Syd Barrett book in development

Posted March 30, 2010 by Floydian Slip

U.K. publisher Essential Works is planning to publish a high-end, hardcover book devoted to Syd Barrett.

“Barrett,” to be published as a small run and sold primarily via the Web, will focus on the “creative life” of the once-Floyd frontman. It’ll include more than 100 images, more than half of which have never before been published.

The company has set up a registration area at its Web site to gauge interest in the project. “We need people to register so that we know there’s enough interest out there,” according to Essential Works’ Russell Beecher. The volume of registrations will determine whether the project moves forward.

If it does, publication is expected in the fall for a price of about £60, plus delivery. A percentage of all sales will go to the Syd Barrett Estate, which has authorized the book.

Learn more and register your interest at the Web site.

Flaming Lips to do “Dark Side” at Bonnaroo

Posted February 3, 2010 by Floydian Slip

New Music Express reports The Flaming Lips will perform Pink Floyd‘s “Dark Side of the Moon” in its entirety at the Bonnaroo festival in June.

The Oklahoma group recently released a re-recording of the album on iTunes, and performed it live during their New Year’s Eve gig in Oklahoma City.

Bonnaroo takes place in Manchester, Tenn., June 10-13. Tickets go on sale Feb. 9, the same date the festival plans to officially announce its artist lineup.

While the Lips appearance seems to be a sure thing, rumors still circulate that Floyd’s Roger Waters might perform “The Wall” at the festival.

Waters said during interviews spotlighting the 30th anniversary of that seminal Floyd album he’d like to launch a proper tour of “The Wall” in 2010/11.

While his appearance in Tennessee in June is, very likely, just a rumor, we’ll be tuning in next week to see what Bonnaroo has to say.

Visit Bonnaroo on the Web.

Nick Masons joins campaign against Sudan violence

Posted January 11, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has joined Beat for Peace, a movement calling for renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent violence in the African nation of Sudan.

Mason appears in a video of drummers (below) across the globe lending their support to the cause.

Stewart Copeland (The Police), Phil Selway (Radiohead), Jonny Quinn (Snow Patrol) and many others also appear in the video.

The civil war between North and South Sudan was Africa’s longest-running civil war, killing more than 2 million people. With violence on the increase in southern Sudan, activists are trying to prevent the return of mass human rights violations to that area.

More information about Sudan and Beat for Peace is available at the Beat for Peace Web site.
