New Pink Floyd memoir published
Posted August 5, 2017 by Floydian Slip
(Update 8/6/17: The order page for the book is again accepting pre-orders, with an estimated ship date of Aug. 24.)
A just-published memoir from a late friend of Pink Floyd has already sold out. “In the Pink (Not a Hunting Memoir)” by Nick Sedgwick covers the time he spent with the band during 1974-75.
There’s no word yet whether the title will be reprinted.
In a promotional piece for the book, Roger Waters calls Sedgwick “one of my oldest friends,” and explains the author traveled with the band throughout England during its “Dark Side of the Moon” tour, as well as into America during ’75.
“When Nick finished the work in 1975 there was some resistance in the band to its publication,” Waters explains, “not surprising really as none of us comes out of it very well.”
Sedgwick died of brain cancer in August 2011.
Proceeds from the book go to Sedgwick’s family.
All 165 Pink Floyd tracks ranked worst to best
Posted August 5, 2017 by Floydian Slip
Author Bill Wyman has ranked all 165 Pink Floyd tracks from worst to best.
His list, along with some thoughtful analysis for each track, was published Aug. 3 on the Vulture website.
In his introduction, he admits, “In its massive confusion, this accounting — which, whether we like it or not, hangs above our cultural world, as the band itself might have put it, motionless upon the air, like an albatross — is a testament to the good humor of the gods of rock, which now and again smile upon otherwise unemployable, gangly British nitwits.”
Wyman wrote a similar article ranking all 213 Beatles songs earlier this year.
Vulture is an asset of New York Media LLC, which also owns New York Magazine.
