Choral conductor John Alldis dies

Posted December 22, 2010 by Floydian Slip

John Alldis, who conducted the choir on Pink Floyd’s “Atom Heart Mother” (1970), died Monday. He was 81.

Alldis was the man who stepped in for composer Ron Geesin, when he nearly came to blows with a horn player while recording “Atom Heart Mother.” (Hear Geesin’s account of the incident.)

Alldis’s work with Floyd was a tiny sliver of his long career, which began with The John Alldis Choir in 1962.

Roger Waters’ “Conan” appearance online

Posted December 16, 2010 by Floydian Slip

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?

Court sides with Floyd on single song sales

Posted December 14, 2010 by Floydian Slip

The British Court of Appeal has effectively sided with Pink Floyd when it said the band’s individual songs cannot be sold against its wishes.

This afternoon the court dismissed an appeal by record label EMI, which had appealed a High Court decision on the matter.

Lawyers for the band had argued Floyd’s 1999 contract with EMI prohibited the selling of individual tracks, something much more common with the advent of digital downloads.

Read more in our March 9 post: “Pink Floyd sues EMI over online sales.”
