while watching ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ things get real trippy.)”
Waters’ last appearance on American TV was “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,” May 5.
Hosted by Conan O’Brien, “Conan” is on TBS at 11 p.m. EST.

Last week we reported (“Floyd reunion a near miss”) the world very nearly saw a reunion of the surviving members of Pink Floyd, but when the venue turned out to be the home of a wealthy socialite, drummer Nick Mason pulled out.
What we didn’t make clear — or understand ourselves! — was the reunion in question was this past July’s Hoping Foundation charity event when Roger Waters and David Gilmour shared a stage.
The pair got Andy Newmark (“The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking,” “The Final Cut”) to sit in for Mason.
